NEW: Over the last few months, Meta has run dozens of paid ads that included AI-generated CSAM. The ads, some of which were linking out to “nudify” apps, targeted men in the US, UK, and a dozen European countries. Some were running in the last few days

everything is speculation now. everyone who threw out or gave away their pokemon cards or video games from 30 years ago has been driven mad by the thought that they could have made upwards of several hundred dollars off them

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?

Art-making is a long term puzzle game where you try to match human beings with the weird stuff in your inventory, so they give you new inventory items.

Gonna be blunt, the reason I complain about AI so much is because it's made so much extra work for me, as I'm inundated with AI slopware games that I have to sort through and filter out, if this garbage tech ceased to exist tomorrow, it would be an immediate ease of that workload.

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

Listen, strokes/folks etc, but "Batman Begins > Barry Lyndon" should trigger a wellness check

Wednesday of Guest Week can only mean one thing: A hilarious comic from the one and only @pseudonymjones.bsky.social swanboy.com/comic/swan-b...

Dwarf Fortress 53.16 is up. Another quality of life patch, this also fixes up some issues like invisible divine items and the one where a dwarf ordering a drink at a tavern with multiple staff would be served a drink by every staff member, sometimes resulting in acute alcohol poisoning.

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Business Elite Access Shredding is thing I didn’t know I loved… until now

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 22h ago

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Congratulations @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! Outspent 11 to 1, Abdul proved that people-powered campaigns can still beat big money. Michiganders chose hope over fear, and a future rooted in dignity, justice, and opportunity.

Thank you, Michigan. I love you from the bottom of my heart!

Why does the small blue hedgehog run? Is it perhaps a futile attempt to escape the yawning void at the heart of contemporary society?

Juro que tem dias que eu acordo pensando nisso aqui:

Anyone who spins AES's victory after getting outspent ~9:1, including ~4.5:1 by AIPAC alone, as anything less than stunning is lying to you/is Politico

This is a pretty good summary of why this stuff has zero appeal to anyone who actually enjoys making anything, and there will never be anything Ai companies can do about that. (Green absolutely torching his own credibility is just an astonishing unforced error. Write your own words!)

The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

waow, trump said they've largely negotiated a deal with iran?? that's the best news ive heard since yesterday when they negotiated a deal with iran, and 2 days ago when they negotiated a deal with iran, and 3 days ago when they

no matter the margin this is one of the worst, most disgraceful campaigns in the modern history of the democratic party. abdul can't say it because he has to make nice with these racist freaks so I fucking will.

there will be a myth built here that Stevens ran a good campaign and the truth is anyone vaguely competent could have won with a 9-1 spending advantage and AIPAC nearly bought a senator

Every time they open their mouths, I swear to god, it’s a confession of how pitiful they are. They are so hopelessly addicted to the sycophantic lie machine that everyone else HAS to be using it too. “Checkmate!” they scream as they slowly turn to reveal their soiled trousers

I have one answer.

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

what a lot of people are calling electability is straight islamophobia. there is simply no way to stop where the united states is going with this level of islamophobia. it will get worse before it gets better at this rate. we're not able to agree that "camps for kids" is wrong.

When Trump wins by 2% it's the unanimous Mandate of Heaven for the next 1,000 Year Reich, but when one dude in a Dem primary can't get shooed offstage despite being outspent by a factor of 8.75 fair and square, suddenly it's "divisive?" OK!1!!!1!

10 years of centrist chuds complaining about bernie bros flipping to trump and now they‘d rather vote for wife beaters and genocide deniers than an arabic guy lmfao

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.
