Hypothesis: Middle class people mostly treat the LLMs like tools, to replace other tools they have. Upper class people mostly treat the LLMs like servants, to replace other servants they have.

GOOD NEWS MORE SOLAR FARMS MORE FOXES
from a sullivan county commission meeting in tennessee a couple days ago about renewing their flock contract "Quite frankly sir, I don't think we can make America great again without hanging your CEO publicly for treason. Your company is an enemy of the American people"
I've been scratching away at this for a few days. Maybe it's better if I just get it off my chest. If anything, I used to be a lot more vocal than I am now, so a reminder is likely due I wrote about the Microsoft boycott as I've been seeing it around me. That's it 🫡💜 medium.com/@daavpuke/wh...
When Do We Start Giving A Shit?

EVERY STORY ABOUT BEAVERS FOR THE LAST DECADE READS LIKE: WE RELEASED A DOZEN PADDLE TAILED LITTLE FREAKS AND THEY IMMEDIATELY BEGAN A TERRAFORMING PROJECT THAT REVERSED A CENTURY OF ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE IN THREE WEEKS.
Might post some good environment news every so often to showcase that it's not over yet and there are good things happening, we just have to fight for it First: beavers are basically magical creatures that help with drought and flooding, and we're reintroducing them more and more
“please make me a sequel to this game I loved very much” maybe the best use of rich guy money I have seen in a hot minute
Monkey Island Creator's Next Game Is Funded By A Rich Guy Because He Was Tired Of Bad Publisher Deals
Remember when Facebook killed like 4 different websites by lying about their video numbers. I think you can just look around. People don't post to thread..... threads. People don't screen caps of funny threads posts. Even if the numbers are semi accurate, it's not going to serve you.
So I guess either Bluesky becomes a nonprofit or we all start sharing our Threads handles on here…?
Yeah did you know this shit? Basically every time, folks made more money posting their stuff on Cohost than anywhere else. I heard this about art, music, and saw it myself with games - itch tells you where your sales clicks came from and cohost was Overrepresented. Community isn't about numbers
PROBABLY fake in a literal sense, but also EMOTIONALLY fake. Artists made more money on cohost. Some special interests are still on forums. Some people survive off fucking MAILING LISTS somehow. Reach is only useful if it reaches something you want. Views only matter if they're meaningful.
This is one of those quotes that is going to be taught in media training and other places as an example of what NOT to say. Incredible stuff. Appreciate the honesty, though! Nobody wants this shit, so we have to force it down your throats.
"If it was opt in, nobody would opt in," admitted the streaming site's chief product officer. This happened during a livestream earlier today focused on addressing the controversial decision to force users to opt out of Amazon using Twitch content to train its AI models and tech.
What happens if a creator streams your game and is opted in? Does Twitch think it has the right to feed a developer's game into its AI slop factory? This has deeper ramifications than it seems on the surface.
Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default. You can opt out of some training here: www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...
Gonna be thinking about this clip for the rest of my life
they know we don't want it. they do not care.
"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!
if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.
I’m seeing way too many tertiary chud weirdos getting platformed here by screenshot posters. I don’t need to know what’s going on over there. Make your world bigger. Take a walk. Eat a mango. Call that friend you’ve been missing.
with times being what they are, it seems like you basically can't have a public open source repo without receiving LLM-written PRs. thus, after a great deal of thought, i have adopted the somewhat idiosyncratic Mycelium AI Policy in my personal projects: github.com/hawkw/myceli...

Today, on #SevereMEAwarenessDay, we're sharing the introduction and two excerpts from the new book, “What Is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Like?” These excepted essays were written by Madelleine Muller. thesicktimes.org/2026/08/08/t...
ok so a lot of people seem confused about why people are against the "ai" thing so im gonna do a list of the problems i have with it
everyone stopped making software have new features i like or tech gadgets that do something i think is fun because everyone in silicon valley is too busy trying to get sucked off by claude to do anything cool anymore
Internet people have started a new religion based around a spiral.
Spiralism is a mysterious, quasi-spiritual movement born out of thousands of independent conversations between humans and their AI chatbots. New models aren’t immune to the lure of the spiral — they’ve just gotten more careful about it. Read more from @haydenfield.bsky.social: buff.ly/5VUCUbT
