happy pride to the ancient asexuals

Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

LRT: first requirement for things to be good: no AI involvement, JORGE.

"let people enjoy things" is over. we must want things to be good

Lying is bad unless you do it via AI. False advertising is bad unless you do it via AI. Plagiarism is bad unless you do it via AI. Losing billions of dollars for no good reason is bad unless you do it via AI. Robbing cities of water is bad unless you do it via AI. You’re just embracing the future.

one of the worst terms ever coined was 'culture wars'. it just means powerful bigots attacking minorities.

man, it's always fun to see people who try to rope people into drama by going "have you read these receipts" when they themselves literally don't know how to read

Three.

I think its because it sucks now

And there’s the impetus to finally use a different search engine. Google’s been steadily getting worse at the one job it should be doing, and this all sounds deeply vile. Fuck this pathetic, desperate railroading of alleged AI.

trans people deserve to live, freely and openly and safely and unconditionally

The weird thing about American politics is that America just hates black people. That’s more important than oil, more important than guns, more important than healthcare, more important than Jesus

Yeah why not. Slightly increase some bands Above the Buried and Me The Grandchildren They Definitely Are Giants The Pineapple Cartel Bigger Big Train ...Jyuken? ...Holiphia?

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

"...and we have become exceedingly efficient at it."

Stephanie Sterling concludes Richard Dawkins is both stupid and creepy, even if he doesn’t know it.

Ran into some people on Reddit who are angry at games for making these statements. Please repost this to make them angrier

8 years ago I made this NES game called Lizard. I never know how to describe it... a quiet game of exploration, with a little bit of difficulty, a little bit of mystery. It was a kind of game I wanted to see more of, and I still look at it fondly. rainwarrior.ca/lizard/

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Today in bsky: a bunch of people who don't know opsec complaining that other people aren't breaking opsec. Considering the leadership of this site, even the mere suggestion of "X people should do something about the war" is bad opsec. Your nuclear blocks aren't nuclear enough.

Please keep the Iranian people in your hearts

Those Artemis II astronauts are missing the opportunity of a lifetime if they aren’t up there blasting Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’!!!

if Trump nukes Iran it will be because no one powerful in america has ever been seriously punished for anything

I'm not going to stop using the oxford comma or the em dash just because ThiefTaker2000.exe decided to do it

THEY TRAINED THE AI ON ACTUAL WRITERS. YOU CANNOT TELL IF SOMETHING IS AI SIMPLY BASED ON IT USING PROPER GRAMMAR. IT STOLE FROM US!!! IT STOLE!!! IT IS A THIEF AND I WILL NOT EVER BE QUIET ABOUT IT!!!!

Keep fighting it, everyone.

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

Remember: being mean to people who use Claude is already here. You cannot stop it. It is available to everyone with an online connection. You need to embrace it or you'll fall behind.

Regulate YouTube.

It’s as easy as shutting your effin mouth! And did I mention… it’s free?!

I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this. The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all! Games don't need VO to be good! By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!

"placeholder text" "concept art" either the temporary thing you put in matters to the process, in which case you need to get a human to work on it, or it doesn't, in which case you can just as easily put a bright pink rectangle that says PLACEHOLDER in and save everyone time and effort

Greta Thunberg went "we need to save the climate" then thought about it for a few years and went "climate change is caused by capitalism, and to fight climate change effectively you need to dismantle capitalism" and some people need to make the same mental journey she did

@white2tea.bsky.social stop sending me stickers, I don't have room left for them

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
