In my lifetime, I've seen segments of society lose trust in evolutionary biology, climate science, and vaccines. None of this was due to anything scientists did. All of it was because non-scientists perceived some advantage (political, cultural, financial) in attacking science's credibility.

I write about this in the book. Increasingly, the proposition from these companies is “let us surveil you constantly.” That’s it! That’s the deal. In return you get the (supposed) benefit of a machine that “knows” you, whatever that’s supposed to mean. finance.yahoo.com/technology/a...

George Lucas Goes To The Dark Side, Says AI Is 'The Future' https://kotaku.com/george-lucas-artificial-intelligence-ai-museum-art-2000715801

Big corporations using AI to discriminate against workers who are pregnant or have disabilities? Sounds pretty dystopian. But that's exactly what Meta workers are alleging. This can't be our future. We need meaningful guardrails to protect workers NOW! www.reuters.com/world/meta-u...

Satya Nadella says every firm using AI is paying for it twice, once in cash, and once in the secrets it hands over to make the thing useful

Lindsey Graham: “Donald Trump is not a conservative Republican. He's an opportunist. He's not fit to be President of the United States.”

Every time I see news w this console , I feel it supports my feelings it was a gift from the gaming gods. Somehow, this ancient artifact Sixth Gen system seems it cannot die . Bless this console- And blessed be the potato computers than emulate it , no problem

If you didn't object when Donald Trump gloated about Robert Mueller's death your scolding over responses to Lindsey Graham's death isn't about respect for the dead, it's about censorship of the living.

Indie dev discovery is tough, so I'm grateful for every video of my games. BUT gen AI thumbnails are bad vibes. Can only imagine how terrible it feels for artists like @estivador.bsky.social to see twisted crappy versions of their passion-fueled creations vomited out by a soulless anti-art robot...

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

Data centres use a lot of water, but they use even more during hot periods. While the government is set on growing the number of water-intensive data centres without any understanding of the implications, the media tells us to stop watering plants 1/3 www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

We are forced to exist in a world where the same people who believe a man built a boat big enough for every animal don't believe in climate science because it’s “unproven.”

We’re close to the end of our fundraiser and still haven’t met our goal — we need ~$4k in four days. Frankly: I’ve used… a lot of personal funds to keep us afloat over the years between Kickstarters. I now have a child who’ll need daycare. I won’t have enough left over to bridge khōréō’s gaps.

Platner is, I believe, hoping that Maine voters will flood the Maine Democratic Party over the next few days urging them to keep him on. I think that's the strategy here. He wants enough "feedback" to point to the "will of the voters" and justify staying on the ballot. This guy is a sociopath.
