tech companies continually learning people don't want these things

Saw someone say that Pluribus' plot is so implausible that it's not worth exploring. I've been stun locked by that tweet for hours. What an insane way to view media. What a wild critique. Genuinely dumbfounded. Lol

- it's ✨workspace smart features✨ you need to turn off so it doesn't fuck up your inbox folders and other actually useful features - don't use AI to write your emails - don't follow advice from strangers on the internet without checking their sources/expertise first www.zdnet.com/article/how-...

Smut artists and sex workers are crushed underfoot while AI gets a green light to steal your yearbook photo to make hard-core porn with the caption "AI GIRLS NEVER SAY NO"

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation. “It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said. www.propublica.org/article/andr...

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

The 17th November symbolically marks the fall of the Greek military junta of 1967. Each year the deeply fascist Greek state trots out the same boring, fascism apologia, denying the many dead and wounded and arguing about whether this brought on the end of the junta or not. Nazis fuck off.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

INBOX: In a detailed LinkedIn post, investigative reporter @mackoxenden.bsky.social accuses Suncoast Searchlight, a nonprofit news outlet based in SW Florida, of firing her in retaliation for raising concerns about her executive editor's use of AI, leading to the insertion of hallucinated quotes.

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

It cannot be remembered enough that these were the same people who got worked up about drag brunches

What bullshit is this!?

Everyone must understand that the Republican Party has absolutely nothing to offer Americans. No policy to enrich our lives, no healthcare, no economic, no social, no security policies to help move our country forward. Therefore all they can do is complain and tell lies.

0.4% FOUR-TENTHS OF A FUCKING PERCENT Shut up, cunt.

After over 500 hearings, lawyer Douglas Jennings quit representing clients before the South Carolina Parole Board, citing the board's consistent rejections. "I just couldn’t justify taking somebody’s money," he told Bolts last year.

Do Not Cross Picket Lines

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Karoline Leavitt is what you get if you give an underage girl to a rich religious guy so he can groom her.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

BOMBSHELL update on Epstein files: Oversight Dems received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate between Trump & Maxwell and Trump & Michael Wolff.

Evidence Piece Number 4,916 that Donald Trump is a pedophile, and that the Republican Party has gone out of their way to protect a pedophile, and should be asked “Why do you protect this pedophile?” at every opportunity

If you see this, post your bird art!

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

"The problem (AI) is solving is that greedy people want their money. That's the problem. The CEOs are like 'What if we could get drawings without paying an artist? ...scripts without paying a writer? ...music without paying a musician?' It's solving a problem for like 8 people."

This is pretty damn true, removing the ridged gender expectations on men would free them of so much grief and loneliness. The far right exploits this, making men feel under pressure to perform as to radicalise them.

Here’s how a 50-year mortgage would work

I'm just gonna say it: The number of people on my timeline who trash AI daily yet can't stop shilling Arc Raiders at every possible opportunity is baffling.

CICERO, IL — Trump’s ICE goons pepper spray into a family’s car and hits a 1 year old baby girl.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

The bumper says 'rugged working man'. But the cargo bed says ‘cosplay builder with soft hands’. Time to ban these fragile-man-mobiles from our cities.

So... can we get our federal taxes prorated for the large portion of the year we didn't receive any service? Also, how do we start a campaign to reduce the salaries of Congress? They certainly aren't benefiting us in any way and I don't think they deserve our tax dollars.

Be prepared today for the Sunday network political shows — with the usual cast of suspects to be rounded up as fascist talking heads to defend the indefensible — the regime going to court to starve children, the elderly and disabled by withholding SNAP benefits. Never normalize fascism folks.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

Hey, friendly reminder that Scott Cawthon's donations to the GOP literally contributed to SNAP suspension and you shouldn't buy or stream Five Nights at Freddy's anything.

it is SO thin-skinned that they auto-hid "rude" posts then labeled almost every cheney post rude
