A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.” 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-workslop-...

geez good thing we’re only using it for health insurance claims, legal arguments, mortgage rates, teaching students, predicting crime, mental health care, automating government services, fact checking, and pointing out other AI

my point is: you need to be an asshole against fascists weaponizing appeals to social niceties to crack down on “wrongthink” (which is btw extremely correct think) and you need to tell people arguing for decorum and civility to shut the fuck up.

and very important doodle i have no explanation for this it just exists

Facial and biometric recognition surveillance should be banned. Entirely and completely. Continuing to use technology that has, time and time again, surfaced its racist, ableist, and classist foundations is lethal for everyone.

i will never vote for gavin newsom under any circumstances

the humble hotdog evolved from the hotwolf, a culinary artifact we no longer dare confront

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Tempus do be fugitin tho

And to be clear, the results are the same as the latest several dozen times we did this over the last several decades. It's not a lack of knowledge but of political will.

"...the risk of being murdered underground is... orders of magnitude less than the risk of dying from a traffic accident elsewhere in the US. Cars are deadly, and any transportation policy that encourages their use over public transportation is pretty much by definition anti-safety."

He should be removed from the bench and disbarred, and the lawyer should be disbarred as well. Using AI-faked cases should be a one-strike deal. No second chances.

this mf’s vorpal blade just went snicker snack

we have commodified everything. games, movies, everything. its all formulas and tests and feedback. with its history and art design, marathon should have been a singleplayer shooter, or at least shipped with a singleplayer campaign. but those numbers wouldn't stack up the way executives want.

The subway is not scary. Literal children ride it millions of times every day. Fascists and bigots lie about it constantly and have for years because they’re trying to destroy NYC and our subway, and most things wrong with the subway can be traced to their attacks resulting in its underfunding.

For some unknown reason, I spent the evening creating a pixel Fraktur for mice. I don't why my brain picked up the command, but it was kinda meditative.

Is this a dagger which I see before me [Press R1 for LIGHT ATTACK], The handle toward my hand [Press R2 for HEAVY ATTACK]? Come, let me clutch thee [Hold R2 for CHARGE ATTACK]. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still [Press L1 + R2 for PHANTOM ATTACK (expends Ghost Power)].

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water. A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Your mom has ludonarrative dissonance

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

everyday we are reminded that the richest, dumbest, and most heartless motherfuckers dictate our livelihood.

so sick of capitalism ruining literally everything

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

And tomorrow is tax day...a great reminder that we are literally paying for this lawlessness and evil.

This is the only story any news outlets should be running on AI

It me. I’m sickos

Read this.

This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change.

Oppressors only allow ceasefires to occur when they don’t want to actually fully stop, because if they wanted to they would. This is why we must demand nothing less than an end to the siege, end to settler occupation, and a free Palestine forever.

The settler colonizers never stopped attacking Palestinians at any point during the ceasefire. Yesterday, however, they escalated their massacre to such an extent that the unilateral breach of the ceasefire is undeniable. Over 450 Palestinians have been killed overnight.

This reality has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit this perceptual subjectivity.

What we are witnessing on our campus marks a new chapter in the history of American fascism. That history is being written with the forced disappearance, arbitrary detention, and threatened deportation of pro-Palestine protesters. But it won’t stop with Mahmoud Khalil, and it won’t stop at Columbia.

If they can simply assert your activities are aligned with terrorism, and based on that assertion alone with no process they can disappear you, it’s over. We have to keep fighting in the courts, but the most important thing is to build with people in your own community to protect people.

the shit the trump admin is doing now is built on shit the biden admin and democratic politicians were doing in 2023-2025. the legislation they passed falsely conflating opposition to genocide as support for terrorism. the surveillance and police violence.

I’ve been so upset about the Mahmoud Khalil situation all day — it isn’t business as usual for the White House to instruct Ice to revoke the green card (!!) of a Columbia graduate for their political views. For me this’ll be the moment we tipped from authoritarianism light to authoritarianism heavy.

They should invent a daylight that doesn't need saving

The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil—a green card holder whose wife is eight months pregnant—is a blatant assault on the First Amendment and a sign of advancing authoritarianism under Trump. He must be released now.

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

Oh, a harbinger eh? Bet he’s here to bring some good news
