And then when you explain to someone what was actually said by these people you look deranged because it's so wildly different to what was reported that your average mildly disengaged person thinks you must be some sort of conspiracy theorist nutjob until you can convince them to watch or read the person's original statement before the press got hold of it.

Not only should it be law that anything AI generated on the internet should be labelled as such but every website, app, and digital service should have a button I can click that removes any AI from my interactions with that site/service. I don't want your AI assistant I don't want your AI-generated ad copy I don't want this insidious little thing that has crept into so much of the internet that I can be using it without even realising or knowing. If you couldn't be bothered to have a human make it I can't be bothered to look at it sorry bye

To kind of add onto @vagueconfusion 's post from yesterday about ai bands:

fellbrink always knows whats up and is one of the only people in the alt/metal influencer scene on instagram & the clock app that seems like he doesn't suck

Block these bands where you can, make a list of their names and if they come up through YouTube's recommendations tell YouTube you're not interested in them

There's only so much we can do alone, but together we can try to slow their traction. Support real musicians.

the list for reference:

  • Bleeding Verse
  • Aventhis
  • Ruby Darkrose
  • The Devil Inside
  • The Velvet Sundown
  • Obsidian Swing
  • DEADLUVE
  • Serinx
  • AngelofAnarchy
  • Ghost//Signal

Was drunk and bored and getting annoyed at the ridiculous coverage of the US election so I decided to fix the place.

I'm from Australia where we only have 7 states, as such I have the (objectively correct) opinion that 50 is too many states, so I decided to cut it down to 10.

A few notes on my improved US map:

•Despite Illinois making the cut, Chicago is now in Michigan, due to the state getting the entire bank of its namesake.

•Boston is also in Michigan due to special exception.

•New York is now the capital of Pensylvania

•Yes that's how you spell Pensylvania

•The border of California is just roughly the Rockies, no need to overthink it.

•Making Florida bigger actually dilutes it's power, but Texas must be abolished

•Colorado should still be a rectangle, that's my mistake, I just couldn't be bothered fixing it.

•Alaska has been returned to Canada with a hand written apology

•All the random ass islands that the US forgot to pretend they didn't colonise have gained independence

Please let me know if there are any more improvements you can think of.

Edit: As a number of you have mentioned, Alaska never belonged to Canada, and giving it to them would be incredibly wrong when the native people have been trying to gain independence all this time.

Luckily, the apology note got lost in the mail in all the turmoil, so Canada never realised they're meant to have Alaska now. The Alaskans just start quietly self-governing and hoping the US and Canada don't notice, then after a few years they declare independence.

OP where do you think Boston is located.

it's an unincorporated territory
