@cstross I mean, Polio is a disease I am very interested in. The vaccine came shortly before I was born, so I was one of the generation who felt very fortunate to have it.

And my wife had an aunt who had been paralysed for life by Polio. I knew her - she was one of the very lucky ones. She lived. She was able to have a fairly normal life - married and had children.

I lived at a time when vaccines were saving so many lives. So many thousands of lives.

And this fuckbrained heap of scum wants to turn all that back. The sooner he rots in hell, the better.

@catsalad There is no way past that.

@lokeloski There is a sense where, in an academic environment, using AI for those parts that are not central to ones study might be justified.

So, if you are doing comics, learning how to draw stories, maybe using something else for the storywriting is viable.

Obviously, not in the real world. In the real world, generative AI is of no use whatsoever.

@indynetco @selzero No it shouldn't. We should expand it to "JD is a fucking Nazi scum piece of motherfucking shit fascist who needs to die."

Is that better?
