Is being ‘woke’ a badge of honor?

Historically, the word was used as a warning to be aware of racial injustices.

@TheConversationUS @blackmastodon No, it's a badge of compassion.

Are there any benefits to being a very slow ?

@bibliolater @bookstodon I suppose that depends on whether you read to enjoy the content or read to fill the empty void in your life.

Really not liking the new trend of non-visual arts academics using AI to create graphics for their blogs, slide presentations, videos, etc.

VALUE HUMAN LABOR & CREATIVITY

We already know that this AI was created by ripping off visual artists without consent or compensation. When you use AI to goose up your work instead of using public domain, the right CC license, legit stock licensing or work you've commissioned. you are engaging in academic misconduct, in my opinion.

@ml @academicchatter Why does it matter? Do people read those blogs, slide presentations, or videos for the pictures they contain? If they don't care about the quality and their audience doesn't care about the quality, and they just need something to fill the blanks, why make another human put in the work for something that ultimately is totally meaningless?

Let a machine handle that busywork.

@Landa @ml @academicchatter Same reason for hotel art: to fill space. Not everything in life has to be bespoke.

Still probably under 10 hours into , but I’m enjoying it a lot. Like RDR meets TLoU, but with motorcycles. This game deserved more praise.

@chrishudsonjr Also love that game. Very underrated. It has a lot of very subtle touches that really tie it together.

@bibliolater @science @archaeodons Oh great, using a technology renowned for its fallibility for a task that nobody can check its accuracy.

Sounds like a great idea :eyeroll:
