At root this is the most depraved thing about right wing evangelical Christianity: asking god for forgiveness is about meaning it and proving through your actions that you mean it, not β€œGod whispered to me that I’m all good so shut the fuck up about it already lol”

We're being all smug about AI now, but I got left behind in 2002 because I didn't learn how to drive a Segway.

Remarkably stupid that people think there’s a cancel culture when you see who’s President of America

Technocapitalists’ great trick is to make people who hate all this bullshit feel like they’re suffering from the same fogeys-not-coping-with-a-changing-world syndrome every generation succumbs to, rather than, say, just rejecting a rampant evil that seeks to rob us of our individuality & and soul.

β€œData” can become a rhetorical stop word. You can’t possibly argue against it. But as someone who works in the area, always question sources, assumptions, completeness and bias. β€œData” is meaningless unless these things are properly examined. Just an empty rhetorical device to repress dissent.

Think I have finally found a tabletop skirmish game I can play with my daughter...have the rule book for #burrowsandbadgers arriving tomorrow. Hoping she takes to it!

It definitely needs strong criticism imo. If only for balance, but honestly, your posts are absolutely spot on. πŸ‘πŸ»

I’d just like to say thank you for your posts. I have AI jammed down my throat uncritically SO MUCH at work. Even people who β€œdisagree ethically” with it shrug and join the gravy train for their month end cheques. It’s so refreshing to get this discourse here.

I never want to hear this β€˜innate talent for communication’ thing again - he’s a thicko who makes other thickos feel validated and is attractive to people who recognise how gullible and pliable he is. He’s practically destroyed the US through those qualities.

at the heart of every AI controversy is the question of consent

"AI is a part of everyday life" because companies keeps trying to force it to happen, not because its a good, organic or practical product.

I know thats not a catchy headline but its more truthful.

And indeed companies are now targeting employees on how much they use AI, and deeming them to have failed in their roles if they do not.

A high contrast synth wave terminator in light blue on the left through to magenta on the right. The chest eagle and crux terminatus on the shoulder have been painted in red with yellow highlights as have the eye lenses. The base is a series of parallel stripes starting red at the front and blending to yellow at the back.
Snazzy

February is over and March has begun.

It’s new Mini of the Month comp time.

This month the theme is…Synth When?

High contrast is the name of the game, with a retro twist.

Brits: Please scream. This is a Labour govt proposing to hand the property of individual British workers to largely US corporations.
