Taller than Charizard, but that ain't much to write home about. I write poems about cilantro (and a few other things).
Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.
Edd Coates | Game UI Database@eddcoates.bsky.social · last wk.Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

he's saying the quiet part loud here, ai allows white filmmakers to control racial and ethnic minorities in an attempt to make them appear complicit in their own racist slander. paul schrader likes ai because it allows him to have a black actor that he owns.

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

the long trauma of covid will be with us so long as people live in denial of the fact that covid is not over
The Fig Economy@figgityfigs.bsky.social · 2mo agoOne of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.
I'll always adore Oshii's vision of Ghost in the Shell but seeing everyone else who grew up with it as a serious, philosophical series realize that Shirow was a nasty freak with horrible fashion sense is filling me with unbridled glee

Indivisible ❌👑@indivisible.org · 3mo agoThis is bigger than one incident. At events across Texas today, Indivisible groups are standing with immigrant communities and demanding accountability from DHS and ICE.
ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.
ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

It remains true that the assertion of personal comfort/convenience at the cost of overall good is a fascistic impulse.
Boo!-per Lund@cooperlund.online · 3mo agoOne of the reasons why the ongoing meltdown about Zohran asking people to set their A/C to 78 bothers me is that it seems to be a symptom of post-COVID unwillingness for individuals to do anything for the common good, and if we don’t have that we’re in a very bad place as a society.
ICE has made 10,000 arrests in a five-day period— doubling its arrest numbers— and much of it hasn’t been reaching headlines. The U.S. has been wrapped up in festivities with several cities hosting the FIFA World Cup, including Seattle, and with Pride events and parades. Read more below & subscribe
