Seeing this a surprising amount, programmers who write or enjoy writing seem much more amenable to LLMs than those who are just focused on the technical Who know aesthetics was a valuable endeavor? :^)

I wonder if being so into creative writing in particular primed me to be more comfortable with AI creatively than most. I’m already used to describing my creations in natural language, AI is then just a bridge to other media

I'm just a nerdy autistic girl who likes tech, gaming, taking care of cute animals, and going to the gym But the way some people talk to me and about me makes it clear they see me as a proxy for billionaire tech moguls

weird to me that people would assume using AI means I don't use Photoshop. tbf, I am more of a Pixelmator Pro girlie these days. ironically, Pixelmator Pro has *fewer* built-in AI features than Photoshop!

A lot of people clearly hate AI because they’re culture war brainrotted and see it as right coded and search for any possible post hoc rationalization for their stance. Ironically, being anti-AI is very conservative. You are trying to uphold tradition and The Way Things Were.

At the izakaya with my wife. About to eat way too much karaage and ramen 😋

pro-ai people please post more, im scraping the firehose for ai-specific posts and i need more positive sentiment examples

“Why the hell do the back of my arms feel so sore?” she wonders to herself before remembering she went up 5 lb on tricep presses today

Ungoliant ass behavior

“Tech bro as a slur for neurodivergent women” strikes again

Automation saves lives

Goofy for people to try to say E33 is slop now. That game felt the most magical of any RPG I've played since the FF7-10 era. I cried so much from it. It had one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard. But oh no, they used AI placeholder assets during development!!!1 🙄

Keep working on being the best version of yourself. Keep working on making the world a brighter, more interesting place. Don't let the cynics stop you.

I should go back to sitting at my desk for a bit, but she looks so cozy

People of every political persuasion from fascists to communists have decided that something I'm interested in and think is neat is actually a Culture War battleground and it sucks.

Did my first proper run since my minor knee injury last week. Warmed up well. Felt good. Kept the brace on for now. Zero knee pain.

I’m just going to work at that game studio wearing a couple of hats full-time. Job search over. I am officially a full-time paid game dev, which feels pretty cool, and it’s seeming the best cultural fit I’ve ever had.

oh my

I wish the anti-AI crowd had the kind of energy they have about placeholder graphics in video games or whatever about stuff like how some companies just only have LLM chatbot support now and make it damn near possible to escalate your issue if needed

The billionaires aren’t sitting on the secret money that will fund socialism, folks. Their money is a signal of outsized social power, and the reason why we tax them out of existence to the extent possible, but we don’t have to do “middle-schooler ideas of public finance” to get there.

Saw some folks on Twitter trying to argue that using AI to make the FF7 Remake/Rebirth characters properly lip sync the audio track doesn't count as "gen AI" "Gen AI" increasingly just means "AI I don't like"

Elon is also kind of a particularly bad case in that a lot of his supposed wealth isn't even driven by strong business fundamentals at his company, it's his cult of personality He's like the Bored Ape of billionaires, more hype and speculation than substance

Deleted a post that was going viral and bringing an undesirable amount of attention from anonymous accounts. But, I'm going to be honest, the toxic folks here have won. So much of the usage of the site is about avoiding their attention. I'll just use this site to get book recs going forward

Billionaires should be taxed way more. Full stop. But the way people talk about billionaire wealth fundamentally misunderstands how it functions and the motivations behind it. Elon's wealth is very illiquid and used to maintain control and influence at his various companies.

the kind of boring and banal truth about AI tools is that they are basically like every other tool in that they work best to complement your existing areas of expertise, have limitations, and do require an investment of time to learn their capabilities and limitations.

automating your transit system is inherently good.

More evidence that decline of the thymus is responsible for the majority of immune system aging. By getting the liver to pick up the slack of the thymus, they reversed the aging of the immune system of mice. news.mit.edu/2025/new-stu...

the thing is: YOU don't have to be the one to figure out how to automate it for it to wind up automated and those who can facilitate automation will have a major leg up on those who cannot

i'm a sucker for the Big Iron drop in the new fallout

This is the dream right here. Everyone just running DeepSeek or whatever on their phones or laptops.

Found lip balm that actually works extremely well and doesn’t just mask the symptoms for a few hours Thank you, Korean beauty companies

Michael Cera Palin last night at the Masquerade!

Cher looks incredible for almost 80. Take good care of yourself and don’t get too extreme with the cosmetic procedures, I guess?

I guess we’re doing state-sanctioned piracy on the high seas again, lordy

Enjoyed seeing Michael Cera Palin, one of my favorite bands, tonight Love that they opened with Portrait of a Woman on a Couch With Cats, a song about a trans woman

people can't figure out how to use search engines or read subway maps to productive results

There’s definitely skill involved in crafting better prompts and having a good sense of how and when the AI can be helpful for your needs

There’s an opening band at this show called Smoke Detector, and this is all I can think

Game: manga/anime title or Midwest emo song title

the transformer model is not going to spontaneously uninvent itself. much consternation from this fact

I assumed I would hate clubs for like a decade after high school because I hated school dances so much

Saw Avatar 3.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

It's that time of year again when I eat way too many clementine oranges

Started taking 2g of creatine a few days ago and I think it’s making a difference? Serious weightlifters do more, but I don’t wanna bulk out, and this is also apparently enough to get the cognitive/focus benefits.

Leg dayyyy Gotta take this extra seriously now to build up the extra strength to hopefully prevent more mild knee injuries from doing long runs

Dancing at the club with a knee brace on because I pushed myself too hard running this week 😭

Strickland was pretty hardcore MAGA. It's telling that they've lost him.

This video of Adin is burned into my brain forever www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNIY...

The Epstein files release is a conspiracy by Big Printer to get people to buy black ink cartridges
