This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

never liked the framing that the tech guys are doing some kind of "revenge of the nerds" scenario. these guys aren't nerds. they don't act like they have a nerd's background. they seem to be chuds, who build their idea of masculinity around intelligence rather than strength, and posess neither

Digital illustration done in a rough ink style and shades of red. It’s Tim Curry as the big devil man from Legend. He’s all red wearing raggy black garment that still shows off all of his chest. He has a pair of absolutely massive bull-like horns on his head which is thrown back laughing and fists on hips, simply delighted as he contemplates the red lettering next to him which reads ‘Maine it will happen today’.

The song, I mean. Not that you might feel that the world has moved on without you. Which I hope you don't feel that way. Although to be honest in some ways I wish the world would move on without me and I could just not be stressed about dumb stuff

In San Francisco again after 10+ years and I'm immediately reminded how much I love and miss this city. Not the grifter techbro/AI bullshit but the deeply human connection through the city's architecture, parks, culture, and history. Truly have experienced nothing quite like it in my lifetime

Please read this long but important thread from an immigration defense attorney. If this administration is permitted to scale its current abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of immigrants to the breadth and scope for which they’re currently planning, we’ll all be witness to mass atrocities.

OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful.
Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed.
When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O.
Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."
Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How?The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk")
1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus
4.5
2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders
3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK"
4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes)
The damage:
- Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats
- 25 × $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone
- Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total
The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking
"is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."

“There was a line of children waiting to get treated by medics.” ICE did this. Trump did this. Republicans did this. “Centrist” Democrats who have caved on anti-immigrant bullshit for years did this. Abolish ICE. That’s the minimum.

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.
Diagram titled 'Possible causes of your problems'. On the left hand side, subtitled 'Yes': Funding removed from local councils, growing gap between rich and poor, multinational companies not paying their taxes, lack of new affordable housing, government not investing sufficiently in schools and healthcare. On the right hand side, subtitled 'No': Picture of small boat, with arrow; 'People fleeing horrific situations that you and I can't imagine'.

Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.

Trump launching us into war with Iran is a flagrant abuse of power + an impeachable offense. The Framers were clear with the War Powers Clause in the Constitution: only Congress could take the nation into war. He must be impeached and removed from office. @fsfp.bsky.social www.impeachtrumpagain.org

“Training” is the wrong word for what LLMs are doing with all those stolen books and artworks. They’re copying, storing, and selling. We should not play along with the use of “training” which deliberately obscures what’s happening.
