Repeatedly pointing at the sign as I go rapidly insane in this accursed industry
Timnit Gebru@timnitgebru.blacksky.app · last wk.Tech reporters not only do press-release-as-a-service, but also want to regularly talk to those of us who have been working in these disciplines from so many angles, with their uninformed and credulous takes🙄
You gotta hand it to OpenAI, billing this as a *partnership* between OpenAI & Hugging Face when what actually happened was Hugging Face finding out that OpenAI was using a bunch of bots to exploit security vulnerabilities. Talk about good marketing or whatever you want to call it, by OpenAI.

The gutting of id software by Microslop is one of the most dumbfounding business idiot decisions I’ve ever seen. Torching goodwill with gamers and devs alike and breaking up a studio with a 35 year track record of delivering certified bangers is knowingly-slamming-the-car-door-on-your-dick stupid.
Was recently shopping for EV’s and every piece of marketing highlights the insane 0-60 times on vehicles that weigh 5000lbs plus. Seems really bad actually.
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 3mo agoA big challenge when it comes to preventing speeding is that every car ad is like, "Speed! Faster! Speed! The world is yours to speed through! Go fast! Zoom!"
As a Canadian (confirmation pending) that’s a huge bummer but as a hockey fan it really doesn’t get much better than that

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 6mo agoNoem: "An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently." Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit. Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.
I stopped trying to debate software developers on LLMs a while back. It's fruitless. Even if they could be budged on empirical grounds, they are explicitly fine with using tools that are themselves deeply unethical.
Frantically Googling what I need to do to watch Minnesota Wild games for approximately the next season and a half
Incredible. 11/10 online checkout experience Microsoft, no notes. I have 17 Xbox games in my cart from your heavily advertised Black Friday sale. Deliberately flushing any goodwill you had left with gamers down the toilet, true business geniuses at work.
Excellent thread. Makes me wonder how many other undervalued player archetypes are out there.
Micah McCurdy @hockeyviz.com · 9mo agoHere's a thread of some scattered thoughts about Jordan Spence, first star of last night's Ottawa win over Utah. He is a very good and very unusual player, which is to say: my favourite kind of player.

Absolutely gutted this place closed. Apparently their landlord jacked up the rent by 40%, fucking ghouls littlejumbo.ca

Just cleared a level of Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods I had been stuck on for more than a year (because I’m an aging masochist who refuses to lower the difficulty from Ultra Violence). Feels good man. Rip and tear, until it is done.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
Really wanted to like Atomfall but the clunky combat and completely broken stealth mechanics outweigh any interest and intrigue I’ve found so far in the story. Think I’m gonna uninstall and maybe revisit if/when they fix a few rough edges.
Finished Avowed yesterday, what a delightful game. Aesthetically gorgeous, solid story with real consequences to decisions, well written companions (even wet blanket Marius) and combat that was tight and satisfying. They also gave you incentive to explore, with stuff hidden everywhere. Recommend!
If the last thing I see before the heat death of Twitter was @shaynagoldman.bsky.social posting Adam Fantilli’s hat trick footage then so be it

To all my mutuals who managed to secure the bag by going to work at Meta (and there are quite a few of you), I respect the hustle but you must understand you are complicit in the fully enshittified, rot economy monster you have helped create
DuendeonFuego@duendeonfuego.bsky.social · 2y agoyou should see Meta for what it is: a dying industry giant whose business model is almost entirely predicated on scamming the elderly with bots, disinformation, and AI-generated slop it is a parasite network
