so today a group of 8-9 year old kiddos approaches my desk and goes “hey. we want to go to the downstairs part of the library.”

i’m like “you can totally go downstairs, but just so you know, right now the only thing down there is the genealogy department. that’s like the history of this area and the people who lived here a long time ago.”

i’m expecting them to lose interest, but to my surprise, they go “we want to see the genealogy department!!!!!!”

so i’m like “alright let’s do it!!!!” and lead this group of maybe six elementary school kids across the library make way for ducklings style and downstairs to our extremely not kid friendly genealogy room. our genealogy librarian is super cool, though, and he pulls out a few interesting things for them to look at & they ask a lot of questions and try to find where they live on maps from the 1800s

after about fifteen minutes, their curiosity has been sated, so we go back upstairs and over to the children’s department in that same duckling parade style

truly wish i could render this little scene artistically for you all it was a delight

every single school teacher should get paid $300,000 a year minimum and ICE agents should all die simultaneously in agony. this is my congressional budget plan

the thing that I can't stop noticing about commercials for chatgpt and other ai shit is that they can't even seem to come up with creative or interesting shit to do with it. like everything that they show people using it for is stuff that you could already do if you had, like, any friends or the ability to use any search engine

this sites been a culture maker for like at least 15 years now and no one in the wider world knows or cares

“Yeah but like you probably at least use chatgpt for—” let me stop you right there. I don’t even know what chatgpt is, software wise. Is it a desktop program, a website, an app? No fucking idea.

Don’t have any desire to find out, either.

christiana! your butch made poem made me cry.... very good... i am butch and i always love hearing from other butches their own experiences. hopefully, if i can remember, i will share your poem with my butch partner later

hey this is actually so sweet! thank you for saying something and letting me know that it landed with someone 💛

it’s funny how interactions on other socials mean next to nothing in my brain, but notes on tumblr are a sign of the work being worthwhile. i hope you & your butch had a good day

At risk of sounding like a hater and an asshole this looks like AI and if its somehow not, the editor who reworked images and sharpened them up made it look like AI

Edit: yeah its AI

[theromanbarbarian]

This is the actual image (from a 6 year old reddit post so def not AI). Either someone asked AI to recreate it or AI, being the plagiarism machine it is, was asked for a pic of dogs finding humans in the snow and just ripped off the first image it could find. Another reminder that AI doesn't actually create anything. Also real cute dogs.

[badboneszone]

Actually a fantastic example for when you need to illustrate to someone that AI art is theft, blatantly, and not in some abstract way
