Screenshot of a NYTimes Headline, which reads, An Artist Honors Extinct Plants and Animals at New York’s Swiss Institute In an East Village gallery, K Allado-McDowell has created an audiovisual tribute to species we have lost as a rehearsal for a proposed physical monument.

Artwashing AI includes such perverse efforts as this: using a tool whose energy needs are so extractive that it contributes to climate change, which threatens the survival of endangered species...in order to "really make ya think" about endangered species.

Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores. This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.
Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

‘Crusius studied spoken Greek carefully, treating his visitors as crucial primary sources. Yet he regarded modern vernacular Greek as a corrupt version of its classical ancestor.’
