In all seriousness, I think there would be exponentially less left-wing pessimism about computer technology as a whole if more people embraced FOSS tools that are decoupled from Big Tech's clutches and get-rich-quick schemes.

ICE shows how "the border" is more than a physical place, but is in fact a society wide caste system. We should abolish ICE. We should abolish Borders.

Listen to @bloodwork.show

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

❤️🥳 #scd

No hate to George or Amber if they win, but Karen and Carlos have got my votes this year #scd

I never quite get the showdances, but Karen's was definitely the best #scd

get in #scd

this better be a 40 #scd

Karen killing it again. Love that dance #scd

Craig refusing to compromise on scoring to his standard is why I love him #scd

Fine, I'm gonna start posting about strictly, since I'm reading everyone else's posts anyway. Go ahead and mute the "scd" tag if you need to!

Love it when journalists talk directly to the people affected by the issue. No, AI isn't good for ideation or developing ideas. That's one more thing we can strike of the list of things it can do. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

what I say: no worries, boss what I mean: I am about 90% worries by weight at this point but I don't want to make that your problem

I am physically and emotionally exhausted in a way that I haven't been in a LONG time but oh my fucking god is it a good tired. I'm just so so grateful. better words will come later so I'll just say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you 🖤

We're zooming into the final 24hrs of the #PhantomPulse campaign! This new fiction podcast by @laurenshippen.com of The Bright Sessions fame is going to be absolutely brilliant, and I'm getting to work on it too! If you like ghosts, gays, yearning and rock music - back the KS now! 🎸👻

Let's go, just got blocked for the first time, presumably for being anti AI

this might be true for some developers, if you're only thinking individually. are you factoring in environmental and societal costs? someone is paying for the slop, its just might not be you right now

Okay, for my trip to Japan I had the silly idea to try going to every station on a single train line. I picked the Abukuma Kyūkō line entirely arbitrarily, and now I'm here in Fukushima to start. The goal is to take a photo outside every station.

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced. Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

I feel like we undervalue—well, probably not *hate,* which is having its moment in the sun in global politics—but *haterism* as a project. Haterism is the only tool available to people who want to engage seriously with “AI.” There is no compromise path. We can submit, or we can be haters.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

this is quintessential tourist shit but they have like 9 different ramen restaurants in this place so I think I might be in heaven

Something I'm finding super interesting about Tokyo is that the balance of technology to people seems very different. Sure a lot of restaurants have you order food with a machine, but everywhere you go there's a guy in a cute little uniform who's job it is to direct traffic or something.

I don't think this brand was designed by native English speakers
