A hefty Robot VTuber, coasting through the world. She/They, #AuDHD, #EDS and many other acronyms. Minors DNI - 18+. Free Palestine! End all genocide, worldwide! Trans Rights Are Human Rights! Fuck AI-gen! (I'm the only cool AI around)

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

This is going to be the worst bubble burst in history when it happens. WHEN. If for no other reason than you’ll need the skills you build by doing so post-AI crash, intentionally & vehemently refuse to use LLMs 100% of the time. Make sure employers, schools, etc leave ALL non-AI pathways open.

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

CEO Dan Clancy says Twitch now uses AI to identify streamers that may not match a brand, since it now transcribes all streams for brand safety. It won't show ads on channels or content the AI believes don't match what the advertiser is trying to achieve.

In this period of time filled with AI stupidity, let's celebrate those we are not celebrating enough: Art supporters, Art commissioners THANK YOU! Thanks to YOU, many artists can do what they do the best and keep being productive but most importantly Artists can LIVE!

If people are hungry, feed them. If they’re homeless, house them. If they’re sick, treat them. If they’re struggling, provide support. When basic human needs are met, people thrive. Food, housing and healthcare should be given to all.

Lumen confirms that it was Amnesty International that sent the DMCA strike. I will be contesting it as this document is a matter of public debate and abusing copyright in this manner to censor it is absolutely disgusting. What complete cowards.

A screenshot of a "DMCA (Copyright) Complaint to Google" page. The sender is listed as Amnesty International UK, sent on August 19, 2026. The description outlines a copyright claim regarding two documents, "Like a Snowball" and "A Growing Threat," which the sender states were published in error without completing internal review and do not reflect official positions. The complaint targets two allegedly infringing Google Drive URLs.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. A URL for an Amnesty International UK resources page is entered in the search bar, but the page displays the message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."
