From another Tumblr post: I can't die yet. I have too many graves to dance on that are yet undug.

Everyone upset about “America bad” posting needs to reckon with this being what America does

Welp, we have internet back... again... lost connectivity again at about 11:30 or noon, and it just came back. I do not trust it to be stable today, so going to punt on streaming. We'll try for tomorrow, hopefully. Sigh.

If you inexplicably feel the urge to help Nestlé with ANYTHING, maybe remember the 10+ million infants they murdered in the last half century

Having had my books banned, help support our librarians on the front line, especially Luanne who stood up to the book-banners.

I don't know about you, but it feels like AI proponents are getting off lightly with the level of scorn directed at them, all things considered. They've earned so much worse. Frankly, I'd like to see Sam Altman criminally liable for the deaths his chatbots caused. As a start.

Siiiigh... so, he had an internet outage here from yesterday afternoon at roughly 4pm Eastern until just now. No idea if it is fully back up or not atm, we'll see. Assuming things remain as-is, there will be a stream this afternoon. Not sure what game yet. We'll see.

The same people who told me I can't have an easy mode on Dark Souls because it sullies the experience and I do l just needed to gitgud are the same ones using "AI" to write because writing is too hard, and they can see neither the hypocrisy nor the difference.

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

Reminder: Tomorrow’s oral argument in Trump v. Barbara will not tell us whether the Constitution guarantees birthright citizenship We already know that it does, and we have known it for a long time What it will show, though, is how far gone this Supreme Court is ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

Okay, stream is going live for the afternoon. We're returning to Faerun for some more BG3 shenanigans. twitch.tv/mechagm/

This is what I reckon! Happy International Transgender Day Of Visibility. 🩷

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

I think about this every time I encounter AI, in every context and discussion Does anyone have a good reader or primer or answer for this? Are current approaches to eg OCR or speech to text measurably different in ways that rely on what we could think of AI compared to just...computers doing stuff?

Lol. LMAO.

So that explains why everything is buggy.

Imagine claiming to be a Star Trek fan while expressing disdain for at least 90% of what Star Trek is (and always has been)

Stream is going live for the afternoon. We'll be doing our usual Monday Mecha Mayhem in BattleTech Advanced Universe today. :) twitch.tv/mechagm/

Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

that's.......the whole entire point of star trek

No, fuck off.

The bluesky address is @attie.ai and it really needs to be in the top five accounts blocked on this platform. This is honestly some of the most tonedeaf shit I’ve seen from BS and thats saying something

Okay folks. Stream is going live for the afternoon. We'll be playing more Baldur's Gate 3 today. Let's see how far we can get today, shall we? :) twitch.tv/mechagm/

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

We wish a very happy birthday to Marina Sirtis, who played Counselor Deanna Troi on Star Trek: The Next Generation, then on Voyager, Enterprise, Lower Decks, and in four movies—and again in Star Trek: Picard. LLAP!

They're also misandrist, in a way that I'm very serious about. We make it impossible for men to even discuss their experiences of rape.

@attie.ai, for those who wanna press the funny buttons too

Daily reminder than Epic sucks

Stream will be in roughly 2 hours or so today, and we'll be continuing the BG3 playthrough we started on Friday. Hope to see y'all then. :)

maybe its the children who are wrong but i think the democratic frontrunner for president endorsing a mandatory 18-month military requirement should be enough for other candidates to jump in and say shut the fuck up you pencil-pushing shinra marketing director?

Sweet Jesus...

Oh this is scary...

Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution. There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.

The idea that (white) American farmers and ranchers are the "true volk" while cities are a sore on the body politic, filled with greedy merchants and mobs of laborers, is the foundational, racist blood-and-soil myth of America that still pervades all of society including mainstream media.

For those unaware Also, please understand that people use ko-fi for mutual aid, etc. Telling them to simply pack it up is insane; Ko-fi is their lifeline Call out Ko-fi in hopes they reverse their decision.

Also...what do you think happens to a person's belongings after eviction? They don't just disappear. #homeless #socialjustice

Alrighty folks. Stream is going live on Twitch for the afternoon. We'll be starting a playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3. Hope to make actual progress for once. XD twitch.tv/mechagm/

Sakura Bakushin O is going to Bakushin down to the expo hall and show Pax East the most efficient way to Bakushin!

if you can reinterpret the 14th amendment to mean something other than what it obviously means it is stone cold proof that there is no legislative language, no matter how clear, that cannot be twisted into “2+2=5” at the behest of the corrupt partisan hacks who call themselves “justices”

this is a huge deal!

So, tomorrow I will be starting up my attempt at a Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough. I'm currently leaning towards a CHA-based character, just for the interaction rolls. My current main idea is a Bard (maybe Valor?) with a splash of Hexblade Warlock. Thoughts? (or other party face type suggesions?)

Stream is going live for the afternoon. We'll be playing some Warframe today. We'll also be discussing the plan for tomorrow's stream, which will likely be the start of the new BG3 playthrough attempt. twitch.tv/mechagm/

The actual reality of what’s going on with NASA is a real trip when juxtaposed with what a hit the NASA-saturated “Project Hail Mary” film seems to be. I wonder how many people who enjoyed the film are aware of just how much this admin has shanked all the cool real-world research it featured.

Holy fuck

I guess it's time to finally leave #DeviantArt. To make this announcement at the exact time #Sora finally f**king croaks, proving AI-generated video is yet another billionaire tech CEO brain fart just proves DA management's disgusting tone-deafness. And they're using #Grok as one of their models! 😡
