You…you can’t just declare a tiny red city (and they’re all tiny) an international hub! That’s not how anything works! INFRASTRUCTURE!!!

No, but, okay, he's not just right on an ethics of art level. He's right in that the only reason these creators are greenlit for these projects is because these are being seen as tech demos. You're not being valued for your art or creativity. You're a fucking sign spinner.

Man muss nur die Asylzahlen in den Griff bekommen, haben sie gesagt. In Österreich gibt es die niedrigsten Antragszahlen seit 15 Jahren. Soeben wurde das Asylrecht zum x-ten Mal massiv verschärft. Ein undankbares Pack, diese Wählerschaft.

ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris. With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.

Every discourse on book Threads is an op. “Some people only read the dialogue in books?!” No they’re not. They’re lying for attention, and you’re being indignant for attention.

THIS HAIRSTYLE SO CUTTIEE

Yes. Pratchett deserves better. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/author-terry-pratchett-film/687253/

I'm sitting here grinding my teeth. They didn't choose. They didn't make a judgement call. They just ran probabilities without regard for the result. It doesn't understand anything, it makes answer-shaped answers. Stop attributing agency to a glorified equation.

media has so much power to normalize things, if we just had more films from the POV of women, boys would absolutely consider that normal I truly think the lack of POV media from women is why so many boys barely think we mentally function as humans today. What else could it even be?

💯💯💯 It's the only reason "man-o-sphere" influencers can get away with portraying women as inscrutable puzzleboxes only they have the cheat codes to. There's nothing telling 12-year-old boys otherwise.

NEW One of the last remnants of primeval temperate woodland in Europe, the Białowieża Forest remains largely unaffected by recent human activity. A new project has uncovered a rich, diverse archaeological landscape, spanning 10,000 years of human presence. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)

We are going to win! This stuff can and will be brought to a halt. None of it is inevitable. Anthropic cannot afford to slow down. It has to grow to at least $100bn a year in revenue or it doesn’t have a hope in hell of paying its compute bills. Same for clammy little Altman.

Es hat die ganze Woche teilweise über 30 Grad meanwhile waren 30 Grad früher halt einfach die Ausnahme und ziemlich speziell, what are we even doing here

Ancient Aliens & other pseudoarchaeology TV shows/podcasts are not harmless entertainment. The purpose is to separate Indigenous people from their cultural history to support white supremacy. We need our own art & entertainment to combat disinformation pseudoscience, which is why I wrote FALSE FLAG

Again: it’s part of why I had a “no AI in any aspect of production” put into my advance contract this time.

If you follow this account, I can't recommend the newsletter enough. In-depth look at the techniques and creative decisions with stories straight from the animators' mouths. Like, why do his arms wave like that? Such a joy to read.

With its new AI-based "search," Google is literally killing the infrastructure that its entire business is built on. Instead of linking people to the web, it will lock users into an "interactive" mode that slorps up data what is rapidly becoming the now-neglected and unvisited web. (1/3)

Anders als BigTech-Lobbyisten behaupten, liegt Europas Chance bei der KI-Entwicklung nicht in einer Imitation von Trumps Deregulierungspolitik. Im Gegenteil: Nur durch die Regulierung von #KI können wir digital unabhängig & wirtschaftlich erfolgreich werden. Warum und wie schreibe ich hier:👇 #rp26

Apparently some more gutter dwellers are weighing in with anger about Achilles being bisexual in the Nolan Odyssey or something and look I'm no scholar of Greek history but I have Seen Some Things on ancient Greek pottery in museums that make me think it's not a stretch.

Rumour has it there are five more arrest warrants for Israeli nationals, 3 politicians, two members of the armed forces. Guess no genocide charge (after Khan's recent statements) but so what. Crimes were committed. Whether it's war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide isn't essential.

Verrückter Fakt des Tages: #vfdt Die Fledermaus Myotis lucifugus kann nur Töne oberhalb von ca. 8-10 kHz hören. Das ist der Bereich, der für ältere Menschen bereits unhörbar hoch ist. Wir und die Fledermaus leben also in getrennten Hör-Welten. Der Song Contest ist für die Fledermaus völlig umsonst.

The guys who complain about "woke ideology" in art never grasp that they're so blinkered by ideological fixations themselves that it makes them incapable of understanding artistic choices, and why you might not WANT a movie of The Odyssey to look like a marketing photo for a cruise.

You're really telling on yourself if you think Troy is faithful to Homer. (Also, do these folks realize that Troy is based on The Iliad, a completely separate story than The Odyssey?)

The Iliad ends with "And that was the funeral of Hector, Breaker of Horses", which I don't think any adaptation has EVER done. Except Kendare Blake, sort of. You can't be faithful to the stories. They aren't faithful to each other.

นี่ว่าในจวนจิ่งหยวนน่าจะมีห้องเก็บอาวุธด้วย ถึงจะถนัดวางกลยุทธ์ แต่ก็เป็นคนชอบวิชาดาบมาตั้งแต่เด็ก ในห้องนั้นน่าจะมีทั้งอาวุธบรรณาการ และอาวุธที่ใช้ฝึกมาแต่เด็ก เยี่ยนชิงเองคงเห็นโรลโมเดลนี้ด้วย สมัยเด็กคงเคยเข้าไปเห็นห้องนั้น แล้วก็คิดว่า สักวันจะมีห้องเก็บดาบเยอะๆแบบท่านนายพล!

I think the best way to enjoy this list, which contains lots of predictable choices (made as it was by committee), is to find a book you like, click to see who voted for it, and then look at the voters' other top 10 choices. You might find something else you like that you haven't read.

If the actor with British accent is evil then you’re watching Sci fi. If the actor with a British accent is good then it’s Fantasy. If the actor with a British accent knocks something over then it’s a Rom com.

„in der Tat ist die Geringschätzung der Menschenrechte als etwas Sentimentales und Schwaches eine sehr alte Vorstellung. Auch die Verdrängung der Berichterstattung und Faktenüberprüfung durch Propaganda und Versuche, den Zugang zu Information zu kontrollieren und zu manipulieren, sind nichts Neues“

It is very weird for me to see someone say (not linking, bad person) in a discussion of children's autonomy, that young children are like dogs in that they can't reason and don't get bodily autonomy and consent.

Es gibt eine erstaunlich große Schnittmenge zwischen denen, die weniger Geld für Sprach- und Integrationskurse ausgeben wollen & jenen, die sich anschließend über angeblich mangelhafte Integration von Zugezogenen beschweren.

Gut dass sich die New York Times getraut und diesen Text veröffentlicht hat. Vergessen wir aber nicht, dass die sexuelle Gewalt an palästinensischen Gefangenen seit Langem dokumentiert ist. B‘Tselem hat 2024 und 2026 Berichte dazu veröffentlicht, Al Jazeera 2024 eine eigene Recherche.
