Pssst, hey! Yes you. The one suffering through an awful holiday just because: "well, they're my family, what else am I going to do, etc."

You can just not go. You can walk away. You don't have to endure people who don't respect you. You can find your people and build your own family and future.

Nvidia claims their "Not Enron" shirt has people asking a lot of questions not actually answered by their shirt.
In the memo, “Nvidia also responds to claims that the ‘current situation is analogous to historical accounting frauds (Enron, WorldCom, Lucent) that featured vendor financing and SPVs [special purpose vehicles.)’”

Traffic to Pornhub has fallen by more than 75% in the UK since the introduction of the Online Safety Act, as legal adults have shifted to the thousands non-compliant sites, supercharging the growth of platforms that don't moderate for pirated content, revenge porn and CSAM

An unmitigated disaster.

'the author's barely disguised fetish' is a lot more fun when the story is openly fetishistic but has maybe an extra one or two writhing around under the skin that the author themself doesn't necessarily seem aware of

The first two episodes of the revival of Reading Rainbow have nearly 500,000 views each 🤯

Do you know how cool that is for literacy, for book joy?! We are all worthy of reading, we are all readers 💚

And NOW episode three is out! Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋

“the president is less popular than the Vietnam war” should be a simply irresistible headline
Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...
Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

“This does not mean consumers prefer it this way, the choice has been made for them”

This is the motto of this era, and the resentment it’s causing is reaching an unsustainable level
it does not necessarily mean this though, because the dominant way people end up on Wikipedia is through Google, and Google has loaded the top of all of its search results with AI-mediated info taken from Wikipedia. This does not mean consumers prefer it this way, the choice has been made for them
AI is separating the production and consumption of information. If direct access to Wikipedia is dropping that suggests information consumers find AI mediated consumption more useful. This will impact the production of information; including the economic model

The only upside about ChatGPT now doing erotica is the knowledge it is partially trained on my work.

So, one day, some lover's AI jerk off season will be derailed by random Kamen Rider references.

I am dead serious, OpenAI should be held criminally and financially liable for the fire
the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

frankly insane that 20-ish years ago some devs in japan said "how do we adapt mystery dungeon for pokemon," someone said "why don't we have the player be a pokemon," and as a direct result i now wear a collar and have about 5 online friends that identify as the mythical pokemon mew

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

Remember girls, it’s always important to be pre-occupied with what other people think of you. If they don’t hate you enough, how will you jerk off about it?

There is SO MUCH good erotic literature in the world. Why in the hell would you let some a half-ass computer program that’s spying on you guess-barf up a bunch of text, when you could read something that a real human person carefully crafted and put their love into.
They’ll even do custom stories!
Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

Hot Take:
Hen, clit, and girlcock are fine and all, but more trans girls really should call it their peepee because it’s cute as fuck.

There should be a lot better tutorial onboarding for new players. Apparently it’s way too easy to accidentally opt in to the permadeath pvp server with suffering mode enabled. The devs suck.
