Early voting is on! Beat the rush, vote now! Here's how! More exclamation points!!!!!!!! Okay, in all seriousness, early voting may be more important this year than ever. So go now. Actually, you might want to wait till tomorrow morning or something? It is kind of late right now.

Since a dev shared his game concept last month, Steam has been flooded with vibe-coded slop clones. This is what "democratising creativity" actually looks like. Even with AI, your ideas are worthless as long as they can be plagiarised at scale. Gen AI was designed for plagiarism, NOT creativity.

Seeing how #VRChat handles the AI situation in the game, it would be appropriate to update my hoodie with fitting design. If anyone else wants to do the same on their avatar, stencils are in the post below 🔽

I will not be creating for a platform that both uses and promotes AI generated content. #VRChat please join me in placing this poster in your worlds. share it and edit it freely, spread it as far as you can. nothing is going to change if we don't put our foot down now. vrc.group/NOAI.3843

Today is a good day to register to vote! So do it! What are you waiting for? It literally takes a minute or two! (Unless you live in like six of the states that don't have online registration yet cuz, you know, suppression stuff...) But register right now! It's free and it's punk AF to vote!

This is definitely accurate, it's a road to enshitifiaction, because your whole priority system changes. If you want to keep a company/project from getting enshitified - support them however you can. I know from experience that trying to survive as company where you keep control can be very rough.

if you’re a games company that wants to survive it has been proven over and over again you need to do whatever it takes to stay away from being publicly traded. you’ll be turned into wood chips the moment it’s convenient.

I ran some numbers, and I think I can give you one heck of a good reason to vote in November. Especially the younger crowd. And yes, this video is in fact cursed. You will probably cringe about 43 seconds in.

This 100%. If you get angry at a platform and threaten to stop supporting or leave, fuckin own up and pull the trigger. What's that? Its inconvenient? YEAH, it kind of is! Change can be annoying sometimes! Ya know what else is? Having your rights eroded. I would argue that's more inconvenient.

i stg most people who are vehement against age verification will do anything but jump shop early. discord said they would be adding age checks and everyone lost their shit, "cancel ur nitro" they all proclaimed, discord panicked and pushed it back; not halting but simply waiting and moving (cont.)

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

I'm done using AI

Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

while I was already planning on boycotting this game, this is important information for people who are still on the fence, and now upgrades this game to the category of 'I will explode you if you try to make me care about it, don't ever talk to me about this thing'

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

Boycott The New York Times

For years The New York Times has relentlessly pushed anti-trans propaganda, playing a significant role in the escalating genocide against us. It's far past time for a call to action: anyone who cares ...
