I never got into TT and I use an extension to block out YT shorts, so you can imagine how I feel about that.

And that is a BIG if. I'm not trusting a machine with any diagnostic unless there's a human reviewing every step, and without cutting human labor using "the machine can do it faster" as an excuse.

AI being used in //assistance// tools for the medical field when dealing with checking tests or diagnosing things the human eye misses, and SUPERVISED by humans? Fine, I can see that.

But all this generative bullshit eating up resources, producing slop and dangerous misinformation? Butlerian jihad.

I need that bubble to pop soon, no matter how painful it is. It's going to drive us all mad and cook us alive by wasting so much energy and using up so much water.

Yep. The clock up left is all kinds of messed up, which is a telltale sign.

The fact that we now ALSO have to put up with AI generated videos of funny animals is making me truly wish all their data centers got flooded and short-circuited into oblivion.

Filth. Detritus. Scum.

I swear 2025 better leave Dolly Parton alone. If you have to take someone, take the orange nightmare.

Cassandra of Troy pulling at her hair, her home burning after everyone repeatedly ignored her warnings.

The amount of times family members have called me "alarmist" because "people would never allow things to go back to that".

Only to hear "I don't understand how it can be this bad in our modern world" mere months later.

Yeah, it's not like having MASTER'S in History helps me see patterns repeat.

Hi, I'm a trans Californian who reported on the CA bills. This headline is misleading at best. You haven't noted that he has until the 12th to sign the other bills, leaving that out is irresponsible and fearmongers.

People can and should still pressure him on those bills.

Time to walk out into the woods to avoid hearing any of that

Gavin Newsom fucking sucks, part MCXVII

he still has until the end of the week for the rest of the bills so unfortunately it’s time to suck it up, call his office, and politely ask this living hairpiece to do the bare minimum to protect the most vulnerable among us

Yeaaaah... at this point we just do what we can because the whole internet is filled with poison, aka models scraping every single website out there even if not in the ToS or with an built-in thing like this

This possibility is why I glaze ALL my stuff -just- in case

Burying my face in Leomon's tiddies would fix this

Mood has been in the dumps today for no reason besides *vaguely gestures at everything*. I need something to INFUSE that serotonin into my cerebellum.

yeah big deal I can transition when I see a man twice my size who I want to get me pregnant too. fish aren't special 🙄

100% serious though, the end of these dark age regimes needs to come with the same energy as the fall of the Berlin Wall in '89.

Since we like riding nostalgia so bad, can we just bring back the multiculturalism and positive science and climate action from the 90s?

The racism and xenophobia from 2001 onwards can stay dead in a ditch though, thank you.

There was something inspirational growing up in this era, so much hope through science and cooperation

Which is why is feels so awful becoming an adult when anti-intellectualism and pride in lacking empathy have taken root

WOW....👀👀👀

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Take a wrecking ball and a bulldozer to that gaudy ass ballroom and concrete patio as soon as he's gone.

There needs to be a full blown damnatio memoriae once this damn regime is over.

Scrape his face, words and touch from every surface they have defiled.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

you're already seeing & will see more stories about how various attempts at reducing energy use "aren't working," etc -- those are propaganda. this is fantastic
