Emperor Palpatine was right: it's really fun sitting around in a robe, watching two dudes try to kill each other

the kids are alright... way to go justin! #cdnpoli #wildfires

Great article by Natasha Tiku on what happens when researchers actually try to train LLMs on non-copyrighted material. Unsurprisingly, the industry's position was "it's too hard/expensive/slow". Copyright laws exist for a reason, folks.

Now do autism.

Holy shit.

@lesterlee.bsky.social I remember you going in on FF Tactics back in the day.

This still cracks me up 🤣

I still don’t really want to go back to selling stuff if I can help it, but if people still want my art and I can harness its power to do some good, then I’m so game!!

Fantastic way of describing it.

I'm not worried about being replaced by AI, because I tell people what they don't want to hear.

Watching Baby Assassins for the first time. As an autistic person, Mahiro getting five minutes into a job interview, well-actuallying the interviewer, and ultimately going "I'm tired of this kind of conversation" is one of the most relatable pieces of media I've ever seen.

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

After reviewing reports about the chatbot that rates men “subhuman”, encourages dramatic surgeries, and repeats incel beliefs about how women are “unfair” and “hypergamous”, OpenAI has chosen to leave it available and prominently featured on their shared GPTs page.

when the AI bubble pops and corporations stop forcing AI down our throats i'll miss stuff like this

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

NEW: Every Sunday, newspapers are full of ads for tech jobs that aren't really looking for applicants. They reveal an aspect of U.S. immigration law that hurts both domestic and foreign workers — yet has endured for decades.

This is why "you're right, it isn't what you voted for, because your values aren't shared by the Republican Party" is a much more effective message to help build a better America than "yes you did vote for this, you bad person" which fails to take advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity

Tech people need to do 3 things. 1. admit they are working class 2. understand their autonomy 3. situate themselves within the planetary crisis It might be THAT easy to make ethical businesses.

Why is it that human workers who sabotage their employers' instructions get fired, but AIs that sabotage their employers' instructions get billions of dollars invested into them? How many years' worth of payroll are companies putting into this? www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
