My friend made a cool game on a game jam and within a month a slopclone of it is on Steam. This is happening every day for indie devs and I hate it.
Sos "Buy Lazy Kickers" Sosowski@sosowski.bsky.social · 2w agoAnother such case. Every day, an indie game developer making something cool and sharing is getting ripped off by these clowns. Original on the left. Don’t share your game - no sales Share your game - gets stolen
So much for putting up a fight. How did Sir Patrick Stewart as Vladimir Lenin put it again?
Karl Bode@karlbode.com · 2h agoConditions don't work to fix the problems caused by media consolidation, especially at the hands of authoritarian zealots. They rarely are meaningful or consistently enforced. this is why, as they say, we can't have nice things

Paramount and state AGs will settle lawsuit, allowing Warner Bros. merger to proceed, reports say
The antitrust lawsuit threatened to delay Paramount's acquisition until mid-2027 and to cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars in fees.

as per tradition it sounds like the conditions are flimsy garbage. Some sort of dubious CNN oversight board to help them pretend CNN isn't being destroyed like CBS. And some language ensuring they stick to their promise to release 30 major films per year. pathetic

The provost of Dartmouth, at which I teach, has been using AI to write both academic papers & national op-eds, according to brave reporting by @thedartmouth.bsky.social. Many students are already bitter about AI. This leaves us as faculty no ground to stand on. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...
Op-eds, academic articles by Provost Santiago Schnell flagged as ‘AI-written’ by ‘near-zero error’ AI detector Pangram
Schnell said he used artificial intelligence for “making writing processes more efficient,” but that AI was not a “substitute” for his own “intellectual judgment or authorship.”

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.” Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it. Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.
While working through getting sick, I made this! Here's my take on a TwinkleGirl.EXE, based off of the butterfly motif her classic counterpart has, ballet, magical girls, and the term "twinkle toes"! #MegaMan #MegaManDualOverride #MegaManBattleNetwork #CapcomCreators #SapphieDraws
If you’re moved by this guy crying boy oh boy are there some other images and videos you should check out
FAFO aside, his shock is a great distillation of how whiteness as a social construct is built around shattering communal understanding of our interconnected human ecosystem in favor of a mythical individualism How whiteness leaves its adherents defenseless against our shared oppressors: capitalists

Re: not reinventing the wheel, we’ve had tools in our collective imagination about exactly this situation. But they require making attachment to money icky and taxes way steeper than what they’ve ever been. But if we’re building a Star Trek computer www.econ.yale.edu/smith/econ11...

Stephen Nuñez@socio-steve.bsky.social · 5h agoThis is about regulating AI but the same applies to safety net and ALMPs in response to anticipated disruption from AI. Folks on the hill want "something for AI" but standard sectoral training and employment policy, guaranteed income, etc. are still the solutions because disruption is disruption.
With Luigi Mangione’s upcoming sentencing, this week’s main story is about not just UnitedHealthcare’s now infamous denials of coverage, but also how their parent company – UnitedHealth Group – touches almost every aspect of our healthcare system. Link to full segment in bio.
this feels like one of those things where they just call anything AI even if it's just some new software that shows more accurate weather data on the ATC computers or something. nothing ever happens

I hate the backsliding on the r slur. tell me you've never experienced violent ableism since you were a CHILD without actually telling me.
unironically this is a harbinger of our cultural victory

Would anyone interested in Animation commissions soon? Still need to get a ton sorted out first but I'm trying to get my family's debt payed off and save money for Christmas gifts this year. Depending on pricing I can also make Animations retroactively for recent Kofi donations.
Yep, absolutely true. Until I was in my mid to late thirties. Gender dysphoria too.

Canadian wonders why more Americans aren't standing up to the most militarized police forces on the planet when most of us have to scrape by just to survive. Sorry we can't dedicate more of our limited time to overturn a fascist government that's been in place longer than any of us have been alive.
Edge O. Erin@edgeoerin.com · yesterdayDecent Americans, please stand up! Your nation is on the fast track to fascism and utter collapse! What more do you need to see to FINALLY DO SOMETHING?!
"My cousins blocked me after I outed myself as a billionaire lapdog." Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't do it sooner, ya spineless numpty.
