I built Roko's Basilisk and reprogrammed it to only torture people who would make another. Problem solved. You can all relax now.

Here's my submission! My first time drawing in digital instead of traditional, all done on my phone! This was super fun! Still can't get over how feral and stabby the possum rogue is! On the trail of adventure!

A raccoon on two legs, with a cloak and a sword, a fox in a hat holding a lantern, and an possum with two daggers and a fierce look on its face!

Gutting title IX is a huge win for conservatives, because it lets them actively harm trans women they've never met while also making it easier for their sons to get away with raping any woman while in college.

Every day, this administration continues to target LGBTQIA+ kids. It’s incredibly harmful and does the exact opposite of what our shared goal should be: protecting kids. The LGBTQIA+ community and all our students deserve better.

I am hiring an authenticity reader for The Egg Prime Directive: specifically for the sections set in Japan in the early 2000s. I'm looking for someone with lived experience of Japanese language/culture & specific domain knowledge about anime/manga, Japanese LGBTQ+ experiences, & Japanese folklore.

Desperately wish that Steam would introduce a toggle to hide games that tag themselves with AI content already It’s been a part of my routine for 5+ years to check out the upcoming games section to look for indies to check out, but the amount of low effort slop being listed makes it unusable now

I often play games without sound (e.g., on a train), but in playing Final Fantasy IV (or FFII as it was for me in the US) for the first time again since it released, I remain amused that my brain fills in all the music automatically. I was obsessed with the music in FFIV and FFVI...

Sure would be nice if Visual Studio's asstastic C++ debugger would let us step through compound (x && y && z) statements one of these decades. (Or single-line "if (x) y"; evil, morally wrong and despicable as it is.) It's sad how often you have to rearrange code just for the stupid debugger.

Video Games are for everyone. PERIOD. No matter what the color of your skin, gender, etc. Don't give any attention to the nobodys & grifters that say otherwise. They're not worth the time of day & just ignore their toxicity and bullshit. As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters. 😎🎮👍🏾

Love it when games have a dialog log (?) that lets you reread what has been said! ✅ I can catch up with the plot if I was distracted or zoned out during a cutscene ✅ I can revisit, appreciate and savour some really well-written scripts ... without reloading a save! More games should have that.

Interesting that a lot of the supposed value of using LLMs to summarise papers arises from the mistaken assumption that you need to read papers to extract some facts. At the same time, when I go to the internet because I *do* need a fact, it's all pages upon pages of LLM drivel.

My point here is that there are certain things on which you CANNOT compromise. If you compromise on personhood—just a little bit, just to win the primary—you open the door to dehumanization and genocide. As They Might Be Giants once sang, "can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding."

Clever trick: If a youtuber cites a book, go get the PDF of that book and look at the paragraphs around it. Very often youtubers like to use quotes to decorate their points, rather than actually substantiate them. If what they say is not resonant with those paragraphs, they're decorating.

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now. NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.
