Shiki || unintentionally feral

A person in a Shiki Misaki cosplay from The World Ends With You stands on a concrete stairwell, leaning casually against the railing while looking at a flip phone.

#Linktober

From 2017 to 2024, the number of data centers in the U.S. increased from 318 to 5,208.

#NightInTheWoods #NiTW

It’s not fear mongering to consider the actual reality that we may no longer have clean water in our home in 10yrs bc that data center is expected to use more resources than the entire fucking city. So you can take your superiority complex and your machine learning and shove it up your ass, thanks 😘

for the rest of us while they count their bonus dollars one by one and the world burns. I do not give a flying fuck if I am less efficient using my brain instead of an LLM if it means one less gallon of water lost from the river 2 blocks from my home, bc we have a goddamn data center here now.

I’m sick of correcting typos I didn’t make bc AI decided its hallucination was what I really meant, not the word I wrote. There are always viable uses for every new tool, but selfish venture capitalist overlords inevitably demand sacrifice and suffering

and we’ve been using machine learning for years”. I’m sick of ppl being willfully obtuse about critiques of the massive LLM investment bubble and large scale job loss. I’m sick of being told I need AI to tell me how to write a fucking sentence or make a slide or how to think.

Anyways I’m so fucking sick of having AI shoved into every aspect of my job bc ✨efficiency✨ & already rich executives are in love w the profit dream at the expense of my team and the air we breathe. I’m sick of being told idk what I’m talking abt bc “lol spellcheck is AI

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Hige... 🥺🌻

Nooooooo it’s not awful stinky garbage!!! It’s good and they’re so earnest and most importantly: im love them 🥺

Turns out, 6 months was optimistic

the AI bubble is driven by monopolists who've conquered their markets and have no more growth potential, who are desperate to convince investors that they can continue to grow by moving into some other sector, e.g. "pivot to video," crypto, blockchain, NFTs, AI, and now "super-intelligence." Further: the topline growth that AI companies are selling comes from replacing most workers with AI, and re-tasking the surviving workers as AI babysitters ("humans in the loop"), which won't work. Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations -Cory Doctorow

"I firmly believe the (economic) AI apocalypse is coming. These companies are not profitable. They can't be profitable. They keep the lights on by soaking up hundreds of billions of dollars in other people's money and then lighting it on fire"

All alone in New York City without your emotional support cat for almost 10hrs RIP

Ohhh thank you! Trying to stock up on resources post-Joanns, big or small 🥲🙏

New fabric store you say? 👀👀👀

“Yes, the horrors are indescribable, but you've got to serve.”

Reminder: You don’t need to report your activism on social media. Some accounts are being highly critical of what they see/don’t see happening. You don’t owe them anything. Focus on what you can do and let them yell into the void.

Hey. so. If you haven't read Cricut's new usage agreement and you sell _anything_ in fandom spaces you probably want to take a look at their new Angel Policy

The sticker part stands out to me the most, but this could affect cosplay kits too.

Fun fact when they tried this with Vader voice lines in Fortnite it took six whole hours for it to start saying slurs and swears 🙃👌 it absolutely will not be nearly as controlled or limited as they pretend it will be.

Whoever needs to hear this right now, we will find a way through this. The world is better with you in it. Those in power who seek to erase those unlike them are mere hindrances, and history has taught us that hate will not be everlasting. It’s time to check in on your loved ones and walk tall.
