Extrapolating from my Fable usage during the "First Taste is Free" period, I will be on the hook for about $6,000/mo in order to keep using it.

This time last year I was a $20/mo user. Today I'm a $200/mo user. I wonder what I'll be in for this time next year.

"I hope that this shares with people that are incarcerated on Rikers, that they too are a part of this city. The World Cup has been a magical moment for the entire city. These are New Yorkers, and they will be New Yorkers when they get out of Rikers. They are New Yorkers today." ♥️♥️♥️

Unfortunately, we have bad news to share. Paizo has decided to end our partnership, effective July 24th. We have prepared a statement with some details about AoN going forward. We hope to continue to support the community and wish no ill will towards Paizo. www.archivesofnethys.com/agreement.html

While the AI bubble is primarily a *material* phenomenon (driven by the calculation that bosses are easy marks for a sales pitch for replacing workers with apps), there is an inescapable ideological component to it: the desire for a world without people in it: pluralistic.net/2026/05/13/v... 1/

CEO Reveals How He Used AI To Build One-Person Company That's $1.3 Billion In Debt

i love my artist friends and peers i love you and your art i love when you make art i love when you give yourself a break i love when you rest i love when you come back in love with making your art again

I feel angst, skepticism and despair about so-called AI. My greatest fear, though, is that it may not be a bubble. Or perhaps: that we're so deeply invested in it that even if it is a bubble, we will sooner reorganize society to keep the momentum going than allow it collapse.

AI is great. It's allowed software developers to build their towers taller and taller. Soon they will reach Heaven and greet God

Daniel's permissioned data proposal just dropped!! This will be a major upgrade for atproto that enables private groups & communities. Really hope this technical design resonates with people so we can keep moving fast, but please do get your comments in

I made a little iPhone app that uses the on-device model to sort your shopping list by aisle. Paste in a big list, add stores, tweak aisles to match your store’s layout, and share lists with your household. Nice for starting at one end and working your way across :) apps.apple.com/us/app/lettu...

The Selfish Meme

Gordon@gordon.bsky.social · last mo.

Discourse deliberately steers into the most useless intractable not-even-wrong framing that can be generated for any given issue. The meme doesn’t want the problem solved. If the problem were solved, people would stop propagating the meme. The meme wants to propagate.

unbounded possible negatives imply unbounded possible coercion to prevent them i.e. "since we don't know how bad it can get, we can justify any arbitrary level of violence to halt it" which is how you get exclusive state/spook control over it and the starting point of an unbreakable fascism

Big Tech is organized crime. Most people won’t engage with that statement. They don’t want to confront what it means — how huge the problem is and how hard it will be to fix. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s true. Big Tech is organized crime.

Meta sure sounds eager to get young people hooked on online gambling

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

Are smartphones causing people to have fewer children? A provocative new working paper explores the persistent drop in birth rates since the iPhone was introduced nearly two decades ago.

Lots of snarky quotes to my post on group chats so for all the privileged folks, consider the consequences of an innocuous message into the group chat about how maybe we should not shop at certain places because of their ties.

anyway happy ipo day to all the progressive tech workers and managers who are buying shares in defense and other fascism-aligned companies because you feel it’s owed to you after you had to face a little adversity in the 2020s lol losers

if i asked elon musk for 1 billion in cash he couldn’t do it even if he wanted to, that’s how fake money is

I love being too dangerous for an AI to even talk to

this is what not being HTTP-locked means. this is why i got hooked on the idea of a transport-agnostic web even before i left Mozilla. atproto isn't perfect, but it's a good part of the way there, and at the right time.

Who’s building llama.cpp but for people who like AI

Eris@isolyth.dev · 2mo ago

Fuck llama.cpp. but whatever, if their AI policy means they don't want the 40% faster kernel Claude wrote, then fine! I won't share it!
