We must fight hopelessness and apathy with art, joy, and whimsy.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"

No you don't.

If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines
During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Remember, sneering works. It’s working now. That’s why the lowliest AI fan and the CEO of Microsoft are trying to get us to stop saying “slop.”

AI art is supposed to be its flashy flagship and treating it as disposable rubbish (which it is) ruins everything

They say “But you LIKED this art when you didn’t know it was AI!” like it’s some kind of gotcha.

We liked the original artist upon whose stolen work the machine was trained. Kindly point us in their direction.

A few years ago I was (for some reason) asked to guest-judge a children's science fair. Fear not for the future: our greatest scientific advancements are ahead of us

wtf. fuck off Joseph
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is on CNN talking about “repealing section 230” so as a reminder: repealing 230 will destroy freedom of expression as we know it. It means more censorship, suppression & mass surveillance. This is bad, don’t let a B-list actor convince you otherwise. Call your representatives!

Yikes! 3 lines drawn in the span of 2 seconds and the "accurate" detector is saying it's likely to contain ai content. At this point I was curious to see just how bad this thing is at its job, so I used some other default photoshop CS6 functions on the smiley to see what happened

Kind of an awkward PSA because I've had some artist mutuals recommend these sites/tools, but
"ai image detection" tools are snake oil, and I feel like nobody bothered to scrutinize them.

So I opened photoshop cs6, drew a smiley face, and uploaded it to the "accurate" detector:

To call this "harm reduction" or a "good step" is to treat the public like idiots. It's insulting. They are acting like people making real demands are children, and they are the adults in the room.

Me, at least once a day: *reposts an image without alt text and immediately notices After the fact, has to unrepost*
anyway if you ever see these reposts in the two seconds before I undo them, my bad, I am very fallible

Surprisingly good video on the Cold War from David_thegreatest on TikTok.

Covers how the main threats to the US post WW2 were Britain and France's legacy of colonialism and the rise of communism.

Many of todays problems can be explained through this lens.

“There will still be assholes in communism” nobody said there wouldn’t be. But they’ll be living in an apartment like everyone else. Using the same healthcare system. And not have a trillion dollars of private capital. I don’t care if they are rude
