Sure a shitty billionaire buying out the met gala is gross, but I feel like fashion and fine art scenes also have plenty of shitty billionaires, like are we at the point where we’re getting shitty billionaire elitism, because that is kind of hilarious.

I think part of the dysphoria around my colleagues having kids is just envy in that with the trans stuff and disability, there is absolutely no way I could raise a kid and have a career, it’s great that some women can these days, but it’s definitely a privilege I don’t possess.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
They're AI-generating the music here.
Fuck that.

The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

Important enough that I think it's worth translating: "We should consider everything AI produces a hallucination. Some of them may appear factually accurate. For the model, that isn't a relative distinction."
Wir sollten vielmehr alles, was LLMs produzieren, als Halluzinationen betrachten. Manche davon mögen zwar als faktisch zutreffend erscheinen. Das ist jedoch für die Modelle kein relevanter Unterschied
Wir sollten aufhören, es Halluzinationen zu nennen , wenn eine KI-Software uns Bullshit erzählt. Das klingt als könne sie nichts dafür, sei nur kurz geblendet worden oder versehentlich im Drogenrausch. Es sind Lügen. LLMs sind Lügenmaschinen. Ihre Entwickler haben sie als potentielle Lügner gebaut.

This is not just a shocking statistic. It is the lived reality of women across Britain. Each number represents a life lost, a family broken, a community grieving.
When we hear this, our anger should be directed where it belongs - at the systems that fail to keep women safe - not at trans people.

There’s a whole lot of things stranger things does wrong, (including near everything past season 3) but I still think the most notable thing is moving from a cosmic horror evil to just a kind of simple bland evil counterpart dude
