It's truly embarrassing the sheer number of Americans who sincerely believe the US is devolving into a fascist dictatorship "to distract from the Epstein Files". A 5 year old child has a better understanding of how the world works.

It's counter-intuitive but the only correct way to moderate any sort of community space is going to include some kind of "vibe check" where you should always reserve the right to make judgments arbitrarily moderation is an analog problem and failure to accept this makes you bad at your job

A particularly insidious but common pitfall of community moderation is an understandable but wrong insistence on running things via strict adherence to a set of guidelines. This never actually works in practice because you end up with a bunch of bad faith actors constantly testing boundaries.

as I've said, LLM advocates have an extremely narrow idea of what a person is, and that is why they think an LLM could be one

"I miss Cohost" so bsky devs snark at the users for wanting Nazis banned, and make bad choices because they have no actual path to monetization, and you...miss the site that did that exact same thing and shut down?

when i give to a podcast Patreon i include a note that the hosts can only spend the money on groceries. no one gets to have fun on my dime!

I saw this birdhouse being boosted again and almost posted this but just realized from people liking it that I did that when it was posted the first time lol

www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sgw... This is the funniest video anyone has ever made but requires you to already be very familiar with one other specific video

Tonally this is exactly the same as the AI Walmart nostalgia videos

Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.

Remember when they tried to do this fake actress thing with the CGI lady in Final Fantasy Spirits Within and then it cost way too much money and nobody liked it

Oh THAT'S what he meant when he told people to continue Charlie Kirk's work

Youtube added an "inspiration" tab that does AI bullshit to give new suggestions based on your popular uploads. My channel's most popular vids are * MIDI keyboard demo songs, and * The final scene from The Lorax (2012) these completely deranged suggestions it thinks will help my channel succeed

Are they going to add in inter-community drama if not it's not much of a card shop simulator

Xbox 360 Dollars Per Year

At some point I got annoyed at people saying "it's just X coffees" when my concern is paying bills not paying for coffees, so I started saying dog medicine. That's a month of dog medicine pal.

I fuckin loved milkdrop

All of the AI nostalgia videos feel like setups for a horror movie where the computer is trying to lure you into a torment hellscape by going "don't you want to come back to the 80s with us Richard?"

Hi, I'm CoolBoy 198-in-1 Real Game (China) (En) (Aftermarket) (Pirate), but you can call me Real Game (China) for short.

I'm watching some of the videos from the "2002 walmart" account because I love seeing where AI fucks things up and for some reason an absurd amount of these videos have a kid wearing a shirt that says BARG and I can't figure out what it's going for. It's not always the same style either.

already had people mad at me for saying i don't like gavin like mfer he's not even the candidate and you're already mad that i didn't vote for him, something i cannot even do yet, that we can avoid if we talk about this NOW,

First of all why did they add this film grain that looks like flies interrupting the shot for 2002 Second, this is the Old Navy shirt every kid owned back then no idea what this flames shit is

Stuff like Clearview AI is horrible. But we have to be careful about how we talk about it lest we give it undue credit. Saying it finds out everything about you from a photo assumes it works right. We have no reason to do that. The statistics come from the company selling it.

Sorry who is doing what now deadline.com/2025/09/slee...

Taking this out of kibs mentions bc it isn’t relevant to their point but the guy in the photo they have here is so accurate it feels like a hate crime

This is the modern version of this guy theonion.com/guy-in-philo...

@bobservo.bsky.social do you know how good it felt to hear someone else mix up Jason Momoa and Samoa Joe because I JUST did that recently looking at the upcoming Street Fighter cast and thinking "oh getting a wrestler to play Blanka is a good idea really"

They were smart to have a moderator because I would have immediately asked him to get a goat, cabbage, second cabbage, third cabbage, wolf, and spiderman across a river

The first person to throw a brick through this profane device will be a hero to humanity

There is NOTHING I love more than a business owner/rep going on reddit to argue with people about their business, seeing a business be a Regular Shitty Redditor is always funny to me

This just describes Little My actually she's not a bear she just has food allergies

Always feel weird when I'm searching a word to find something specific but see some totally unrelated post in the results where I might be able to answer a question but now I've just appeared in some strangers mentions out of nowhere

Really tired of Canadians online smugly telling people in the US that they're "welcome up here" while Canada is deporting asylum seekers who might be deported by the US government to god knows where or sent to a camp back to the US No, vulnerable people actually aren't "welcome up there"

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Obviously the problem with Ron Swanson's round desk was that he couldn't avoid people at work but my god I've considered this kind of desk for my house I like to spread out The problem is id absolutely have the part that lifts up to get out covered in stuff and get trapped

This is what Parks & Rec got so indelibly right in a way that has aged like fine wine

writing "self defense" on all my ammo just in case anyone ever asks me any questions that are already answered by the ammo

As a woman I care nothing for children. I look into their eyes and feel nothing.

Remember that Moxie robot that was a several thousand dollar AI robot that would talk to kids, and they went bankrupt and the robots stopped working? The company got bought and the buyers want to bring the robot back and BOY you should see their miserable hiring page: moxierobots.com/hiring

sleep deprivation is a cult tactic

i have engraved my entire manifesto on a series of bullet casings, but then i dropped the ammo box and they're all jumbled up in order wise and i don't have it in me to sort it out again

Reminds me of when I poke holes in AI software I always ask about morgellons and most LLMs will tell you the science is unclear and that doctors haven't come to a consensus about it lmao

Everyone was convinced they would sue because of their reputation as being super litigious but they forget they're super litigious against rando emulator devs or whatever not foreign governments
