Indigenous communities (5% of the world pop.) are disproportionately exposed to fossil-fuel infrastructure. Its expansion has devastating health impacts, drives land theft, and tears communities apart. www.theguardian.com/environment/... 🧪 #COP30

again seriously, how can anyone look at people openly flying Nazi flags, tying minorities to telephone poles to torture them, trying to wipe out entire ethnicities, and bombing their own cities where those minorities are most concentrated, and call such people doing these things the victims

well i suppose the great thing about getting rid of everyone who's job it is to actually collect the numbers or track the data on anything is that you can just make up whatever "facts" you like and not have pesky things like reality so easily get in the way of it.

it's hard to believe anyone would still support the Ukraine at this point, but then there's people who still support MAGA & really no difference between them. i mean literally they operate under the same ideology of ethnic cleansing, rewriting history, & brutal suppression of all political dissent.

if you're going to tie Romani to light posts & torture them, try to wipe out entire ethnicities for 7+ years, continually bomb your own cities where they live, ban any political party opposed to ethnic cleansing, & prop up Nazi war criminals then you're not the victims. so don't support Ukraine.

what does Israel, Ukraine, and MAGA USA have in common? they're all openly fascist ethnostates actively engaged in acts of genocide.

Not exactly a video game, but every one of our voice actors signs an anti-AI rider provided by @navavoices.org. The rest of our creative team gets similar assurances we will never touch Regurgitation Technology. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Hello, not only do we not use AI we would rather cut off our own arms than do so. Demonschool is 100% human made.

there is really no excuse for supporting Ukraine at this point. unless you're MAGA since both Ukraine and MAGA America are openly fascist ethnostates.

“So you’re saying we should bully companies that use AI?” “Yes absolutely.”

prime targets are also companies that pretend at supporting artists or caring about social justice like #Threadless to try and get them to live up to what they pretend at, and companies with the most power and influence like #Microsoft and #Meta

look, if you want a mystical experience then go out to the crossroads or cemetery at midnight and contact the old gods. when they answer your mind will be blown. the bots are just bullshitters though.

everything about gen AI is about extraction, extraction of energy, extraction of resources, and extraction of labor used to train the models all in the name of the dream of a new form of slavery.

the dude's insane i don't usually use that word, "dude", but it felt fitting. now where's my car?

this is cool and people saying "just buy a whistle on amazon" did not read the story, have lost the light in their hearts, and will not enter heaven with that attitude www.404media.co/the-latest-d...

AI can't do that. It can't understand the words or the characters it's "voicing." It can't understand your intent and has no intent of its own. You need a real actor to do this.

Los Alamos and U of Michigan want to build a data center in the small town of Ypsilanti. The city's people don't want to help make weapons of mass destruction. The fight is only just starting

As we learn more and more about the costs associated with GenAI, I continue to wonder how institutions and their leadership decide that yes, incorporating anything OpenAI produces into the lives of educators and students is worth the harms.

“My son was completely shut down emotionally after this happened.”

our power both as individuals in our own lives, and collectively in society as a whole seems limited by the degree to which we've all been socially atomized and isolated from one another. maybe this is part of why the revocation moves so slow & why it's so hard also for many to get anywhere in life.

so joyce carol oates owned elon so hard he's been taking out ads on X saying he has in fact read a book and watched a movie and he's clearly spiraling and unable to recover from such a vicious own i say to my wife as she frantically pulls out of the driveway

well paid and exclusively human workers who made them, and ideally with every one of them getting both credit for their work and royalties from sales.

Hi everyone I'm back ! Hope things are going well for you all In a few weeks there will be my son's birthday and I haven't had him at home for the event in ages, so I wanted to make a little something for him Would you want to help a bit ? :) Thanks in advance ! ko-fi.com/sebastiendes... #kofi

Great episode, and a super interesting point toward the end: housing development costs could be far lower if the minimum requirements for parking spaces were removed. (the downside: we'd need to build more transit and bike lanes and make cities more walkable, oh no what a nightmare)

Pixar designed Toy Story to be printed on physical film. The Disney renaissance movies were the same. Today, it's hard to see them as they were meant to be seen. The versions on streaming and home media aren't quite the same films that ruled the '90s: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-toy-st...

"You setting your themostat to a temp that makes you not freeze yourself to death is actually whats costing you so much money, not the new AI data center or electric companies gouging your bill."

A new report last week stated that the average age for a first time home owner is now 40. Life expectancy in the US in 2023 was 78.39 years. A 50 year mortgage means no average person would own their homes ever. It turns homes into direct rentals from the bank even more than they already are.

It makes me happy beyond words to see all the hard work being done to preserve games on linux.

Forbes estimates OpenAI is blowing $15m a day on Sora. Sure, why not? I bet OpenAI’s inference costs are absolutely horrifying www.forbes.com/sites/phoebe...

IOF terrorists raid a Palestinian wedding in the West Bank.

the purpose of the democratic party is to redirect revolutionary energy into stupid bullshit that doesn't work

i think one thing that makes some video games so engrossing is that you are able to work towards goals and actually make progress and achieve them, while in real life the game is so stacked against you it doesn't matter how hard you work.

The First Amendment protects our right to make jokes at the federal government's expense. We have the high ground and the Constitution on our side.

It was great to chat with @irisvanrooij.bsky.social. Her work is an important part of the fight to save academia from being destroyed by Gen AI... a very real threat. van Rooij shared academic citatons too! Share, share! stopgenai.com/anti-gen-ai-...

Cue the articles on discrimination against sloppers.

is temporal dysphoria a thing, like feeling profoundly out of place in time like you're absolutely stranded in the wrong point in time and shouldn't be here? not even sure how you got to this point in time but know it's wrong?

truly what the fuck was the point of the shutdown
