A 'tidal wave' of forever chemicals are being pumped out to satisfy the AI industry, according to The Guardian. Nearly all of the 10 biggest manufacturers of Pfas are planning to increase production for use in semi-conductors and data center cooling systems.

Fun fact: this is not a festival, not even a 3rd party one, this is a curator and they have tried to make the page look as much like a festival as possible They have to lie, they're always lying, if they don't lie nobody buys their shit If AI is so good, if it's the inevitable future, why lie?

He's right but where is the opposition from US labor leadership? There's been hardly more than the strongly worded letters the establishment dems like to post. No rallying cries or meaningful organized resistance for the past two years while my pension is directly funding more domestic surveillance

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way

Screenshot from the article in the quoted post, saying "Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people.

“The general pattern seems to be that with wealth and rising power, you become less engaged with the needs of others and less burdened by the needs of social relationships,” Piff said. “Taking candy from children might be the least of our worries but it’s emblematic of the tendency to prioritise one’s own needs over those of others.”

I am practising zero tolerance for this shit. If they use genAI for any part of development, then I don't know how I'm supposed to trust that they aren't using it elsewhere. They keep only being sorry when they get caught, they keep pleading for special exemptions. Just. Don't. Use. It.

Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.

THREAD. Contrary to what you are being told, 40 years of polling have established that shifting money away from police/prisons toward social services is one of the most popular public policies among *all* political demographics. But it's not just that, it goes way deeper.

AI companies are buying, scanning, and destroying older books to improve their models' training data & avoid problems of "model collapse" (wherein LLMs choke on their own slop). One of their suppliers is Better World Books, which partners with public libraries. www.404media.co/ai-companies...

The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.
