One more reason I hate AI is that scrapers are slowing down websites to the point where some don't even load. These are small, expert-created websites that don't have a budget to handle all this. It's like a parasitic infection.

we have commodified everything. games, movies, everything. its all formulas and tests and feedback. with its history and art design, marathon should have been a singleplayer shooter, or at least shipped with a singleplayer campaign. but those numbers wouldn't stack up the way executives want.

Yeah they aren’t antiwar, they’re anti wars that imperil the Christian Ethnonationalist hegemony they crave. (With a bunch of antisemitic ideas about Israel mixed in.) Doesn’t mean they aren’t right in this case. But we should be clear where they’re coming from and what their end goals are.

Everyone is throwing out examples of Iraq War-era mass derangement so I might as well throw in Amanda Bynes doing a peace sign on a movie poster being photoshopped out for fear of being seen as an antiwar statement

We've been kind of slammed @404media.co recently, but thought we would take a minute to reflect on the impact of some of our bigger stories recently. We believe that reporting from a small team can make tangible change and that you don't have to be part of a big organization to do investigative work

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I'd also remind everyone that you can't always tell the difference from posts alone between a shut-in slacktivist and someone who is actually doing stuff and not really talking about it

There are no longer ‘military targets’ in Palestine every Palestinian is a target. We are killed simply for existing, for opening our eyes in the morning, for daring to dream, to love, to play. No one is spared from the killing machine: the athlete, the child, the doctor, the student.

These people aren’t afraid Mamdani would be a bad mayor. We have a ridiculous, corrupt, incompetent mayor right now and the city is hanging in OK. They’re declaring all-out war because they’re afraid Mamdani (or Lander) might be a good mayor.

That MIT study should be the death knell of every "pivot to AI" strategy in education. That MIT study should land immediately on the desk of every administrator that imposed AI upon their institution. Yes, I am talking about my employer, the California State University system.

Just know that once this happens (shiddd it’s probably already happening) companies will be able to have influence on what information you receive from ChatGPT, there’s already no regulation on what it feeds you, you could be getting nothing but propaganda and advertisements in every response

By the 1900s, the movie industry had a problem: supply could not meet demand. DAVY JONES' LOCKER (1900) is a Biograph release that printed footage of a skeleton marionette over an actuality shot of a shipwreck, creating a surreal scene, and stretching existing material into new entertainment.

"Those conversations are unfolding largely outside of the professional advocacy world" — Great, so we're all on the same page that "trans activists" means random people on social media.

Just a reminder that generative AI is theft of labor and intellectual property, uses vast amounts of energy/ water, provides at best mediocre results (if not outright lies or misinformation), actually affects your ability to think over time (mind duh), and is in general a really fucking bad idea.

Will share this here now: due to some budget struggles at ISD, my position there is getting phased out. I’ll be on the hunt for full time work again come July. Not sure what the future will hold for me in the short-term, but please keep me in mind if you see decent openings and/or freelance work.

Vienna has created public spaces all over the nicest parts of the city, investing in free infrastructure. In the U.S., these places would be privatized or commercialized. Such a visible difference in approach to community and equality.

I wish people would listen to people who write & teach writing for a living. We know that there is something extremely important contained within the process of writing. Writing, editing, revising, getting feedback, sitting with your thoughts, changing your thoughts. Writing IS thinking.
