digital media is dying not because it’s a bad way to cover the news or people don’t care about the news but because the people who now own these sites are increasingly 1) uninterested in covering the news as opposed to turning a profit 2) ignorant of what covering the news requires
2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

as someone who was a teenage girl on the internet, i think making AI-generated revenge porn of a minor should get you the electric chair actually

I, too, would pound Darby's head off of plexiglass if only because of that fucking "Hoodlum" jacket.

I mean, also the abuse shit. But the jacket is a particular point of annoyance.

I get the impression Spider-Man might not have gone down the way they thought it would.
i don't feel like magic set surveys usually have this question and i don't appreciate the implication that content creators, who do so so much for the game, are possibly to blame for a bad set's poor performance. 👎
"to what degree did negative influence commentary impact your perceptions of the spiderman set"
It is even more fucked up that they asked you the names of content creators you watch before this criminal bullshit
"Did those parasitic YouTubers poison the well of our beloved Spider-Man set before you got a chance to form your own opinion?? Let us know who we can blame - over any internal factors - during our next shareholder meeting!"

Woof. This is even more dismissive and insulting when you see her say it than when you read it.
The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

This might be my fault, I've kinda been usurping the "white boy talking about holes in Magic" space, and for that I am sorry
We need to steer magic community online into a fandom. What do you mean its been months and theres not a single fanfic on ao3 with alpharael and his hole. Hes a white boy talking about his hole any fandom would have taken that and ran

we’ve gone so far past “sex workers are the canaries in the coal mine” re: internet freedom, to an internet that’s run off and robbed from all the sex workers in order to replace them with planet-destroying simulations of sex workers
Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

head injuries, child abuse and lead poisoning brought us the serial killers of the 60s and 70s, and now it’s giving us the entire right-wing of the United States political system.

the more I read about the promises OpenAI has made, the more disgusted I am. They've promised to deploy 10GW of Broadcom chips *by the end of 2029*, a chip that has yet to tape out, in data centers yet to be planned or funded or the power acquired. We are in a black hole of ethics and good sense.

Free speech is when you are punished for criticizing the President’s favorite podcaster.
The Donald Trump administration has revoked the visas of citizens from Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, and Paraguay for comments about Charlie Kirk.

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.

Important to note that this isn’t a problem for the billionaire buying media properties. If they make them into successful rightwing propaganda? Cool more money. If it fails? Cool they’ve destroyed one of the few outlets with the resources to investigate them. Either way they achieved their goal
