I see generative AI on the web the same way I see forever chemicals in the real world. The effects may not be immediately apparent but they are poisoning mankind. Those who acquired knowledge and skills in the before era will be fine, but newer generations won't have the same reference points to tell reality from fiction. They will search for "baby peacock" on Google and have no reason to believe the actual birds look any different to what they're shown. I find that sad somehow.

Miso: if I sit politely at the table, maybe they'll feed me dinner?
At a café in Montmartre, Paris. When I saw the vase in front of that red window I wanted to give it a shot even though it was fairly dark inside. Rested the camera on my teacup and hoped for the best.

Extremely chilling to read that @w7voa put on leave after a Trump advisor called a tweet of his — which was quoting someone — as "treasonous."

Need something positive for distraction?
Here’s a snuggle bug.
What's to stop Musk, who's already tried meddling with German elections, from seizing Zelenskyy's, or any other European leader's X account, and posting something with dire geopolitical consequences? We're way past the point where it's wise for European leaders and institutions to rely on a presence on X—and other US platforms are not a good long-term solution either. More should follow the example of the @EUCommission and provide their updates directly, without middlemen, through the fediverse.
A view of Paris. I was happy to get something green in the frame.

Props to #Zelenskyy for even going to a room full of the dumbest people alive. I know you can't discard any opportunity when your whole country is at stake, even if it seems hopeless.
The jardin des Tuileries was a little barren, but I don't know what else you could expect in the middle of February. I tried out a wider lens, and Amelia tried out a new, Parisian haircut.
