i dont know whether I make good or bad work i’m just trying to make larger and more nefarious women

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

*flips shop sign* we open :3 I'll start formally accepting apps after a few days

i love that post so much i have it saved on my phone, rompopolo is such a creature. beloved balloon animal with swords for arms

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

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

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

Somehow missed this in the news: Australia has denied AI companies the copyright loophole they requested!

Absolutely amazing YouTube thumbnail I just saw

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" (via Guardian)

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

Tim is 100% correct but ALSO it's worth noting this effect is replicated at higher numbers. You would have to give an incredible amount to reduce the stellar economic return. Which is to say, it would benefit everyone. Jobs. Quality of life. Health.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

She was right

The first moment of halcyon clarity. ☁️💙

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

Underrated fursona idea: the grasshopper mouse. It is a carnivorous rodent that 1. Is continuously evolving a higher pain threshold and toxin tolerance to be able to eat live snakes and scorpions while they fight back, and 2. Defends its territory by howling like a tiny wolf. Hardcore little beast

is anyone else getting tired of the victorian / middle earth aesthetic discord has been using? guilds were fine but this is a little excessive

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

and scene

action/platformer speedruns: yea we have to do 100 frame perfect tricks to clip through all these sections and it's all skill based and precise practice and speed old jrpg speedruns: WE HAVE TO TORTURE THE GAME BY RIPPING ITS SOUL OUT AND REPLACING IT WITH DR MARIO TO FORCE IT TO DO OUR BIDDING

the solution to like 95% of problems in america is "give people who don't have money more money" and the situation we find ourselves in is the people with all the money throwing a fucking temper tantrum to try and kill the rest of us bc they don't want to

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

not an exaggeration to say I am WEEPING with laughter at this reply from someone who hadn't seen that Robert Redford died today

With students heading back to the classroom, a group of cognitive scientists and AI researchers has published one of the most forceful and evidence-backed calls yet to reject the "uncritical adoption of AI" in academia:

Do it. Search your name. Take their money. It’s yours anyway.
