I see channels who I used to respect slopping into AI generated content, be it on thumbnails or videos. The door is open for people to learn and put that behind them. This isn't meant to sound arrogant or gatekeepy. I understand being enthralled by new things. Learn, and put it behind you.
Finding out that the magic in the title of the charli xcx song “magic metal Montana“ referred to magic the gathering and not the general concept of magic truly rocked my world
Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: C.diff and Aetna "health insurance," nice to meet you?

It's striking how 2000s sci-fi like @cstross.bsky.social's Halting State and Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End anticipated the gamification of espionage. And we've seen ARGs and location-based games blur the lines between gameplay and spying. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised it works the other way, too.
Extremely relevant that Twitch is owned by Amazon, and nobody likes working for Amazon. You work for Amazon to get a paycheck while looking for something that won't kill you. This is a manager clearly communicating some variation of "My boss made me, please complain so maybe he'll stop".

ICYMI, the Dobby grave story was completely fake. Like, just, totally not true in any way.

everyone is sharing the opt-in video, and rightfully so, but I think this part is even worse "you are trapped in the belly of this horrible machine"

don't blame this on autism when it's the result of being raised in an age of Puritan online content moderation that has conditioned your developing brain to think that any exposed skin is inherently sexual it's giving "i have the autism that makes me hate women" you have to DEPROGRAM that nonsense
“Fantasy author” is a fake job created by Big Hat to sell big black hats.
The trouble with playing Scum & Villainy is that to describe the b.s. my unstable and reckless cyborg scoundrel got up to, would sound like a crazy confession to crimes. Suffice to say, our crew are smuggler/kidnappers/rescuers, and we're not THAT bad. And the authorities are worse people. Still...
