Is it because they openly muse about replacing humans with technology as if human beings were a problem to be solved through elimination, is it that.

They're even more unpopular than data centers.

EVERY STORY ABOUT BEAVERS FOR THE LAST DECADE READS LIKE: WE RELEASED A DOZEN PADDLE TAILED LITTLE FREAKS AND THEY IMMEDIATELY BEGAN A TERRAFORMING PROJECT THAT REVERSED A CENTURY OF ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE IN THREE WEEKS.

Speaking of Dobby, I often think about how people who haven’t read those books would be surprised to learn just how many pages are devoted to defending slave labour

Um okay.

Your regular reminder: AI has no place in fandom.

It's such a bizarre experience having kids and regularly watching kids content and recognizing how many behaviors are displayed as villainous that are currently being lifted up as virtue in real life

Say what you will about Disney but long before Male Influencers were ever part of the public imagination they warned us about what a danger insecure aura farmers are to the community.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

My main worry is that we’re banning social media for kids but not AI. So you can’t speak to real people online anymore, kids, but you sure can talk to your fake artificial friend who weirdly loves to talk about taking your own life!

Anthony Stewart Head will always be a real one for this. RIP www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/20/a...

I’ve never watched a single episode of Euphoria and I’ve been grieving what happens in the finale for the last few days.

valid to criticise but honestly I think it's worse: I think he is lying. I think he got into politics because he exposed himself to public comment on Twitter and kept getting his ass kicked in every post I think he's scapegoating her now to reframe his choices as acts of conviction for his family

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Thinking about why women might not want to use a product that has forced itself into every software interface to confidently shout things that are wrong

People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own.

Why is our pension fund invested outside of Canada at all?

Canada's National Observer@nationalobserver.com · 4mo ago

The Trump administration has seized $120M USD owned by the Canadian pension fund earmarked for a wind development — and demanding the pension-backed company invest in fossil fuels instead.

Really super fucking rude of Noah Kahan to write an entire album about my relationship with my dad.

Feels flippant to use the term Streisand Effect here, but that's what happened. Japan ensured a statue very few people would've seen and even fewer would've understood won't be put up, and instead people all over the world are going to read about their system of sexual slavery during WWII.

New Zealand officials reject ‘comfort women’ statue after objections from Japan

Statue recognising Japan’s sexual slavery of up to 200,000 women in second world war will no longer be erected in Auckland

My goodness Diet Pepsi is vile.

I spent 6 months working for a Swiss NGO researching the tactics used by Big Oil and how similar they are to Big Tobacco’s tactics, and I can tell you that the ones used by ‘Big AI’ are virtually identical.
