Re: slop, I saw this other take today

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

I really like the new video. I had so much fun making it. I dig the way I structured it. I loved putting all the little flourishes in the final edit. I played with a bunch of visual techniques I haven't used before, without overwhelming myself. it's nice to enjoy my job. youtu.be/IlCPnaJyZL4?...

I fucking hate AI almost as much as I hate the sniveling asshole billionaires and shithole corporations who have all forced it into every conceivable spot in our lives. It literally makes everything worse and it makes us worse and I fucking hate it.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

It's extremely cool that @cascadecascade.com is making enough money to consistently expand and improve upon itself while also paying its writers what I think might be the actual highest rate in the space for good hobby writing. (I encourage other outlets to prove us wrong!!)

CASCADE CASCADE - SUMMER VACATION@cascadecascade.com · last wk.

we are pleased to announce that all writers for Issue 2 are getting paid $200 an article! This is a marked raise from Issue 1s $135, already a rate we were very proud of. This is, once again, possibly because of every reader’s monetary support of the publication. Thanks gamers <3

Hey, Khangi and I are trying to pay rent. It’s pretty hard to find a new place to live if we’re unhoused. We need another $200 to finish July’s rent.

Makoto Shinkai’s Blockbuster Anime Your Name Is Returning to North American Theaters in a New 4K Remaster for Its 10th Anniversary

As promised, here are my thoughts on Roaming Throne and why the card has been bugging me for a bit. To me, the card symbolizes a greater issue with modern-day Commander design (and makes games rather predictable as a result). RT's welcome! bit.ly/roaming-throne #MTGCommander

Rituals are the place to be in Commander. It's why the typal-treasure sword Orcrist is so huge for White decks in particular. That said, does Dragon's Desire offer a compelling alternative to Dockside? Or should you wait a turn and Mana Geyser? blog.cardkingdom.com/did-dragons-...

Did Dragon's Desire Finally Fix Dockside Extortionist? - Card Kingdom Blog

Dockside Extortionist was banned in Commander in September 2024. It’s a busted little Magic card, and while many were sad to see it go, it was simply too powerful for the format as written. What would...

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

The report menu is the most reaf governance document your studio owns. Let's talk about what the gap between a code of conduct says a studio cares about and what the report menu can actually express ... because that discrepancy comes at a cost. open.substack.com/pub/rachelko...

Why can nobody can agree on what "harm" in games is?

There is a gap between what studios say is harmful and what they actually let you report.

In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...

Segante in OMENS OF CHAOS was trans from the moment he showed up in the outline, and I never had to fight, at any stage of the book, to keep him that way: all the people involved with this story understood why he was important.

I want to say this whole campaign has been wonderful to see. As a woman who plays Magic, having something like this sends a clear message and you should support it as much as you can. One thing I noticed MagicCon Amsterdam is the number of women and marginalized groups that are playing Magic now.
