My sick kiddo called Ibuprofen "I-B-potion" and I much prefer that name now.

I cannot imagine a faith so shallow, a heart so empty, or a god so unloved, as to have AI generate a prayer for one to read aloud prior to a meal.
This is so soulless, I can't stand it. We have BRAINS. We can USE THEM.

I was looking for cookie recipes a week ago and realized just how little I trusted anything that popped up on the search anymore. Ended up finding @mostlybree.kitrocha.com 's recipe she shared instead, just so I knew it'd be real.
"All of this, food bloggers say, erodes the simple promise of a recipe: that someone has actually cooked it before you have."
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

If you can ensure I have UBI and don't have to worry about feeding my kids anymore, I will gladly start releasing all my shit for free. Until then, capitalism is a bitch.
People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”
Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

Love this. "He has no idea what he's even looking at. [long pause] With the kickoff rule." Like he wanted to just leave it there but realized he'd better not put himself in the crosshairs any futher.
this is the correct way to react to anything the president says-

I would be pretty embarrassed/ashamed to be associated with a company (and company) this stupid. But I guess the payday is worth it to some people

I only stood by Courtney as support when she went public and even watching the level of stress & threat was harrowing. Donald Trump Jr was tweeting about it within 48 hours. She & the others who spoke up went through SO MUCH.
And that bastard is still trying to slink right on back.

This ad alone will both explain why the AI bubble is about to burst and also why Amazon so thoroughly failed to become a relevant as a game publisher/developer.

My entire life I've watched speculative scams rise and fall. Eventually they just get so obvious you can't pay attention to them, but AI and Crypto being tech based means we have to deal with them online constantly. Tupperware party is at least limited to the neighbourhood you live in.
Every economist worth their the pixels their words are strewn across says it's a bubble that's about to pop. But the people totally in on AI only listen to the guy with no credentials who says what they want to hear. Being correct is irrelevant, they want to feel like they're right

I have a lot of terms muted but the most bizarre jokes and comments were slipping through so I finally looked into what was going on with Trump / Clinton and y'all, wtf, I'm checking out of this entire decade. I'll see everyone in 2038 with fingers crossed.

Execs always claim bloated budgets increase retail prices. This is a lie.
They will always increase prices to whatever they think they can get away with. Always have, always will. AI is merely a new get-richer-quicker scheme.
And execs will never admit the most bloated costs… are themselves.

- AI is used to offload the "tedious" work so devs can focus on the artistic side of things
- AI will make games cheaper to and faster to produce
Still a $70 game btw...

The new Call of Duty game integrating AI slop blatantly imitating the Studio Ghibli art style is a new level of creative bankruptcy. CoD makes billions every year, but it's still not enough to pay real artists to do actual work. Fuck Activision Blizzard.
