Anyway, I drew Bulbasaur as a wretched medieval frog

I guess what bothers me most about 2026-era macro economics is how shameless it all is. The wealthy are siphoning the world's entire economic surplus into a harebrained attempt to replace workers with data centers, and they've captured society so thoroughly that we're just letting them. If they succeed, what do you think the world will look like? If they don't, you can bet the consequences will not be carried by these clowns themselves.

People keep sharing an image of a bird with a drop of water bursting on its head like a crown. It's AI, but people share it in good faith, believing it’s an amazing photo by a human of a real bird in a real moment of time. Meanwhile, humans who have taken amazing photos of real birds captured in real moments of time, like a hummingbird in ballet with a butterfly, get questioned in good faith by people who are tired of being cheated by AI-deceit. The way AI has broken social trust is distressing.

Knowingly using a piece of software that *BY DESIGN* fabricates text is not "hallucination" - it is fraud. I'd be prosecuted if I sat down and invented references for submissions in a court case. I'd lose my job as an academic if I did the same for a paper. Someone explain why automating fraud has somehow made it completely fine and consequence-free?

The very tiny remaining few of us who still give a crap about "not lying" need to fight to bring back real consequences for fraud, fabrication

Later today, after I shake off the lingering effects of a vacation, we will be announcing a contest where you can win your very own #Plushtodon AND 2 excellent books from #Fediverse champions. Yes, there is effort required to adopt one of these peach coloured cuties because this incredible value is worth working for.

Stay tuned...
