I’m ready to be a CEO. I promise to take on debt, fire anyone who seems better than me at anything, and insist you’re going to love my product that kills you

New: As gay bars across the country say that Meta is flagging and deactivating their accounts without warning, I spoke to an Austin queer bar that says Meta nearly destroyed their ability to advertise events: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

LEAVE ME ALONE

boner of a lonely fart

I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local merchant princes attempt to bribe theologians and the Pope’s advisors so the Pope will issue a favorable proclaimation”

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I know most of you guys don't go on the other app but the pope posted an anti AI/ pro artists statement yesterday, and the ensuing cope and memes is really funny

Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

I wrote a little piece about the ongoing battle for the soul of software as a craft, where we've been, and where I hope we're going

For sickos, by sickos. https://store.theonion.com/products/c2e2-onion-keychain-copy

there's still this idea among some ai boosters that ai in law is gonna level the playing field for poor people/give them better access to law but so far it's been like: your state appointed attorney will shit out the worst possible ai-generated bullshit and you'll rot in prison

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

‘FORGOTTEN ISLAND’ includes a legal notice in its credits prohibiting the film from being used to train AI models: “This work may not be used to train AI.”

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

THE CLANS HEIR IS A TRANS WOMAN (2013) is like Steven Seagal decided to Write/Direct/Star in a love letter to his trans friends, but it looks and feels like every action movie he's made... except Hitoshi Ozawa is way way way way cooler than Seagal.

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Jarnathan from the Dungeons & Dragons movie has been credibly accused of wire fraud but his fans never talk about it

Do you know how much has to have gone wrong for me to not like the internet

if there's anything i've learned after 15 years in this goddamn city, it's that finding someone who isn't a scumbag or a liar is harder than finding a thimble, a clock, a hula hoop, an hourglass, a picture frame, a duvet cover, a cookie tin, a claw hammer, a basketball, a toothbr
