I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

"Money is the root of all evil" isn't just a phrase to brush off. Yet, what's the point of making so much money your progeny won't even be able to spend it because we'll all be dead or dying?

Wow. Who knew animated films could have mass appeal. Gee whiz it's almost like the female poc director was able to make the film she wanted to make and her vision flourished/grew in the hands of skilled artists, animators, musicians and actors without Ai being shoved down their collective throats.

Good news out of Tahoe, where wildlife officials were going to kill a bear and tiny cub for some non violent incidents involving food. Backing off due to pressure the folks in the neighborhood. We have a real obligation as we take so much habitat away to make up for it with kindness and patience.

I did, too! In 2005 I was in grade 10 highschool and I drew some anime thing for a friend; he proceeded to not only claim he drew it but then he gave it to his crush I was also her friend, she showed it to me, raving, and I was like, "Uh, I actually drew that, he lied" lol
