“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive. One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy. Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

Right, as you may have seen on my tumblr everyone flips their fucking lid when I suggest to treat inanimate objects with respect but it’s not because I think you have a moral duty to your pet rock, I just think lashing out (or in this case sexually abusing) inanimates is psychologically corrosive

If these chatbots are going to continue to exist, which evidently they are, I feel like a near-necessary safety feature these companies need to implement is what Claude does, where if you're being rude to it, hitting on it, or saying bonkers out of pocket shit it will just tell you to fuck off

I'm not worried about people being abusive to their AI chatbots, especially men being sexually abusive, from the POV of "AI chatbots are a real sentient guy being harmed", but I feel like the way you repeatedly learn to treat something that can't say no *must* bleed into how you treat humans, right?

This reminded me of that kpop dude who performed in a Delta jacket. Googled for the ridiculous pic and apparently it’s been more than one!

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

You FUCKED UP, your LEFTY politics have ALIENATED the BILLIONAIRES who run the CHILD BONE EXTRACTION FACTORIES and now they will do a MASS EXODUS from your STATE or CITY. Don’t CRY to ME when you no longer see their CHILD CATCHING VANS in your STATE or CITY, YOU IDIOT

Update. The ICE supervisor, who is 47, was arrested for domestic violence against his non-citizen partner who he started a relationship when she was 18 and he was 40. www.fox19.com/2025/12/22/i...

This was exactly Adolf Eichmann's job.

This is a real post from an actual government media account. Better things are possible.

Funny how that works, huh? [Cartoon by Joe Heller]

Those guards would be a lot easier to get around if they were drunk, but they’re only drinking water! Don’t worry you have a few tricks up your sleeve! First, tap L2 and drag the Transubstantiation icon to your spell bar….

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

If a software product interacs in a way that imitates a human, the law should consider it an agent of the company just like a human employee, with the people who deploy it held accountable in the same way.

I remember when a Canadian court ruled that Air Canada's chatbot was a representative of the company (so the company had to honor commitments it had made) and they yanked it immediately.

This is the news every day for the past 6 years

This is why solid reading comprehension skills are absolutely vital. And I say this as somebody whose writing skills have often allowed me to skate by with loquacious bullshit. I know what I'm talking about. You MUST be able to read past that surface level.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

It's time for some Simply Sterling Game of the Year Awards! It's a new video looking back at 2025 and picking my favorite games from the lot. Will Clair Obscur make it despite AI controversy? Let's find out! Watch here: youtu.be/ELgU4iCkETo

They're also a russian company using being cyprus based to circumvent sanctions, so two reasons not to play their games as the money you spend on them is being funneled right back into the russian war machine to murder civilians. (that's as easy to find out as looking at wikipedia)

The most annoying thing about genAI is that eventually the genAI proponents are going to get to the end of the novelty of it, realize its limitations, and then claim to be the innovators of doing things the long way without genAI. Call it "slow productivity" or something.

5/5 So folks, truly beware ☠️ Whatever “perceived” gains are to be had with this exploitive tech is truly just not worth it. For those curious, here’s more info on what actual AI in games have and haven’t been. Read so you can tell when someone is stating otherwise:

Yes hello, former senior dev here: Every time someone says “AI does [useful thing]” you can place a safe bet that what they actually mean is “a machine learning algorithm trained on very specific high quality data does [useful thing]”

The whole ai selling speech is awfully similar to NFTs and we all know how that turned out.

Was shocked to hear the rumors about this stemmed from a poorly researched Escapist article that confused classical game AI (e.g. 1970s pacman ghosts) with genAI and LLM slop and perpetuated ubiquity propaganda. The term 'AI' is so poisoned by tech evangelists that its 'revising' history.

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.

I can and will keep getting away with it

It's your birthday, Duane.

really important video from pmg to the point where even complimenting it feels in its own way like a damning failure because this is a couple independent games journalists covering one of the most sophisticated systems of extermination in the history of humanity: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybj1...

Writers need to tell folk villain stories. I think there's truth in "politics is downstream from culture'. We need straightforward stories saying these guys kinda suck. Not the human interest pieces of let's get to know them and normalize them.

Can't believe I'm doing this again but: I don't believe the "using AI as a placeholder" excuse studios make. Placeholders are supposed to be bright and ugly so you remember to change it later. "Placeholder AI" is being used so that if they don't remember to change it, it's "good enough" to ship.

I mostly agree, I think my only counter is that women are also noticeably having a hard time with it, but women’s loneliness (such as during childcare, which is very lonely and not something a majority of men experience) is expected, desired by many, and not taken as seriously as men’s loneliness

heres the thing They absolutely NEED to mention it. The AI is the product and they need to show the investors and ceos that the trillion dollar plagiarism machine was worth it. Its a "do you guys not have phones" situation but theyve staked the entire economy on it.

I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

If you continue to play Fortnite after the Harry Potter collab, that tells me that you are OK with trans genocide. At that point, just get the fuck away from me, I want nothing to do with you. You are either a selfish piece of shit or a Nazi, or maybe even both. Fuck. You.

ME: Here’s something happening in America that sucks and everyone hates and no one supports SOME NON-AMERICAN: This is normal in America and everyone thinks it’s good…but not us, the enlightened global citizens of Mother Earth…we think it’s actually bad, unlike *dry heave sound* Americans 🤣🤣

I really hate "decorum" framing because pretending everything is a 1:1 comparison is only beneficial to fascists. Rob Reiner was a guy who made some movies people like. Charlie Kirk was a putrid, hatemongering piece of garbage and the world is a better place without him in it. There is no comparison

dude my brain is fucking cooked I saw the word "adage" written down and was like "what the hell is an あだゲー"

As someone who grew up navigating with a Thomas Guide, a coffee-stained AAA map, or via barely legible directions written on my arm with a ballpoint pen, I can safely say these people are fucking weak.

"A.i." is a tool of racists and fascists and liars. Do not use it and do not spread it. Abolish "A.i." from every space and org you have authority over - at the very least from your own computers and social media feeds.

Idk who needs to hear this, but talking to blorbo on the plagerism machine is crossing the picket line.
