«Todas las imágenes realizadas por IA se parecen bastante, con un dibujo fotorrealista con gente anodina y que responde a cánones de belleza estrictos: narices pequeñas, pómulos altos, cuellos imposiblemente largos y los ojos son de dos personas distintas» explica el ilustrador David López a El País

Parece que Grupo Planeta no escarmentó lo suficiente con el rechazo masivo que sufrió en 2024 cuando uno de sus sellos, Destino, publicó la edición española de Juana de Arco, de Katherine J. Chen, con una portada hecha por IA generativa.

Ana Rodrigues: In defense of unpolished personal websites. “My imperfect and unpolished code on my personal website isn’t the full reflection on my technical abilities or knowledge of web development standards. It’s a constant draft where my handwriting is legible and where I want optimization takes a backseat. It’s where I use the little free time I have to actually write on it and […]

As the climate crisis accelerates -- more intense rain, more damaging hurricanes, damaging droughts, catastrophic, city destroying wildfires --- what you want to do is bolster and improve your weather forecasting and warning systems, improve your disaster response, help prepare communities to reduce impacts from disasters, invest in better firefighting. That means more investment, and more people helping to keep all of us safe. It's clear (it has been clear for a long time) the folks in charge here now don't care about anyone but themselves, and really don't care if you die. #editorial #wx
@escott@babka.socialThat’s it: #Bezos has now taken personal control over WaPo’s #editorial position. I’m out. Cancelled my #WaPo sub, which I’ve had for about five years now.
The #LATimes is next on the block. It’s the only major Southern California paper in existence at this point, but no news may indeed be preferable to fucked-up, #fascism-serving, #billionaire-hugging alternative “news”.

I get it, you worked hard for hours and days and weeks on your incredibly cool-looking interface for your game. You made it so all the text perfectly lines up everywhere and picked a slick looking font, but it's all too darn small.

@ZhiZhu@newsie.socialIf you're wondering about what exactly editorial cartoonists do and why it is important, here is a visual essay that #AnnTelnaes created back in 2019 that she re-posted on her newsletter recently:

Shipley held a contentious meeting on Monday with scores of #opinion section staffers, who posed tough questions to the #editorial page chief, including appeals for #Bezos to address them.
As recently as last week, according to a person present, Shipley said he sought to talk Bezos out of his decision. Shipley added, “I failed.”
“I believe we face a very real threat of #autocracy in the candidacy of Donald #Trump,” Hoffman added in his letter to #Editorial Page Editor #DavidShipley, which was obtained by NPR. “I find it untenable & unconscionable that we have lost our voice."
Hoffman says he intends to remain at the paper, saying he "refuses to give up on The Post, where I have spent 42 years.
The other writer is David Hoffman, who accepted a #PulitzerPrize for #editorial writing on Thurs, the day before #Bezos’ decision…. Pulitzer judges recognized him “for a compelling & well-researched series on new #technologies & the tactics #authoritarian regimes use to repress #dissent in the digital age, & how they can be fought.”
The decision by #Bezos, the #billionaire founder of #Amazon, was first reported by NPR on Friday. In the days since, 2 columnists have resigned from the paper & 2 writers have stepped down from the #editorial board.
One of those #writers, Molly Roberts, warned of the possible consequences of the 11th-hour decision to stay quiet rather than publish the editorial endorsing #Harris. "#Trump is not yet a #dictator," she wrote in a stmnt. "But the quieter we are, the closer he comes."
