This is one of the best stories in ages.
If he's dedicating his time to fucking up Sam Altman's shit rather than writing another GoT book, I'm into it. ✊
Judge rules George R.R. Martin and other authors can sue OpenAI for copyright infringement

• Said ChatGPT generated 'Game of Thrones' content similar enough to infringe copyright

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵
It was funny that I was like: 'Oh, yeah, I still have a Twitter account...' then I felt sad, because it was so good once.

I no longer have a Twitter account, because a) this is not wrong; b) nobody will miss me... and c) I'm only missing something that doesn't exist anymore.
If you're still on X, please consider closing your account now.

Please risk losing whatever audience or customers you fear you'll lose by shutting up shop there. They'll find you and you them.
Every business, government agency, media outlet and human person that continues to post on or go near X is consciously collaborating with the most openly white supremacist public figure since Hitler. There is no excuse.

There's been some opinions expressed regarding this already, but I'll chime in with my fair and balanced view -

Fuck this. Fuck this all the way to hell. It sucks shit. Fuck Hasbro for signing off on it. And fuck anyone dumb enough to buy this shit.

Thank you for your time.
Really sad to see Mbilia Studios using what is very clearly Generative AI to advertise officially licensed Transformers merch - don't care for that at all when real artists could have been hired

It's not confused and it's not hapless. They got what they wanted and got the center-right to establish it as the new common m normal. Then, consistent with the behaviour of all right wing racists for the last century, they refused to take yes for an answer and upped their demands.
More confusion from the hapless Philp/Lam team

“It is now our formal announced policy to restrict benefits to anyone who is not a British citizen. That is policy.".

Obviously, that would mean tearing up the Conservatives' own Brexit deal with the EU.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!
I can’t see a world where admitting that you have no historical knowledge of the thing you’re the custodian of is good

‘I know all about this and everyone’s wrong, here’s why…’ is what you want.

I have no skin in this other than not wanting to see fans disappointed, but I’d be very upset if I did
Held my nose and listened to Dave Reddin on Haskell's fucking podcast.

Reddin seems to see his detachment from rugby and the Welsh game as a strength… and look he may be right, but he also runs the risk of destroying the thing he's trying to fix through his ignorance.
Not enough alcohol to be really drunk, just enough to feel like death this morning. Drinking on a school night is a fool's errand.

Buying a house, a thing so many of us do because it's so affordable. In fact, we all buy houses so often that having a digital ID could save up to 22 minutes per decade!

Forty years ago, James Bond stopped Max Zorin destroying Silicon Valley in "A View To A Kill". In hindsight, we should probably have heard him out.
Trump using badly made AI slop to show him shitting on protesters is everything you need to know about these assholes’ need to reshape reality to what their ego can handle, lack of media literacy and attitude to art. Pls don’t share it. Fuck them. Ignore it.

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities
