“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!” Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

Recently picked up the game Chasm on a ridiculous sale. It's great, up until the last area where the combination of difficulty spike with a horrid run back to the boss or back to the town has sapped every bit of enjoyment I was having out of the game.

My reaction to the U.S. attack in Venezuela (1/2)

Woke up, let the dog out, made breakfast for the kids, read a bit, wrote a bit, logged on to Bluesky for a moment and, well, damn 2026 is coming in hot already.

LLMs are 100% - yes, 100% - the results of their programmer's intentions. Yes, there are some unexpected outputs. But if you'd chatbot creates sexual images of young children, either the programmers don't care or THEY EXPLICITLY WANTED IT TO DO THAT.

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS

these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside

My pupper would like to say "merry Christmas" to everyone in my neighborhood who celebrates except the person setting off fireworks.

Disgusting dehumanization.

Guilty people acting guilty

I just learned how big wombats are and I am not okay. I always assumed the were like the size of a groundhog. I can't credit the photo, it was from a reddit post from four years ago, but apparently they're about a meter (3.3 feet) long and between 25 and 40 kg (55 to 88 lbs).

Hey remember when we were like, "they're gonna do this thing" and then everyone else was like, "you're overreacting?" I'm so tired of being right. I'm so tired.

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

It wasn't a long read!

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

Tropes that are never not funny*, a thread, maybe: Someone saying complete gibberish followed by, "you know what I mean" or something similar. *to me

High fat cheese or what I call my latest WIP

First, no its not here to stay. None of the companies are actually making anything close to a profit. Second, what the actual fuck? You can simply, you know, not use it. Anything you use generative AI for, even if its just "concept art" or "getting ideas" is coming from a poisoned well.

This is how the world ends, not with a bang nor with a whimper, but with the masses crying out as one, "this is so fucking stupid"

This is a great analogy. Why do all that work just to get to the top of that wall? Because the work IS the point. The work is why you do it. It's the same with anything creative.

hey thanks @themountaingoats.bsky.social i needed this today www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv53...

AI powered consulting firm with no actual clients listed and their "testimonials" from "clients" include names and titles but also no compamy names or actual pictures. You cannot convince me their entire website wasn't built with AI and that all of this is fake. Anyway, here's Kaylee

Wait, are the pictures of Trump in the white cowboy hat REAL?

We just murdered eight more people in boats.

I'm back to reading AI papers again after almost a month off. Focus is currently on evaluation of models because (surprise) people are bad at it and AI judging AI is worse Like: “You should use LLM-as-a-judge to improve your judgement, not replace your judgement” openreview.net/forum?id=3GT...

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

Far too few of us, myself included, did not really understand the extent to which some of the people of this country would go simply for the cruelty of it all.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

I’d guess I’m not entirely alone in having assumed it would continue to mean Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics…
