I think humans are meant to lie in bed with the love of their life all winter.

All “Free Speech“ centric websites optimize for specific interpretations of civility and violence.

Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

Oh my GOD

I'm begging for atheists to add an ounce of dialectical materialism to their politics.

I cannot think of *one* "here to stay" argument that survives the VCs running out of money to set on fire for chatbots in 1.5-2 years at most. Then the API prices 10x. I have a list, and all the "here to stay" arguments fall to it: pivot-to-ai.com/2025/07/10/a...

It's been pointed out that this paragraph about the FDA issuing warnings to binder manus is now missing from The Seattle Times article from which I took this screenshot this morning; the FDA website DOES have its warning letter to TomboyX publicly viewable, however. www.fda.gov/inspections-...

Come to me my darlings. Give me your replies. Shout at me and call me a Russian bot. Say in a MAGAt. I feed off your hatred and before you know it your soul is mine in HELL!!!

In the new year you're going to watch Netflix constantly debase itself to secure regulatory approval for its merger with Warner Brothers. This is just the start:

Honestly, the spike in anti queer rhetoric and legislation after having a short lived breather is just a reminder we need to be aggressively and unapologetically queer and loud about it. Make more queer art. Write more queer stories. Make more queer friends. Engage more with queer communities

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google. My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence! go.bsky.app/8cn1XfT

Excuse me, I forgot that “working class” means “white and male” and that “class politics” means “affirming racism and sexism.”

It’s almost like efficiency isn’t the point and it’s just a vicious bid for undue control

Amazon is talking about investing $10bn in OpenAI so that OpenAI can then hand some of that back as part of its $38bn cloud compute deal using trainium chips. This should get OpenAI to what, March? Utterly stupid and investors should actively punish Amazon www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...

If you're at Google Cloud, AWS or Azure, I always want to hear from you! I love learning stuff about the wonderful world of cloud computing, especially when it comes to what stuff is being paid for and what stuff costs to run, as well as how many GPUs a service has. So many questions!

Tankies would rather party rock than go to therapy

Can't believe we have to say this, but tampons aren't contraband. And yet in NY state prisons, body scanners (that COs demanded) are picking up menstrual products, leaving people barred from visiting with their incarcerated loved ones.

Phew... back on the big workstation. Going back to a 49" from a 16" laptop, everything looks... big. So I tried to adjust the scale to make it less jarring. Of course, Windows says "fuck you." Also, Word apparently disables autosave if you turn off the cloud and AI bullshit now. Cute!

Oh, to be loved as something that changes. To take endearment for granted while shifting forms. Not nostalgia for an idea of what was, but a loving care for a changing being. Wouldn't that be a wonder?

props to all the skeeters out there with a million creative and community projects but also try to be a good partner and friend and also keep your head together in personal development without fracturing into a million external selves

This is really a huge part of why upper management is so in on AI. They think it will let them manage computers the way they currently manage the people who make the computer work. It will not.

Mozilla is using Google's proprietary LLM Gemini to overwrite Volunteer translations. That's not only a great way to destroy goodwill but also to poison your community. What are you doing @mozilla.org and why is it always some "AI" shit?

this will be strictly worse than standard sketches because the realism will give a false sense of confidence but it is worth nothing that standard sketches are also very bad and extremely bias-reinforcing because they pull the likeness towards average and away from individual identifiability
