Imagine what the political, cultural & financial fallout would be if a videogame did anything close to a fraction of this?

. . . oh.

It’s getting to the point where if a tv show ends satisfyingly, I almost don’t want to like it, because the internet doesn’t deserve it.

You see a lot of BlueSky users yelling at others for buying, say, Amazon Basics, but nothing about them weaning themselves off of entertainment corposlop. Weird huh

I'm not the first to note this but AI psychosis just seems to be "experience what it's like to have yes men" and shows what has happened to any billionaire who has any kind of public profile

Humberstone is being humble. Not reading “too much” into anything — this is a lovely, thought-provoking piece on the 28 Years films that would make Dr. Kelson proud.

Doug Ford is ramming through the anti-FOIA bill. If you live in Ontario, you really need to contact the Lieutenant Governor and ask her to withhold Royal Assent for it to pass. Email, call, flood the lines. Help stop this anti-democratic bill. lgontario.ca/en/connect/c...

I’m sorry, WHAT?

Fans would have lost their shit, but Revenge of the Sith should have never shown the descent of Anakin Skywalker. This would have kept the plot twist of Empire intact, allowing people to watch starting with Phantom Menace, and still be surprised. Check this out 🧵

It’s cool how people who grievously wronged you can threaten to effectively destroy your life for publicly speaking out about it as long as they have money to exert legal pressure and you don’t

Oh my God. They put fart jokes into ANIMAL FARM and gave it a happy ending.

@himymcraig.bsky.social catching up on episodes and I’m listening to Arrivederci, Fiero. This idea of physical things you hold on to that ground you to your identity is such an interesting one. For me the song that encapsulates that feeling is Gold Rush by Death Cab — ever heard it? Beautiful.

Periodic reminder that if you rewatch The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions you are 83% likely to say “wow those are way better than I remembered” afterwards.

Here's an old drawing of Sonic and Dr. Robotnik that I did www.patreon.com/posts/146259...

There are subreddit after subreddit full of people posting screenshots "evidence" that AI is becoming sentient, and none of them -- for even a second -- are considering that "I am alive" might be the most statistically likely thing a human might want from a prompt.

I cannot even begin to tell you. How fast you will move to the top of my ballot. If you publicly antagonize AI.

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.

"High-speed rail in the US is unrealistic"

He seems to be serious about the scholarship of it, but constant warnings of the existential dangers of AI are a *selling point* of the industry. It's part of the hype. It's why you hear the tech bros spouting it, because we have to give them more money so they can do it right and keep us safe.

the words that make up the title THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU are unpleasant and the order in which those words appear is upsetting

do you think the bsky devs feel any sort of way about their website crashing way more often after they started bragging about vibe coding or do they not care about anything

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Oh: A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience, especially from anyone whose voice resembled the default-female electronic voices.

The reason that there are so many dad games is that some men had careers long enough that they both 1) gained the political capital to pitch and then execute a project with those themes 2) were able to sustain a career long enough that it was viable for them to parent while still work* in games.

If it looks like a concentration camp and sounds like a concentration camp,

that’s clearly a dragon

hey, what the fuck?!

It is profoundly unjust that we have to live this way. It doesn’t make any fucking sense and it’s driving me insane

They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖

Would love to know how the Liberals that want to ban teenagers from using social media feel about Mark Carney calling for AI in the classroom? “AI in education can meet every child where they are”

A couple weeks ago, Nicholas Keung at the Toronto Star reported on how generative AI is being used to assess immigration applications in Canada...and how it's led to refusals because of stuff the AI tool added in, that humans (clearly) failed to check. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

He told ChatGPT he was a nazі іncel who wanted to dіe, then asked how many people you’d have to shoot at his school to get on the news. ChatGPT helped him pick his ammo, pick his target, pick the best time for the massacre, and then told him how to use the gun. Then he did. youtu.be/IbG-JGdGniY

I think a lot of Starfleet Academy was good, actually. They clearly are listening to feedback, but not in the place that matters most. Kurtzman, if you're listening -- we do not want anymore of this type of villain.

I want to see more people comparing AI to letmegooglethat.com. The process by which AI comes to it's "impressive" results is esssentially the same. It's just a data runner -- going out, finding the information you want, skipping ads, and collating the most accepted answers.

@dotemu.bsky.social Are you guys aware of the worlds collide co-op "connection was lost" problem? Been playing absolum with a pal for months and suddenly we can't join each other's games. Net code problem in latest update?

My “I’ve never been friends with Epstein, have U?” overcoat is raising a lot of questions already answered by my coat

For me, ADHD has *absolutely* been a learning disability. Me watching a tutorial: "Okay, I am paying attention. I will learn this skill. I am doing such a good job paying attention. Look the youtuber in the eyes, kenz, he's talking to you. Keep paying attention. Wait, what is he talking about?"

‘Just one example of how quickly AI is changing our lives’ “Analysis Finds That Google’s AI Overviews Are Providing Misinformation at a Scale Possibly Unprecedented in the History of Human Civilization”

This is a garbage read because "When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020"? No such thing happened, you fell for an op. You quickly and readily believed conspiratorial nonsense because it was about people you already hated, and you still believe nonsense so you learned nothing from this.

what being alive currently feels like

Is anyone else tired that this unhinged man has completely dominated our lives for a decade?

Check out this new webtoon!

Donald Trump is an unhinged warmonger and war criminal using violence for personal gain and profit, while innocent people pay the price.   Congress must reconvene to pass the War Powers Resolution. The 25th Amendment must also be invoked. Congress has to do our damn job. War powers and Impeachment.

something strange and horrible and somehow fitting that we should have a very real threat of madman civilizational destruction at the very moment when we also have humans on the dark side of the moon taking pictures that show how small, precious, and beautiful our world and existence is
