The process is the fun part. It's where all the magic happens.

Incredibly Cool™️ that Arc Raiders is sparking this mindset across the internet so much. Really Awesome™️ that people now think already underpaid voice actors deserve even less! Super great job! 🫩

I have been on media almost everywhere (locally) but here about this- let me give you an update about our work to protect a public park, an ecologically significant beach area, from being developed into a golf course.

Nobody asked for a revival of Vine, but don’t use the revival, since it’s going to be scraped for AI training. The “No AI on diVine” rule is just there to ensure it’s fed real content and not more AI slop.

I ain't got no BL friends to be excited about this with but I got the nendos from Dokyuusei on sale and they're really cute 🥺

fuck Krafton for this and MANY other reasons, they're a heinous company and no game they create is worth even the gum on the sidewalk

The Sackler family, owners OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma, will officially pay up to $7 billion for their role in the opioid crisis. This new agreement replaces one the Supreme Court rejected that would have protected members of the family against future lawsuits.

(FreeTaxUSA is a great alternative - don't feed AI your private financial information.)

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

It is positively dumbfounding to me that literally ANYONE still has Alexa in their homes, neverminded that they're lining up to buy literal surveillance sunglasses

I need people to use their head and realize a vine that doesn't allow AI content is the perfect training ground FOR AI and jack dorsey is buds with musk this isn't a gift it's a ploy

It's important to have a powerful anvil to make smith great things

I think medieval beekeeper outfits could be the strongest look in the entire history of fashion.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

new pika looks so pitiful 🥹

I recently discovered that the great courses, an educational group that used to send my household magazines of all their courses, has an app with a ton of courses and workbooks available across a wide number of subject matter and I, an extremely knowledge hungry autistic, have been SO HAPPY ABOUT IT

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it" My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them. I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

No, not circadian rhythm; I have a cicadian rhythm: I only emerge to do anything of note once every 13 to 17 years.

me: I want to learn to do this new thing universe: mkay but by "learn" do you mean "study and take baby steps to understand the process and improve over time" or, like, "instantly be able to do this thing perfectly" because the second one isn't actually possible me: me: me: well nevermind then

I love drawing fish ☺️ #art #wip

GG playing that game made using generative AI tools, for a SPONSOR SPOT, is a strong and ugly nail in the coffin for me consuming their content man

i really dislike that "make it exist, make it good later" meme all you gotta do is make it exist no one is very good at judging if their own stuff is good, you just gotta ignore that part as best you can

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

I need someone to just lmk when gdt's Frankenstein is available for purchase bc I'm never gonna make it to the theater in time and I don't have (or want) netflix (and if it's never gonna be available for purchase then hit me with that 🏴‍☠️)
