some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive
My friend was preparing for shooting the lunar eclipse when a plane came by
IM GONNA CUT THE FUCKING MOON IN HALF

pisses me off when i see people on other platforms talk about "everyone" abandoning tumblr after the sex ban and what a big impact that had. THE WEAK LEFT THE STRONG SURVIVED. REAL TUMBLR USERS WILL NEVER STOP. they could make a new update where you can only post 3 words at a time and id still be on here like "hey guys whats"
I know thoughts shaped like this are guaranteed to be wrong but sometimes I feel like I am completely alone in being normal about generative AI. No every piece of software does not need a chatbot. No every developer that adds AI features to their software is not automatically bad. No we shouldn't let companies vacuum up the creative output of the entire human race for profit. No we shouldn't apply the same framework of content ownership to a machine learning process that we do to actual 1:1 copying. No we shouldn't be using it as a replacement for friends or therapists. No it isn't literally driving people insane en masse. No we shouldn't be building thousands of new data centres for questionable benefit without considering the environmental cost. No they aren't going to make the difference between cooking the planet and not cooking the planet. No you shouldn't be getting AI to write your college papers for you. No it's not inherently evil to use it as a research tool. Everyone just calm the fuck down slightly
this post has, predictably, been found by the people who do not want to calm the fuck down slightly
