It's a lot of doom and gloom these couple of first days of the year, yet seeing the Arab League of Misfits prototype getting close to the finish line with draft music, voiceover and effects gave me so much hope. I'm so thankful for the people behind our project.

![I’d be remiss if I didn’t also point to Sweeney’s own history where deplatforming users is concerned. As Nathan Brown, writer of the HitPoints newsletter, put it: “[All of this] from a guy who deplatformed tens of millions of his own users so he could pressure Apple and Google to change what he considered an immoral policy.” But then, said policy happened to cost Sweeney money, obviously making it a far more urgent matter than something that stands to enable pedophiles while endangering, traumatizing, and embarrassing countless children, as well as numerous adults (mostly women). Meanwhile, thanks to the recent addition of microtransactions on Sweeney's platform, a user-generated game popular with millions of younger players now includes real-money gambling.
Sweeney, like every other tantrum-throwing tech baby irreparably brain-poisoned by a mixture of obscene wealth and an app where people are sometimes a little mean to them, needs to log off. He needed to do it yesterday – and also all the days before. But hey, the sun will rise again tomorrow. There is still hope, dim though it might be.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreiabol6hdhdncm2kin6xm4eo374h44dfwe77jkw2vcdcpn3fsriss4@jpeg)

All these so-called "tools" create an illusion of productivity, as they shift work toward factory labor practices, turning devs into assembly line workers so they can churn projects faster, and grab more shelf space for leadership. This "cooperation" you talk about is based on numerous stolen work.

That's so true, as I saw the family turmoil degenerate every time a relative died, and some of us - like me - become this emotional punching bag, stressed to a point that it's hitting physical pain.

My father in law, may he rest in peace was one hell of a messy person, but he had some wisdom. When people died, he used to say "may WE rest in peace" because to him, the death of another was going to bring stress and pain to the family and loved ones.

Like the only way I see it is this: small creators are the only ones that face financial isolation for content that major and massively rich tech companies monetize.

I have a weird tick now that has saved me lots of frustration. I don't think it's a real solution, just something I'd like to believe in. When I pick, if I'm not 100% sure I managed to follow the card with my eyes, then I default to picking the starting placement of the card I wanted. So far 60% win

And on the other hand, payment processors such as Visa pressured Steam/ Itch.io to remove and hide 1000s of legal and consensual adult titles... And the Muskverse to function with payment/advertisers support. That platform should be banned and delisted at this point.
Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.

‘Add blood, forced smile’: how Grok’s nudification tool went viral
The ‘put her in a bikini’ trend rapidly evolved into hundreds of thousands of requests to strip clothes from photos of women, horrifying those targeted

I've never heard of God Wonder Picks in Pokemon TCG Pocket, but I guess that's something that can happen.

I saw one a while ago that was so disappointing. Someone I watched grow steadily from being a content creator to landing really great tech roles... Only to discover he's asking everyone to stop wasting money on ChatGPT, and instead use these 5 other AI tools combined. Why?

It's been almost a year since we moved, and I only got to calibrate our Denon speaker system... Figured I'd test with some eerie Destiny 2 The Taken King soundtrack.

Are we really asking that much for a job? Like when it's not a crappy AI position, it's one that ask of you to use the tool, or it's a questionable employer with history of harassment at leadership level, genocide complicit business, fascist approved practice or hybrid/on site roles...

Job applications these days, and their obsession with AI... I guess Paradox Interactive is one less publisher to support in my books.
