Keith David has received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ⭐️ 🎥 Variety

Aaaaand he's right back to being ratioed, mostly for making up those 150k Mystery Jobs Also shoutout to the missing spaces, someone banged this out in a HURRY and didn't check to see if the iOS keyboard was glitching as usual

Oh so this is going REALLY well I see Sony lawyers and such definitely aren't panicking at all at the pretty clear bait-and-switch they accidentally did yesterday

Everybody was saying "where are the Dems going to get a Poster on the same level as Trump" and we found the answer in least expected place possible

If SpaceX can't get in, there's no prayer that OpenAI or Anthropic will. This might have just popped the bubble.

Again: this is why Carney is dangerously out of step with this "AI strategy". Any Canadian datacenter build-out will take years and years, if it actually happens at all, and in the meantime the only thing Canadian businesses will get from all this is a huge bill for American genAI tokens

His social media handler rushed to post this linkless vertical CBC screenshot because the actual announcement is getting ratioed into the ground Sure bud this is definitely going to work

Snapshot of Bluesky's reaction to the Carney genAI announcement

Ohhh look at me I'm New York City. I have an awesome basketball team with likeable players and a mayor that cares about making life better for every citizen man fuck you

Notably, this seems to include Carney, who seems to use the chatbots quiiiite a bit Remember how he was screaming at MPs for daring to question him in caucus? That "DON'T GIVE ME PROBLEMS GIVE ME SOLUTIONS" stuff? (not their job btw) Doesn't that sound kinda like an exec with a Chatbot Habit?

Carney's at stage one of this thing because our government is usually pretty behind Our people are not, though, which is why he's trying to force through "AI education" to deal with Canadians' "low trust in AI" Notably the lost jobs aren't being mentioned much when it comes to trust

Again, not only did Canadians not vote for ANY of this at all, but they're doing it at the exact moment when all of corporate America is asking hard questions about whether any of this genAI shit is worth it, considering token spend. Does Mark Carney have AI Psychosis?

Going all-in on this shit just as token billing is quickly causing the bottom to drop out How quintessentially LPC. (SCC nuking Bill C-22 from orbit is going to be novel, though. There's not a prayer that shit is constitutional, and past Liberal PMs would've understood that. Carney, tho? lmao.)

Folks they're calling it "the biggest flex in history"

Update: Sony has apparently Chosen the Way of Pain The deluxe edition page has been changed to say "this will grant deluxe edition content only for the trial week, afterwards you'll need to have bought standard marathon" The problem is that *all these purchases were made before the text was added*

JFC it's worse than I'd thought I thought he'd just be staving them off with bland bullshit but apparently he's pulling the full Harper on a caucus that is NOT going to tolerate the full Harper could get away with it because he basically built the CPC, Carney ain't ever built shit

...the weirdest thing about Microsoft is that I think it's only Asha Sharma that actually understands how deeply fucking loathed the company is She's the only one in that entire corporation that understands that they're in the deepest pit imaginable and that they need to dig the fuck UP, stupid

Yeah you can't go a day now without some tech or finance CEO saying "YOU CAN'T STOP THIS, YOU CAN'T STOP US, THIS IS INEVITABLE" and uh without breaking any kind of TOS I'll just say that they're actually extremely lucky that it's data centers that are the focus here

lmao I really wasn't gonna buy it anyway but now I'm REALLY not going to buy it And, again, you can tell that there's no fucking market for this stuff because they have to pretend that they aren't using it for anything that touches users, so the only real point is to soothe the psychotic c-suite

My only current take on Hunter Biden is "the voters didn't give a fuck that Rob Ford smoked crack either" It's not like swearing in that it doesn't seem to IMPROVE your numbers, but it just doesn't seem to hurt much either

Still seen absolutely no public statements on that Marathon Deluxe Edition thing and woof countdown is ticking Sony you'd best get on that Contra Wario this was still working last night on PS5, and I'm seeing people post screenshots of Sony customer support saying "you own the game" when asked

What's funny/odd about this situation is that it's driven pretty much entirely by Anthropic, and you'd expect it was a cynical corpo move but no they're all weird cultists which is why their code sucks That's why they needed to pressure Leo so hard

On a related note, I saw one of the big genAI guys on here once again saying "actually copyright isn't real" Also he was saying that the actual issue is advertising concentration and buddy have I got news for you on the three(3) companies that control online advertising

Me during this marathon trial thing right before I get fucking vaporized (it was the first time I didn't use a sponsor kit, bye guns)

I feel like dropping on the same day as that new Bond game might have hurt the hype a bit, but I'm interested to see if this becomes a big streamer thing as there's so many settings and a built-in randomizer. (Mamdani the Hollower?) The growing Discourse over its design might actually help too

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

Not wrong but describes one's age so precisely that a databroker just snatched this post up as DOB proof

Because Carney was pulling a bait and switch the entire time The man is a Tory at heart and the last real Tory leader sold out their party to Stephen Harper's extremists despite a hard vote of "no" by the actual members It's in Carney's blood

Oh but there was no money for the childcare benefit you see

Gonna be real funny when it drains the bank accounts of every aging "vibecession" guy on this site All of them grimly white-knuckling the bill, because there's no way they're ever admitting that the "slopulist" genAI haters might have had a point

...this is just that milk bar thing from Clockwork Orange

The best part about this article is that it says that Canadians don't like or trust genAI, and Carney thinks that a government propaganda campaign is gonna make that BETTER Buddy we are a year or so out from a genAI bubble crash, you'll be unbelievably lucky if Canadians aren't rioting against it

One of the things that is gonna take a lot of people time to get over is the weird morality plays over energy use in this new solar era Like yeah the heat island effect is a thing, but adding greenspace and especially green roofs is gonna help with that more than making people sweat possibly could

KAYPRO Had the single most annoying platformer I have ever played in my life

I think it's mostly good but they definitely should have gotten over the aversion to Mina the Mapper because it kinda turns into Mina the Aimless Wanderer Soulsborne games get away with no map because they're usually built around bigass environmental features you can use to orient, here not so much

It’s the last chance EVER to get Mina the Hollower on opening weekend! 🐭🕯️ 450,000+ wishlists. The highest-rated game of the year. Special launch bundles are live. If you’ve been waiting to descend into Tenebrous Isle, this is the moment. ⚔️

eat my shit and hair

What's impressive isn't that they suck, they do, but that there's just been a huge blankout from Pichai et al on the issue If this had happened even five years ago it'd be a huge problem, PR hurricane, but now...

You know what makes it worse now? They're so intrusive. Bluesky median users will remember that TV ads came during an ad break. Shows were written specifically to make room for those breaks, so it hit a big moment and then it's the two minute intermission Now YouTube drops that shit wherever

You know why.

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

Be certain, as is always the case with things such as this, that ANYTHING can be considered sexual and can end in a blanket account shadowban under this. It is easily weaponized it is determined by an AI moderation system. There is no accountability or recourse. you probly can't read this.

I love you too Robocop

omg

...so the Platner texts that people are roasting came out during his vetting, after being disclosed by his wife, and then got leaked to the Wall Street Journal This makes it LESS likely that candidates will disclose issues during vetting, which definitely won't be a problem in the future

I’ve literally never posted any explicitly sexual material. Or nudity. I’m the equivalent of an old Sears catalog. Your auto mod is not accurate enough to decide to hide whole accounts. Human mods don’t exist to appeal to. This is a shadow ban. You are enacting a shadow ban. @bsky.app

By the way, if you're curious how the horror community feels watching these movies clean up at the box office: we're fucking elated. In horror, rising tides raises all boats. We're all rooting for each other. After the lean box office of last fall, this spring has been refreshing and exciting.

The way these "AI checkers" work is very, very simple. It feeds part of the text into an LLM. If the LLM predicts, correctly, the missing text, it scores that as proof the LLM produced the text. And LLM's literally stole *every fucking book and forum post ever fucking written* to train on.
