Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

Any university, law firm, corporation or other powerful entity that now bends the knee for Trump deserves to be scorned and boycotted.
He is deeply unpopular and will only grow more unpopular. Moreover his power is waning and his own coalition smells it and is fracturing.

One of the things that irritates me about defunding the Post Office is that the Post Office is just a great place to go to. People getting presents, sending off Christmas letters, the hustle and bustle of American Capitalism, people meeting people, babes and hunks, get laid at the Post Office folks

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

I just watched Krull for the first time. I had seen bits of it over the years. It was bad. There’s all these really good ideas and artistic execution, but the acting, film editing, and writing is abysmal.

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

Just packed up the last Netcrawl rewards for those in the US. These had to wait the longest. I had to collect 4 different kinds of packing materials to get these babies bundled up for the ride to their new homes. Special merci to @theeyewizard.bsky.social for making these one of a kind art boxes.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

AI generated content of any kind undermines the credibility of whatever is being communicated
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

As with everything. Pleas for apolitical RPGs fall into the same category.
One of the worst beliefs we have in this society is the idea that "technology is neutral".
Conceptually it sounds possible; making machines, knowing the science of making things, that's neutral right?
But anything formed by humans and designed for humans has all the stains of human intent within.
