But when tasked to do so during Wednesday’s Senate Agriculture Committee meeting on the Farm Bill,

Rivers may be carrying more microplastics into the world's oceans than previously thought
Microplastics are a modern environmental menace and a potential threat to human health. These tiny pieces of plastic, measuring from 1 to 5,000 micrometers, come mainly from larger plastics as well as sources such as paints and cosmetics. They are found in almost every corner of the planet, and a new study published in Science suggests rivers may be carrying far more of them into the ocean than previously thought.

@… "Can emojis be removed from Unicode? Or are they there forever once they are in?" - As of now, once they're in, they're in. The code point in Unicode is then reserved for this symbol. This can be a problem because emojis are kind of open-ended (other than alphabets and many other symbol lists). And it's possible that some emojis turn out to be rarely used. I could imagine that eventually some platforms just stop supporting a certain emoji - but it's really useful to have an international encoding standard which is fully supported by most technology (as anyone who has programmed or written online text in the early 2000s can attest). That's why getting a new emoji approved has become so hard - we're basically creating a kind of tech debt for a potentially long time.
Funny story - you could try creating a post now with a Unicode character from an "empty" code point in the emoji range, in the hope that it will get assigned in a later round. I've seen such a post on the old Twitter, which later was filled with all kinds of random emojis, when you look at it in a few years. #linguistics #emojis #WorldEmojiDay

I'm not a theatre person, but to me the below is true for most art, including photography:
"I was taught that theatre is supposed to slow the world down so it can be looked at, and the person who looks is not supposed to be the same when they walk out. Otherwise, there’s no fucking point. Art is not a leisure activity. It’s about engagement." — Bonnie Greer

Let's get this straight: anything created with "AI" is #slop.
It doesn't have to be vibe-coded. It doesn't have to be horrible code. It doesn't matter that you've spent hours perfecting the prompt. It doesn't matter that ten people have spent a week reviewing it in detail.
As long as an "AI" took part in writing it, it's slop. It's an unethical technology, and anything created with it is tainted. It's an inhuman technology, and you're supporting it. You're being disrespectful to your users and contributors. You're putting your own convenience over humanity. You're aiding the worst murderous assholes in the history of humanity. And what's perhaps worst, you quite likely believe that you are making a net positive contribution, that you're helping people, while you're actually disrespecting and harming them.

Not EVERY work of culture (books, arts, music, theater, film) has to be remade to represent EVERY marginalized community.
It seems to me 't'would be much better to more heavily promote new works by marginalized creatives and / or covering marginalized communities as subject matter.
For example, I'm seeing a lot more new LBGTQ and BIPOC science fiction and fantasy than I used to. Some, awful, but a lot of it excellent.

gen-AI outputs tend to be locally plausible but globally incoherent, because there's no intention, no viewpoint that motivates the assembly of the parts.
with a little practice, people can get pretty good at sensing "the vibes are wrong", and from there pick out specific details that are suggestive of gen-AI. note that this process goes from global to local, but the explanations tend to be just the local, because it's hard to explain "the vibes are wrong"

Broadly speaking, almost ever painting ever made is a work of art.
