This is such a funny redux of the bad baby Jesuses in medieval art

There's an AWS outage this morning impacting lots of services; it started around 07.30 UK time. People who use services like Alexa as their alarm clocks have just had a helpful reminder that using a device reliant on connectivity to carry out a task that doesn't need connectivity is not a good idea.

Only committee approved slogans in the resistance please

The baseball feels everything that is done to it, and is frequently in extreme pain. It's okay because most baseballs are very mean by nature so when that man hits it with his bat so very hard, justice is being served.

Sorry to report I hate this kind of shit and I think this kind of naivety is dangerous and should be loudly pushed back against

I get the sentiment but equating independent creators trying to sustain financial support in the same breath as the enshittification web 2.0 corporate feudalism is ghoulish should be worth pointing out creators often offer their work nearly completely free, subscription models are for bonus perks

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either. Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

If I had laser hair, I sure wouldn’t want it removed. I’d be so psyched.

must’ve felt so good in the 18th century to scowl severely at another man and say “you forget yourself” and know he wants to suck you off so bad

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

It was @sarahjeong.bsky.social and we’ve been pounding this drum for years - especially since all the promises of metadata to prove images are real have gone nowhere www.theverge.com/2024/8/22/24...

We will need Nuremberg-like trials

when i was a kid i didn't understand how this worked and i thought every CD that was manufactured had to have a monster put onto it. like they'd go up to ringo starr or whatever and ask him what monster he wants and he'd say "ouhh this DEfinitely has a "Battle Rocks" quality to it! peace and love.!"

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster. The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

Oh fuck you turning off comments this is AI generated the windows on the building arent even consistent

gay fire lol

finally caught up with @thejenna.bsky.social 's video about the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto and it's kinda fascinating to see what gaps corporations create in their own history to create a vision of how they want to be seen www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0N6...

James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more. A long 🧵

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

The year is 2025. There are three social networks remaining. They are run by Dweeb Lowtax, Tweaker Lowtax, and Girlboss Lowtax. You have to pick at least one.

You Can Just Push Shit In Back Seat Out Of Way

Let’s fucking go we better respect the robots before “they use us“

actually our AI programs are like people so its racist to say you don't like them. anyway would you like to buy one

anyone who invokes anti- or post-humanism (both things I'm totally fine with) but who focuses their love and defense of the non-human on, for instance, the machine that gives you imperfect answers in a perfectly obeisant tone, and not the non-human things devastated by that machine, can fuck off.

hey man just bc i'm platforming the Francis Galton of gender on my 70% gay website doesn't mean i'm not an ally! I still party with the dolls, I know ball! I saw Sophie live, I play Bloodborne! I have the Ikea shark I said Lindsey Graham was 'clocky' and no one got mad! I gave matrix revolutions 5/5

It's 1925. I'm leanin' against this lamppost on the lookout for dames who are lookin for trouble. I start flipping a quarter. I catch her eye. I fumble the quarter and it rolls into a sewer grate. I have lost the equivalent of thirty thousand dollars.

if a millennial tells you this they're a fed cuz no the fuck we don't think that

this is like half of r/ups now

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

correct. Every part of the story is a lie to pump up some shitty little start up

If eight of my artist/games/writer friends could make $100,000 a year it would be completely life changing for every single one of them. It's hard to overstate how infuriating and inhumane this feels "lol"

fuck ice airing commercials during dynamite, let em know: help.hbomax.com/us/Feedback/ tbsnetwork.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/req...

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

It's frustrating that after all this people still don't understand- no, not really. It is built to use huge datasets you can only populate with stolen, scraped material. It is literally engineered to steal and then plagiarize. That's the technology. There's no scenario where it would've worked

The Committee for the First Amendment first launched in the 1940s, when the House Un-American Activities Committee accused Hollywood actors, directors and writers of being communists or sympathizers.

Circle K has what can only be described as “Saints Row Food”

this lake was almost spooky. it was downright

Oh my god
