Game Devs Reveal All Their Ugly Placeholder Assets Made Without AI Who needs AI when you can make ugly and very charming placeholder assets like this? kotaku.com/crimson-dese...

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

they're Jeffrey's tubes they belong to Jeffrey everybody else get the fuck out

the thing that’s been painfully obvious for years is that unchecked capital accumulation paired with gutting the social safety net and public goods was going to lead to commerce without customers. an economy built on consumption when no one has money to consume.

And this isn't even new! These resume-grading AIs have been in use for about a decade and are also the reason why hiring managers have no idea who you are and have never seen your resume when you call them to follow up. The AI tool gave you a low score and so they never bother to look.

happy pride

PLUS a brushfire a half mile down the canyon behind my house so good times! SDG&E should be all over it 'cause there's a power station down there but spraying down the roof anyway.

Definitely reached "willing to cut a bitch" at work today because people do not seem to understand that once we lock the front doors, it means you can't come inside.

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

New MAPHRA! and I'm crying youtube.com/watch?v=uGSx...

what we're seeing isn't just the rise of youtubers, the dominance of horror, or some indie groundswell, it's because hollywood's 20 year reliance on franchises no one under 40 gives a shit about has finally come home to roost

Pride BEFORE 40 in some cases

if you cant bust a nut to a 43 year old suburban house mom then thats a skill issue homie

This guy has been a "progressive" for all of five minutes and hasn't held office. His "record" is: prep boy who wanted to kill people, became a mercenary to kill more, got a Nazi tattoo, spent time abusing women and posting misogyny, then ran for Senate. When did he "transform"? A week ago? A day?

ONE OF THE MANY WAYS I AM IN SERVICE OF THIS TIMELINE

Have you ever noticed that capitalists refuse to engage with socialist ideas on a base level and instead exclusively come at the conversation from the angle of wanting to protect the worst abuses of capitalism at all costs?

Christ, you're the governor of the entire state. Shut the building down. It's not sovereign territory like a foreign embassy. Pull the certificate of occupancy. Cut the power. Back it up with state police. Stop coddling fascists and groveling every time they order you around. Act like an American.

I'm not even remotely joking when I say that it comes down to the Munsters and the Addamses. They were unfailingly there for their families and did right by them when you come right down to it.

I always love it when absolute hacks and assholes demand that you "respect" them as if they deserve respect by default, are in no way required to do anything to earn that respect, and in fact nothing they do is allowed to make them lose that right to be respected.

This bill is legitimately the thing we've been waiting for. Forcing AI to reveal it's sources would cripple it, because it literally can't comply with the law, because all of it is stolen- they didn't record it Please sign to hasten the bubble popping

I mean, that's a great strategy if you want the political Overton window to perpetually shift to the right until we just reinvent feudilasim.

this is The Babadook erasure

Happy Pride Month 🌈

yes, of course yer a writer if you use AI, in the same way a cheese grater creates cheese.

This was pretty inevitable. Manipulating SEO is one thing — but eventually you can manipulate reality (false reality, to be clear) with AI. Just ask me about my quantum cats.

First day on the job and you want respect? Go right up to the most recognizable and respected guy in the newsroom and have him yell at you until you cry. Then it's time to send him a weepy email telling him how disappointed you were that he did all that. Shouldn't have any trouble after that.

That's like saying "people don't drink coke instead of antifreeze because the coke tastes better, they drink it because the can is red." Like, sir, not only are you entirely missing the point but your argument doesn't even make sense on its face and yet now it's US legal precedent.

I still think about this line a lot. (delivered by Lisa Kudrow no less!)

This is such a good point. Regular people who become obsessive about anything generally are only able to do so because of a lack of anything to distract them from that obsession. If all you have is free time, it's easy to fill it up with hatred or conspiracy theories. Get a hobby!

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

Bowie is attempting to learn to howl with the coyotes. Pretty good for a first try.

Some of those who work forces Are the same who burn crosses

"Candy Crush businessman" - i'm gonna stop you right there. I do not care what this man thinks about research or science. I honestly thought this was an onion article lol

the straights™ beginning tomorrow:

This Talrico "God is both masculine and feminine" thing might be the best opprotunity Dems have to hammer Christian Nationalists with the obvious fact that they don't actually believe the Bible. What Talrico said is widely accepted as fact by virtually all Christian, Catholic, and Jewish scholars.

Sometimes, in order to truly enjoy a story, you just need to completely ignore the knowledge that the ability to duplicate any item as many times as you want, for free, and the ability to grant that power to others WOULD, in fact collapse the entire economy.

we may think statements like this aren’t enough and don’t matter, but an extremely normie, super-Christian woman I work with is *obsessed* with Pedro Pascal and completely reworked her priors regarding trans rights solely because of his opinions on the matter

Miss Baby Grandma has apparently dug a hole for her butt. A butthole, if you will.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

End stage capitalism is just a race between emotionally crippled man-children to come up with the most creative way to steal money from anyone poorer than them. That's it. That's the -entire- game.

The first ever trillionaire will become a trillionaire by using political power to bend the rules of financial markets to force everybody’s retirement accounts to invest in his company
