Wild how when Bud Light or whatever goes "woke" every piece of shit conservative chud can boycott and complain and riot and that's free speech but when you protest at a Tesla dealership it's domestic terrorism.

When people on the academic fields and the activism side, say that you have to act to stop these people they’re not saying performative Neoliberal bullshit. Let’s be very clear. Historically the only way you get rid of the fascists and Nazi bedbugs is by razing the house and everything near by.

So far the gaming community is really the first to comprehensively debunk the central musk myth that "what's incredibly difficult and time-consuming for normal people is trivially easy for me" and I assume that's partly because the consequences for that imploding elsewhere are too high

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

Me seeing people in their 30s achieving artistic goals they never dreamed possible and slowly internalizing the idea that your 30s are not late in life and that I don’t need to be perfect in my 20s nor fear aging or fear I won’t have time to create what I love

companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years

This is what I mean when I say to just make that thing you want to make, even if it’s garbage, especially today in the world of AI-generated dreck. One person’s absolute dogshit passion project will be 1000000% more powerful than a million auto-generated books thrown onto Amazon.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

This article lays it out plainly. There's nothing to repeal. Costco doesn't have a DEI program. It doesn't have a diversity policy. It simply doesn't use discriminatory hiring practices. These AGs are in hysterics bcuz Costco refuses to segregate its business.

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

It's been a solid 2.5 years now that text and image generators have been a problem and despite near constant claims of 'unlocked potential and democratized creative expression', there hasn't been one hit novel, undeniable piece of art, an example of work that people establish a fandom over.
