Fun fact: They probably already are legally liable. The laws just aren't being enforced. Western countries have basically stopped prosecuting "elites" for illegal activities. It's wild. If I hacked a government server, in Canada, I'd be going to jail, basically for the rest of my natural life.

Tens of thousands of incidents. No, AI is no conscious, but yes, AI is a genuine threat to the internet at this stage. It is ruining the public internet and the utilities it depends on, leaving damage that will take billions to fix. This technology should be shut down.

A huge thank you to @spectralidax.bsky.social for doing a new logo for in-video usage. :) For things that aren't immediately Battletech related in video, you can start to expect to see this Roc Hexigon, or a Roc torso with weaponry. It looks great, I'm really happy how it turned out. #Battletech

I really wish governments in Canada would realize calling elections early always goes poorly in the modern era. Even when governments are popular, the public will almost immediately, always turn on whoever called an 'unnecessary' election. :\ And now BC is heading towards something very dark.

When I was a kid, we used to get these animations, often tied to Canadian folk music, on the TV. There are a bunch and they were always really great. If you wanna see a bit of #Canadian culture from many decades ago, it's worth the look. This one was my favourite. youtu.be/qjLBXb1kgMo #Canada

Just finished writing a major segment of the #Wraith video, one longer than I ever thought it'd be. Why? Because it becomes a story about why it's a TERRIBLE idea to screw around with the remnants of House Cameron. The Word of Blake got to find that out. lol #Battletech

Literally encouraging the destruction of the world for EcOnOmIc GrOwTh. No one in their right mind would gamble the fate of billions, as in all the rich and poor, at over 10-20%in order to just have better growth. This is the definition of Kakistocracy. This is pathetic beyond words.

lmao dude what, apparently a guy selling AI shit at a convention in Australia got so mad that people were criticizing him for it he started biting them. I've heard of AI brainrotting but these people are literally zombifying www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Japanese Battletech's Shadowhawk is criminally good lookg. Why? Because the SHD series if mega-mediocre, with some of its later models even not being good. But I'd be LYING to you if I didn't say that its art isn't some of the best out there from this iteration of #Battletech.

It's been so very, very long since I made anything for my own ideas, even if its not something I could reasonably release. But man. What a fun time off it was putting together maps and names for an old fantasy world I made 6ish years ago. The only thing I lament is my complete lack of budget. lol

TBT to a few months ago when I got annoyed trying to find a definitive answer on what Clan Smoke Jaguar Beta Galaxy's camo actually looks like so I just made up my own based on the text description.

An Ebon Jaguar mech painted in smokey grey camo with a red cockpkt and yellow cat eyes painted on the torso.

A Summoner with a lil' water feature on its base.

A painted miniature of a Wolverine 'Mech. The torso is red and the limbs are black and red, and the cockpit glass is green. The triangular emblem on the Kell Hounds is on the left torso. The number 30 in white is on the left shoulder. The miniature is photographed on rocky terrain.

Looks like some of the BT comic pages I've been working on got shown in today's Tuesday News stream. A bit out of order, the middle one is the opening page. Yes, that's a reference to Crescent Hawks Inception. ( But, with clan stuff. ) bsky.app/profile/cata... #battletech

I'm so glad this approach has worked so successfully wherever tried. With this kind of attitude, who needs a congress anyway? You gotta give credit to the commitment to a position so irrational, and dangerous. And everyone will forget he said this when it tragically blows up in everyone's face.

I just want to stress. This is beyond negligence. This is the abandonment of responsibility and duty on a scale that I could have never imagined. This looks worse than the late USSR before their nuclear meltdown. Insane takes from across the party, administration and its allies. Insane AND stupid.

I wasn't really happy with the way my Conjurer battletech piece was going (felt stiff and not very interesting in the composition) so I set it aside and played with some mech designs. So I painted this and now I think I am ready to get back to Conjurer. #artup #mecha #battletech #art #digitalart

With AGI overwhelming the news again, I repeat: There is no path to intelligence via LLM. But an LLM botnet choking the internet, or someone using a local model to attack aging infrastructure, are both real risks and too late to prevent. Pay no attention to the bogeymen, the harm is here today.

Dear Speak Johnson We know Congress is ignorant. About the only thing we can count on. This is WHY you hold HEARINGS, draft laws and pass them. Doing exactly THAT is the job for which you are elected. Do. Your. Job.

Comparing the #Diablo V Trailer, to the #Starcraft Trailer announcements. Devastating. Starcraft has x2 as many views (1.2 million), and X5 times as many likes. And the like to dislike ratio? Good god. 53k Likes and 2.5k dislikes for Starcraft. 12k likes and 3.6k dislikes for Diablo. Fatality.

My excitement level is definitely down the more I think about it, and after watching the interview by the team running it. I'm also genuinely annoyed we never got the Baal expansion that Diablo IV really needed. The decision to jump to 5 seems increasingly baffling to me. #DiabloV

BIG_RED_40TECH @bigred40tech.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

youtu.be/GxCN_AKYtts Diablo V just got announced. It's a bit weird because it really feels like Diablo IV still needed to deal with Baal. So, no Age of Destruction, we're skipping straight over to the Age of Terror. I'm excited. Just feels like they are skipping over something.

More testing with the brighter white-gray and richer blue on the Banshee, focusing on the chest/head. I really should have picked a smaller model to test this on. #Battletech

The people *making* AI have the desire for it to replace everyone's jobs and to make people functionally slaves to the tech-billionaires, who want to trascend being human. That is literally the "good" out come of the technology these people want. They are willing to risk killing everyone to do it.
