Best railcar graffiti I've ever seen

Free newsletter: The AI industry is lying to you about progress. Only 5GW of data centers are under construction, it takes 6 months to bring online a single quarter's worth of NVIDIA GPU sales, and LLM code is actively breaking big tech. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-industry-is-lying-to-you/

Seaman Gummy Worms (1999-2000): Sour gummy worms that came in a novelty contained shaped like a can of tuna, featuring the likeness of Seaman, from the eponymous Dreamcast game. When you opened it, it would say, “I’m Seaman. You can’t send me back if that’s what you’re thinking.”

Stay the moon Never give up moon Moon today, moon tomorrow

Oh look I was right. Oh well, just $1 billion that never gets wired to anybody after an endless media hype cycle about the death of hollywood. Pobody's Nerfect! I'm sure everybody who wrote scary stories about Sora 2 destroying Hollywood will apologize www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

- Pace yourself - don’t go too crazy - no fedposting - stay on top of regulating your nervous system - act local - find people who’ve been doing the work and ask how you can help - tend to the myriad biological needs we need as confused little apes - give grace to dysregulated people on your side

This is a fact Thr cognitive inflammation and trauma is damaging and can eventually make cause CPTSD Gotts tkwe care of yourself and do things that help you maintain who you are Whatever that is

Folks, this is yet another banger from Ed Zutron that cuts to the quick of the problems LLMs create and how they are beinf used to quickly destroy the landscape of software Which I will add, this same shit is happening to social media, scholarly papers and news outlets simultaneously

This is how my experience with Fortnite recently ended as the escalation in cheating and time investment became a problem that vastly outweighed the joy of sometimes sort've driving Doc Brown's Delorean, or snagging a win as Necromancer Bob Belcher youtube.com/shorts/crMCX...

God i fucking hate Adobe. I didn't like them before but this company is genuinely evil, it should've been broken up decades ago, the Macromedia sale should have been stopped, every single piece should be ripped apart. They've caused harm to creatives comparable to OpenAI. Horrible shitheads

Extremely funny that he is now stuck with a company named after his greatest, most expensive failure; let the name Meta be a reminder to all that since making collegiate hot-or-not 20 years ago, Zuck has never created a successful original product he didn't buy up from smarter people (and then ruin)

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

The time between reading this and launching Steam is the fastest I have ever purchased a game.

Improv people: do not take this fucking gig.

Never fund DHS again. Abolish it completely. If someone wants to moan about "but but we have to ____" yeah fine we can discuss a new department, but *this* department has to go.

Brutal stuff. The hyperscalers are a death cult now. Meta has burned $100bn+ on nothing and human beings will suffer for it

Petraeus and former head of the CIA — whose greatest strategic victory was either marrying the daughter of a four-star general or avoiding jail time after leaking classified information to his mistress

Better article re: the #TargetBoycott "The company confirmed to USA Today that it’s making no new commitments or reversals on its DEI policy." and "Black women across the country are reminding people that they started the boycott — and they’ll decide when it ends."

As someone who went on the Internet for the first time in the early 90’s, I fucking loved the Internet. It has given so many things in life, and afforded me so many incredible experiences. And to see it, and technology in general where they are today is kinda soul crushing.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men." Just saying it right out loud now. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

Our rights aren't up to ICE agents to decide.

Pitch an unnecessary sequel Tales of Legend MUCKLEBONES (It only says "unnecessary" not that it can't be incredible and filled with practical effects)

For those keeping score at home: I informed Grammarly via email precisely what I thought of their appropriation of my name and reputation and received an email from their head of litigation promising a full response by the end of the week. To be continued...

SLOPPELGANGER

Finally watched Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein and, what a beautiful tragic and mostly gothic tale Lord Byron did and does not deserve to haunt her work The descendents of the masculine culture the book was critiquing embrace and internalize the rejection of their creators They do not love

Remember when Trump announced tariffs right when Nintendo was announcing the Switch 2, and the delayed preorders were one of the first big tangible consumer-facing effects of letting a known dipshit make up random rules about international trade? Well, if you fuck around with Nintendo...

9 cards The first two from before I ever understood how or what the game was and the art alone was incredible and transfixing for me #My9MTGCards

Don't rob these bastards of the ability to know what they did was wrong or having every opportunity to not attack or to actively defend this man's consitutionally protected right to protest. They're not subhuman, they're not incapable of knowing better. It's motivated and conscious action

Tough to keep it jovial in the current climate but I will continue to post robot bullshit and gaming memes for the sake of my sanity and yours. Up the greens, fuck the fascists, trans rights yeah? We stay strong, we stay together, we stay who the fuck we are 💪

Surprised by the amount of people who enjoyed me referencing War Thunder here, even though I forgot the name of it at the time

Over 10 hrs and zero Totally Tubular Secret Lair bundles are sold out That wouldn't be because there wasn't something hired sellers couldn't turn around for 400% per card, right? Four months of not selling out most of October's drop is somehow "good for business" This does not pass the sniff test

schools are never valid military targets, on or off base if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime. The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Appalling. One doctor “sent Mr. Epstein’s sexual partners elsewhere for gonorrhea treatment so that when their cases were reported to public health authorities, they wouldn’t be tied to Mr. Epstein. Some doctors also shared patients’ private health information with him”

Operation Murderous Tantrum

A lot of AI safety is a grift and the moment they have to do anything that requires Anthropic to actually handle a safety issue that exists in the here and now they relent. They don’t care. They never have. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-mythbuste...

They 100% trained them to do this and this was a deliberate choice to create this exact headline, which was absolutely necessary to write but also the intended result

I'm sorry. You cannot uncritically cite a survey about "A.i." use by a company that's pushing "A.i." use. Second, the phrasing throughout reflects pro-"A.i." misinfo. "Because generative AI can produce original content with minimal human input..." No. "A.i." CANNOT produce "original content."

This episode is a culmination of A LOT of things we've been talking about on the show (and before on Fanbyte shows) for years: - Xbox giving a name but never a shape to its strategy - Sony's total complacency leading to creative stagnation - Tencent's inability to bet on a winner before it's won

Deportations have to do with softly ethnically cleansing America to set the stage for a white nationalist governance. -Micheal Brooks, TMBS episode 5 Sept. 5, 2017

Clarifying and answering some of your questions about #grok doxxing me. Thank you @noelleperdue.bsky.social and @404media.co for reporting this story. Stay safe, my friends, and FUCK GROK 💚

I'm gonna repeat my comment. Talking about nonexistent "super intelligent" machines is like talking about the Cookie Monster rather than corporations creating real things causing harm. A non existent machine god bringing apocalypse or utopia is a framing that is harmful. Period.

What if the president was wrong and it's without a "W"?

On top of everything, a huge amount of this supposedly "inevitable" "A.i." revolution is just a dirty fucken scam.

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund. Quite a return on investment, huh?
