Today’s free newsletter is about how LLMs are the perfect grift to exploit an economy dominated by do-nothing managers and executives disconnected from any real work, and how the facade is crumbling as companies pay the true cost of AI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-revenge-of-the-business-idiot/

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”-- Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.

Not only does it steal jobs, not only does it plagiarize, not only does it destroy the environment, not only does it teach people to be dumber, it also doesn't actually reliably do anything humans aren't already capable of. Every day I get more angry at the state of everything.

Any time a creative turns to this tech, they are saying "I do not respect the people who do this thing. I do not value their creative contribution to my vision. I think they are so worthless, they can be replaced by the machine that ate their work." It's not surprising this is seen as hostile.

I know that combating aggressively fascist anti-trans legislation is the world’s most exhausting and dispiriting game of whack-a-mole, but goddamnit, we need to keep bringing down the proverbial rubber mallet on these fascist moles for the mole-less better world that’s coming.

🚨Bad news. A THIRD National book banning bill has passed committee in the house.🚨 Meet the CHARLIE act that will prohibit the teaching of what they call: equity ideology (not white supremacist jingoistic history) More from @authorsabb.bsky.social when we have it. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Billionaires spending massive amounts of money over a small portion of the population because they need the public mad at something and it's us, trans people. Disgusting morals of the ultra rich to keep people distracted and angry.

It is always the wealthy. It has always been the wealthy.

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.

HR 2616, text below, just passed today in the House. Now it's time to call your Senators & tell them to vote NO ON HR 2616/S 2251 (and the very similar bills: HR 2617 & HR 7661 which aim to ban all trans books from every public school in the country!) www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

Hear me out: if we burn enough yachts, all the CEOs will go broke trying to replace them and then there will be no more CEOs and thus no more ads.

CA’s transparency bill AB-412 (which forces GenAi companies to disclose if their datasets are using YOUR copyrighted works) is in a slow march to become a bill. Also due to massive tech opposition, they make us all work for it every step of the way. Don’t let em win, sign the petition below asap!👇

Reminder that all these price increases are not caused simply by video game makers greed, it's AI pushing the prices of hardware. So if you want prices to go low, complaining to Valve/Sony/Nintendo is useless. Stop using AI instead! Tell your friends to stop using that shit! Let the bubble burst!

Ah, I see we are starting the day off with porn discourse. Well fine, here's my two cents Porn has never been the issue, our society being deeply racist and misogynistic is the problem. Banning porn isnt going to eliminate bigotry

The Marketplace of Ideas people immediately forcefully shut down all dissent, bought all media, sued & fired all critics & arrested & caged journalists reporting on their heinousness as soon as they got control & all of this was entirely predictable & people who warned of it were called overreactors

Here it is with alt-text Didn't mean to post without

When spoken, BF and GF should be pronounced “buff” and “guff.” - “What did you do this weekend?” - “I went on a date with my buff.”

They think that, because that person is contactable (even if it's one way, They can demand, berate and otherwise piss and shit themselves about thing not being tailored SPECIFICALLY to them. It's easier to bully a face than the blank wall of AAA/high budget productions. Fucking sucks, dude.

There is something that genuinely breaks in people's brains when an indie creator does something that they didn't head canon prior to it happening, and I think it's because indies are in arm's reach. You even see it with AAA devs that are ever public about where they work.

if you want independent media to be made and produced, don't treat the people behind it like shit. Indie devs, indie animators, people who work on passion projects like this do it for the love of the game. your relationship to it needs to fucking adjust

It's World Goth Day, let's see your gothic art. 🐦‍⬛

When spoken, BF and GF should be pronounced “buff” and “guff.” - “What did you do this weekend?” - “I went on a date with my buff.”

The best Batman film is obviously The Batman vs. Dracula. Does The Batman feature the Caped Crusader fighting vampires? No, it does not. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is a close second. Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker firmly holds the bronze medal. Batman Ninja is fourth purely for the whimsy.

...i dunno have we tried telling people there's copper wiring in the data centers?

i have been working with Michael DeAnda on a anthology of games that activate myth! There is a total of 9 ttrpgs to engage with, each from a diverse background. please help support our campaign and get our feet off the ground! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #ttrpg #gamedev

"Playboy has more nuanced and better researched articles on trans issues than the New York Times" is not something I ever thought I'd say, much less say unironically

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

How about that Absolute Green Arrow #1, y’all? What a hook.
