Without revealing your actual age, what's an oath you've broken that rendered you temporarily mortal?

and if you are under the impression that ai can be useful for your own job, that's a sure sign that you don't understand it and aren't really doing it yourself

the characters in this television show have zero motivation. they never mention skub at all. it's like the writers don't know what they're fucking doing

Attachment issues

Many cyberpunk stories make mention of an 'older internet' that has been quarantined for a variety of reasons, either as a background detail or because characters spend some time exploring risky virtual spaces that are full of lingering dangerous ghosts, monsters and poison. 12/

The longer generative AI exists, the more of what we take for granted is going to become toxic cognito-hazard waste. We are living in the era of contamination. It is happening all around us, and the people doing it have names and addresses. 13/13

computers simply make things faster, which can be good or bad depending on what they are used for [opens a single history book] ah,

Todo lo que es generado con "Inteligencia Artificial" es la nueva propaganda y estética del fascismo y no hay y nunca hubo manera de reivindicarlo. No hay reapropiación simbólica del producto de un centro de datos que contamina y mata a todo a su alrededor.

my advice for having a good bluesky experience: - make enemies immediately - start shit in public but act morally superior for it - get mad when you see people acting weird and make it their problem - barge into other people's replies to scold their friends for cussing - post pictures of weapons
