I make stuff sometimes and post rarely. Oh yeah, I used to stream on YouTube under the same name but I'm looking at moving things to Streamplace and here since that's an option now. Proudly unhindered by AI service outages.

Thank you for coming forward. We need more voices from inside the uniform standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us to reject this extremism, protect our democratic norms, and demand accountability.

The GenAI epidemic spreading across retro gaming circles exposes something: Making the scenes unfriendly to queer/trans/furries by giving a pass to unpleasant people and bigots in the past has left them without the networks of creators LGBT-friendly communities have access to and self-support with.

Noticing an uptick in AI output so I'd like to note that I'll be blocking accounts posting Appalling Imitation/Automated Infringement/[your preference of descriptor with the same abbreviation]. Open MSPaint or draw in the sand or whatever, just don't try to substitute a learned skill with ChatGPT.

It is the start of Banned Books Week and as such it's an EXCELLLLENT moment to donate to @authorsabb.bsky.social. We are laser focused on tbe single issue of fighting book bans. It's hard work, and we've done it with all volunteers for about 3 years-- and now we finally have a program manager.

A.I. companies are not trying to figure out how to protect you from their technology. They are trying to figure out how to monetize it without liability. Since we won't pay for it directly, they'll convince companies that to compete, they HAVE to have it. Enjoy your newly priced streaming services.

Great news! Seattle is leading the way and is now the first city to ban surveillance pricing, which has let large grocery retailers track our personal data to set individualized prices.

The amount of AI gen cat and dog videos is disturbing. Clearly done as click bait and often very subtle, but the fact that we even need to create fake pet videos is a failure of our morality.

“Video Games are for children” A sentence one can only make if the last game they played was when they were a child. It bothers me when people flat out dismiss an entire artistic medium.

sometimes i wonder "am i mad about the AI or the fact that I can't post footage of this game" and I think it's a level deeper - in most cases no one else is gonna make this thing I want now that a vibe coded version exists, effectively taking it off the table entirely

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.

Fusion360 just updated and they added an AI assistant and seeing the box almost made me throw up the moment it appeared on my screen after I right clicked. Thank god it doesn't open on startup but I'm open to suggestions that don't cost large sums of money to use without making everything public.

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two MORE unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

That Cap speech going around again doesn't really sit well with me because you can swap Cap with Hatemonger and it'd still fit. It doesn't state a anything beyond "stick to your opinion, no matter the opposition". I much prefer Beta Ray Bill's "let us make good" speech.
Panel of Beta Ray Bill, the alien god of thunder from Marvel Comics, saying "if there is nothing but what we make in this world, brothers... let us make good."
