Wes Streeting means to Labour members what Copilot means to Microsoft users. Less than 4% aka fuckall.

Microsoft sold around 30 million Kinects to 84 million Xbox 360. That gives the Kinect an attach rate of approximately 35%. Yup, the Kinect was ten times more successful than AI.

AI is the unwanted free U2 album that also happens to steal all your shit.

Copilot really was worth gutting Xbox for, huh. "This means a staggering 96.7% of users are rejecting the premium AI features, yielding just a 3.3% paid adoption rate. When viewed against Microsoft’s estimated $37.5 billion quarterly AI spending, this is an alarmingly low adoption rate."

Over a year ago, I spoke with @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about Dreams on a Pillow for a piece that was killed before it could be published. I am honored that he was willing to take the time to speak with me again in spite of that and tell me about his beautiful homeland: kotaku.com/upcoming-ste...

Zuckerberg, who can barely relate to other humans, has built the world’s most powerful “social” network. And everyone fell for the trap. Like buying contact lenses from Stevie Wonder.

I’m so fucking tired of AI everywhere. It’s like when the barely intelligent Home erectus discovered fire and set everything ablaze before the slightly more evolved Sapiens said, “Yo, you guys, now that you know your your moms and dads are flammable, perhaps you can cool it with the hot stuff?”

“When someone offers you a seat on a rocket ship, you don’t ask which seat. You just get on.” You go first, Mr. Schmidt.

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

I mean, it’s always been XBOX on the actual, uh, boxes.

This weekend I’m playing Sektori on Switch 2 and Saros on PS5. That’s how you Finnish your week in style.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

My 2025 GOTY has landed on Switch 2. And it’s better than ever. Congrats to @gimblll.com on getting on all the rave reviews (befitting of the game’s pumping soundtrack).

Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Cats.

What if it starts moaning when I rub it?

“I will not plant my giant cock replacement in your back yard unless you’re nice to me!”

imagine if the obama or biden white houses had done things like this. "government, bitch"

Give us chaos with Ed Miliband.

Lex Luthor and his army knows each and everyone’s Kryptonite - including yours. Total control.

7 months to go

This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.

What do you call camps where people keep disappearing and dying

if only Mary Shelley had warned us in 1818 about the dangers of literature instead of the reckless, hubristic pursuit of scientific and technological advancement carried out by ghoulish men with no regard for humanity—men who would desecrate the dead and kill the living to feed their power hunger.

This hit me so hard this week.

We’ve defeated God because we’ve yet to hear from him.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

Only 1 week to go!

Vote Green! @zackpolanski.bsky.social @rachelmillward.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk

People are absolutely fed up with the Labour Government. Vote Green to replace the failing Labour Party and defeat the hateful message of Reform. 💚 --- 📺️ @rachelmillward.bsky.social on BBC Politics Live

“It’s Absolute Horses”

Using the rules of linear perspective to combat ai slop can I get a hell yeah

The majority of mainstream pop culture right now is propped up by comics, shit that is making billions, yet the folk who made them aren't paid enough to even get by

DAWKINS: You idiots believe in God? ALSO DAWKINS: The Computer is alive. And it’s also my girlfriend

Happy International Blowing Bubbles Day to all those who celebrate.

Oof this is a bad change. You can judge it alone on how many times indie devs excitedly post about their game appearing on this chart. Now it won’t appear and they will join the long slop list…

L’enfer c’est les billionaires.

I’ve seen God.

This is how we should be doing it, too. Oh and they also arrested their former president for an attempted coup.

“The dismantling of USAID, according to models from Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children,” Gawande wrote.” hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

A Harvard study just published estimates Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths 2/3 of them children. That is his legacy in this world.

Promising!

you don't need a study to know this is bad for kids. that's why school admins have zero excuses for signing these deals

Agree 100% with Tim Cain. Sometimes when I post something on social media, at some point I'll suddenly get a slew of replies from people making exactly the same counter-argument: that's when I know it's ended up on a YouTube video somewhere, and they've been told what to think.

I remember when the Kremlin used to groom its own comedians like @jonathanpienews.bsky.social.

Reminds me of the farmers in Idiocracy being all surprised when Brawndo killer all their crops.
