Wake me when an ai “breaks containment”, gets into HR, finds 7500 employees illegally misclassified as contractors and files their paperwork with the local departments of labour and/or employment for years of backpay.

If you use AI for your advertisement flyers, I'm going to make assumptions about you. I'm going to assume you cut corners on everything. If you're a bakery, I'm going to assume you use poor quality ingredients. If you're a handyman, same thing, I'll assume you cut corners on your work.

The surge of pride when your kid sends you a good meme

big tech hasn't come up with anything paradigm-shifting and useful since the smartphone in 2008 and I'm tired of all the shit they keep shoving down our throats trying to recapture that high

the AI companies made apps that trick dumb people into thinking the app is smart and creative, while smart people aren't fooled. this would have been a fatal mistake, if it weren't for the fact that every venture capital investor and every manager is a dumb guy

Now would be a really good time for cis allies to start wearing trans pride badges and make it even more impossible for the toilet police to determine who is and isn’t trans

ftr "you cannot engage with harry potter without jkr profiting" includes piracy. you are still giving it attention. you are still keeping it in the social consciousness. you are still, probably, talking about it to someone. you have to let it go. you have to fucking let it go.

Can’t believe it’s been a year since we released our 1st episode! We have come such a long way (a long road?) since Jamie asked what “NX-01” meant and we couldn’t remember any character’s names and just referred to all the white men by which accent they had. #startrekenterprise

Happy Enterprisesplaining launch day! We released our first two episodes today, both about the pilot of Star Trek Enterprise! You’ll finally get to hear why we think Klingons are space Australians, why Phlox may be a homeopath, and why we think the Enterprise is the equivalent of WeWork.

We have got to figure out a way to break the cycle of “humans find ways to prevent bad things from happening, bad things stop happening for so long that humans forget they’re possible and remove the mechanisms of prevention, and bad things start happening again”

“Taxpayers money should not be spent on…” Trans people - THEY PAY TAX Muslims - THEY PAY TAX Disabled peoples welfare - THEY PAY TAX LGBTQ initiatives - WE PAY TAX DEI initiatives - WE PAY TAX Income, VAT, council, stamp duty, National insurance… WE ALL PAY TAX. Stop this bullshit

Please stop using the planet destroying slop machine that is generative AI. No, it's not okay to use it for leftist or progressive causes. You don't stand with the working class or marginalized people by stealing their art without compensation.

The Scottish have won the AI Wars.

As social media turns into slop, maybe we can go back to personal websites, listed in human-curated directories. I mean, why not? If we brought gifs back, surely we can bring the "homepage" back. After all, homepages were the gif's original habitat.

At a time when LOTS of companies are pulling back on DE&I initiatives, we're more determined than ever to continue creating a safe space for minorities at our workshops. Thank you so much to all the companies who have continued to support us ❤️

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

Fuck "do not comply in advance." Do not fucking comply at any point! Ever! Fascism is bad even if it's technically "the law!"

oh what the hell? the Prince Charles is at risk because of potential dickhead developers? truly they can fuck all the way off you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Save The Prince Charles Cinema

The iconic Prince Charles Cinema in London’s West End future is under serious threat! We are beyond disappointed that our landlords Zedwell LSQ Ltd and their ultimate parent company Criterion Capital...

OpenAI: China stole our tech!! Luddites: Oh weird how'd you make your tech in the first place OpenAI: 😡

Fanta was created so coke could sell soda in nazi Germany around a trade embargo. IBM sold the machines that were used to track and tabulate holocaust victims. Henry Ford inspired Hitler. Big business has always collaborated with fascism. Today's businesses are bastards who are no different.

"What trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?" Wages. They're trying to use it to solve having to pay wages.

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

Are you a Caribbean game dev? Do you know any that aren't on this list? Let @spritewrench.com know to add you!!! go.bsky.app/9nX2iKc

Problem with referring to AI errors as "hallucinations" is that it makes them seem like something abnormal when in fact it's the exact same process it uses to produce every response

For over a year, the Biden admin has been pretending to be working for a ceasefire & for increasing humanitarian aid in Gaza, all while arming & supporting Israel's genocide there. In their closing days, they are no longer pretending. May this monstrosity haunt them forever.

BREAKING: U.S. vetoes UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, with 14 votes in favor and only the U.S. voting against.
