Wrecking young people's reading, writing & analytical skills during their formative years is an economic imperative for AI companies. For many of us who learned these things without AI, slop can't pass for news or entertainment. Destroying standards is essential to the industry's growth & survival.

I like to think @fdsignifier.bsky.social took this down and only reuploaded it now solely so that I would not watch it and then ruin Thanksgiving with my family (It was actually because of YouTube bs, if you've already watched it do him a solid and rewatch it because re-uploads usually tank views)

KOSA is never about protecting kids. It’s anti-queer and about making sure kids don’t have access to information they need to survive - from health basics to knowing they are not alone and not broken. And it will destroy the internet as we know it.

All of this happened in the time span of an anime opening

In case you were wondering where to send your thoughts on the AI "dub" of Banana Fish, you can do so here. Be polite--and I *mean* that--but so long as you're polite, feel free to let them know exactly how you feel about the AI "dub."

Toxic masculinity mixed with poor media literacy.

Returning to Elden Ring after not touching it for a year. Loaded up an old Intelligence character I ran that never beat the endgame bosses. I’d like to think I haven’t lost my touch considering I beat Mohg in four tries but Elphael’s been kicking my ass like it’s my first playthrough again.

Ever since watching that last Twilight movie I seem to have developed a terrible tendency to find Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” out in the wild. I did not hate that song before, but now I’m extremely over hearing it.

The boss bringing out Pizza might as well be Defcon 1 (or whatever) for places like this. Please keep calling! Especially the next 5 days!

The worst form of brain worm I’ve developed with wanting to try a game that’s clearly inspired by something else, then deciding I need to play that inspiration as “homework” for the thing I actually want to play.

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖 Hint. Fucking. Hint.

Nobody's clamouring for AI games, nobody's mad that games don't feature AI, there's a total and utter lack of demand for it. The only demand is from business heads who think it'll save them money, audiences and creatives are rejecting it.

I do not enjoy reheated Wish discourse on the timeline again. I have not seen the film and I’m not exactly in a hurry to do so, but there’s no reason why I should see mutuals dragging its corpse out for more public floggings in 2025.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices. If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

very irritating whenever anyone acts like a relative handful of incel nazi internet dwellers are representative of an entire generation. in reality when that generation see a more left-wing option on offer they flock to it

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

#SaveSpeech Ana's situation has gotten more severe. This is blatantly targetted debanking and [extremely unfortunate] proof that these call campaigns are getting under paypros skin Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content! stop-paypros.neocities.org

Show Ganon, you cowards.

E33 does very few new things, it's just that people who dismissed jrpgs without looking at them at all went apeshit cause they thought all this shit was new, which is both funny and mind-numbingly infuriating

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.

So like is Toby Fox blacklisted from TGA or something?

"And the 2025 Gaming Oscar for 'Best Boss Fight of 2025' goes to..." The host opens the envelope. "'Big Moai Controlled By A Smaller Moai' from Salamander III!" The crowd erupts in applause. The camera cuts to the Roaring Knight in the audience, who is clapping politely but visibly perturbed

FNAF should be just as toxic to queer people as Harry Potter and it isn’t. That is rather disappointing.

It is looking increasingly likely that Ana - probably the person most involved in organizing protests against payment processor censorship recently - is getting hit by retaliation by those organizations.

If I was this baby I would be so mad they made me miss out on the PS2 era

Happened to be listening to this when I watched this and I just think it's beautiful

It is done.

When the US liberated Nazi concentration camps, many queer people stayed in prison because they were seen as having broken the law. Indeed, Paragraph 175, which criminalized gay intercourse in Weimar Germany & had been expanded to include intent by the Nazis, was not abolished by the US after WWII.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Been laughing at this for about 10 minutes.

Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression! A dual pronged offense requires a dual pronged defense!

It’s a difficult job to write dramatic tension between two friends but one of them made a big mistake based on pre-established character motivations while still keeping both likable to the audience, but it’s honest work.

People are always doing too much when talking about the politics and optics of country music, but a Trump supporter getting a hit off a song made famous by the Chicks genuinely turns my fucking stomach

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Morgan Freeman is taking legal action over AI clones of his voice “I'm a little pissed off... don’t mimic me with falseness. I don’t appreciate it and I get paid for doing stuff like that, so if you’re gonna do it without me, you're robbing me” (Source: www.theguardian.com/film/ng-inte...)

Hilarious that Yoshi was supposed to be the big draw of seeing this second Mario movie and Nintendo/Illumination still refuse to show him off in an official context. This either tells me they think their leaked Yoshi render is too embarrassing to show or they think he’s a bigger deal than Rosalina.

21 pages on one chapter is probably not the healthiest record to set in terms of “beginner authors” but I guess that’s just how this one is turning out lol.

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear: 1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people 2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

Turns out it’s rather difficult to write 3.5 chapters of a story when you give yourself a deadline of essentially half a week. Oops.

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off. Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory
