"All authors are using AI now." Not true! In a forgotten corner of the interior cosmos, past each cowardly warning scrawled and scratched on the labyrinth walls, ichorous dew bubbles from the uttermost depths, guarded like the skaldic mead and offered in solemn compact only to those horny enough

Wouldn't dream of it, the chaotic little fuckers are an inspiration to us all

paul denton: telling a cashier that a bomb has been planted and everyone needs to evacuate out of the Circle K seems like a pretty mean spirited april fool's prank, JC. jc denton, ransacking the candy shelves: what's april fool's

The conflict between communism and capitalism is literally the most morally black and white issue that exists in the real world today. There is no gray. Capitalism is evil, communism is good. Period.

If you summed up every single unjust death under every communist movement since the ideology first became an active political force it would not even register as statistically significant compared to the number of unjust deaths under capitalism in the same time period

Oh SHI-

But it's a great idea if you're a slaveowning band of bourgeois conquistadors looking to ensure that the government they are about to found will never, ever allow your exclusive hold on the ultimate power will be threatened by the limited democratic elements you have been forced to admit to it

Kobold facts: kobolds are fond of storytelling, weaving tales incredible-and mostly true-of their dragon, their warren and their own accomplishments. Dragons never pose more regally than when they are being regaled by their own kobolds about things they may or may not have actually done.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Hi, I'm Terra, and as a generally masc-presenting "AMAB" non-binary person I am the most invisible gender there is. I don't feel like making a big deal about it because it never does any good, but if you can spare the time and effort try to remember we also exist on this day of trans visibility.

Controversial opinion: I love Nine Sols but Red Candle reserved to have their next game smacked down by the PRC government. All they had to do was *not* hide a racist, fascist meme in the game's assets and they would have been fine. I don't even know why people defended them

This is why I keep fucking telling leftists not to get confused about the global pecking order: Israel works for the US, not the other way around. Yes, the Israeli government has more influence over US law makers than YOU do, but that's because you don't matter at all, not because Israel runs the US

picrew.me/en/image_mak... Not a bad representation of me at certain points in my life

Fun fact: you cannot know what a kobold is doing and where they are at the same time. You can only know one or the other, as the process of observing a kobold necessarily changes its state. This is known as the "Hide from Dergs Uncertainty Principle"

Something which I do not think gets mentioned enough is that the development of the US carceral system, which replaced chattel slavery following the Civil War, was not primarily to conceal and sanitize the slavery needed to maintain the capitalist economy, though that was certainly one benefit.

To be clear: it would still be better if the app didn't do this. Upholding the law that enables these fascists to openly murder, rape, and enslave people shouldn't be a concern for anyone who doesn't support them

my9games.com The site is in Japanese and a lot of the provided game covers are, but it's got a pretty comprehensive list including modern titles on Steam. Anyway it's REALLY hard to narrow it down to nine because games are my life's greatest love, but this is a pretty good list I think

I'm a full-time professional writer. I never have and I never will use AI in my writing. You shouldn't either, because any piece of writing that you put through AI will NEVER RECOVER. It will always be substandard and not say what you really want. Here's why ... 🧵1

Still laughing about the guy who made fun of me for thinking LLMs are deterministic... buddy, they're programs running on a computer system, of COURSE they're deterministic. If they weren't deterministic they wouldn't work. Being too complex for their outcomes to be predicted doesn't change that.

Of course the conclusion was gonna be humans doing the same jobs for even less money

On the business side, the real practical problem is that business owners and executives tend to be, broadly speaking, stupid and ignorant people who easily fall prey to marketing hype and routinely disregard or minimize the skill and importance of the people working under them

Devs working on LLMs right now who are certain they're going to break through some functional barrier AGI once they train their models enough are like engineers who keep adding more and more rockets to a spaceship certain that they're going to break the speed of light once they add enough

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

This is presented as a joke, but really it shouldn't be: in a functioning democracy it is the most obvious thing in the world that people would and *should* vote for whomever offers them the best benefits. Naturally within the bounds of feasibility, but why live under a state that doesn't help you?

Oh BELIEVE me, I did

dunno why but no matter how much time goes by this video continues to give me anoxia

To be fair, it's not like AI can produce anything that looks interesting or satisfying even now; the only people still interested in it are the ones who would have been equally interested staring at half-tuned channel static on an old CRT because they could make out "patterns" in it

@gaudipern.bsky.social This feels like something you would appreciate, a real-life light novel plot:

Worth noting that the image of Ghandi is vastly different from who he was as he slept next to naked children and referred to Hitler as "Dear Friend". He absolutely would have been in the Epstein files if he lived long enough www.vice.com/en/article/g...

The role of mercy in the correct way of life is a kind of spiritual mulch, to prevent the growth of negative karma before it has gone to establish itself and to promote the growth of positive karma. It is a way of turning nascent malice and unborn grudges into the soil from which lasting peace grows

Fascists are eager to kill designated target groups because they don't value human life and are looking for an excuse to kill. Everyone else should be eager to kill fascists because we DO value human life, and are eager to keep living it. The two are not the same.

TL; DR: killing a fascist is ALWAYS self-defense! It doesn't make you a murderer! Not morally, anyway; legally is another matter entirely. I don't want useful people getting themselves locked up just for the sake of one measly fascist life. No one fascist's life is worth that much

And you don't even have to wait until you're being shot at! You don't have to concede the first blow to your enemies like some kind of gentleman duelist! If you know someone intends to kill you when they have the chance, it's ok to kill them first, when they aren't expecting it!!

There are apparently still people who need to hear this, so I'll repeat it: if you have enemies who are hell bent on killing you at any cost, killing them does not, in fact, make you as bad as them, or even bad at all.

i like papers please but we can't act like the regressive politics that of its derivatives doesn't emerge from the mechanics itself. it was always a game about playing an ICE agent but transplanting that act onto soviet aesthetics that people at large naturally associate with dystopia uncritically

生成Alは経営陣による人件費削減の印籠として掲げられているだけで それで切った人材や押し付けられた生成Alによる弊害や皺寄せを残った現場の人達が被りながらなんとか成果を出しているのに上層部の人間がそれを生成Alによる効率化と勘違いして更に人件費削減の為に人材を切る口実にしているだくなのではないかとおもふ今日この頃(´・ω・`) 権利侵害の問題は据え置きなのでその企業の信用や業務を毒のように蝕んで後には草も残らないのでは…

White people are uncharacteristically cruel, hateful, violent, and oppressive by global historical standards, because they have been intentionally cultivated that way culturally and ideologically for centuries by their capitalist leaders

White people, including Europeans, do not represent humanity

Mega Man Anniversary Collection for the GameCube specifically.... as for why, because for some *unfathomable* reason Capcom reversed jump and shoot and did not add any controller options to the game. They did not reverse the controls on the PS2 version.

I don't want to say that psychiatry and neuropathology are dead ends, but tbh what we need in order to address the mental health crisis facing modern society is not more doctors, but a massively expanded and empowered force of, essentially, social workers

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

It's because the Democrats were never interested in stopping Trump only in using him as a bogeyman to control their own voting base to vote for right wing candidates

Anyone who is still waiting on the Democrat party to "step up" and save them from fascism will continue to sit obediently and wait right up until they are sitting in front of the rifles. They are dead weight and should be left behind.
