So Sam Altman is now moving from the "please give money am smol bean" phase directly to the "wallet inspector" phase. He's a crypto guy through and through

god it is such a rough time to be single

TVTropes has so much to answer for. The idea that a character in a story can be "a filler character" is such a comprehensively broken way to engage with media. They don't advance the plot? How can you know that?

it sucks that theres still some creatives out there who only seem to take issue with gAI when its in their field, but will happily use it to replace other creative workers. Its remarkably easy to have a bit of solidarity and never use this shit. Up till 2023 it was the default state

The kids are all right

Something about the hypnotic repetition of the same phrases really makes this one bite

Oh! I absolutely thought the "kids are calling stuff AI as a slam in school" was some made up Ruthkanda shit, but I saw it live and in person last night. We had friends over for dinner last night and they brought their 12 and 16 year old kids and it happened more than once. Kids hate it.

This is kind of my internal monologue whenever I cook for myself

Meanwhile, on Wikipedia: "If you have a history of AI use, we will expunge everything you have added since ChatGPT went live, because nuking you from orbit is the only way to be sure" (paraphrased) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

Make it political call that shit animal double crossing

It's not often that an essay fills me with hope and love 10% of the way in. This speaks to me. These are the words I wanted.

Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics investigators are fighting back. Learn more: https://scim.ag/42dMPBg

"NIMBYism" means that you want the thing but will oppose it if it impacts you. Data centre opposition is opposition to *all* data centres. Nobody wants AI, and nobody wants the data centres to be built. I get that you're not reading, but hopefully other people will.

If they don't, that means Baby Yoda is now an undefended trademark and can be freely used

had no idea you could jack yourself off to death and die from going hog wild on that nasty little worm. rest in peace Rudy

every ai coding horror story - and even happy story - all i want to know but typically no one says is *how much did they pay*

My hot take is that I feel like games are probably too cheap.

Beating up Slenderman and taking his wallet. Killing SCP-682 (permanently, canon) and taking his wallet. Babadook? Gimme that wallet. Sadako? Wallet. Hellstar Remina? Better hope she has a wallet up there. In this universe all deaths are canon and all lunches are paid for with other people's money

Speaking as a proud consumer of huge cartoon meat chunks it's comforting to remember that even I am some people's type

Big court date for the InfoWars takeover tomorrow. Cross fingers, knock on wood, send one up. We're hoping our agreement with the families and receiver is greenlit by the judge, despite Alex's hate campaign against them all. If we win, expect an Emergency Broadcast. Stay tuned, and wish us luck.

Anyone else noticing a massive uptick in follow-up corrections to marketing emails?

in new zealand they call him trint rizna

Ah, they've learned to replace the em dashes with semicolons

There's a part of learning, which generative AI completely turns into dogshit, which is *doing something you could not have done before* Whether it's drawing, playing an instrument, solving a physics problem, organizing an essay, you find yourself doing easily what previously you found overwhelming

Let's make him deny the cannibalism stuff too. Just make sure he has to open every interview with a comprehensive Epstein acknowledgement.

Titanium Court has way more going on than anticipated. One of the most engaging fae games ever made. I've got no idea how it's going to resolve the various threads and I am so excited to see it land these shots.

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

This is a pure Iowan phenotype. This is what the big sky and the rich soil is made for.

This is what the AI tools take from you. Your curiosity, your wonder, and your dreaming. It'll be years before we'll know if you can ever get them back.

We live in a world where actually knowing how things work is increasingly important and increasingly dismissed by the people in power, and their failures are exponentially more visible.

Very few things in video games are as satisfying as a character who is stressed to death becoming calm and contented due to your actions.

I'm just a little kitty piloting a giant mech given to me by a portal yes I am :3 Game: Animalkind (Early Access) Platform: PC

This genuinely looks like one of the coolest things ever made

I think in a lot of cases the people asking that question are expecting a sort of "I'd never heard of that before" response, and the idea that they'll have to meaningfully argue their case- which they cannot do from a moral high ground- is deeply upsetting.

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

stay a while and listen

This theme is gonna be running through my anxious/avoidant head during every networking event I attend for the rest of time

AI is shit. Everything was better before AI. AI needs to be violently put down and its slop expunged.

I love writing code at 5 am

Every time I ask someone who uses AI to vibe code some shit to show me what they've made, it is without fail either 1. a clone of an existing thing that already has several clones in public GitHub repositories, or 2. a 1-day homework project from 2nd year software engineering.

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

Advertising spaces being used to advertise the company that manages the advertising space.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

There is a completely ego destroying moment when a game project goes from "interesting and functional set of experiments" to "extraordinarily bad actual game" and it is a long climb out of that hole

I've played a GameCube on a system that looked like this. Interoperability and long term thinking used to be the cornerstones of the great tech.

mother! was a good film and more movies should go out of their way to hurt the audience
