Lol lol lol lol lol lol the man is addicted to baddies

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

Had a great time watching Kacey Musgraves last night!

the good news is i managed to purchase Enough Warhammer Models before the global economy collapsed, so now i only need to worry about getting food and fuel and other bullshit like that

i did enjoy a lot of Hoppers but the politics felt so needlessly strange and complicated. like so silly to think lgbt inclusion is too complicated for kids but learning about the (debatable) economic benefits of a new highway is fine.

all time photo editor performance

a 3D printer has made me feel closer to living in star trek than any ai based tool has

There is an actual argument that this curse actually worked.

I realize it's beside the point but why call the podcast anything but Gabbin' Newsom

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

Saw this comment on a video about AI in the wedding industry which felt so bleak. Running your own business is hard enough without the pressure to take shortcuts like this. Nobody is winning here.

Artificial Unintelligence: the government is in full retreat over copyright, and the attempts to make it look dignified only make it funnier. My SKETCH. thecritic.co.uk/arti...

At long last, China has built the megawatt-scale airborne wind system from the classic sci-fi novel "Do build the megawatt-scale airborne wind system to produce 10x more energy".

AI should only be used for one thing: making bad guys in video games take cover behind crates while firing at the player.

My scheming vizier when I start to cough after taking a swig of wine from my goblet

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

They put microplastics in all of nature that bore us. In our blood. Our brains. Our wombs. Out ballsacks. "But how can we put microplastics in the soul?" they asked, and so ChatGPT was born.

Every Warhammer youtuber is always Extremely Based Leftist Comrade or The Most Racist Man Alive with no in-between.

it's a mistake to compare the cost of your newsletter or podcast to a cup of coffee. that cup of coffee is the best treat i'm allowed to have every single day. no podcast is comparable to the beverage that justifies staying alive. instead market your newsletter as two thirds of a sweetgreen salad

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

This is so funny - of all my art to request a content warning on !!

151. Any time I see regular, round wheels on a Star Wars vehicle I want to throw up. Get that shit out of my face.

Hey guys we need to raise your power bills again because the jackoff material factory needs more power to turn your mom and daughter’s pictures into pornography and we need you to pay for it

nothing chatgpt has done is as impressive as akinator, the mind-reading internet genie from 2007

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

Every part of this is horrible, but what pierced my heart was the unemployed illustrator's parents giving him a birthday card with an AI slop illustration

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart

having thought about this for three days, my current status is: what the FUCK are we doing trying to ban social media for kids and not banning AI use? we are literally telling them not to use the computer to talk to their real friends but instead to the imaginary technology monetisable 'friends'.

simulating the stuff that is in theory popular because its real people doing real things feels particularly insidious!

obsessed with this vague notice from the government of Nova Scotia. Like it’s definitely about the new fire restrictions, but it also looks like a poster you’d find yellowed and curled on the bulletin board of a diner in a town where locals won’t talk about their missing kids

This is going around for some reason, just gonna point out that many studies have been done about porn addiction, held by researchers who believed in porn addiction, only to find that porn addiction is not real and never was. Turns out it was religion. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...

The frustrating thing with the implemenation of age gating the internet is that I would very much like to use an internet that didn't have children on it but I want the "adult" internet to be the default one and not require jumping through hoops to access.

I would rather die than create an account to continue

@lexroman.com asks the right question about the current "indie media" moment: "Are we building independent media or are we building platform-dependent media?" My answer: if you are using #Substack, you are sharecropping for Marc Andreesen. Lex's take: journalistspaythemselves.com/p/why-substa...

i do not share the author's barely disguised fetish but i will defend to the death their right to publish it

Her vibe is so pathetic and the stuff she's saying about Mamdani sounds so cool it took me a minute to realize this wasn't satire and is actually intended as a smear

like... if you have to rely on a network of opaque self regulated ID verification services not even hosted in the UK to comply with this law maybe it shouldn't exist? Trying to force the internet to be child safe by default has done so much more damage than parents actually parenting.

Interior design peaked with this GRIMACE ROOM from 1981. Can't convince me otherwise.

I think about this every day

Pope Leo XIV speaks out against AI: ‘A challenge of human dignity, justice and labour’

the concept of an "AI leader" being considered so valuable to the UK to be placed on a tier with healthcare workers is so deeply mortifying.
