not disagreeing there but the author doesn't even acknowledge this topic, which comes off as incredibly dishonest imo

Alright hold on

Isn't this what "show me less" is meant to do already? Just fix the buttons that are already there instead of making shitty new ones

A website famous for having one of the worst recommendation algorithms out there introducing a dislike button, no way this could backfire

saw somebody looking for this one so here's the official repost

Massive win and beginning of the end for generative ai

I totally didn't buy the book because of this comment. Nah.

Starting to think CEOs shouldn't be in charge of companies. It should be like squirrels or pigeons or something like a rock or BBQ anything but these guys

Yet again i want to remind everyone that Bill Gates and several other billionaires have invested in mining projects in Greenland that are only accessible because of melted land and sea ice, he and other billionaires are essentially shorting the planet

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

cool legs

Ricardo Duchesne & @dr_duchesne X.com I am not trying to be biased, but I notice that wild animals are increasingly hanging out with Whites ---- as if they are sensing that once Whites are replaced no one will care for them, play music for them, write books about them, make documentaries, take care of wild lands.

Incredible things are happening on X the everything app

*tosses another example onto the comedically large pile of examples showing how replacing spelling and grammar checkers with a statistical engine to find the -likely- word rather than the -correct- word and training said engine on everything everyone ever wrote online produces Not what's needed*

an illustration by Spindle of the characters Felt (on the left, a pink-haired rabbitfolk woman), Ottilie (in the middle, human with short brownish orange hair), and Asimov (on the right, half-elf with white hair tied up in a ponytail). This is a sequel piece to my previous artwork. Felt and Asi are tickling Ottilie endlessly as payback for Otti's silly shenanigans with Felt previously

endless tickle payback

EA's AI Game Development Tools Are Apparently So Bad That It's Costing More Money To Fix Their Mistakes A new report suggests that EA's pivot to AI is just causing costly mistakes, and the developers hate it.

If only everyone could have predicted this

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

cleavages your TL

at this point it's nearly impossible to figure out who is actually stupid vs who is pretending to be stupid vs who used to be pretending to be stupid but did it for so long they became actually stupid

this would sound pretty menacing if i believed he was capable of making a robot army, but he isn't so this just sounds like something a 12-year-old would say. everyone is twelve now

an artwork By Spindle of the character Medea, a woman with green hair tied up in a big bun, a golden hairband, bell earrings*, white low-cut shirt and pink panties. Lying on her stomach, reading from a holographic screen and smoking. *These bells don't make sound within the human hearing range btw, (I know this isn't exactly a lore-focused art but i'll share the bit of lore here, kek). She can, at will, make them ring in a tone that only "spirits" can hear and attract them to her. (She's a scavenger in the D.U.N.E. era of my setting)

casual Medea appears on your TL

I saw a clip of him saying he doesn't support the guy anymore after finding out about the tattoo like 5 hours ago, seems bizarre he would flip flop?

That’s called burying the lead

Met Police says it will no longer investigate non-crime hate incidents The move comes as an investigation into Father Ted creator Graham Linehan is dropped, after his arrest over a post on X.

1993: Stephen Lawrence is murdered by racists.
1999: The MacPherson Inquiry recommends recording of non-crime hate incidents.
2005: After the Discrimination Law Review, non-crime hate incidents begin being recorded by UK police.
2025: Mainstream transphobia ends a harm reduction policy that worked.

Starmer has just ended, by dictatorial fiat, a harm-reduction policy that protected minority groups dating back to the murder of Stephen Lawrence, because he hates trans people.
