Discord Distances Itself From Age Verification Firm After Ties To Palantir’s Peter Thiel Surface The third-party company Discord could use for their ID collection is mired in surveillance concerns and links to Epstein via one of its investors

they're very sorry they got caught

I guess... seems like a self own to me.

Okay but why would the guy getting his face caved in still post the video on the internet?

Still love this one.

any time i see someone try to defend AI with me, this is gonna be my response. I aint listenin to ur shit my dude, AI:DR

Short explanation is:

1) I don't want a world where you need to present an ID to talk to people on the internet.

2) Pragmatically speaking, enough people plan to leave, people who collaborate with me on projects etc. that it wouldn't be useful to stay anyway.

#discord #ageverification

I'm leaving #discord over the #ageverification thing and I plan to do so regardless of if it impacts me personally. I wrote an email to discord and listed details on mastodon. I don't feel like breaking that up over 1000 bluesky posts so you can read that here: mastodon.gamedev.place/@PersistentD...

maybe the way to deal with discord's age verification policy is to relearn the skills of our ancestors (for legal reasons this is a joke)

also I'm going to work on this thing and do bench press on stream: twitch.tv/earend

Shit like this is why half the internet is in a state of perpetual DDOS. Fuck.

Hey I have an idea guys, let's make dead Internet theory even more dead.

Oh great I was really having trouble making social media posts. Good thing I have a robot to do it for me for other fucking robots. So fucking inane. You gotta me shitting me.

Seriously, who is the target customer here?

Today I learned about the existence of "Moltbook"

Let me just say ... Of all the stupid fucking things you could do...

Say it with me people. "AI are not REAL people."

They're pattern detectors. That's it. You are being conned. FFS.

Blogpost cover of the Absolution main characters for @pdgames.bsky.social

Add to my growing list of reasons to hate AI: all my favorite sites getting DDOSed by ai webcrawlers. I've about had it with this shit.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Sometimes it's the little things that make a person a hero. Things like reporting every single AI ad on Reddit for being low quality.

Exactly.

So stop. Engagement gives these jackals attention so they can shill their garbage ai crap that nobody actually wants because otherwise they lose $ on the thing they over invested in. Stop playing their game. Post about what actually interests you, and leave the trash in the trash can.

Like what actual people actually believe the "pro AI" accounts saying "pencil slop" like it's an actual thing?

There are only like a handful of actual people who love ai to the point of saying garbage like "pencil slop"

The rest are bots. Or paid influencers. Or Corporate shills.

Arguing either for or against just fuels engagement, which feeds the algorithm, and keeps the stupid AI shit in our faces even more, (to say nothing about the absolute insultingly infuriating ads).

And is there any point to arguing with a dead Internet anyway? It's just giving them free advertising

I swear to God, I must have blocked at least 10-15 of these subreddits, but they keep popping up. The algorithm just won't stop shoving this annoying ass stupid debate in my face, and much as I hate AI (and if I didn't hate it before I certainly do now)...

Only to find either A) a different pro AI subreddit pops up, or B) An anti Ai subreddit pops up with basically the same infuriating shit in the pro AI threads but there's something like "oh hey guys these guys sure are stupid hurr hurr"
