As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.

They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.

Only you have the power to kill it.
Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

The broadcast angle might actually underplay it. It was insane to see live. #AEW

I didn’t know Reg Bloor was running a Kickstarter campaign to fund an important Glenn Branca archival recording with Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo in the band until Robert Fripp (!!) shared the news on Facebook. Get yourself a piece of the action here. www.kickstarter.com/projects/reg...
Release of Glenn Branca's Symphony No. 4 (Physics)
Much anticipated release of a long lost recording.

I handed out neighbor-printed whistles in Flatbush tonight and it was lovely. New Yorkers in motion do not EVER stop to chat but for this, they did.

One church lady in a fancy hat gleefully took a whistle and told me she’d “blow they icy asses outta her town,” then apologized skyward for swearing.
With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

It super sucks that Google has bundled the features that have made Gmail useful for decades into the same on/off switch as the one that controls whether Gemini is turned on. I want to continue having the categorization and the calendar integration. I do not want any LLM-based features.

I donated today to this by coincidence, but if you want to get in the spirit on purpose, a friend’s partner is having top surgery and they need to cover some meals during recovery.

I’ve been thinking about taking an entire year away from video games (with a carve out exception for a surprise release of single player From Soft game if one drops in 2026) and the incredibly corny dialogue in Metroid Prime 4 feels like the universe encouraging me to go for it.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League and writer of this OP-Ed, has spent decades justifying and obfuscating sexual abuses in the church and he is a lifelong crusader against homosexuality. He's lower than dirt and his debasement is thoroughly documented.
Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.

If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.
