if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.

It keeps happening... It'd be great if these companies could spend a little bit more time on network security and a little less time vibe coding.

This is actually a place where those of us who have some seniority and no fucks to give can leverage their privilege. If someone posts a job to a list without salary info, I will IMMEDIATELY reply on-list to say “Before I forward this to great candidates who might be interested, what is the salary?

I was a huge fan of Buc-ees from when I lived in South Texas and they were the best option for a nice break on the road. Now I refuse to stop there because there are other options that aren’t right-wing copyright trolls.

Congratulations to Buc-ee's for pursuing a strategy that will cost them far more customers than just not doing anything. I knew I hated them for a reason. www.daytondailynews.com/local/they-w...

there are literally individuals on here who thrive on intentionally lying about other people in order to make themselves feel better. If someone shows you something without context, provides their own, or has a weirdly cropped post, you may find out that individual is trying to make you angry.

“This is really upsetting, is it real or is there more context?” is a thing I try to ask myself every time I get that rush of adrenaline that wants to send me into a tailspin. A lot of times it’s real! But sometimes it’s not! I wanna save my tailspin for the stuff that’s real LOL

I love you all but you are incredibly (understandably) reactive. It’s making you SO easily manipulated by rage baiters. When you see something without context, a headline or a snippet of a quote, take a deep breath and look into it to see if you really should be upset. Please protect your hearts.

if it's layoffs on ship no matter what, never pay that company for anything. why would you. your money will never reach anyone who worked on what you bought, or respected those people. you'll not be investing in anything in any sense software is on the honour system and these people have no honour

All the people who are anti-Chadley or want to mute Chadley, I have one question: If Chadley disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through Final Fantasy VII without him or the Chadley menu? Imagine Chadley was suddenly banned. Would you actually be willing to give him up?

Grading culture is a symptom of something very rotten in the modern consumer economy. There's been a sort of double-move where the once-niche economy of collecting culture has expanded to swallow up more and more while collecting culture itself has kind of evaporated.

Why? Why must everything we enjoy be sealed up with a "grade"? I get baseball cards being put in plastic because you can still enjoy both sides of the card. But a Blu-ray?

a reason that Stevens lost and other AIPAC candidates are losing despite the huge infusions of money is that Dem voters don't want to vote for a candidate who is funded by the same org who will immediately turn around and fund the Republicans

3. Silver Pines Speaking of demos I adored, this was by far one of the best I played in the recent Next Fest, an incredibly atmospheric Survival Horror game with some very striking visuals, and Silver Pines has the distinction of being the game that finally got me to watch Twin Peaks.

I'm hoping this is the last time I have to do this, it's just that the combination of paying for Jade's end-of-life services & the last $1200 security deposit installment really thrashed our finances this month.

Reposting this again because we are straight up out of money (I'm in the negatives actually) until the 15th but our car insurance will be cancelled before then if we can't cough up $250

🍂🌈🌙CosmicBunni_🌙 || Commissions Open + Looking for Work🍉@cyndervox.bsky.social · yesterday

So *slight* emergency! We just paid rent and need $250 to pay our car insurance before it lapses & cancels on us. We won't have cash till the 15th! Any tips, donos or art orders would be very helpful! Reposts are also extremely helpful! We have until Friday!

This is the exact same behavior I saw with cheaters on steam. They couldn’t believe everyone else wasn’t cheating. They were sure everyone else was cheating but just hadn’t been caught. It’s cool to see this mental defect move from 15 year old boys to powering our economy….
