“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

Look at this absolute queen

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

We've just uploaded a new #Transformers G1 restored scene from the S3 episode #Starscream’s Ghost. This short video adds back the missing line "Should I talk now?" from Octane. youtu.be/CD4JmjGT5i8 Thanks to Paul Davids for the audio & @grimdm.bsky.social for the clean-up. More Soon!

I cannot understate this: Killing Vol'jin off is singlehandedly the thing that pisses me off more than anything else in fiction. I don't care if they "make up for it" by making him a Loa that unites all zandali. It was a dipshit move that made no sense and fucked up logical future lore paths.

Game developers were here first. Not executives. Game developers make games. Not executives. Game developers have skills & knowledge important to the business. Not executives. Game developers deserve to keep their jobs. Not executives. Executives are replaceable. Not game developers.

It’s transgender awareness week, so if you weren’t already aware, you are transgender

This is so fucking gross and holy shit I hate tech companies

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

if youre canadian, its a very good idea to be contacting your representatives in govt about Bill S-209, and stressing that age verification policies do not protect people, and in fact make them less safe.

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically

Let's say GO! ⭐🗡️ #Transformers #maccadam #StarSaber

protest for Palestine in Shibuya Tokyo !

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Whenever I see something “powered by AI”

REAL COMPASSION? IS NOT EASY. IS NOT JUST FEELING SORRY FOR SOMEONE. WHEN WE HELP OTHERS, WE GIVE TIME! ENERGY! COMPASSION COST SOMETHING! DAT WHY IT MEAN SOMETHING! REAL CARING TAKE EFFORT AND SACRIFICE! BUT WURTH IT! CUZ WHEN YOU HELP CARRY SOMEONE’S BURDEN, YOU BOTH GET STRONGER.

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

Dude someone in my neighborhood has a TRANS-former car. This is so rad lmao

there is no position more esteemed than that of the one OC that you remake in every video game in a character creator

"When you bring the element of policing into a mental health crisis of any kind, the risks can increase exponentially — even becoming deadly: According to the Washington Post, over a three-year period, police officers shot and “killed the individuals they were called to assist” at least 178 times."

This isn't like the average online petition btw, this is one of those things where if it gets enough signatures, the HOC absolutely must bring it to the floor for discussion. Incredibly important to get on this if you're Canadian.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

The Palestinian-led BDS movement has updated our priority targets, pressure targets and organic campaign targets.

It's my birthday today!! ^^ I'd love some reposts/likes if possible. Maybe I can reach 900 followers as well? Who knows! Either way, I'm excited and feel like it's gonna be a good day 🥰

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Even better? This art was drawn by a nonbinary/transmasc person.

Say what you will about Go-Bots, but Tonka and Hanna-Barbera had the right idea when it came to female characters: "they're fucking toy robots, kids aren't gonna care that some of them are girls".

The Canadian Parliament building illuminated in the colors of the Ukrainian flag in solidarity with Ukraine, commitment to democracy, and as a sign of eternal friendship and unity. Nearly 1.3 million Ukrainians call Canada home. #3E #StandWithUkraine

World Central Kitchen got fired on in Gaza by Israel, had members killed, and went back anyway because people shouldn't have to starve to death. This is an amazing humble bundle.

updated, should work for mississippi block as well

People see art they find gross or that depicts something that is wrong in real life and go nuts saying it's illegal. Bro. Rape and csem aren't illegal because they're gross, they're illegal because they harm people. Art of fictional characters doing gross stuff is not harming people.

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"

I did a birthday present to myself: a video essay about the two versions of Star Saber and how interesting they actually are when compared to one another, and how they make an accidentally perfect dark mirror of the other! Also is it gauche to tag @jroberts332.bsky.social, youtu.be/fikyQz97Coc
