I've been a player in an AI-pilled DM's online campaign and it was my most miserable roleplay experience in a long while. Miss me if you'd rather type prompts into Claude than full sentences at your players. You can probably prompt it to pretend to be an utterly disillusioned player for you instead.

i'd say "pay attention to who has kind things to say about rod liddle, the racist pedophile, following his death" but to no surprise it is the entirety of the mainstream british press
You'll likely know @tomhumberstone.com from various things (his comic on the Luddites went large), but he's got a new one on the Gig Economy, couriers, the history of all that, specifics of exploitations and the fight against that. Read it, and spread it around. Strong. tomhumberstone.com/just-work

Of course the influencer-branded shopping bags can be had for less than a third of the price online, brandless and direct from the factory. Most "fancy" things you buy are Chinese-made tat at 200% markup. Have you been living in material reality for the last decade or two?

Shiv Ramdas Mens Rice Activist@nameshiv.bsky.social · 4d agogotta respect Warhammer over every other franchise because long before devs were shipping out broken games at full price on the promise of a patch in a few weeks they were handing us unfinished toys and a bucket of paint and telling us to go make memories

Hey I've been gloating to people that inefficient computers are about to permanently destroy their livelihoods for three fucking years. Why won't they "let me" "make" "art" - are they evil
I won't use generative AI to talk to other humans, or to perform any task I want to be more skilled at. The thought of the former happening to me fills me with enough loathing to want to never inflict it on anyone, and for the latter the un-skilling effect of having things done for you worries me.
Such a weird time to be alive with “Nazi self described warrior class leader who has a mullet and only wears Hawaiian shirts and only showers when his employees are visibly bothered by his stink who is a major defense contractor with a 2nd evil corporation named after LOTR is making a n64 clone”

THE SECRET DUTCH ANIME. If you tell people the lore of the show she's from, they'll think you're high. If you tell them its target audience was Dutch kids, in the 80s, their heads might straight up explode.

Liberate yourself from both the things and the ppl who would constrain you in both mind and body. Radicalize your mind and teach yourself to think beyond the norms & comforts you were taught. Especially if the things you were taught are poison to both you and to others. Kill the cop in your head.

my extreme emotional response to this has been instantly clarifying: im like a starving man. the absence of inspirational leaders who appeal to my better angels and challenge me to do more has been completely corrosive. how can any community live like this, with no lived moral center at all
