If you get self-conscious about posting repeated promo, let me give you all my long-standing promo-hack, for free. (I'm not currently using it, but I will be soon! lol)

This is a site without an algo, but also one that does not punish links. So what you want to do is make a strategic thread.

"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

I just finished filing my claim with the #Anthropic settlement, which used FIFTEEN of my books to train the goddamned Temu Terminator, and I am fucking furious and heartbroken about it:

“I wish I would have known that I could speak up.”

“I wish I knew that I could ask for a nurse to be present.”

As we’ve reported on sexual misconduct by OB-GYNs, many women told us they didn’t know what was normal. We created this guide with the help of providers, patients and experts.

If you like what I have to say, you can give me $1 and read more things!

This is a great list of techniques for getting real information out of a Google search and avoiding AI slop and paid results.
(One thing not included is that if you add "-ai" to a search, you block the AI summary) cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has-a-secret-reference-desk?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true

Oh this is a really important win.

So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting?

This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

see?
here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared
