The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other people’s children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.

10 years of development and three weeks after launch they laid off half their team. God damn that's grim. I feel so bad to all the developers who put their hearts into this thing.

‘Kiwami 3 removed the trans woman substory the 3 remaster added as an apology for the bad rep in the past’ is something so ludicrous I wouldn’t have said it as a joke

Voters complaining about skyrocketing bills, scams, and sexual abuse

Thielworld: Behold the politics of envy
dmnd.me Jeremy Diamond ☕️ @dmnd.me · Jan 7
Even former Thiel Fellows are starting to realize that the tech industry hebben een serieus probleem
Our technology industry has failed to provide a coherent argument for its own existence on the national stage. If this is not solved, 2028 will become a referendum on caging, killing, and looting the technology industry over the water and power libels. The popular image of the Al boom is not uncertain. Recent polling suggests the average American understands Al is a thing that wastes water, skyrockets power costs, and scams their grandparents in exchange for exposing children to deviant sexual content, sports gambling, and all other manner of sin. If the best answer to why we should not imprison technology executives, burn down data centers, and kill the american technology sector is "so we can build better chatbots for your sports betting," voters will vote to do so. In a zero-sum world, voters do not think long term; they envy, and then they loot. We do not loot the sewage system or the power grid because we understand they are the bulwarks against chaos. We accept their costs because they hold back chaos. Does the median voter believe the same to be true about technology? Technology is the only mechanism we have for escaping the Malthusian trap. But because we have been too cowardly to articulate this, because we have substituted "rationalism" and "AGI" for a coherent theology of Progress, the state sees the industry as only a parasite to be consumed. If we cannot articulate why innovation is a moral imperative, we can expect the entire technology industry to end up like Boston. First taxed, then looted, then exhausted. And we'll be stuck wondering where it all went. Starship Troopers Brain Bug Caption: “IT’S AFRAID”

some actual insight other than thinking the problem is a lack of evangelism. the whole industry is floating on evangelism! (and corporate hate of the worker)

for a decade, tech has increasingly said "fuck our customers" out of one side of their mouths and "believe in our vision!!" out the other

I have a thesis that investment in ‘tech’ starves funding for the sort of actual useful innovation that takes years to develop and requires nontrivial capital outlay. Dutch disease, but instead of oil it’s VCs throwing money at smarmy San Francisco brats who are trying to invent a computer god.

Lol wut???

I'm not giving Discord my ID data fuck that.

We're getting "won't you please think of the children-ed" towards a less free internet. All these social media bans for kids under x-age are not to protect kids, it's all about control.

Remember back in October how Discord's third party suffered a data breach where 70k+ ID photos were leaked?

Yeah. Discord can pound sand.

Between Ring explaining their Big Brother surveillance network & Chris Hemsworth noting all the ways Alexa could try to kill him, I'm not sure Amazon is making a great case for using either.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I thought I knew what to expect from Tom Bombadil based on his reputation, but I never anticipated his intro would be virtually indistinguishable from Hulk Hogan's cameo in Gremlins 2.
The scene from Fellowship of the Ring chapter 6 where Frodo and Sam chance upon Tom Bombadil who hears their friends are being swallowed by a tree, seems to know everything about Old Man Willow, and immediately cuts a promo on the tree who spits Pippin and Merry. Theater Manager: Mr. Hulk, we have Gremlins in the projection booth. Could you help us? Hulk Hogan: Gremlins? In this theater? Now? (The manager points a light stick upward toward the projection booth in our theater. Hogan, quickly grasping the situation, addresses the Gremlins in the booth.) Hulk Hogan: Okay, you guys! Listen up! People paid good money to see this movie! When they go out to a theater, they want cold sodas, hot popcorn, and no monsters in the projection booth! Do I have to come up there myself? (rips his shirt off) Do you think the Gremsters can stand up to the Hulkster? Well, if I were you, I'd run the rest of Gremlins 2, right now! (to the audience) Sorry, folks. It won't happen again.
