if it's layoffs on ship no matter what, never pay that company for anything. why would you. your money will never reach anyone who worked on what you bought, or respected those people. you'll not be investing in anything in any sense software is on the honour system and these people have no honour

Halo Studios Hit by Layoffs After Campaign Evolved Launch insider-gaming.com/halo-studios...

Seeing how even people with healthy levels of skepticism and reasoning ability have started to use LLMs and quickly developed a dependency on them, surrendering more and more parts of their daily lives to the bots, is really all the reason I need to never touch that shit in my life for my own safety

Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

An on sight dergg!

As the 48 hour Druffle gate news cycle comes to an end (in the best way it could, good on them for that) I feel like it's worth highlighting something that most creators uncomfortably understand and just deal with. It is _impossible_ to prevent having your avatar shared after it is bought. 🧵

avatar ripping is an unwinnable battle and i wish more people realized this

I want to point out that the .exe you download is _not_ open source (github.com/Yeusepe/tran... is not accessible). Also, it contains code for installing itself as a windows service, and has the ability to auto-update itself.

Oh my god, it's even worse. Jinxxy needs to take the whole page down until they get rid of this deranged software github.com/Yeusepe/YUCP...

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

This is the end result of "there are no sfw kinks" logic. Everything is a kink for someone. It doesn't matter how tame or innocuous it is; someone, somewhere, gets off to it. Amd there is no level of "toning it down" that will ever be acceptable to people whose goal is for you to not exist at all.

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

#gryphonappreciationday you say? Dont mind if I do!

it all just sort of makes sense, now, huh. all this shit was just generated by AI and he believed it all enough to parrot it on his podcast, and his fact checking team had to clean up after him this is a really massive blow to popular science. Everything is in question now. does he realize this?

YouTuber Hank Green Admits He Has Unhealthy Relationship With AI After Facing Backlash Over Recent Video 'The level of dopamine I've been getting from interacting with LLMs is not healthy for me,' said Green

learning today the "5025 integrity check" errors i'm getting (and now swoosh is getting) is because twitch thinks we're bots cool. good. great. does joystick have a safer version of their service yet? i'm so fed up. PLEASE compete

the concept of using twitch streams to train AI is really funny. what are you going to gain from this. footage of video games accompanied by really loud donation sound effects and a tiny webcam. what is the model going to learn
