The oven and dishwasher in our house are from 1989. They still work fine and I'm worried about the day we have to replace them. The microwave is also from that year though that one I'm a bit more sketchy on lol

AI in education = commercialisation of a collective responsibility outsourcing a social, civic, and democratic process of cultivating the coming generation to commercial and capitalist enterprise whose priority is profit

Klaud, Grogu, and some new original characters that are all weirdo puppets. No human in the main cast. Bonus points if none of them even speak Basic.

The opening page of the Florida AG's lawsuit against OpenAI is quite the statement.

I wasn't ready for the end of that sentence. 10/10

A long time ago someone made the effort to document these two going bananas and I am grateful. Photos from my collection, no date/info.

don’t get left behind

If you watch Spider-Noir in color, just know that I think you are a coward.

Humour also requires a healthy degree of both self-awareness and vulnerability. Fascists are not self-aware and because they have the thinnest skins imaginable they cannot cope with even the idea of people laughing *at* them. To be the butt of a joke is to be a loser.

Still waiting for Andor Season 2 Blu Ray announcement and soundtrack vinyl announcement...

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.

hey everyone wanna see what a manufactured hate campaign is shaped like???

Seeing credits at the start of a Star Wars movie is very jarring

The most selfish amongst us love this dogshit and couldn't care less about anyone else. Fuck you and your clean drinking water, look how cool it is when my AI agent runs my fantasy football team

It's Mandalorian and Grogu day! Discover the top 5 games for fans of The Mandalorian! Congrats to @fantasyflightgames.bsky.social @unlimitedffg.bsky.social @atomicmassgames.bsky.social and @unexpectedgames.bsky.social for making the list! 😉 youtu.be/UlPtaDGVZUo #TheMandalorianandGrogu

this week's post is about how AI doesn't even do the things people pretend it does margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/ai-doesnt-...

OpenAI Announces Construction Of New Data Center On Top Of Sick Child

Um is Encarta still selling discs?

The result of AI boosters getting booed at commencement will NOT be them getting a wake-up call about AI skepticism. They will just stop speaking at commencements. But that’s a small win!

So Grogu's eyes are huge and black (for cuteness reasons) but Yoda and Yaddle just have regular human-like eyes. So for science I wanted to see what Grogu would look like if I photoshopped Yoda's eyes onto him. I experimented with placement, so choose your favorite Viewer discretion is advised.

This is so weird especially after they used the live-action likeness for young Ahsoka for that other figure yet don't use a live-action likeness for this??

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

a primal scream that captures a moment

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

I have finally swapped from Chrome to Firefox.

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

DAWKINS: You idiots believe in God? ALSO DAWKINS: The Computer is alive. And it’s also my girlfriend

Grogu should have been entirely absent from Mandalorian Season 3.

Students need to learn critical thinking, full stop. Not just to "critically interpret outputs." We are narrowing and tailoring what an education means to the asinine greedy demands of the tech industry, who just want us to keep using their products, ffs.

Job hunting in a hostile environment. ✨

Found an incredibly tragic story told by the titles of these books at an estate sale.

Andor Babylon Berlin Tron Uprising Hell on Wheels Star Wars Rebels Westworld Band of Brothers It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Um. Gut instinct forgot all other shows I've ever watched.

"Any animal, however loathsome, will resist when stepped upon. Are men less than snails or worms? I have some resistance in me; I know that you have, too; you have been robbed and you will be starved into a worse condition."

@emilymbender.bsky.social @alexhanna.bsky.social @fractalecho.bsky.social Ahoy! As the authors of the two AI related books I've read, I wanted to know if this book was on your radar: titles.cognella.com/understandin... Do you know anything about this? Was curious to hear your impressions!

Jesus Christ, this is more dystopic than anything Philip K Dick ever wrote but it’s what the Russo Brothers want for your AI Slop future

@theonion.com I became a member back in march, should I have received the latest issue in the mail by now? I've seen it on shelves.

Almost passed this thrift store find by until I noticed the prestigious author. @infinata.bsky.social

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

On season 1 finale of our Mandalorian rewatch and am still wondering how many Mandalorians have died from easily treatable head wounds.

So it seems like 90% of 2D items (shirts, art prints, stickers etc) on Etsy these days is just AI Slop huh.

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

"AI is garbage, bro, it gives you wrong answers like half the time and the other half the time makes you stupid." Overheard a middle schooler chastising a fellow student for suggesting they use AI. Whole middle school herd started mocking the AI kid. ...We need to let these kids at the tech bros.
