The polls are closed! Queen won in a landslide victory. However, members of Pluey's party won important smaller victories in many battleground states, securing exclusive rights to crochet denim cozies for Tenna's antennas. Thanks for voting!

The first Gen AI ad I saw that showed a use case scenario was a person had to read a screenplay and then didn't, so they trick the person they're meant to do this for into thinking they did. The entire purpose of this technology is to trick people and it turns out no one likes being tricked.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

When you laughed at the bully that annoys your friend group because they've been making arts of him as a girl with boobs and no personality other than being a tsundere but then found out you also have those fanarts even tho it's not a trend about you

These billionaire freaks keep loudly insisting they have utopian ideals, they keep obsessively trying to turn their app into the everything app, they keep trying to metastasize their empire like cancer to consume the entire economy. They so clearly see heterotopias as a threat.

what a fantastic all-timer thread on this phenomena and the psychology behind it I think about this all the time and not understanding this is the difference between successful liminal horror, and just horrorslop. liminal horror is about the baked-in hostility of public spaces we millenials saw die

The reason young people vibe with liminal horror is that the wealthy have spent the last half century destroying all anthropological spaces they can exist in, leaving *only* non-places en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-place

on the topic of your opinion, this isn't a matter of "i respect your opinion but disagree with it." if your opinion opposes the rights, portrayal, and existence of a group instead of your own personal preferences, you are not engaging with respect.
