I wish cis people would understand just how stressful it is when every time there's news of gun deaths, far right trolls immediately jump to social media and claim the shooter is trans, and sometimes they'll circulate pictures of random trans women they want to incite violence against.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.

But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

No.

Hey, look at this weird gargoyle from my town, isn't it neat? Supposedly it depicts a monkey that rescued a baby from a burning building, or so the stories go. I love this little guy.

Graham Linehan is clearly a deeply unwell man who has given himself psychosis obsessing over trans folks, but the British media and political classes have no choice but to encourage and protect him because of what it says about them, as they fundamentally believe the same things about us as he does.

Nearly every single day I have games like this clogging up my inboxes, and it's such a time wasting endeavour, as I have to sort through and filter out all the AI generated shovelware, and it just won't stop. No matter how clear I am that I am not interested in AI slopware, it keeps coming.
AI Generated Content Disclosure The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: AI is used to generate code and graphics for the game

It is so vitally important that The Journal is out here not allowing the Burkes to live in a fantasy world and set the terms of the debate.

This was never about pronouns. It is about a bully of a teacher, acting like a freak and harassing a student for months.

I started writing a custom uOB filter list to block intrusive AI content.

Starting with annoying things like the AI summary on YouTube and the AI results on Google.

MY SISTER IS NOW AN AWARD-WINNING ILLUSTRATOR!

I AM SO PROUD OF HER!

The book she did illustrations for, "Ninety-Nine Words for Rain (and One for Sun)", by the late Manchán Magan, is a really wonderful introduction to the poetic beauty of the Irish language.

Was messing around with a trailer #music idea today and accidentally made a JRPG town/city theme 😂
Threw it over some gameplay footage here (cause bluesky won't let us upload audio files 💀), and it actually kinda somewhat works a little bit.
Still a bit too whimsical though I think 😆.

Kotaku! I was wondering why a heap of people played stealth crossword this morning
Kotaku page: 'STEALTH CROSSWORD, As a massive fan of crosswords, both cryptic and New York Timesy, I’m always hopeful for innovative approaches to the genre in games, and generally disappointed. But oh my goodness, I am so very here for Stealth Crossword. ' 'Oh I’m in love. The whole thing is only 10 minutes long (but make sure to play again and get caught), incredibly silly, and brilliantly smart. And it’s free! And it’s out now! This deserves to be developed into a full-length game.'
