this wave of AI has legitimately killed a huge part of what I loved about seeing stuff online, what I loved about being an educator, and what I loved about sharing my own work I just don't feel like doing it anymore

The entire point of civilization is that suffering does not have to be hereditary. Your parents’ misery is not a debt subsequent generations owe them, it is information that tells us where the world failed them, so that we may build one that fails fewer people.
Darline’s vision: Because her own parents worked so hard, couldn’t take sick days, and died untimely deaths, others shouldn’t expect better. This is an actual worldview. “Her plan is, work hard even when you’re sick until you die," her Dem opponent tells me. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2148...
it's honestly brutal living in a world where people who pushed NFTs were allowed to just move on from that. they didn't even get less smug!!
If your article is paywalled, you cannot get mad about people responding to the headline and free portion, and not the body of the text. This obvious rage bait from someone whose position cannot actually be maintained. Video games are toys. Some toys are different to others.

A huge aspect of this is, you do not need to tell people about your AI use. People don't need to know, in replies or main. It's the equivalent of coming into a room and hearing women complaining about men, and then whining because they didn't want you to explain some "not all men" shit to them.
"A bunch of people would rather post on Race War Now Dot Swastika rather than Bluesky because you keep making fun of their imaginary computer friend" is a RESOUNDING endorsement for the concept of hostility.
Okay at this point, what evidence is there to suggest that Jeffries not a Republican plant?
Hakeem Jeffries tweeted a defense of Randy Fine from the antisemitic campaign by the latter’s opponent, Daniel Bilzerian. 48 minutes before Jeffries’ tweet, Fine posted, “Jihadi Mamdani does not belong as Mayor of NYC. He needs to be denaturalized and sent back home to Uganda.”
As someone who is really into some freak media, the idea that people only engage with stuff they agree with- morally, ethically, etc- fills me with horror.
I think about this at least a dozen times a day.
Recently learned about this scene from a British Anti-Bullying PSA. Idk why my British moots were hiding this from me bc this is peak reaction gif material.
Ur Willy is Rubbish
Alt: Animated school boy is running fast down the street. He pulls out his phone and he receives a text from his bully that says "ur willy is rubbish". The boy looks up and sees the spirit of his bully grimace behind him as he continues to run.

She ran a CrossFit gym, which is basically a swinger's club that produces orthopedic injuries
Okay folks, keep leftists winning and we'll keep getting concessions like this this is the behaviour of a party that is broke, scared, and finally noticing that it is unwanted keep up the pressure
BREAKING: the Democratic National Committee just unanimously approved a resolution calling for the abolition of ICE! After terrorizing our friends, families, and neighbors, ICE has no place in our nation. I'm grateful @democrats.org agreed. Now we're onto the hard work to make that happen!
"what if the human desire for self determination was actually kind of like a horny teenage boy having a stupid tantrum" "what if the thoughts in your head were monsters, would you fight them or would they fight each other" "have you considered how short a human life truly is"
What people think anime is about: lewdness and action and robots What anime is actually about: what if we made a show about the heliocentric theory and how knowledge was persecuted historically
A lot of folks think that games are solid food and that content in one part doesn't affect the rest of it, but they're not. They're stews; every ingredient soaks its flavour into every other part. And AI is a wet turd.
Saber finally added the AI disclosure to Steam for Rideshare “Stimulator” and it’s even worse than I said it was. I can see why the CEO crashed out when I pointed it out.
One of the best moments in Discworld is the description of Bluejohn, a gigantic troll who has become extremely, consciously gentle and non-combative after a life of "if I move wrong someone gets badly hurt." Big guys have bodies that hurt people if they're not careful.
Really rich people aren’t walking around going “I’m rich! I’m rich!” and big ass dudes don’t have to walk around going “I’m big, and strong!” because everyone can see that. People who are insecure get off on power trips, and need to constantly remind themselves and others they’re bad ass.
Games programming is about ten times harder than programming for any other product, audience or service
What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?
Every day I'm more vindicated than the last. They were sending me death threats for this.
A lot of people are saying they expect Chris Bishop to emerge from this meeting as head of the party, but that's impossible as he can only attack diagonally
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, each Shine Sprite can be collected twice because the icon of it appearing is not merely visual, but literally another Shine Sprite. This provides a cautionary tale to developers about never implementing a visual effect as a copy of the object itself.

—and that's why the AI bubble is imminently about to burst. But you know what isn't going to burst? Our sponsor, GriftAI. They're different for some reason.
Given all of the recent genAI discussion, I wish to repost this.
This is someone truly believe deserves to be a business owner. Big fuckin cigar-chomping energy, spend money to make money, you know what he's like. An impossible dreamer.
Honest to God, don't think I've been inspired by a YouTube video like this in my life. What a weird savant.
One of most heartbreaking things about Hank Green turning to LLMs is that he gets to do science communication full-time to a massive audience and is well-resourced. He doesn't need to cut corners or outsource his thinking. Meanwhile, there are so many people doing amazing work with zero resources.
