Homophobia and Transphobia are concrete signs you’re a fucking idiot that is way too involved in other people’s lives and you should get your own. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

I’m presdisposed to Doctorow’s position here, but this really resonates: “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” www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.

Analysts estimate that 70%+ of Microsoft, Google and Amazon's present and future AI revenues are from Anthropic and OpenAI's compute spend and model sales. Outside of two unsustainable AI labs, demand barely exists, and they've massively overbuilt capacity. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-deman...

Just realized I never shared this here TMNT art in the style of old Bengus art (circa MvC1.) Made the Turtles, and was initially just going to add April O'Neil, ended up adding Splinter, Bebop and Rocksteady as well. I made these during a number of livestreams. Could be fun to add more.

Once again pointing out hypocrisy means nothing if you don’t plan to do anything about it. Corey Booker more than likely hasn’t even thought of doing anything about it. He thought of this speech, how it’d make him look, and that’s it. Hope he gets more money from this I guess?
