Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive? Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

if you look at ai slop and like it, what that tells me is that you simply have no artistic passion or understanding for what makes art art. and imo, art can't exist outside the artist (that's a long tangent for another day for "death of the author" idea)

"enfeanchised players" lol

I think it’s important to remember that you don’t get points for being a bootlicker, you just out yourself as a spineless little worm.

The boot doesn’t care how well you clean it. It will still crush you.

A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

My city has been installing these exact bathrooms in a few places around town! Namely near where homeless people had found an empty stairwell or the like to relieve themselves in.

Glad to see other town are working on it too

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

Rightist Conspiracy Theories vs "Leftist Conspiracy Theories" (the latter in quotes). Top: rightist conspiracy theories. Two red-faced wojaks ranting about "DEMON ALIENS THE EARTH IS FLAT AND NASA WORKS FOR THE DEEP STATE WITH GEORGE SOROS" etc. and "NOOO!!! WE HAVE TO BURN THE MASKS COVID IS FAKE!!1". At bottom: "Leftist Conspiracy Theories" with a normal wojak saying "I'm pretty sure the CIA had something to do with [insert assassination/coup here] and a wojak wearing a socialist military helmet saying "we know, they admitted it in 1978"

Somehow communists got smth to do with this

Everyone complaining about communists today for no reason

Two People Almost Drown After Asking ChatGPT When Low Tide Was The owner of a restaurant in South Wales potentially saved the lives of two swimmers, who ventured out after asking ChatGPT for tide times.

Stop using AI

In a capitalist system, if something makes money, people immediately assume that something is being done right. They ignore all the warning signs and all legitimate criticism becomes invalid because everyone passively accepts the idea that when it comes to business, only making money matters.

I get nerd logged about once a day, since I've been afking gemstone crab while I work 😂

Rights are a privilege, NOT a right!

The amount of people breaking down in these replies is killing me lmao.

Rights are a social concept, rights are granted to you by the state, therefore they are a privilege that can be revoked by the state as they see fit.

Rebuilding my personal website has legit been one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on. It was very freeing to turn it into basically an online resume, into a place that actually felt like me.

I'd recommend looking at neocities.org for Inspo. I host mine there: dakotamarshall.net

Israeli Soldiers Torched Food, Homes, and a Critical Sewage Treatment Plant in the Wake of Ceasefire Announcement Soldiers called the mass arson of Gaza City their “final touches.” Younis Tirawi and Yaniv Cogan Oct 12, 2025 In the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s announcement on Thursday that both Hamas and Israel had signed off on an agreement to stop the fighting, the Israeli military launched an arson spree, setting fire to civilian infrastructure, including the destruction of an essential sanitation plant in Gaza City. The destruction of Palestinian structures following the departure of soldiers who had used them as temporary bases has been a hallmark of Israel’s approach to Gaza for two years. In July, Israeli reporter Yuval Abraham collected testimonies from soldiers describing a myriad of arson methods. “Every Arab house we entered had olive oil [...] We poured the oil on the sofas, on anything flammable in the apartment, and then we ignited [it] or threw in a smoke grenade. This was a common practice,” one of them described. The agreement came after months of a concerted effort to render Gaza uninhabitable by destroying residences and civilian infrastructure, culminating in the ground invasion of Gaza City and the leveling of several high rises in Gaza City. In September, Israeli government minister Gila Gamliel told Channel 7 News, “We have already completely annihilated 75% of the entire [Gaza] Strip. There remains 25%, which, as you know, it too...we are now taking over [the city of] Gaza—there will be nothing left there that would really [have] the potential to be habitable.” ...

It feels really really nice to actually, physically own the things I care about. No monthly subscription to "allow me access" to it

You can still have a lot of this! I'm starting to re-own things

- I collect Blu-Rays of my favorite movies and TV Shows
- buy all my music on Bandcamp and load it on an mp3 player, no more streaming
- All of my creative stuff is put on my website that I made myself on neocities, no app or anything

been thinking about nostalgia lately but the nostalgia for like, actually owning things you pay for, not being surveilled by corporations constantly, not being forced to use an app for everything you do, less planned obsolescence, etc etc

Liberal politicians aren’t betraying you they are agents of fascism

If you believe they are your allies you will get fucked
