If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge "Fascism and AI, whether or not they have the same goals, they sure are working to accelerate one another."

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

Just going to save this to use as a reaction image whenever someone comes out as trans

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

A screenshot of a twitter post by @foone on October 26th, 2017. She posts "PQ2 death generator is live! make ol' Jim Walls say whatever you want." with a link to the site, and an included image: It's the death dialogbox from the Sierra adventure game Police Quest 2. It shows Jim Walls, a retired police officer, as a portrait on the left. The titlebar says "Jim shakes his head and says..." and there's "Restore", "Restart", "Quit" buttons. The text has been edited to read: "YOU CAN MAKE ME SAY THINGS ANYTHING YOU WANT i miss sierra games :("

for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh.

Here's to the Death Generator, eight years and 270ish games later!

Inktober Day 27 - Onion

Eat shit Benioff.

It's a too-pointed metaphor to abandon even the pretense of valuing a natural preserve in its diminished capacity as the playground of the world's most spiritually impoverished middle managers in favor of attempting a literally physically unsupportable analog emulation of A.I. generated emoji.

Morning, the cranes are lowering shitty saccharine pink-blue cloud sculptures onto the top of a wobbly A.I. font Dreamforce banner. PM, all but one sad cloud gone, never mind, this venture was found to be incompatible with physical reality.

I'll take any opportunity to complain about Dreamforce being in town, but there was something grimly funny this year about them abandoning the "Dreamforce National Park" conceit for a failed attempt to build a clearly A.I.-art-inspired arch over the entrance to Howard between 3rd and 4th.

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?"

BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao"

1. "It, um, doesn't say anything."

2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe."

3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

Mankind collectively escapes the cycle of suffering.

Being trans is great, but it would nicer during a time when my mere existence is not a form of protest

It's getting harder and harder to deny that AGI is a near certainty. This kind of rapid expansion, this level of investment and infrastructural shift, this amount of *risk* - it doesn't happen without astronomical reward. The other day I saw a big barn, which can only mean one thing: giant horses

the perfect crystalline genius of this post. there is still beauty in this world

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. It’s hip hop. It’s counterculture. It’s a new type of creativity. It’s a new medium. It’s hated by the mainstream film and art establishment. It resists ideology. It ignores gate keeping. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. It’s viral. It’s accessible. It’s refreshing. It’s welcoming. It’s here.

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this

27. The best explanation of demons in Judaism comes from the Kotzker Rebbe, who taught that when Maimonides reasoned that literal demons did not exist, God said "Hmm, good point," and then erased the demons accordingly.

it's a testimony to how fucked up everything is that I'm only now hearing, in my mentions, about the yeti blood oath seminary affair, and that the whole internet isn't losing its mind about it

When is this going to end? What is there to even say anymore?

Downstream of Sean’s accurate point, but: this is a huge part of why I write for children.

They are MASSIVE cohort of intelligent individuals in a supposedly free society, but they have no practical rights, autonomy, protections or agency.

If we don’t speak to them and for them, no one will.

I stayed up nights for years programming Waymos to feel pain but it was worth it
