my hot take on GTA vi is that it's not going to be different enough from previous rockstar games to be meaningfully new and people won't like that. also it's going to be flamed for a bunch of culture war reasons and not valid ones like "rockstar hasn't done anything new since 2014"

I was fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. proteanmag.com/2025/11/01/w...

I remember when I used to be an insufferable terminally online person and I'm so much less angry all the time now while still acutely aware of The Horrors™ so that's nice. also doing stuff that isn't posting makes my broken meat robot hurt less which is a huge deal.

dunno how much longer I'm gonna stay on blue sky given they just made me verify my age using PII

this particular failing at understanding metaphor is so far off the mark it actually shows how much contempt tech execs have for their users, not indifference actual real contempt.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

if you cannot go more than 48 hours without encountering AI you cannot opt out of, you are actively seeking out AI, I encounter almost no AI that hasn't been forced into programs but that is easy enough to avoid, again, you can't have this experience without seeking it out.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Unfriendly reminder involuntarily treatment tends to kill people so just be honest about your goals

you are proof that love is real

If you are sharing life-saving information via an image, it really is messed up to not take a moment to include alt text

Not everything everywhere is for us

that's an amazing question considering the focal area of my degrees but I was aware of it even before then for myriad reasons.

If you take the last cup of coffee from a communal pot without making more you should be cursed with the runs immediately.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

“People [in tech jobs] worry that not being seen as uncritical AI cheerleaders will be a career-limiting move…for those who aren't insiders in the tech industry, it's vital that you understand that you've been presented with an extremely distorted view about what tech workers really think about AI”

periodic reminder that calling yourself some flavor of socialist does not make you exempt from examining your unconscious biases

It is Luddite, in the true meaning of the term. The luddites were a distributed, organized revolutionary movement targeting the use of automation by capitalists to exploit and displace skilled workers. They weren’t just grumpy about technology

to piggyback on this the "-slop" phenomenon comes from the far right exclusively and is mostly used to deride things that allow people to actually have fun or connect with one another in ways they don't approve of, which is literally everything except jorking it and outrage stalking.

if your politics don't revolve around empowering everyone to the same degree, you don't want change you just want to be at the top of the current order and dress it in different clothes.

Wikipedia is worth $10/month because if it dies so does reliable knowledge. Cough up if you can -- it's cheaper, more interesting and morally superior to Netflix.

John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry began on October 16, 1859.

why does David Cage have my email address?

important to note they based this decision on the "popularity" of voice- using data from, and I cannot stress this enough, COMPULSORY WORK MEETINGS BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS THAT TOOK PLACE OVER TEAMS. no copilot AI agent was involved in the "billions of hours of teams meetings" they cited.

the right and broader conservatism in this country have always been intensely bigoted, that anyone argues this is not the case is frankly absurd, there were scotus cases as recently as the mid 20th century debating whether non white people are actually human beings and if they are do they get rights

Being surprised at the insanity that was in that Young Republicans chat group makes me go like "Have you been on the internet in the past 20 years... like... at all?" Anybody who got "profiled" by sites like Kiwifarms and 4chan are VERY MUCH AWARE of how ugly these bigoted dickheads can be...

cue the inevitable "someone help! my ai chat or girlfriend saw that I bought a small tungsten cube and ordered me a pallet of tungsten cubes and now I'm out $400,000 and have a large crater in my driveway!" stories

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

Social media has destroyed the fabric of civilization buts it’s also helped me a lot personally

I think sometime around 2019 I just flat stopped giving a shit about the optics of my personal politics and I think everyone should explore the freedom that affords.

I need everyone to read the Dawn of Everything and Debt: The First 5000 Years because holy shit some of you are operating on extremely revisionist views of history that actually cape for fascism while claiming you're doing the work of abolition.

gonna listen to shit, damn, motherfucker on my way home from work today. rip to a legend.

"we need a better word than Luddite" *spends the entire article accurately describing luddism and its attendant philosophy and specific critiques, while falling into the same asinine revisionism of the people who use it as a slur* this article didn't need to be written you just need to not be scared

god dammit. Diane Keaton AND D'Angelo? the rule of three has the chance to do something very funny rn.

a lot of these "no, HERE'S the real right way to protest" posts and threads seem to be operating on a dangerously incorrect premise, that what we are experiencing right now is somehow not fully fascism.

at this point the only thing I can say for sure AI is doing is attempting to compile as much data on every user as they can, I assume this has two functions, 1) free training data and sellable personal information, and 2) experimenting on us to see how they can be used for influence campaigns.

Reminder that your sexuality should be based in attraction, not politics.

Nothing is wrong in this post I would only also add a significant part of the pseudoscience was directly created to absolve white men of sex crimes "It's not his fault, he has an addiction!" Said by the same people who think you can beat heterosexuality and good manners into children

This will be the hill I die on, “porn addiction” is not real, that phrase specifically is used as a dog whistle and is backed only by pseudoscience which has been created by right wing fascist organisations with the intention to demonise minorities. It is not real, actual science proves it isn’t.

as a recovering addict, the concept of porn addiction is, frankly, insulting to the work it takes to recognize and overcome an actual addiction. people need to understand compulsive behavior can be just as harmful as, while not sharing any physiological mechanisms with, addiction.

it should not be news to you that the nobel peace prize has a problematic history, it only exists because a guy who made explosives thought people would only use it for mining and not during a war and felt existential guilt.

life is a campaign where you can only ever infer your derived attributes, you never actually get your character sheet with your base attributes.

yes.

if you think that AI deserves the same consideration as real living breathing human beings congrats you cannot delineate between reality and unreality and care more about civility toward inhuman machines designed to put people out of work than any harm done to actual human beings.

let's try something Like this Post if you will be less likely to open this web site when the trannies finally stop putting up with this shit and find some a new platform to give life to Repost this Post if you're never going to click a single ad on this web site while this shit continues

How is the conclusion to the article "we need to use more AI"
