I wonder how much of the counter-counter-AI discourse is fueled by billionaires trying to milk as much money from the bubble as possible before it pops vs. how much is from the business world as a whole who are desperately trying to keep the bubble from popping because it's the entire economy atp

Shoutout to everyone who choose to create in spite of everything

This is a bad market. Lots of bad people.

Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

truly, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart: fuck ai

Unless the "new creative possibility through AI technology" is a computer showing an empty chatGPT prompt window being smashed by a baseball bat, I don't want to hear it.

why do these chuds all speak like 4th grade bullies

I'm manifesting this with all my might

Let's check in on how Epic Games is doing after laying off more than 1,000 people in March

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

hey so lots going on i know but this right here is a whole fucking slow motion ongoing tragedy

Five nights at Freddys guy can continuously donate to republicans, jk Rowling can ruin entire branches of politics with a hatred legal defense fund, but the digital circus and Steven universe creators were queer and made choices fans didn't like and for that they get hate campaigns to ruin them.

If someone wants to leak me a copy of this app (either .apk or .ipa), please reach out on Signal — my username is zackwhittaker.1337 — and I would be keen to run this app through Burp Suite to see how it works. Happy to grant anonymity.

space exploration is neat, but earth is one of the rarest jewels in the universe, and we should just work to curate it with the reverence it deserves

The Labour Party is a hollow corpse full of worms

Pepper was a feral we were fostering through Stray Cat Alliance. His vet bills for diagnosis were over $8000, and SCA covered that cost. If anyone would like to make a donation to Stray Cat Alliance to help cover the costs that Pepper incurred in his final days: straycatalliance.org/donate/

it is so wild to admit in stories like these that you had $80 million dollars in podcast revenue and were laying people off left and right.

Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™

vibe coding sucks ass and anyone who thinks generative AI is anything less than an unmitigated disaster in literally every aspect is a loser

A century and a half of capital-C Conservative and lowercase-c conservative Liberal "leadership" has gutted Canada. We need a transformative party in power.

Vancouver is asking for opinions about a proposed data center :))) have at it! www.shapeyourcity.ca/111-e-5

i have yet to see a single cis person say something about the fact that the government just designated trans people a terrorist group and threatened to kill all of us.

I… It defies fucking parody.

They suspended @cara.city for this!!! Dogshit website run by absolute babies. It is a Serious Violation to point out that the head of trust and safety’s pants fell down and everyone saw his little red ass and laughed

this is the bare minimum you should be doing when defending your employees. making a statement and proving you support them sets the standard and expectation that these people cannot bully companies into firing employees they dont like

if ai ever works as it’s been sold to us, the most easily replaced employee of every company would be ceo and as far as i can tell theres never been a single article written about that

I suspect that the Powers That Be looooove AI because it disengages your brain and softens your thinking. Your free thought, your imagination, gets unplugged and into the socket, the AI node goes. And they control that node. Which means they control your mind. So: they start with kids.

good tweet

don't worry everyone

Happy May Day. The cause of labor is the hope of the world

In case anyone ever had the passing thought of "at least Canada has competent governance at the federal level" We do not. Carney is a Conservative in a Liberal skin suit. He's a terrible PM. www.thestar.com/politics/car...

there's something disgusting about cis ppl using hrt for sexual kicks while calling me a pervert for using it to reduce suicidal ideation.

Reminder that socialism isn't a poverty vow.

I had better see a record number of reposts on this.

after replaying this game recently, it holds up stronger than it ever has. it has a scathing view of individualism, greed, and consumerism and very effectively calls anyone that worships these concepts as ideals Selfish Adult Children. Living in current year under these types is in fact hell

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Fuck the cruise ship industry.

This weekend I gave a presentation to a group of mostly college-aged folks and had a little line at the beginning of my slides that described it as an "AI-free presentation made by a human, for humans" and I had to pause for clapping at that part you love to see it

whoa hey you can't just call out the entire website reddit dot com like that
