Formulating an #emfcamp policy: if I'm in your talk and your slides have #llm slop on them, I'm walking out. No ifs no buts. You couldn't be bothered making them, I'm not interested in looking at them, and I have to presume that whatever you're saying has had the same amount of thought put into it

upside down @mxfrankduffy.bsky.social Tower card on The Rig for tonight’s gig. A powerful pull. This is going to be a sonic ritual against data centres, entitled The Unchattering

1/ I’m still processing what’s going on in tech at the moment. I used to feel at home in that world. It used to feel incredibly creative and positive. Now it’s increasingly full of bugs, dark addicting patterns and AI slop. 2ality.com

5000 troops plus misc extra Feds is basically one extra cop per 120 DC residents in what is already one of the most policed spots in the country

Last night, in the showcase at Art Meets Radical Openness in Linz, I introduced yorick.chat, the world’s first dead chatbot.

the generational de-skilling is almost the entire point of this technology. its architects are very open about wanting to bring about a new feudal order, with themselves as its barons.

yes!

one day i will write a linter that encodes all of my extremely weird opinions about how JavaScript should be formatted, purely as an exercise in trying to meet other likeminded folks that aren't furious about it.

FujiFilm make a new X-Pro camera challenge 2026. If you can't figure it out, hire me. I will product-manage the shit out of that thing.

It's often uneasy for me to share my experiences as a woman in tech, but this job market has me worried for everyone stuck somewhere harmful. I admire everyone who takes on "women in tech" speaking gigs but I am also angry for them and us. ohhelloana.blog/woman-in-tec...

some kind of hellish poetry to a "shortage of memory" in electronics taking place simultaneous to historical revisionism campaigns by authoritarian politicians

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

excellent thread; people are excellent

Plants EAT the air Every now and then I like to remind myself that the physical structures of plants are directly made from the Carbon Dioxide in the air Plant roots take up water and small amounts of other stuff but the plant isn’t eating the soil to make more plant.

Everything is regressing to the man and we've got to get weirder. With our art, writing, programming, behavior. When I make something I want people to think "only a human could have thought of that"

Some dates, when formatted as YYYY-MM-DD, have all unique digits * The earliest was 1345-06-27 * The most recent was 1987-06-25 * The next is 2345-06-17 * The last will be 9876-12-30

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

I did it. I made a song.

Not long until @heypresents.com now, so I'm pleased @cassiecodes.bsky.social called to figure out some of the beefier details.

every single time I am asking "what do these claims about genAI capability actually mean" and every single time the answer turns out to be "not very much" once anyone actually reads anything www.flyingpenguin.com/the-boy-that...

that is SIX AND A HALF TIMES the Arts & Humanities Research Council budget… spent on a technology specifically designed to replace workers in creative industries. The absolute contempt this labour party has for people who actually work for a living…

At this point the only reason to call it the Labour Party is it lasts too long, hurts like hell, and people keep popping in and out to check on your genitals.

excellent stuff from th' Goblin Band www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVDZ...

we all know that awards are kinda bullshit, but The Webby Awards nominating "claude" person of the year is so utterly depressing.

let me on infowars. i will be fully insane. i believe that electricity changed colors in the 2010s and that straight people are actually space monsters attempting to breed a race of gay superhumans to fight in their star wars

The *entire Starmer project* needs to be understood as one big Jobs For The Boys operation. That’s why McSweeney - Labour’s squillionaire bungs officer - spent 2017-19 running around telling dejected MPs to hold tight, because he was going to hook them back up with their clout, status and freebies.

logging on in the age of machine hyper intelligence to discover your personal data has been stolen for the 3rd time this week and not even remotely giving a fuck because the industry has sacrificed half a century of information security lessons in favour of 4 years of venture capital novelty

okay who wants to go to the park with me and check if the squirrels are actually RAL 700 Squirrel Grey or if they are out of spec

card pull for today: being really clear about what's wrong & how to change it does not mean you are to change it all by yourself. it's too big and will break you. We change these things effectively in community: find yours, & remember to rest & reset *before*, not at, burnout. #tarot #tarotsky

Not to be earnest on main, but, let's get the water industry back under public ownership. Privatisation has been an unmitigated disaster petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

Here is an easy solution: Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves. Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled. Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.

behold the glowing techno-paw of the very brilliant @loulayorke.bsky.social, showing us how it's done at the Dyski Modular Weekend back in March.
