Jesus fucking Christ how the fuck do you look at everything going on, clasp hands with Republicans and gleefully try to make it worse? You all deserve a primary for Christmas.

This is how it will be for EVERYONE if KOSA passes

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them

You need to contact your representative and demand that Section 230 be protected, not repealed, NOW. www.congress.gov/members/find...

Section 230 serves no useful purpose? Except for the fact that it’s vital for free speech on the internet!

the new Divinity trailer was great, but it is wild what people will get upset about in games, content-wise, and then be completely fine/enthusiastic about Wicker Man x Event Horizon.

Hear. Feel. Think. Cope. Seethe. Mald.

I know there's a lot of other massive problems with "AI," but as a techie and a PC builder I am GODDAMNED FUCKING SICK of some stupid hype bubble designed to fleece investors and nothing else ruining my hobby. Your crypto shit took all the video cards. Your "AI" took GPUs *and* RAM. Fuck you all.

every single time a member of the e33 team comes onstage, remember that geoff only gave them two tickets and the team had to pay out of pocket from a public-facing ticket portal for everybody else lmfao

Every ad for AI is like Person: FUCK!! I don’t know what to get my loved one for Christmas!!!!!! I love them so much!!! Tell me what to do, AI!! AI: get sock Title Card: You are literally the smartest person for doing this

I live Silicon Valley adjacent so naturally these insane jobs are popping up and you do not hate tech bros enough

the official moenbryda urianger shipping keeps me going

RED ALERT The House Energy & Commerce committee is moving full steam ahead for several age verification bills including KOSA this Thursday We need to spread mass opposition now. We cannot allow this to pass. We have to drive mass calls into congress NOW Call 202-224-3121 www.badinternetbills.com

If you’re a “trust but verify” person here’s the proof that @warren.senate.gov just ignored opposition from LGBTQ and human rights groups and sided with the likes of “Morality in Media” to support the dangerous and misguided Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) Call her! www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

all i wanteth for cristmas is thee #ffxivart #ffxiv

thinking again about one of my favorite quotes of all time, from John Jackson Miller's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #50.

This month is the 16th anniversary of the origin story of Revan in my KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC #42, a comic book you wish you'd bought more copies of — and last weekend at Supanova in Australia, Cal James Johns debuted the first Revan Origin costume I've seen. Very cool! #starwars #kotor

If as a developer/publisher you want to buy into AI gen for development, alright -- but if the result of using it is just your game feeling like you took a bunch of really shitty shortcuts, it can only hurt you and clearly isn't the future you think it is

Jimmy Fallon would host the Hunger Games.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

What a totally normal and not-suspicious-at-all thing to do

why is it every time I see some crypto nft ai scam fuck on tv it's because they're talking to a dumbfounded jimmy fallon going "whoaa that's crazy"

so insanely fucking real for this

the idea that we will ever devise a technology that can automatically sort true statements from false ones and factual ones from “hallucinations” is a lead-to-gold fantasy

no idea

The way the sloppers pretend their organized theft is just as taxing as actual art is genuinely pathetic.

"art is inaccessible/artists are gatekeepers" is the biggest self report in the world that whoever is saying it is, at best, buying in to incredibly tedious learned helplessness or, more likely, is just a huge fucking loser.

i hate gen AI. i hate having to second guess everything i see online cause so frequently it's just AI. i hate that my coworker will show me a funny video at work and it's AI. i hate that my mom will send me a gift she thinks i'll like and she doesn't realize it's AI slop. i'm so so so so sick of it

I've also seen people say it's disingenuous because "there's already an ambient track playing in the desert!" I love to be generous, but it's just the sound of wind. And this studio has a great history of ambient tracks! I'd be bopping my head if we had this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNM8...

bringing back this classic

the original version of this post says "wonderful news for your penis" which is so load-bearingly crucial in my mind. it feels naked without it

That much money financing games by actual game developers would have financed 150+ of the highest budget AAA games, and the several orders of magnitude more jobs to produce them. Instead it was burned failing to produce advertiser-safe Second Life.

Light it up, let's go! 🔥 A new song by award-winning guitarist Tom Morello, featuring Beartooth, is making its way onto the Arcadion stage in #FFXIV! Here's a message from Tom and a preview of the upcoming track, Everything Burns!

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

There are lots of other ways to address the very real harms that kids experience online: ✅ Strict privacy laws that make it illegal to harvest data and use it to recommend content ✅ Antitrust laws so we have real choices for where to go online ✅ Regulate features like autoplay & infinite scroll

The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE. This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

Glad to see all the love for Paul Dano in the wake of Tarantino being a stupid fuck. If this has led you to crave more Dano, his role as the Caspian, one of the two MC's in Pantheon, one of the greatest animated shows ever and his performance is superb and wildly underappreciated. Hope on it.

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

here me out, Jase, I can be mad at both

Here's the important thing: mandatory online age verification is a major threat, but it's not a done deal. We saw major disagreement in Congress during the House hearing yesterday, and there is rising opposition to these misguided policies. We need to get louder. www.teenvogue.com/story/some-d...

🚨 EVERYONE PLEASE RESKEET THIS FOR VISIBILITY!!! 🚨 A big coalition of LGBTQ+, abortion access, and human rights groups led by @fightforthefuture.org are organizing a WEEK OF ACTION this week against online ID checks, aka "age verification" laws. Join us: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/stop...

Before you twirl open this post, don’t harass this guy, but let’s play a fun little game. Guess what Overwhelmingly Positive, award-winning title they’re responding to, you’re not going to guess it. It’s going to be really funny.

Your response matters. I guarantee you there is a whole department of people at Prime Video who is quietly celebrating today. Keep up the good fight, everyone.

Yes, flood CR's feedback line too with requests to - stop using AI to closed caption dubs - keep their current subtitling software (Aegisub. Not the one they are switching to) Please!

I'd love for more complaints towards crunchy roll, who has been doing this to its subtitles too I watched Wolf's Rain with friends, and the AI garbage that was used to make the subtitles made them horribly distracting and disrespectful with how wrong they were. Get this AI slop out of here!

Please tag me if you see any anime that appears to plainly be using AI transcriptions for closed captions. That's CLOSED CAPTIONS (SDH) for ENGLISH DUBS, not subtitles for Japanese audio. I wanna publicly keep track of some of these and start holding platforms accountable.

Allegedly Shudder is dubbing foreign films into English with AI as well. Don’t have an account to check, just a post on the Reddit.
