I'm not sure it's common knowledge but there are literally thousands and thousands of people employed in India working 9-5 to train LLMs to be "smart" and "safe". Tech bros laud it as a technological achievement but it's the same old story - just another way of hiding the real labor of people.

I need to mention something that happened yesterday. I had a negative review of my game & an irate player in my Discord, talking about bugs they claimed were longstanding, mentioned all over Steam and Reddit, and never fixed. After some probing they admitted they had been asking ChatGPT for hints.

After seeing the security issues at #TwitchCon this year and now seeing people posting that they are asking people wearing Kn95 and other medical masks to "see their faces" while people are posting getting in without even paying for a badge. I'm gonna be permanently crossing that con off my list.

at the last #NoKings rallies, attendees were handcuffed for wearing respirators. the act of mitigating harm to your &your communities bodies by wearing a facial filter is a noble one + it's a helluva lot harder to arrest a whole sea of masked faces, bc it becomes normal. embody solidarity—mask up.

"Look, I'm one of a handful of people that don't take corporate PAC money." "What about AIPAC money? You take AIPAC money, don't you?" "A minuscule percentage of my resources come from..." "I read it's like $800,000...."

All women, children, and men over 50 were released under previous ceasefire agreements. It's important to make a record of all the pro-Israel propagandists spreading this lie and getting millions of views. Academics need to publish studies on how Zionist propaganda fell apart in the 21st century.

An, uh, unfortunate header on the page for this announcement fenwayhealth.org/press/ (I got care here during grad school, and used to volunteer on their queer crisis line)

They've got contract openings for senior combat and level design - REMOTE! Unfortunately I definitely don't rate senior for either discipline, but my inadequacy could be your triumph.

Cuz sharing is caring and resource secrecy is for dweebs: For the past week, I've been starting my mornings by doing a lesson from this ridiculously comprehensive Godot Action RPG tutorial. It's amazing. Dude basically teaches you how to make Legend of Zelda: LTTP. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Surprisingly, I'm in a second Humble Bundle! I contributed a short story reframing Hamlet as a noir film to BY NO MEANS VULGAR, and I might have a wrestling crime story in one of the Fate Codex Anthologies? A lot of great games in here, so check it out! www.humblebundle.com/books/magpie...

Nothing puts me off more from someone's video or stream like hearing them say "during covid". The past tense is wild and violent. Covid is now, it never went away. People are still becoming disabled & dying at alarming rates.

literally a yakuza sidequest

people are going to post AI slop...sometimes they just do not realize it at the time and have the good graces to delete it but if they are told and keep posting it your safest action is just to block them because they will continue to spread it

Trying to focus on some positives, got to go to a great concert at The Fox Theatre in Oakland this week with a friend to see Durand Jones. Awesome music and great vibes.

engaging in self-care (closing an article about bari weiss without reading it)

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

What in the facists hell is this account!?

me when I hear anyone refer to a generative AI image as "art"

A pretty good example of how our country can not be saved by Zionist democrats.

GenAI is so 💩🗑 wtf is this!!? Gross. Have reported it several times already.

This absolute vile man got to stand in the UN and hold up this ridiculous ass sign in between his vacations to visit US lawmakers in DC. Shameful and immoral to allow him to speak and partake in politics of any kind right now. #FreePalestine

hit a snag did it and everything a 30 year film studio with 400 movies owns, or even Disney from a century of buying every competitor, simply isn't enough to train an AI model? curious. hey can everyone else use their stuff for free, seeing as for them to do this AI they have to use everyone else's

so much of what this administration is doing is based on creating the perception that he is inevitable and unstoppable and it’s not true and he can lose and it’s important that people see that because the only way he does win is if everyone gives up

That Charlie Kirk memorial event was hands down some of the scariest shit I've seen in a long time.

Welcome to the future www.404media.co/ai-generated...

Hopefully the show floor isn't over run with Ai companies unaware that we all hate them, I also hate SF

I love how quickly Disney/Hulu has removed the customer-fill-in "other" option for their canceled subscription outro survey

On today's stream, we're joined by @morgansung.bsky.social of KQED's Close All Tabs podcast to talk shootings as shitposts and censorship of media following Charlie Kirk's death. Then @papapishu.bsky.social is going to give us his appraisal of Silksong. Live at 4 PM ET www.twitch.tv/aftermathdot...

The depths of the deepest pit of whatever hell may exist in the universe is not deep enough for these evil asshats

Tell the truth and shame the devil.

one thing that gives me comfort is that i believe, with my whole heart, that none of the architects of our current hardships have ever had or been a good lay

Charlie Kirk was a racist. His death is being used to help establish more dictatorship in this country and distract from the other horrible illegal 💩 being done by the current admin. But don't worry, everybody, Netanyahu, the war criminal is coming to Congress again for photo ops and snacks.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

The three types of game dev job listings

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😭

Members of Congress attended a paid vacation with a war criminal in a foreign country while said criminal is leading a genocide funded by the U.S. government. They took a group photo. Got wined and dined. Not to mention all his visits here. Democrat. Republican. It's hard to see a difference anymore
