when it's going really good

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

sorry but mamdani and cuomo should have worn blue and yellow hats, respectively

sincerely, his ability to contain his reaction to this speaks to his readiness to be a politician, in addition to everything else! look around you not one of us could be this chill about it

The judge ruled: “An AI model such as Stable Diffusion which does not store or reproduce any copyright works (and has never done so) is not an ‘infringing copy’.”

Explaining to a computer how capitalism works and what it’s expected to do within it and the first thing that comes up with is overt fraud

Shapiro and Weiss seriously thought they could fan the flames of reactionary politics and it would spare them. Did they think they could spew racist and transphobic bigotry and it not end up growing into a monster that eventually came for them too? They made this bed for all of us.

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

One thing that I think we need to talk about around shame is that shaming is the lowest stakes and most acceptable option for handling this kind of behavior, and if you're going to ignore shame you're really not going to like the other options for how societies handle this stuff.

Suggestion: The AI has to use a square text box with static effects like in paper mario

ok fine here you go blog.giovanh.com/blog/2025/11...

not sure if I'll polish this or do a full writeup but it's fun stash.giovanh.com/toys/lsys.html

browsers love it when you do this. they think it's cool and good

The thing about AI that will be seen as an irremediable, generational failure is the choice to use the same design language as "communicating with a responsible human" to represent something vastly, fundamentally different

It's hard to explain this to someone who doesn't know anything about AI, but this is like if you bought an extremely shitty microphone designed for experiments and then sent a complaint that the other person thought you were confessing a crime, so microphones are unreliable and should be banned.

#gamedev #indiegame #solodev #indiedev with the end of next fest, my first solo game "an unplayable game?!" is officially out for FREE on steam! its a short platformer about accessibility settings and why they're important. only about 5-15 minutes, depending on how fast you figure it out!

We turned our light off hours ago, but they’re still coming to our door, quietly begging. I think they like the flicker of our Jack-o’-lanterns. I can hear them murmuring as they work their fingers along the window casing. Ten hours till morning.

Between believing violent crime is high while it’s as low as it was in the 60’s, the “shoplifting” panic, this, and more, one must understand that the majority of America is living in a completely constructed, terrifying reality untethered from actual world.

The list of types of people who get sent to camps, in the new Trump-branded US, continues to expand. The list is not done expanding.

im tired of repeating this but - trump is an addicted fox news watcher - on fox, the "average" snap recipient is a poor black person. the kind of person the network mocks as a loud, fat, mooch screaming for their "obama phone" - thats why trump and the other gopers say its a dem (BLACK) issue

no, I think 9/11 was inherently straight because we all know planes are girls and towers are boys

Some of the best proof that the market is fake is that if you listen to any business idiot, they're talking about how customers and market share are simply things they can buy if they have enough money, and is totally disconnected from their actual practice. The rare times this fails it's shocking

if merely the success of making a profit is not enough for you--if you feel the need to dominate an entire market and generate endless growth--you have a sickness.

I think we're getting this reputation on account of the U.S. being a police state that punishes free speech

I'm excited to announce that I've got a song in the upcoming Paradox Music Team visual novel RAKKA: WAKE 001 - SOOT! Please wishlist it on Steam and check out the trailer featuring my song "Rarin' To Go"! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NopD...

Watching the gigantic corporations that dominate our economy become increasingly disconnected from such basic concepts as "we should make products people want to buy" and "making money is a good idea" is slowly driving me insane

if there were a law prohibiting me from slapping you with a large trout and i do a bunch of podcasts about how you ought to be slapped with a large trout and i say the law prohibiting me from slapping you with a large trout needs to be changed what do you think i'm trying to do re: you + large trout

the American century of humiliation is in full swing

I'm tempted to resume #egi_ooc but I don't want to alienate 100% of the people who follow me on here

I can't emphasize this enough: millions of Americans live in a fascist bubble. They think we're terrorists who want to kill them. One of the aims in my next book is to demonstrate, with 2000 as an almost arbitrary baseline, how GOP propagandists slowly turned this into common sense.

I think every rationale for why capitalists want RTO is post-hoc. Investments, efficiency, big brother-ing employees, etc. The real reason is an emotional one: physically seeing a group of people who have to pay attention to you and do what you say feels extremely good when you're a sociopath

The more I read the more my confidence that Bovino spent his time on the stand imagining violence against Ellis approaches 100%

This whole exchange has the air of an authoritarian barely tolerating a judge whose power is limited and may soon become even more limited.

It’s hard to over emphasize how important it is to have a real constitution like this. There are things you should not tolerate regardless of any accompanying political or monetary pressure because they are incompatible with decency. “Don’t be evil” is not enough: make a list and stick to it.

The endgame for a lot of information control projects is taking a firehose of real information and running it through your special filter before showing it to people. The problem is if the real information is available people can go to that instead.

for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh. Here's to the Death Generator, eight years and 270ish games later! deathgenerator.com

I was starting on some notes on the prophesy in July but got... interrupted. Not sure if I'll come back to it now, others have had plenty of time to do analysis.

We have a challenge for Roque duck interactive: let me write your game

i'd pay anything to see a papers please style terror incident play out in the world of nothing to declare

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
