"this wouldn't have existed without AI anyway, it's not taking away any potential jobs or opportunities" if you do not have the willingness or drive to make something without AI, then it shouldn't exist AI is built off of stolen labor. Want art? Do or fund the labor.

I believe in restorative justice. I want that for Jacob and perhaps he was on that path (though fuck his uni for giving him the meagerest of punishments, but that’s the system working as intended). But he is owed nothing & he owes his/other victims ALL his consideration, which he did not give.

Exactly. I am tired of seeing the “I always knew”/“their work was actually bad” takes whenever allegations emerge. Sometimes—often, actually!—bad people find their way into good spaces and make good things. And you’re not better than the folks who were taken advantage of for “always knowing”

"AI" - chatbots that wake up, "set their own goals," and "spontaneously" start hacking servers - is fake. It doesn't have "a 10% chance of ending the human race." The Hugging Face hack isn't a mysterious, supernatural occurrence.

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

I drew a comic strip.

a comic strip. The first panel shows a goblin in a long coat approaching a guard. The second panel has the goblin saying "we're just normal men!". The third panel has the guard replying "what do you mean normal men?". The fourth panel shows both the goblin in the coat and the guard. The coat is beginning to open to show many goblins within. The guard looks suspicious and a goblin emerging from the coat is saying "We're just innocent men!"

Notice how there's no one moralizing about how you shouldn't say mean things about someone when they die out of respect right now? That's because as long as you're not a shitty person who intentionally hurts others without care or remorse, people don't do that.

Vampire Survivors has a 30 minute cutoff time where Death just comes in and just clobbers you. And if you spend your full 30 minutes of life grinding and making the right choices you can kill that Grim Reaper just to have the privilege of another instantly spawning and clobbering you instead.

As an adaptation of Homer’s epic, the Honda Odyssey is a complete disaster. With its roomy cabin and rear entertainment system for the kids, the minivan foregrounds concerns that only arose with the American nuclear family and say nothing about the brutality that underlay the Bronze Age.

But the thing is, you don't convince people to try something new by telling them the thing they already love is bad. Tell them why the thing you like is good. Excitement about what we love is joyful, and having fun shows people that a thing is fun.

We'll keep on pointing at this comic by @skutchdraws.bsky.social and @hbomberguy.bsky.social until it's embarrassing for tech bros to call you a luddite for hating AI! More of Failure to Launch in the link bsky.app/profile/iron...

"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" A simpleton looking peasant yells as they smash the wooden machine.

The standard narrative goes that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. (But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed.)

Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight.

And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.

Barista made reference to “it’s like when you hop in a mosh pit” and I said, “It shouldn’t shock you from looking at me to hear that I’ve never been in a mosh pit.” He paused for a sec, looked me over, and said, “Well it’s the same at Ska shows” and that’s the most devastating read I’ve ever had.

i am not 100% sure whether @wesaketchak.bsky.social is the original maker of this mash-up but i am 100% sure that it is brilliant and was crafted for my enjoyment particularly

A multi-panel using the style and characters from Calvin & Hobbes, but with dialogue and art referencing the book "House of Leaves."

In the first panel, Susie Derkins approaches Calvin and asks "Hey Calvin, you want to play "House"?" but the word "house" is in blue text.

Second panel: Calvin respond "I don't know. How do you play?"

Third panel: From our POV we see a doorway, through a doorway, through which another doorway is visible, through which is visible another doorway... between rooms, Susie can be seen moving laterally.

Panel four: Susie is walking through a massive hallway. Other doors, turns are visible. She seems so small, as though the ceiling is several dozen feet above her, as though she has been reduced to a child's toy in a house.

Panel five: Calvin is in the dark, in his pajamas now, holding a flashlight which seems to have found a large hole in the floor.

Panel six: Calvin is running downstairs in the dark, a vague shadow in pursuit of him, as he yells "HELP HELP! IT'S AFTER ME!"

Panel seven: Bird's-eye view of a typical-looking house.

Today is Red Dress day, a time for us to reflect on the fact that: -3 in 4 Indigenous women experience violence in their life, and that although we make up 2% of the population -40% of trafficking victims are Indigenous women. -murder is the 3rd leading cause of death for Native ♀️ #MMIW #MMIWG

A woman wearing a red shirt under a red attiqluq with white flowers holds a hand under earrings that look like red dresses. In some Indigenous tribes, red is a color that our ancestors can see. It's also a nod to the "what was she wearing" questions when a woman is sexually assaulted
