david wolfpaw • 21 Nov 2024 • Reading time: 6 minsHey yall! It’s been quite another week, hasn’t it?
I’ve been feeling a little better about some things that are going on in my life, personally anyway.
I’ve also been consuming a lot of media. I decided that this week I’d go a bit overboard in the link shares, and focus on writing more thoughts next week. I hope yall don’t mind, since I have a lot that I want to write!
See you next week, and feel free to share anything that you’ve found online lately that you think that I’d like 🥰

I thought that it was gonna be about how that emoji gets mashed into a lot of AI images. But no, it’s about how AI companies want to show that they are ✨amazing✨ and ✨the future✨
A clear distinction: it’s not the quality of the output, but the inputs and methods of creation that make slop.
I worry that this’ll be a crass Bluey knock-off, but I’m hopeful?
Too many folks that I know feel this story all too well.
I attended Shiftercon, and I’m glad that most talks were recorded, since there were so many that I wanted to see but couldn’t!
Yeah, it can be very useful, but it brought lots of terrible practices in with it.

Remember, you don’t need AI to make and disseminate and believe fake news.
Samson has such a calm and soothing voice and I love listening to him talk about his life 🥰
TIL that this famous music video was made in Orlando, and apparently the treadmills were resold here 
I heard this song for the first time in this week’s Unusual Memes video, but it’s fun and goes out to all my raccoon fursona friends! 🦝
If you made it this far, why not share this newsletter with a friend? Or share with me some of the things that you found that you liked this week. Either way, I’m thrilled!
