reminder that Xbox is still a BDS target, so you can feel even better about cancelling Nitro and not giving Discord money than you previously would have

This is what I point to when folks try to justify genAI. "It's not so bad as long as they don't sell it." Meanwhile, these data centers are swallowing up resources, ruining local water infrastructure, & not really caring. All for plagiarized slop. It's gross. Every use counts. Every single one.

continually mad that spiral knights is in a perpetual state of mistreatment bc look how cool this game looks. come on man

tumblr calling me out with this post.

I don't think I could make a joke better than this

Just an early reminder

Awareness Critical thinking Guard against manipulation

This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

keep fighting

the goddamn company itself is calling its own game a trojan horse to spread AI acceptance fuck this game forever, fuck these devs. do not trust any amount of backpedaling.

Discord's April Fools' joke was that they added an integrated browser game into the app and I genuinely didn't realise it was meant to be a joke because I'm so used to them jamming in bullshit features I immediately ignore

Tumblr throwback for April fools.

I know I should do something new but in all honesty this is what I tell myself to this day. #TransDayOfVisibility #tdov

You ever notice that when AI was marketed as an assistant they used female names like Siri and Alexa but now that AI is supposed to be smart they’re using male names like Claude

That stupid new BlueSky Ai, Attie, is now the third-most blocked account on this site after ONE DAY. And the numbers keep growing. It's not an exaggeration to say the number of people blocking it is growing every second. PLEASE make this the first acc with one million blocks, that'd be HILARIOUS!

what if we got a 100% blockrate on it. what if they designed an AI and we unanimously said "nope"

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Gotta quote this because it's my field and some posts (like the one by @anothermeekone.bsky.social ) are spreading misinfo Tl;dr some researcher said "I found a vulnerability in telegram and I notified the company" That's all. There's literally no other info besides that and the CVSS score

Gonna just start hitting people with a pipe.

i can't find it and i feel like i'm going insane but there is/was a tumblr post that read "cis men are always doing forcemasc hypno to themselves" and it's perfectly explained everything i see out of the neoconservative patriarchy since

No Tim, you fucking clown, employers will not see a “stream of resumes” because they’ll be impossible to pick out from the TSUNAMI of resumes you and your fellow corpos have flooded the job market with. How dare he? How dare Tim portray layoffs as anything other than corporate indulgence?

I’m beyond fucking angry at this one. Executive drivel infuriates me on the regular, but Tim Sweeney trying to glorify layoffs occupies a special bracket of offensive. What a supremely fucked up thing to say about having hurt 1,000 people for the sake of money. What an evil little man.

The author's brazen fetish, presented with such hedonistic flair and and open pride it makes you feel a little embarassed for needing to hide your own passions behind self-effacing jokes in order to preserve a sense of safe, pseudo-ironic detachment

If you're saying "Fuck JK Rowling" and "stop keeping Harry Potter culturally relevant through fandom or funding" then you should drop FNAF too. Scott Cawthon is a Christian Conservative who uses his wealth to donate to republicans, including Trump and Mitch McConnell. www.axios.com/2021/06/15/f...

I think with the level of venom with which AI proponents have treated artists, writers, musicians, whole creative industries, they deserve at the very least to have that venom met in kind, and I hope it stings. I'm only sorry it hasn't happened sooner. Party's over, enjoy the hangover.

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

so what happens to all the AI "artists" if their programs go away is it just like game over LOL this post was made by sketchbook gang

You don’t need to pirate it either. Do something else with your limited time on earth

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

This is the really big news here imo, its not just the sora app thats gone but chatgpt wont be doing videos either. This is a massive hit to openAI. Hopefully this hit causes internal bleeding that kills them as painfully as possible.

Just remember JK Rowling is in the Epstein files and actively had a friendship with him years after he was a convicted sex offender :P

Trump is throttling renewable energy production, which can help guard against volatile oil price spikes. Instead, he’s forcing companies to invest in dirty fossil fuels, whose prices are soaring due to his war on Iran. Everyone loses under Trump — except Big Oil.

I saw a fair amount of the "make it first" posts yesterday. Coincidentally our designer found an old prototype thread yesterday, that fits the billing pretty well. You've just got to explore ideas, you don't know where they will lead. And yeah, in blue, that's Gonzo from windwaker... 😅

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

I don't know about the rest of the millennials but I make all purchases via real computer because I don't have to Download Yet Another App to do it and the browser there is better at blocking all the stupid fucking ads and trackers. At some point you gotta take control of the hamster wheel, kids.

That's it, that's my vote. That's all it took. The only other person I'd even consider over him now is AOC. Posting this to make others primary votes real easy.

Apparently there’s another No Kings protest around the corner— these protests need to get angrier and have an actual goal or endgame to them. It’s nice to see people show up in such big numbers, but it’s a first step. I want to see that organizational potential applied in a more substantial way

Also, cancel your subscriptions to streaming, stop buying from Amazon if possible, buy local, the biggest corporations need to really start hurting.

fun reminder: the reason why they make these fucking pointless "live action" remakes is because since it's "live action", the animation is considered "vfx" and not character animation, so they can pay these non-unionized satellite studios fuck-all and make a cool few million for essentially nothing

it's friday afternoon so here's my conspiracy theory: everything is touchscreens now as part of a general goal of taking away our sensory delights. pushing a button? twirling a cord? pulling, god forbid, a LEVER? things of the past. everything we consume comes from one of three kinds of screen.

I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this. The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all! Games don't need VO to be good! By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!
