What jobs are we preparing students for by boosting their writing productivity with AI? After shedding 40% of its workforce, the gaming site Gamurs posted an ad last June for an editor to write 250 articles per week. That’s a new article every 10 minutes, at $4.25 per article.
As @novomancy has noted, AI is only the accomplice here. This clickbait nightmare is the logical conclusion of the ad-supported web.

Time for @ByttenStudio to take a victory lap; they just buried their competition with Capricorpse!
Seriously though, just play @CassetteBeasts I have so few complaints on it and it's probably one of my favorite indie games of all time, and it's made with Godot, works on Linux natively, and the developers are on the fediverse! Not to mention, they seem very receptive to fans, unlike that other company...
'However, work on a variety of systems, such as RNA secondary structures & protein–DNA interactions, has shown that robustness can facilitate evolvability under certain conditions. Specifically, robustness to mutations can lead to numerous sequences with similar functions that differ by few mutations.'

Open source is neither a community nor a democracy
Using open source software does not entitle you to a vote on the direction of the project. The gift you've received is the software itself and the freedom of use granted by the license.world.hey.com
most of the work on projects is fixing bugs/ patching CVEs and ensuring back compatibility. it is a small group who have bug fixing skills that contribute the most and/or add to the main architecture of a project, which does give them more weight in any say.
FOSS is indeed a gift and i love when repos have the 'buy me a coffee' option as a way to give an option for compensation.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,
There's a film photographers' competition deadline coming up with a $1,000 cash prize for the first place (and other prizes, inc. exhibition).
It's called Analog Sparks. Entry fees range from $10 to $25, which is quite reasonable in my opinion.

Do you see a series of sunken rectangles or 16 circles?
This is The Coffer Illusion.
Our brains are geared toward identifying objects & here, “pixels” are grouped to form edges & contours, shapes, & objects. The image is inherently ambiguous so there is no “right” grouping.
Rectangles dominate first for most people - including me, but keep staring & the image may flip to circles.
