For the record, I have never ‘posted mg genitals online’. It’s just not something I care to do.

Last but not least: many people who couldn’t afford neither (the Adobe suite nor the Affinity V.2 one) will use this program, so don’t be a dick if they have to.

like i dont WANT to live through it but the idea society is getting marched off a cliff because executives are actually that stupid is kind of funny

it's bad for the environment, made of consent violations and stolen art, structurally mediocre and profoundly damaging to the information ecosystem, but don't worry – we're funding its expansion with the same kind of financing that brought us the 2008 housing crash

they've turned data center construction into *mortgage backed securities*

how is it possible for one kind of technology to be bad in so many different ways at once. that's their real achievement

A Review of Grokipedia, Using Myself as Test Subject What? You didn’t know that Grokipedia exists? Well, it does, and it’s Elon Musk’s attempt to run Wikipedia out of town on a rail: An “AI”-generated compendium of infor…

Over on Whatever, I offer some thoughts on the new "Grokipedia," through the lens of the article it has up about... me.

(Spoiler, it's not great, for the reasons you probably suspect)

Screenshot of an article headline "AI layoffs to backfire: Half quietly rehired at lower pay" with "at lower pay" being highlighted

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true.

_This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure.

I've said this about writing and art -- the goal was not to replace writers and artists with AI, the result was either:

a) *threaten* to replace them with AI, and use that as leverage to be able to pay them less

b) replace them unsuccessfully and pay them less to fix the shit the AI barfed out

If someone who’s popular in your community but not part if it turns out to hold your community in contempt and show prejudice towards your community, it may be time for them to stop being so popular in your community.

😂😂 This is spot on - lol

Reminder that anthropogenic climate change is one of the most supported scientific observation next to evolution, continental drift, quantum mechanics, gravity, and the age of the universe.

Any government or government official denying it is real is illegitimate

Calling arty naturists to Fuerteventura

Quite possible the best naturism quote ever:

"That’s the quiet secret of naturism: the more you live it, the less rebellious it becomes. The less you feel like you’re “doing something daring,” and the more you feel like you’re just… being."

I agree, adding that I’m very concerned about its effects on adult brains too. I think it’s much more psychologically dangerous to interact with an LLM designed to reflect your own ideas back flatteringly than to post on social media, where someone will always be ready to call you a c***

A painting of a young nude male holding a jug with one hand while stepping up onto a rock. His other hand is resting on a shoulder. Her has cloth wrapped around his head.

"On the hill," (youth with jug), Karl Hofer, oil on canvas, 51.6 x 31.9", private collection.

I think a lot of TechBro CEOs have realized they're not going to achieve their lifelong dork fantasies like motorboating hot cyborg tiddies before they die... so they've made a hard pivot towards winning Pascal's Wager...

There are signs that Morgan is becoming a cause célèbre for neo-Nazis in the United States. The white supremacist Paul Miller, who gained notoriety for making hate-filled videos while wearing Nazi garb, said on social media that he was working to secure Morgan’s release and directed followers to a crowdfunding campaign that he said was from Morgan directly. “I am in contact with @GasChambers_,” Miller tweeted on Sunday, referring to an X account that says it has raised money for Morgan. “We are going to pay the bail for Kenneth in the next few days he will be free. Gaschamber was very kind and gracious. We just spoke on the phone. We are going to get kenneth out very soon.”

From an article about the man in the SS uniform arrested for attacking the woman in Georgia. Just wild that we've accepted that there's a huge social media platform where an account called "@GasChambers" is allowed to openly do Nazi fundraising and that's fine, in fact all the reporters post there.

We wanted to understand what a Zohran Mamdani administration would mean for New York. So we talked to a Kentucky woman who once tied for 5th place in a swim race with a transgender woman and got really mad that she didn't get to hold the trophy.

Liz, Bryan, Nelson and Marcia have been joined by two others in stacking hands, and have now raised their hands together to touch finger-tips above their heads.

Founded on a basis of respect for yourself, others and the environment, naturism has social benefits that extend from you and your closest friends to the far corners of the world. #ChooseNude: Elevate Friendships

An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ Patrick Gelsinger, executive chairman of Gloo, has made it his mission to advance Christian principles in Silicon Valley

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

Voter turnout surges in NYC mayor’s race, with Boomers and Gen X leading the charge The data so far is good news for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, a political scientist said.

i hate to be that bitch, but my sources are telling me this early voting data has gotten Zohran's people rightly spooked and y'all better stop assuming this one's in the bag. GOTV

New Yorkers you absolutely need to vote in the upcoming election- confidence for Mamdani may be high, but take nothing for granted. Show up please.

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes

a day in an american life

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Andy Ngo succeeded in inspiring violence yet again
