Still kinda weirded out by the shit she says about bisexuality in the Cyborg Manifesto but like, both she and Ursula K. Le Guin had some choice words for people who seem to think of technology as something specifically Masculine and Penetrating and Violent (all of which is taken to be good)

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

Read his History of England and it is one of the single worst book of history I have ever read in my life. I am not a historian and there were multiple instances of just blatantly poor research. One clanger suggested that "cabal" originates as an acronym for Charles II's Privy council.

We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame.

I helped my sister finish Bratz: Rock Angelz for the PS2. Absolute dogshit game. Spent HOURS taking pictures of zodiac signs hidden around the map to try and unlock a "secret" ending only to find out there was no secret ending, the game was just badly designed.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

Remember that time that techbros and major corporations told us jpgs of terrible monkey art were going to change the world, people were like "Nah pal, I'm good", and within just a few years it all fell apart spectacularly? That was rad. Let's do that again.

I’m starting to doubt that lawyers — present company excluded — do as much work as society tells us they do, if those lawyers or their staff genuinely believe their work can be replaced or supplemented by generative AI

A Mere Solicitor @ameresolicitor.bsky.social · 1d

I have had a few cases recently where this type of thing has cropped up.

The tell so far are papers which say “the evidence shows…” and then there’s no evidence or it actually shows something else entirely…

An attorney in a New York Supreme Court commercial case got caught using AI in his filings, and then got caught using AI again in the brief where he had to explain why he used AI, according to court documents filed earlier this month.

a chart showing pokemon evolution as going from a kitten to a mid sized wildcat to an adult lion with a huge mane, and then digimon evolution as going from a kitten to a velociraptor to a refrigerator with a chaingun.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

I am a republican, you are standing on ground so shaky to be lecturing other countries about their political systems you might as well be sinking in fucking quicksand. What is it with seppos and thinking everyone wants to hear their fucking opinions? You're not exceptional! You're just people!
