If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

the best thing i took from this was karen hao's update on content moderation workers - they're organizing! which, she suggests, is why there is so much more 'AI is mechanical turk' news now. in my work my colleagues & i often think of the least powerful person in a system as the linchpin...

Makes me think of @histoftech.bsky.social’s argument about early computer dating services: the illusion that a machine is choosing for you or generating something is incredibly seductive. We’ve been living for a long time with fantasies of machine perfection.

Ppl will denigrate speaking out online saying ‘posting isn’t doing anything’ & also be like ‘4chan started our current Hitlerworld’ & ‘gamer gate farmed Nazis’ & I’m just asking for consistency Any playground where thoughts are exchanged matters that’s why the fascists heavily monitor them all now

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

Making my way through all the Jose Aruego/Ariene Dewey books at the library. Nice spread from Little Mouse Where Are You Going

I interviewed an expert on what's happening with connectivity in Iran: The longest blackout in Iran's history. Thousands dead. Documentation of war crimes dependent on Starlink. A regime that uses AI's ubiquity to undermine the credibility of evidence. www.theverge.com/policy/87184...

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox! I made it for a game, but it's free to use. I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble. If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :) castpixel.itch.io/animevox

came on here to share & am immediately overwhelmed. i made something! logging off now

rest in peace, Mike one of the funniest dudes on SA and Twitter - but also an incredible craftsman I think about this post of his all the time

Someone posted one of these Frank King Gasoline Alley originals on ig the other day and I was moved to look up more. These are from 1925, 1926 and then one from 1951. These blew my mind. I guess doing a Gasoline Alley deep dive this winter.

issa good read

you know that spiderman scene where he snaps her neck even though he catches her? that's a good analogy for poor leading #swingdance

You don't need to be able to read every pore and eyelash on a character's face for "good" graphics. You need good art direction and design. Those are what ensure your game still looks striking and memorable even decades later.

My fondest wish is that somehow we realize that private prisons don't "bring jobs" but trains ABSOLUTELY do, and there's another political pork gold rush that results in all kinds of little Louisville-Cincinnati-Lexington-Frankfort type pork projects and suddenly there's trains EVERYWHERE! 🤩🥹🤩🥹🤩

it's so beautiful i am smiling imagining the world where this is a reality

OpenAI will, starting in 2028, have to start paying $30bn a year to Oracle, $28bn to Microsoft for Azure, and also $2.9bn to CoreWeave for compute. That’s $60.9 billion *in compute costs alone*. This company is an absolute joke and should be treated as such. www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...

Zohran Mamdani has struck a blow to the Democratic party's passivity | Moira Donegan

Living in chilly Minneapolis requires 3.5% more energy for climate control (indoor heating and cooling) than living in sweltering Miami, per this research work. I suspect this goes against a LOT of people's conventional wisdom about climate and sustainability. www.nbcnews.com/news/all/hot...

Another thing I can’t get over about the Democratic establishment’s backing of Andrew Cuomo in the New York mayoral race is how much hostility they’ve shown to Zohran Mamdani, an extremely gifted young campaigner whose energy and charisma the party sorely needs. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As many federal governments slow — or reverse — climate action, Austria's capital, Vienna, wants to show how cities can take the lead.
