Es ist mal wieder Zeit daran zu erinnern, dass 2024 die aktuell noch amtierende Berliner CDU 3,4 Millionen Euro aus dem Topf zur Bekämpfung von Antisemitismus an Freunde und Verwandte abgezweigt hat - darunter eine Frau, die zuvor durch öffentliche antisemitische Statements bekannt geworden war.

What a great article 🙂 i think this really resonates with me and why I like making videogames and why it makes no sense to me to use GenAi to do it for me

New Post: Why I Love AI Next month it'll be twenty years since I went to university, learned to program, and studied AI. I wrote about why I loved it, why I still love it, and why, unfortunately, it no longer exists. www.possibilityspace.org/blog/posts/i...

Two posts back to back: 1. Even before Israel was globally understood to be a genocidal ultra-fascist ethno-supremacist country, it was enforcing that rain water is Israel's property, prohibit8ny Palestinians from building ways of collecting potable water. www.snopes.com/news/2023/11...

Palestinians Forbidden from Collecting Rainwater Because It's Deemed 'Israeli Property'?
Israeli authorities have heavily controlled water access in Palestinian territories for decades.

This is fucking terrifying
Separate research supports the concern. Anat Perry, a Helen Putnam Fellow at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute and associate professor of psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, co-authored a paper in Science examining how sycophantic AI responses erode users’ ability to calibrate their own judgment. The paper found that when AI systems consistently affirm a user’s position, the user’s capacity for independent evaluation degrades over time.

Joanna Stern, NBC’s chief technology analyst and author of “I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything,” has documented the creep of AI dependency in daily life. Her reporting has shown how users begin with low-stakes queries, such as what to cook for dinner or what to wear, and gradually escalate to consequential decisions about careers, finances, and relationships. The trajectory from convenience to reliance is difficult to reverse once established.

"People that don't worry about income make cool things they're excited about with no constraints" isn't news but the fact that anyone at all can say it in the year of our economy 2026 kinda is news I suppose.

Like, the fundamental thing with "AI" - it all starts with a massive and ongoing act of theft (or infringement, if you like). It's a few billionaire, or trillionaire, owned tech companies stealing everything we ever did then selling it back as a worse version of the work we all do.

There aren't a lot of things I agree with Mark Carney about, but there's one area where he and I are in *total* accord: the old, US-dominated, "rules-based international order" was total bullshit: www.weforum.org/stories/2026... 1/

Palestinian freedom is a pre-requisite for our own, because if we can't protest and object and take action against almost 650 days of genocide and war crimes of this scale by Israel, we can't object to anything. If we can't save Palestine, we can't save ourselves when the fascists come for us.

Honestly, if you're older than 25 and doing art, you owe Fatma your voice - she was assassinated with her entire family for just wanting to be 26 and doing art, and all she did wrong was being born as a person that our culture allows to be assassinated in a genocidal apartheid regime.

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.
Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar.  She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK
Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards.
Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'.

Bei den erwirtschafteten Gewinnen gab es einen Zuwachs von 1% und bei den eigenen Vergütungen ein Plus von 10% - der Unterschied ist die Null! In die eigene Tasche geht es fix, bei Tarifverhandlungen jammern sie und sagen es gibt nix!

This is a downstream effect of Productivity Brain that I've only noticed with the rise of LLMs—people actually think the goal of language and math class is to "produce" essays and finished worksheets.

I think this is very cool, extremely important, and also I deeply wish the phrase "industry-wide" would not lead to a website that allows sign-ups only from exactly two extremely influential nations on a single continent. Regardless, great this exists - if you're a US/Canadian worker, check it out!

good riddance I like it better here anyway
Black text on a yellow background, which reads:

DRAWING A LINE

At Studio Fizbin we believe in striving for a diverse, respectful, caring, and loving world, while standing against racism, misogyny, queerphobia, antisemitism, and all forms of oppression. Our work has always been grounded in these values.

We watch with horror the rise of extreme right wing politics throughout much of the world. Many of the largest social media platforms are now eagerly bending the knee to the ascendant far-right, while intentionally proliferating misinformation and hate for their own benefit. As we continue to review our presence on all social networks, it’s nevertheless clear that one network vastly exceeds its peers in all these aspects: X.

As of today, the Studio Fizbin, Reignbreaker, & previous game accounts will no longer be active on X.

We do not want to continue providing engagement to a platform that actively pushes fascist content, nor can we stand by as its owner openly espouses racist ideology, attacks queer and trans people, and publicly gives the Nazi salute — a symbol for one of humanity's most horrific crimes, and which leaves no room for interpretation.

FASCISTS CANNOT BE TOLERATED.
NOT THEN, NOT NOW, NOT EVER.

We'll miss the connections & friends we've made on this platform over the years, but we are hopeful and optimistic we'll be able to reconnect with you on Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, & Threads.

Stay safe, and with love
Studio Fizbin
