It is owl awareness day. Be aware: owl.

Unless the AI bubble pops soon, we’re going to get to the point that new consumer computing hardware will be significantly less powerful than old consumer computing hardware.

this soap is disgusting, it tastes like cilantro

Hey it's almost like there's a political establishment of the center left/right that uses their influence over center-left and left voters to sway elections away from progressive candidates they prefer with propaganda such as this

May be wrong here, but my sense is there is a whole media apparatus that aggressively screens Dem candidates and cautions voters not to support the more left-wing candidate. And this is asymmetric. Credible media messengers don't police right-wing candidates the same way.

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

Stop-mo PNGtuber for @foxander.bsky.social in the style of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Foxander messaged me about the idea and it seemed so cool! He sent me drawings and screenshots for the idea I got to work, it took a bit, but I streamed most of the process and am happy with the result! #3dart #vtuber

ok but have you tried having an andgasm

…Are you kidding me? This country's treatment of voice actors is fucking abysmal. Aqua Teen Hunger Force essentially built Adult Swim, & if there were any justice, Carey Means shouldn't have to work another day in his life. Between this & Andy Merrill's trouble, i just… what the fuck. What the fuck.

I and many of my friends stream on Twitch. I say, *absolutely the fuck not*. Friends who stream on Twitch, there is a comment thread here where you can make your voices heard: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... This is the *least* they can do.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

every few months i see some little ABDL startup launch and crash their brand into a brick wall by using AI-gen content in any way and when are they gonna realize that this market is extremely vocal and extremely anti-AI and just Do Not Touch That Shit

That thing about them using the internet laws to determine whatever they want as "pornography" and then declaring it illegal took literally days to happen.

"Our Governor just signed legislation that protects children from accessing adult material online. This event mocks the very protections so many have fought for by exposing preschoolers to adult material that is not only inappropriate, but far beyond their level of cognitive development."

We all know that the ai summaries Google gives us aren't very reliable, but....what the hell is this? 😅🤣

This is what happens when you try to do something without learning how to do it first. All those apps, all those web sites, all those patches, all those Linux commits, all of them ticking time bombs because dipshits thought "vibe coding" made them real programmers.

So apparently some Hollywood reject is trying to trademark the most common word in the fandom: fursona. This impacts every furry and more importantly fursuit makers because they're trying to trademark it under Class 25 (Clothing / Robes) which includes costumes and subsequently fursuits.

This Red Robin must be a nudist establishment because the fries are bottomless.

Always a sign you’re on the right side of morality and history.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

whenever I see a self-described kinkster behave like a puritanical fascist loser, attacking kinks they're not into 'n trying to stir up harassment towards people into them:

rewatching / watching old Star Trek has showed me that people cut modern-era "nuTrek" absolutely NO slack whatsoever. the Haters forgot that every one of these shows took DOZENS of episodes to really get to anywhere good. the fact that SNW, Discovery etc were even watchable in season 1 is amazing

The sword dangling over my head had lowered a touch over night. Still not close enough that I was freaking out but I could sense its movement.
