My biggest concern with AI currently is the seemingly inevitable outcome of cascading tiny failures. This is obviously wrong, but I'm TERRIFIED about the stuff that isn't.

Are you going to Anthrocon? Join me (and a few other ponies!) at 10pm on Friday, July 3rd! We're having a pony play 101 for the curious and for the committed. Should be in DLCC-403-405 unless that changes!

me: hey can I expense $10 to make a spreadsheet employer: Absolutely not me: hey can I spend $10 worth of company tokens to have ChatGPT make a shitty spreadsheet I will have to put even more work into to fix manually employer: yes 💖

I can't wait to have a separate security budget for tokens...

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

It's not the energy bills, water usage, noise pollution, toxic emissions, data privacy issues, backroom deals, or the middle class paying for tax incentives for billionaires. Chinese bribery of millions of Americans is the only logical explanation for why anyone would not want a datacenter nearby.

"the national park service, which appears to be taking its instruction from ufc," we gotta put so many people in jail

grabbing every small business owner I can find by the shoulders and yelling directly into their faces that IF I DON'T HAVE AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT I CAN'T SEE ANY OF YOUR SHIT GET A FUCKING WEBSITE

The computer lost the mandate of heaven when the humble, helpful "program" was replaced with the insidious "app"

I did a panel earlier this year on character development, and the idea of "earned subversion," where there an "earned" payoff to keeping a characters traits very consistent for a long time, for the purpose of getting to make jokes way later on in their arc. This is my favorite example of this 😭😭

Crocossant! 🥐🐊

i just think that if a police officer perjures themselves maybe they shouldn't ever occupy a position of trust you know?

“Trans visibility is important, but also trans people deserve to have fun.” Pride Month Repost: Come with us to a "Trans Takeover" at Austin's Barton Springs, a moment of queer and trans joy that came weeks after a violent attack ...

Every time I am obliged by my employer to take an AI course, I cannot get over how misanthropic the training materials are. If the conceit of AI is that using it is better than paying 1-* humans to collaborate on a task, then why should I interact with the AI in the form of a simulated conversation?

Much of modern politics is inventing a fake problem to counterbalance a real problem and then arguing that the fake problem needs more attention because it has been, up till now, sadly neglected.

Corruption enjoyers be like "I can unfix her"

A critical pushback we're going to need to develop further is not "did you use an algorithm to make this decision" but * "how can you prove that this machine does things correctly?" * "how does the machine get corrected when mistakes are detected so the same mistake isn't possible?"

I start my new gig tomorrow. I shouldn't be nervous, they asked me onto the team for a reason, and I've got strong enough fundamentals to feel like I can handle just about anything that gets thrown at me.... ...but I wish I had a better idea what I'm actually gonna be doing.... o.o;;;

🚨 METAPHOR ALERT 🚨

I wanna eat... tungsten cube...

I’m glad to see that so many other writers have been running into this exact problem, at least

Happy Pride to those who don't vibe with specific labels, but you know you're definitely not cis #tobi #art

They have options to make it hip and cool and appeal to a younger audience!

Maybe if Dirge of Cerberus did better we would've had a Final Fantasy game where Aerith dual wields pistols and skateboards her way out of the Lifestream

So much US cybersecurity rhetoric and policy these days - from the GOP AND from Democrats - is still predicated on the increasingly very false assumption that the average American is more concerned about The Chinese getting their data than they are about Elon Musk (and his techbro ilk) getting it.

People who are into weird and fucked up impossible fictional kinks online, no matter how grossed out you are by them, are less dangerous and harmful to other people than the average Republican or the average Joe Rogan listener.

still my magnum opus btw

It’s wild to go back and read the contemporaneous critiques of the Soviet gerontocracy and average age of a Politburo member was like 64.

oh my god. I see the vision. I see the Tezuka horse girls so clearly in my mind palace. I must draw this.

I have so many stories about when I've told someone: You can do "A" or "B", but do NOT do "C" that will cause a disaster... & then they proccede to do "C" & cause a disaster... which I then need to fix/clean up... & then redo "A" or "B" myself. I've spent so much time fixing other people's fuckups

Late Mother's Day piece based on the real story of a 17-year old lioness who survived five more years in her blindness, thanks to her two faithful daughters. As a daughter & a sister, this speaks to me on a rather personal level.

i think i'll start referring to everything that's shrunk while its price went up as republican-sized

ME: b-but Reverend Mother, we mustn’t, what if Shai Hulud hears the rhythm of our prayer and comes here and devours me?? MY DOMINATRIX: …I’m sorry can you explain all this again please

I think we could do with a little less "Don't worry, I'm allowed to make this art because I'm traumatized in these ways." and a lot more "Don't worry, I'm allowed to make this art because I'm allowed to make any art. And also, it's none of your fucking business whether or not I am traumatized."

A guy we know pitched a story to a mag about former skateboarders going back to their old haunt in middle age. My BIL(52)went with him as part of the story. BIL is now back home with a broken ankle and the writer is home with a broken vertebrae. The only possible way the story could have gone.

[phone unusable because of so many scam calls and texts, leaders from Chuck Schumer to Donald Trump hyping a UFO coverup] Why is this such a low trust society??

every one please vote for me to be the next james bond and if you are in line stay in line

President Donald Trump personally bought and sold millions of dollars worth of stock in technology companies and government contractors early this year, according to new government records first reported by @notus.com

I just got my acceptance for running Pony Play 101 and meetup at Anthrocon 2026. Come join us to find your herd! :D

I was at a concert tonight (Apocalyptica and the Hu :D) and one of the visualizers for a song was a montage of animals. A snow leopard came up. Someone behind be gasped and shouted "a snep!!!" Not sure if I found a furry or the term escaped containment =P

I categorically refuse to make slop slides. I don’t care if everybody else is doing it. I have too much pride in my work

I’m just a goose, sitting in front of a slide deck, asking for literally any stock photo or graphic that isn’t fucking slop
