Really need tech reporters to stop being credulous to the “Our biggest weakness? Maybe our AI is TOO powerful.” It’s already fucking the economy and environment and being used to murder people in Palestine, but the ol “don’t look at the man behind the curtain” routine works on Tech journalists

For those you don't know how this works, when a video gets copyright claimed, 100% of its revenue starts going to the claimant. The only way for a claim to be automatically removed is to trim out the claimed clip, obviously bad if the clip has original narration over it. Songs have to be muted. -R

Yeah, fraudulent copyright claims are such second nature to us Youtubers that it's easy to forget that the average viewer only knows that UMG is a blight upon the universe. And quartz, of course

Siskel and Ebert used to just play three minutes uninterrupted of a movie and then talk about it. Now you and money you make goes to Universal or whatever because you used four seconds and a sound effect from Obsession in a video essay about them.

Sometimes I'll do a quiz just 'cause it's trending, but it really didn't know what to do with a Canadian XD I grew up in Saskatchewan (north of Montana), but apparently I don't sound like a Montanan? The Hollywood influence makes sense, but Maine a little less so

My most similar cities are Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Portland (Maine). My most different cities are New Orleans, Dallas, and Houston.

People on Bluesky are mad about potentially being scammed out of five dollars by slaves while trying to help people again. A lot of malignancy towards not only those who ask but also for those who give. Assumptions that we don’t give in real life. You can just Not Participate and be done with it.

Anyone else notice an alarming uptick in the amount of security guards in public spaces lately I'm talking malls, grocery stores, skytrain stations, out on the street. I've never seen them protect anyone, but I've seen them harass a lot of homeless people for 'loitering'

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

When I look at the coverage of AI vs. solar power, I remember this great bit from the webcomic Strong Female Protagonist about lightbulbs vs. batteries. It was a metaphor for types of people, but it's also quite literally true of tech

Illustration of a human pyramid, with regular people on the bottom and a few wealthy businessmen & socialites on top. There are text bubbles which read: "I grew up surrounded by battery people. People of unimaginable power, who spent their whole lives giving that power to those who used it to outshine them... We treat the things that soak up energy & resources like they're valuable, and the things that generate them like they're disposable. We don't celebrate batteries. And I think that's wrong."

Incredible chart from @propublica.org. If you don’t follow enviro stuff closely, your instinct might be that the hold-your-nose solution (carbon capture from fossil fuels) would be the “pragmatic” one versus covering Earth in solar panels, which seems utopian. In fact it’s the opposite

Doing anything less than what you promised to help a vulnerable minority is worthy of criticism, but I must admit it's reassuring to finally see some material support for trans youth from Zohran. He's lost the trans community's trust, but not necessarily their support
