Anyone use a music service besides apple or spotify that has a no gen ai promise? I would like to give them money to get rid of ai music in my recommended.

As a proud IBEW member. I believe in unions for every industry. This union will take care of laid off game devs. $10 at minimum for over 100 games is insane.

I want trans women in shared, women-only spaces with me. I want them to be my sisters and friends and mentors and confidants.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

In April, we reported on the MSG surveillance machine–an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. You can now read it for free.

Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more.

Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah is GOAT. I’ve been listening to Grace on repeat and it’s honestly one of the best albums I’ve ever heard. How did I never listen to this before?

Live for some chitchat and demos after two weeks of back-to-back travel!

Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation: “The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”

I’m doing a film on trans peoples lives, about us by us and made by us.. I’m looking for people to interview and film that would wish to get involved. Here’s something from the weekends protest in Sheffield. youtu.be/b3oMGH_M2-w?...

I sincerely hope there is a way to opt out of this stupidly out of touch feature that Twitch announced today. Generative AI is terrible for people, creativity, jobs, our brains and the environment (just to name a few things)

Twitch will soon use AI to add a Midstream Summary for viewers, giving a brief overview of what's happened on stream so far.

Im in Rotterdam for TwitchCon! What are people doing tonight!

I had Sam’s Town from The Killers stuck in my head this morning so I popped it into my headphones and died when I noticed it was released in 2006 💀

hey so lots going on i know but this right here is a whole fucking slow motion ongoing tragedy

Cuba's minister of energy confirmed reserves are gone — with just enough diesel left to keep hospitals online. The UN has classified Washington's blockade a humanitarian crisis.

On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world 😍 airesistlist.org

FYI on the @lupus.org fundraising event I will be participating in on Saturday. I am profoundly disappointed to see RecreateGames hosting a gen ai contest and will not be playing their game, going forward. The cause is important; shortsighted companies continue to disappoint. f*ck ai.

Event organizers of the GOTEL x Twitch Unity Guild Party Animals tournament have been made aware of the social media post by Party Animals and their promotion of the AI contest. 🧵👇🏽
