I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

‘AI is just a tool like Photoshop. Artists who reject it are technophobes.’ I remember when Photoshop came out. We FUCKING LOVED IT. Digitally retouching artwork? Undo? Colour correction? Selections for masking? LAYERS?! We loved it because it gave us MORE control over the art process, not LESS.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

DNA evidence is *very* extremely conclusive. There is a problem though: even though the odds of a false match are like one in a billion, laboratory error is not. It is illegal to mention this. www.cnn.com/2024/03/09/u...

Really I'm a hero

Comped Guy Pearce a movie ticket

Unfortunately the last book I read was A Christmas Carol so I guess my job is Victorian loan shark

the really heartbreaking thing is when i interview Chinese devs (or Korean devs as well) or even just like network with them I get thanked for treating them respectfully.... and i think that points to a much larger issue that some devs face bc of the way american journalists talk about their work

"If something was going on, it'd have been leaked already" I'm sorry, do you understand how the beltway press works? The entire DC press corps will hold an open secret for years, they're all shopping their book deals and we'll get to hear about all the juicy stuff "everyone knew" in March 2029.

Finally pushing through the end of Twin Peaks S2 re-watch and the slog is worth it for gems like this.

Which part of the body of Christ would be most nutritious? 🤔

Why don't churches offer high-protein communion wafers? Do they really oppose offering a more masculine option during this unprecedented era of male loneliness?

2026 is gonna be the year I get a full-time job. This has gone on long enough

From "Democrats should abandon trans rights" to "I want to have sex with a computer." Wake up, honey, it's the worst takes of the year.

Started playing AI: The Somnium Files, and I might stick with it, but I gotta say that in an era of genAI it hits different

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Palantir. Sauron. CyberDyne. Blackrock. Mr Beast Inc. Cerberus. Blackwater. Anduril. Citizen. Citadel. Gilead. Bain Capital. Darktrace. Oracle. Umbra.

there have been multiple stories of middle school girls getting harassed with generated CP of themselves over the past few years and somehow the only AI fear that seems to stick is the fucking water if i was more conspiratorial i'd think it's a psyop

I used to manage wine programs for movie theaters and I am in the extremely unique position to say with professional certainty that the answer here is a crisp Albariño.

Again, chatGPT killing people is not some side-effect of a broader societal neglect of people struggling with suicidality. It's a downstream effect of beliefs and deliberate choices. It's an act of deliberate harm. OpenAI's engineers and directors killed these people.

done! (mostly, will probably do some minor edits and weathering when I get back to my laptop haha) #sinners

What if I just slept until new year’s

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

I tweaked my back by correcting my posture if you want to know how being 39 is going

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

pronouncing "footage" like "karaage"

english degree: good luck getting a job, buddy! AI can replace you coding degree: good luck getting a job, buddy! AI can replace you film degree: your deep knowledge of behind the scenes stories from Who Framed Roger Rabbit will delight and entertain coworkers in any field for decades to come

I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

Bluesky feels like it's 60% populated by people who go "Wow, what were they smoking when they came up with this???" when they see a cartoon that has a talking dog in it

TH...THIS IS MY MUG! IT WAS MADE FOR ME!

If you’ve read my book you’ll know it took Blendo a good ten years to culminate in Skin Deep & I think about having ten years of investment for it to marinate and prototype into existence, even something the press describes as ‘small’ or ‘indie’ and not ‘AAA’ www.eurogamer.net/games-of-202...

They gave Balatro an 18+ only rating because it had poker cards in it. Disney Solitaire has literal actual real money gambling with dark pattern lootbox microtransactions and is for ages 3 and above.

I’ve said it and I believe it is true There is a willful forgetting and suppression of the memory of the hundreds of protests that shook this nation for the past decade and a half. So while Canadians and European laypeople whine “Americans don’t do anything,” the Americans are actively suppressed

Visual Studio Code heads-up! The latest update includes the option to use a bunch of Copilot agents. If you detest that stuff like I do, right click the "Finish Setup" box at the bottom of the window and you can "Hide Copilot Status" which I assume means you'll never actually install the damn slop.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

WDYM I can’t watch Dropout on my PlayStation 4

Luddite should be a compliment: Something you should feel good about if you are called it. Luddite means you saw people before price. Luddite means you put community before commodity. Luddite means you put concequence over convenience. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite Be proud.

SELL IT TO WHO, BEN?? FUCKING PUMAMAN??

The thing I can’t get over about American megachurch Christianity is how… tacky it is Like it requires an absolute absence of any taste to appreciate. What if a monster truck rally, but a Sunday sermon
