Absolutely dreadful. I hope this bloke gets awarded 5% of their worldwide turnover. (and another 50% goes to the journalists and creators whose work powers AI overviews, but have seen their revenues crash because people don't click through any more). www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try." Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

I have had an art block for 15 years, not being able to bring any of my attempts to completion. Finally I have managed to push through it and got something done! I decided to not worry about details and work on getting shape and shade looking decent this time while getting familiar with Procreate.

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal. The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright. (Link: www.reuters.com/legal/govern...)

Google is running a “small” experiment in being a colossal piece of corporate shit.

I am not Norwegian, but have been living and paying taxes in Norway for 20 years, and this is deeply shameful.

Norway's national wealth fund owns 1,22% of Palantir. That makes it - and every Norwegian through it - Palantirs #1 European investor and 6th largest investor overall.

It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke. This is not a joke. We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

weird queers need to figure out how to make a bank. I know this has a level of complexity that I can't even begin to comprehend, but if I'm fully just dreaming that seems like the only way to fight payment processors as an othering / dividing / censoring force.

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

This may end up being a massive own goal for the Trump administration.

The EU has just voted, by a VERY wide margin, for the full recognition of trans women as women…!

Having a chat with a coworke about generative AI (while waiting for another group to get their work done so we can do something today), and the accidental banger of "About the only thing current 'AI' generates for me is disappointment" has been instantly burned into my vocabulary.

The answer to this should be 'don't care' and to keep hammering them until they cease this shit entirely.

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

This is huge news. I have spent the past 6 months wondering wtf was up with Amazon: they filed 380,000 AI-related CyberTipline reports to NCMEC in the first half of 2025. Turns out ALL of it was known CSAM they found by screening their AI training data. It's NOT AI-generated or AI-morphed CSAM.

If someone claimed to come from two weeks into the future and told me that Minnesota just seceded from the Union… I’d believe them.

I need to know if Americans in general understand this, because Europeans 💯 understand this.

The EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. If you're a European hippie communist, you can provide input: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... for details on how to contribute.

PSA: Our roadmap for 2026:

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

If you are still on X/Twitter in any capacity as an artist, get off there right freaking now.

Can't believe I have to say this. Fuck AI. It isn't even real Artificial Intelligence. There's no Intelligence at all with the current "AI" and it's an insult to people working on actual machine intelligence

I apologise for the tech illiteracy of the UK government, which is now trying to ban VPNs for under 18s, after it passed an ill-advised law requiring age verification for porn. decoded.legal/blog/2025/12...

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Periodic reminder to check if you could recover from getting permamently locked out of your Google/Apple/... account tomorrow.

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.
