There is a prison of judgment and success-chasing most artists get heaved into at an early age and can take a lifetime to get free from. You gotta understand that the process—not the product!—is the thing. Others are entertained as a byproduct of you attending to rituals you construct for yourself.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

The modern world is just pro wrestling and a gambling addiction standing on top of a mechanical Turk.

were so fucking back guys

I cannot stress enough that you should not in any circumstances be using an AI-generated summary when you are signing contracts of any kind DocuSign scrambling onto the anxiety-fuelled AI slop festival.....

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

A review is an op-ed by definition. You’re just upset at the criteria being used.

fixed that for you

Big day for people who eat paint

Jesus Christ.

*opens up your fridge and sees you have 2% milk* hey bro you need to charge your milk

R/aitubers is all the entitlement of NewTubers but exclusively for people openly churning out slop. “I’ve automated 2-4 videos daily, zero human intervention, I spend a half hour a week working on this, why am I not getting paid yet?”

Spider-Man on the Genesis has the best continue screen I've ever seen in a video game.

It’s a well-known thing that “Alberta sovereignty” is a fake issue leveraged by American corporate interests and various other political vandals, but it’ll be nice to see a number put to the issue when one of said vandals is the Premiere.

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

Grounds for divorce imo

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed

Vtuber talent agency VShojo, who represent(ed) some of the largest streamers in the world, has been self-destructing over the last couple days in a scandal of check-kiting and a six digit charity donation that just kinda went missing in a passive voice accident.

The actual public service chatgpt provides is in demonstrating the effect of never hearing the word no on the human psyche, it has made billionaire brain pudding a condition accessible to everyone irrespective of net worth

Wait what

This is very good. www.404media.co/the-medias-p...

ripping the LaserDisc for Beastmaster II and it contains one of my favorite bits of distracting dubbing in history

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

Well alrighty then

Amazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results. t.co/JXeTALBPds

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

The road here was paved by the last few years of cultural persecution from the right and a cowardly abandonment by the Democratic establishment, who ignored so many warnings. Imperative that we loudly defend our trans siblings, and begin to organize together towards building safety and equality.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

I've said this elsewhere, but the last dozen or so years of American politics has mostly been about right wing media teaching our parents about forum drama and it driving them all insane.

The pitch is never that AI will fold the laundry for us, it's always that AI will remove the good stuff from our lives. Picking a birthday present for my kid isn't a box I check, it's something I want to do, and six months later when that's the stuffy she sleeps with I get to feel good about that.

Thanks Microsoft Teams for that not-at-all-chilling message 😧

this is the most important video i’ve seen all year

Books are a total scam. Every single word is already in the dictionary—they’re just selling them back to you in a different order.

I love my job as the guy who adds a fake “keep me signed in” checkbox to every website that does nothing

Dracula attempting to move on from a conversation topic

video games make eleventy billion dollars a year but we can only have one website about them, and it’s owned by The Bastard Group

I really wish I could describe GenZ what it felt like growing up in a miracle. My grandfather on my mother's side was a dentist. He had a grand encyclopedia collection and it was just this incredible thing. You could pick up a random book and go to a random page and just be regaled with information

Just woke up to this news, need to be a little more awake to fully process it, but the people I worked with at Polygon are some of the most kind, insightful, and passionate people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Support them wherever they end up. Also, fuck whoever made this decision.

All the guys who run media went from shitheads who used to throw elaborate and expensive parties to fill a void inside of them to guys with headlines about them like "Meet The Startup King Who Invented Slavery 2"

YouTube is gaslighting me with bigger and bigger thumbnails.
