Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

I don't think companies realize this yet but going "complete AI game development" isn't giving "the future" it's giving "we're broke." Like y'all just don't want to pay wages.

Fascism has never actually made trains run on time. There's no need to be ironic about the supposed trivial upside of fascism; there is in fact no upside at all. It was and is a horribly inefficient system as well as a cruel and evil one.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

“It was a long time ago” “it was a one time thing” “it’s clear he feels remorse” “it’s not worth ruining his whole life over something like this” “what if what he did wasn’t even that bad” “people deserve second chances” these are the same defenses every victim hears about their abuser. every time

This is why I've always disagreed with the idea that "art" is purely subjectively defined. Art is a communication. The listener/viewer completes that communication in recieving it, but it is the intentionality of the creator that makes it art. "AI music" is no more music than traffic noise is.

In the second panel of the meme, one superhero says to the other: "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power."

In a lot of these spreadsheet-job scenarios is AI providing a sort of (inefficient, unreliable, ethically unacceptable) swiss army knife that papers over poor tooling and generally shitty labor conditions. If a task is empty drudgery why isn't it amenable to normal automation?

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

Once you understand the corporate culture of AI hyperscalers is everyone cooking their brains by locking themselves in the bathroom, holding flashlights under their chins, and saying "Aaaaaaaaaay Eyeeeeeee" until they wet themselves in terror, things snap into focus: pluralistic.net/2023/06/04/a...
A cutaway view of a stone tower containing an elaborate water-powered medieval geared machine. Rising out of the machine is a rainbow-tinted, pixelated God with the robes, beard and all. To one side of this scene is a cluster of tiny people in Jesus-era robes, falling about themselves in religious ecstasy all over a stone staircase, atop of which stands a robed priest with his hands upraised. The background is a set of shining golden rays, emanating from pixel-God.

Because New Yorkers deserve to know that their kids will receive a high-quality education. They deserve to know that their children’s data won’t be mined by Big Tech. And they deserve to know that their children’s growth won’t be compromised for a corporation’s bottom line.
Beyond AI, the policy also introduces specific screen-time restrictions and recommendations for each grade level.  Learn more at nyc.gov/news

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.
