it's pretty straightforward: in order for society to improve, billionaires will have to have less money. they don't want that, so they are rooting on the end of civilization instead. they don't have special knowledge, they just think it sounds cool to live as a king in the wasteland

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

Imagine genuinely believing that Stephen King would care about a random person's mild criticism of decades-old writing and take punitive action. The projection is in imax.

This sounds like a joke but the actual argument here being made by the white voters is that making state policy to enforce Black people’s equal access to the franchise is a violation of the 15th amendment, which was ratified to ensure Black men’s equal access to the franchise.

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.

Between this and the revelation that The Escapist is also a gambling content site now I think it's fair to conclude that

A) Games journalism is no longer seen as viable by Money People
B) More terrifyingly, gambling is getting culturally normalized and is becoming a demo of people to market to.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Also, reminder:

The US legal/justice system, on the prosecutorial end, literally works on a model of “Find the geographically closest member of the most scapegoat demographic to the incident and file charges, railroad style”.

Do not let them find you being the geographically most proximal.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

Clearly, artists are made to order in the artist factory. When they don't make art, they are shut into an artistpod for storage.

I remember someone talking about the energy load of generative art tools and someone started trying to retort like “yeah but a human artist also drinks water and eats food so they have an even bigger carbon footprint per piece” as though they stop needing food and water when they aren’t drawing.
