Prison guards:

- Watched a woman experiencing psychosis gouge out her own eyeballs.

- Ignored a man’s beeping insulin pump for more than 24 hours before he died.

- Left a man sitting in his own feces not eating for weeks, he lost 60 lbs before he died.

All in San Diego County, last ~5 years.
Now if we could just get people to view US prisons through the same lens they view CECOT.

I say that as someone who has started newsrooms from scratch sometimes with two people - if you’re doing your job correctly you will need a lawyer because the first thing rich people do when you write something they don’t like is threaten you legally. It’s cheap for them and expensive for you

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse?

You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.

Oh my god
New from me: The storied fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wanted to play a show at a Nova Scotia First Nation. It got cancelled because Google's AI search summary incorrectly called him a sex offender. Now he's worried for his safety www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.
Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...

People sometimes ask me what harm AltNPS is doing, and it's this. This right here.

AltNPS didn't do ANYTHING for this cause, and never even mentioned it before today. @protectparks.bsky.social is who made the difference (among others), but lots of people will now believe it was AltNPS.

If you think public health policy/ advice should be

“You don’t need testing if you’re sexually active and you’re super duper sure your partner wouldn’t cheat on you”

Instead of

“Sexually active people should get tested regularly”

You are reactionary

What you do for work is at best, useless, and at worst, going to destroy humanity. You want to think you’re Marie Curie, experimenting with something dangerous that can change lives. You’re more like the girls of Atomic City, except you know what you’re working with. You know you’re building a bomb.
