I can’t believe we got another GTA VI delay before we got GTA VI

On a side note--I have been reading @404media.co more and more and they do some really fantastic reporting on issues that I find really important (AI in particular). Just became a subscriber. Check them out if you have time: www.404media.co

Between this and Zohran having attended AEW shows, I'm excited to replace our wrestling fan government (derogatory) with a wrestling fan government (complimentary)

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort: www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

The previous luddite tribunal was a blast. Come out!

READY TO RUN THROUGH A WALL

GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD

Dispatch from one of the @hellgatenyc.com parties: so many people here I might die. Seems like a good omen

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

Slam dunk platform would be to campaign on banning this junk

I’d love to be more specific about why working in the tech industry during this AI bubble is driving me crazy, but dissent isn’t exactly safe these days. Anyway, I blogged. www.aaron.mn/ideology-1-1

Not to be cringe but it’s nice outside.

Shout out to everyone who scolded me for even suggesting I wasn’t thrilled to vote for Biden or Harris. This race should be the easiest layup in history.

I talk to developers every day and it’s not exactly a secret that AI is as inaccurate with programming as it is with anything else. I’m begging journalists to talk to workers instead of the lowlifes evangelizing this junk.

I've spent an upwards of 75,000 hours task managing in Jira in my career, which has made me incredibly efficient.

ai is a fascist tool. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

You have agency! All you have to do is see that you’re being harassed, experience the harassment, and request that it be removed! Hopefully nobody saw it or saved it before that! It’s fine, actually!

What’s Sora supposed to be for, even? ChatGPT being a plain-language search engine makes conceptual sense, at least. Sora is an endless feed of zero-value misinformation, IP theft, and harassment-fodder. I feel insane!

Everyone's focusing on copyright, but I wish there were more conversation about how vapid Sora is. It's the lifeless conclusion of tech companies pounding our brains to pudding. Evil, evil, evil software in the most literal sense.

I’ve been dying for them to finally replace the shambling zombie website I designed in like, 2018 because seeing it today feels like slamming a finger in a car door

That’s my champ.

This isn’t real, but if you take them at face value (lol) you’re still vulnerable to being deepfaked if you’re not famous enough or whatever. Patently evil technology from a rotted industry. This can’t be over soon enough.

I’m available if anyone wants to hear about cancers, heart attacks, and car accidents beset upon elderly Minnesotans – thanks Mom

Real tired of being grifted and lied to 24/7, imo

This is a privileged problem, but it's so, so difficult to feign any enthusiasm about working in the tech industry when something like this is dropping on a near-daily basis. www.404media.co/instagram-ac...

These guys are living my absolute dream life

This is the funniest thing I've ever read in my life.

Sorry I didn’t respond, I needed to drop everything I was doing and Google what Jamiroquai has been up to lately

Love buying granola and getting all of this dust for free

This argument is so dishonest because simulating conversation is low on the list of reasons Duolingo has declined in quality over the last year. Lessons are becoming nonsensical and the app is overrun with annoying upsells even though I pay for the non-AI tier and repeatedly decline to “upgrade.”

It’s so funny that Empire State of Mind has a permanent stain thanks to Eric Adams.

Sometimes you stumble across a bot that you know will change your life

I’ve completed my first 10-week in-person French class and am proud to say I’ve grown from someone who doesn’t understand shit to someone who doesn’t understand shit and also has 400 fewer dollars.

Just learned how to say "lonely" in French and my brain straight up flew out of my head.

I really don’t think there’s anything off-limits. If you don’t work in tech, you don’t know how ceaseless the AI evangelism is. We’re repeatedly told it’s equivalent to real writing and we’re backwards resisting it. People are being brainwashed into thinking this is simply the next word processor.

Please enjoy one of the sickest pieces of pixel art I've ever seen: "Amiga Lagoon" by Jim Sachs (~1993)

For all of the effort I've made to intellectualize my opposition to AI-mania running wild in tech, I only ever tend to win people over by linking to shit like this. Like, really? This is the world you want? www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Heard “OHH! YEAH!” so I looked over and @doomquasar.bsky.social was posting on the Columbo subreddit?

Getting a little whiff of gas when a fucked up car drives by 😍😍😍

Brian has been doing such important work. Each one of these stories is so familiar. AI is suffocating the industry – so much so that I’m aggressively saving every cent I can knowing that I have a year or two left before my resistance pushes me out of tech entirely.

No! No!!

The radical left wing lunatic who wants to uh, make rent and bus fares cheaper

I think LLMs are destroying the very fabric of what it means to learn and imagine, and even I can admit that Google has gotten so fucking unusable that it’s no wonder people use the clean, ad-free chat bot as a search engine replacement

If a nuclear weapon is dropped directly onto my apartment tonight, pleased know that I died doing what I loved – flipping through irregular verb conjugation notecards

Making a Winamp reference to a room full of 24-year-olds goes over about as well as you’d expect

On the bright side people in this Clinton Hill bar audibly booed the weirdly racist @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social attack ad that scared shitheads paid to run during the NBA finals

I started taking an in-person French class and I’ve never felt more oafish. I have the brain of a toddler.
