Environ 336000 signataires pour la pétition contre Duplomb 2 : c'est trop peu ; et il s'agit vraiment de se réveiller pour empêcher cette mesure de destruction de notre santé (n'hésitez pas à republier ce post ou à alerter vos propres abonnés) : petitions.assemblee-nationale.fr/initiatives/...

La cryptomonnaie pour les nuls ! Simple, efficace ... #HumourDouteux

Il y a un an, je me suis marié avec la personne la plus drôle, futée et belle du multivers, à savoir @savoir_sevandre (sur Instagram), qui fabrique ce genre de choses et me sauve de la médiocrité ambiante chaque jour que [insert your favorite deity] fait. Merci à elle 🥰

It's a competitive field but this might be the stupidest thing I've heard about ai

This is where I YET AGAIN encourage people, especially creators, to have, develop and actively maintain their own websites where people can find you, away from the social media sites you don't own and/or can't control and/or whose discoverability algorithms are at the whim of billionaire weirdos.

I was part of the first wave of blogs back in the day, and have persisted since, which, yes, makes me a rarity. I do other social media too (waves), but decided early on that one place was always going to be my "home" online, and it was the place that I could control, not advertisers or tech dudes.

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

not only is this completely absurd at face value (genAI has, so far, destroyed many lives, and i'm not sure it has even saved one), it also lends itself to a much more radical interpretation: that anti-AI people are the Enemy of Humanity. it's uncomfortably close to a call for stochastic violence...

yeah, i similarly like to point to Andreessen's manifesto, specifically his point about how any negativity around AI is *literally murder*: > We believe any deceleration of AI will cost lives. Deaths that were preventable by the AI that was prevented from existing is a form of murder.

But that surface layer is just that. There are deep strata of fantastic things if you're able to find them. Every time I go digging I find something that blows me away.

I am seeing SO much doom and gloom on social media about how there's no good games in this Next Fest, and how it's all just AI slop. This is not the case. But while I can partly attribute to this being a skill issue, the larger issue is that Steam's interface and recommendations are getting worse.

Parce que les gens soi-disant anti-système qui le quittent pour faire autre chose, jusqu'à présent, iels ont fait quoi ? De la thune comme Céline Alvarez, des écoles alternatives privées et qui coûtent la peau des fesses. Vraiment super...

En attendant, je me sens quand même blessée quand je lis à gauche que tous.tes les collègues handi.e.s sont forcément validistes, que si on reste dans ce système, on est forcément complices, qu’on doit monter à nous seul.e.s une école alternative (super, et elle sera pour qui, à votre avis ?).

Bon, je vais expliquer ma pensée. Je pense que dans notre monde, rares sont les emplois vraiment éthiques (voire ça n'existe pas). On travaille presque tous.tes pour des patrons/ un état dégueulasses. Si on est indépendant, ben faut aussi vendre donc faire de la pub etc. Mais on a aussi besoin de

Dans les 9 villes dirigées par le RN, 7 ont vu leur taux de criminalité augmenter. Plusieurs conclusions : - La réponse ultra-sécuritaire est inefficace - Le RN vous vend un paradis débarrassé de la délinquance, mais est incapable de la faire reculer - Le RN vous ment, encore, toujours

No generative AI was used in creating The Mermaid Mask - this game is the result of nothing less than a small group of very talented artists working hard for a long time! A shame it even has to be said, but it's important to restate our values when making games: No GenAI. Ever.

Gavin Newsom & the New York Times are doggedly working to strip rights and human recognition from transfolk, while insisting anyone who *doesn't* share their obsession is obsessed with "pronouns". Trust no one who claims to oppose Trump while taking delight in bullying the same people Trump bullies.

excited to hear tech companies will now be allowed to build their own power plants for their data centers. i am sure the makers of "the app that tells kids to kill themselves" will responsibly operate coal plants

Today's "AI" book club spam has thoughts on a book of mine that won't be out until November, and that, currently, only five people, including me, have read in its entirety. Soon to be six, when it gets given to the copy editor. Only obvious conclusion: THE SPAM BOOK CLUBS HAVE TIME TRAVEL, PEOPLE

No way lara..... [ #tombraider #laracroft ##samlara #ssendurance]

We as a society really need to start assuming (publicly, constantly) that people who conflate being queer with being a danger to children are themselves pedophiles. The response to "We have to protect kids from trans ideology" should be "Okay groomer" It's cathartic, but also usually correct.

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

Let me tell you, you haven't lived until you've litigated against a pro se plaintiff who refuses to get a lawyer and only corresponds via overlong chatGPT-drafted missives which often include devastating admissions.

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

Your graphs and stats are meaningless to me in light of that experience, I just wanna talk about games and movies and keep up with creatives I like WITHOUT BEING SPAMMED WITH GRAPHIC VIDEO AND IMAGES OF PEOPLE BEING MURDERED!

"The Jews created pornography to undermine the family" is quite literally the fourteenth of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Not great to see left-wing accounts with 700,000 followers saying this sort of thing.

lil OC doodle they are very fascinated by mortal "artifacts"

You don't have to come here, but you can't stay on the Nazi child abuse site and come here to scold people over doing internet wrong. Ever since fucking Usenet and BBSes people have been shits online, don't come here to tell us bluesky is uniquely terrible.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

i think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident

Encore une fois, on avait raison : le service de vérification d'âge employé par Discord compare secrètement vos selfies avec des listes gouvernementales.

I lived through publishers telling me constantly that NFTs and Crypto games were the future and I needed to get on the train and design them or I'd be left behind. I said NO. I'll outlast "AI generated games" too. That's an oath. #gamedev #games

Je vois pas mal de messages disant "alors moi je connais Martine Vassal, attention elle est pas pétainiste, elle est juste con comme une meule !" Mais il y avait un piège en réalité, car le saviez-vous ? On peut être à la fois pétainiste ET con comme une meule ! Eh oui, ne vous faites pas avoir !

Je viens de lire en réaction : "de façon assez connue, l'apprentissage humain requiert TRÈS PEU d'énergie. Un bambin peut apprendre des milliers de mots et une grammaire juste en mangeant des framboises avant d'apprendre à lire. Les LLM demandent un réacteur nucléaire et tout Internet comme corpus."

Est-ce qu’il y a des Vendéens qui me suivent? Je voulais savoir si vous aviez des exemples de villages rivaux en Vendée contemporaine, genre ambiance tendue (pour des raisons stupides ou non) si un habitant de l’un traverse l’autre

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

On might like to go fishing with friends even on a #cutiesaturday

It seems like the majority of people are just looking at the headline and interpreting this as another "whoops! user data got leaked! our bad!" What was actually exposed was code used in Persona's software. Code showing that this company is doing A LOT MORE THAN CHECKING YOUR AGE.
