AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!
TAPS SCREEN

For like the zillionth time: Libraries are FREE for you, but WE still get compensated for our work!!
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

AI kind of feels like the endgame of this bit Graeber described in the original Bullshit Jobs essay: these people have been so thoroughly cleaved from any sense of purpose that they resent those who have one. They hate artists for their skill and think poverty should be the price of having a calling

there's that now-famous internet line about how climate change means watching clips of climate disasters on people's phones until you're the one filming it, and it feels like there's some parallel about watching fascist deportation goon squad videos until it's filmed on the streets you recognize

Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

Some of you may vaguely remember me running around MC Vegas like a chicken with my head cut off carrying tons of video equipment

It was to bring this idea I had to reality. This was the last major thing I worked on before leaving TCC, but I left before it was done

can't wait to see the result!

I also don’t think you can excitedly tell the investors, this technology is so advanced and impressive that even WE don’t know what it’s capable of and then cherry pick the parameters of the TOS whenever your lack of control has consequences. A feature when it makes you money, a bug when it costs.
"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

The Niv I played is signed by the 2019 Game Knights crew bc I was the first person outside of WotC to play the card (before I was a Wizard!) on their show
Having it at the helm of a deck on SUP 6 years later full of stuff I worked on was a real full-circle moment

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

"HRT shouldn't be easily available because it can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing."

Go into Walmart and go down every aisle and take note of how many easily available things could fuck you up if you don't know what you're doing. I guarantee you it's a lot.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

I do think young people should have access to puberty blockers if they want them but they should also have access to full, normal HRT if they want. Trans people should be able to go through puberty at the same age as and alongside their peers.
