Hey folks, I’m on the hunt for a concept art gig! I’ve got over 10 years of experience and have worked on Marathon, Halo, Watchdogs, and more. I love working with teams of all sizes and collaborating with good folks! artstation.com/belgianboolean

Newsletter: OpenAI is a systemic risk to the tech industry, requiring more money than exists every year, threatening the financial health of SoftBank, Oracle and NVIDIA, their future dependent on impossible debt and unproven startups to build their data centers. www.wheresyoured.at/openai-is-a-...

It's a straightforward relationship: high #inequality leads to the triumph of the far right. It will keep winning until governments deliberately seek to make societies more equal. I'm looking at you, Keir Starmer. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

tbh, the AI industry is full of fraud, and fraudsters like this techcrunch.com/2025/04/10/f...

Trump Boys Hook Dollar Bill Up To Potato To Make Cryptocurrency theonion.com/trump-b...

Not content with addressing the German far right AfD party, Musk today addressed the Italian far right Lega party, led by the pro-Putin, anti-gay, anti-Islam Matteo Salvini. Musk’s politics are pretty clear - and pretty dangerous.

it's a rough job

Every time Israeli soldiers behead a Palestinian child and our ruling classes accept this fact, we lose our collective humanity and slowly but surely our society proceeds toward savagery.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Netanyahu is openly gearing up to commit a crime of unthinkable proportions - the forced ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, with the continued backing of the US. Every sane and civilized country must oppose this.

Pure evil. War crimes within war crimes, and with total impunity.

Exiled Russian journalist Mikhail Rubin said last week there was little resistance when press rights began to disappear in Russia. “We did not resist for the small things." Everyone was waiting for the worst to occur before resisting, but when it finally did they had already lost ability to resist

Israel has destroyed the ceasefire and massacred some 400 people in a single day, one of the bloodiest days of this genocide. The brutality and duplicity of the Israeli regime is just staggering.

What's striking about capitalist civilization is that it has no real direction. There's no vision for social progress, no commitment to improving human welfare or ecology. All we get is the chaos of profit-oriented production and accumulation as the world burns around us.

NEW UN REPORT: “The evidence reveals a deplorable increase in sexual and gender-based violence [since October 2023]... There is no escape from the conclusion that Israel has employed sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians to terrorise them." www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.

My heart breaks for Amaal, @amaalqamar.bsky.social, child and I'm afraid something might happen to him, God forbid. I hope he achieves his goal as soon as possible. Please send the campaign link to your friends 👇🏻 www.gofundme.com/f/help-child...

Shoot for the moon! Even if you miss, you might hit a SpaceX rocket

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

The United States has declared economic war on some of its closest allies and Silicon Valley is itching to use the power of the state to defend its interests at all costs. It’s time for an alliance not just to combat US belligerence, but to build a different vision for tech.

Elon Musk saying the Nazis were communist is clear proof that he is in fact *not* a genius. It is a breathtakingly ignorant claim. The Nazis were feverishly anti-communist, and massacred some one million socialists and communists for their political views.
