The idea of funding the arts is so foreign to conservatives that they assume a $90,000 grant is a sign of a global conspiracy

All the developers 404 Media talked to were excited to try using LLMs at work at first, or were at least curious about them. Their feelings about the tools, based on their personal experience, are now overwhelmingly negative. AI is rotting their brains www.404media.co/software-dev...

“We’re relieved to report that, aside from some minor ripples and dribbling, the mayor is currently in a safe fluid state,” said Dr. Francine Gaynor, adding that Giuliani would continue to be monitored around the clock for any sloshing that might indicate further structural deterioration.

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

been having a verbal shutdown today and while they do suck, i wish we could somehow weaponise this against podcast bros

Be sure to tell all your friends where they can get 1200+ commercial use fonts for all their game dev and graphic design needs ci.itch.io/all-fonts-pack

This is precisely how a government sets up the framework to install a backdoor, create a firewall, and switch off the internet when it's convenient for them.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

📢 The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission will probe allegations of misconduct against officers after receiving multiple complaints.

‘Social cohesion’ is apparently when police punch peaceful protesters and grapple men who are just praying

Jon Kudelka was not just the creator of the best tea towel in Australian history, and a great cartoonist and artists, but he was a superb friend, incredible husband and dad. Goddamn I will miss him

People who believe in “Ethical AI” must also believe in warm refrigerators, edible toxic waste, and billionaires who prefer to fuck adults.

"They're being so vague and the language could be describing either option."

UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too! *Your* right to anonymous web browsing is at risk! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/754408

Impeach, convict, remove.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there. Puberty Blocker bans harm trans kids, no-one should pretend they don’t.

Here's how to support human artists! 🎨

so far the only concrete thing ai has done is make the entire tech market worse and every consumer facing tech product less usable or accessable

Could all the American influencers pushing in tandem for more guns in Australian just Fuck. The. Hell. Off. Thank you.
