@Stagecoach_West frequent issue. I'm sure I can speak for many people (including myself) that this is affecting jobs due to tardiness on multiple occasions. I hate to be one to complain, but I feel like we need to be heard now since it's happening constantly for this route. [2/2]

@Stagecoach_West I appreciate that, but it has been late on so many occasions now (Monday also, the week before that and before that- not to mention I'm on the bus stop right now and once again it is late) that I'm struggling to believe that anything is being done to try and improve this [1/2]

#Stroud Due to driver sickness the following services will be unable to run - 0717 64 from Whitminster to Stroud 0755 64 from Stroud to Great Oldbury 0822 64 from Great Oldbury to Stroud 0910 62 from Stroud to Gloucester 0945 64 from Gloucester to Stroud. The 0700 63 to FG late

@CptScrotum @Stagecoach_West Nevermind, it finally turned up 34 minutes late. Wow.

@CptScrotum @Stagecoach_West Did this arrive for you? I've been waiting for the 8:20 (in rudford) and it hasn't turned up. This has made me late for work multiple times!

An example of AI-generated cover art gone terribly wrong. I'd send a cease and desist if I could find this author's contact information, but since I can't, I'll just call them out here. 😕 @Interactiveques

For those of you unaware, it’s been recently unearthed by the @theatlantic that @meta used a digital library of pirated books to train their Large Language Model, Llama 3. This library consisted of over 80tb of literary works, constituting the theft of millions of books, likely from every author you’ve ever heard of, including every novel I’ve ever written. None of these authors were compensated for the use of their work, nor asked permission for its use. None of us. This is not simply a matter of theft - although theft at this scale at the behest of a billionaire is particularly egregious. I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that LLM (aka AI) technology represents a clear and present danger to the human artistic endeavor. Despite claims to the contrary, it is not a tool through which people can unlock their hidden artistic gifts. It is a plagiarism machine, trained on the stolen works of hundreds of thousands of human artists, developed solely to supplant the very artists from which it has stolen. There are several lawsuits already underway against Meta over this theft. A full list of the stolen work is available through @theatlantic . If you want to educate yourself further about the dangers of LLM/AI tech (as opposed to doomscrolling the gibberish of armchair experts on Reddit), I suggest you start with the work of @tristanharris @humanetech and their brilliant podcast, Your Undivided Attention.

I have the pleasure to announce that I am one of the paleoartist collaborating with the Professor Primula’s Portfolio of Palaentology project with many of my pieces! Including several EXCLUSIVE ones The Kickstarter is now LIVE!
