In general, the qrt dunk is a great thing and the degree to which both mastodon and bluesky seem to think it's fascist or whatever is stupid

a big issue i have with ai discourse is all the blame for failures of everything else in society. gpt isn't *making* people self harm, commit crimes, or engage in harassment. systemic exploitation and violence leads them to talk about those things with robots. open ai shouldn't be the world police.

I think it’s fine and even desirable that bikes be used for more last mile logistics and it makes a lot of sense that they use bike lanes where available. If our goal is automobiles off the road, I don’t know why we wouldn’t push for this.
To me this just screams of monetizing bike lanes and creating bicycle traffic and delivery vehicles that are bikes in name only
Excited to hear that Seattle e-cargobike freight/delivery initiative has launched. Pumped our new mayor will be pre-disposed to wanting it to succeed, Go @seattledot.bsky.social and thank you for your help, @c40cities.bsky.social #ClimateInfluence will be big. sdotblog.seattle.gov/2025/11/20/s...

this is the moral panic
the idea that a story, painting, drawing, video game, or other creative work that depicts uncomfortable topics is the same thing as real life CSAM or violence against women is how we end up having to scan our faces to open Spotify
no one is harmed by fiction or art

Alright well probably last thing I’ll say about it. Horses was submitted in 2023 with a Minor in it. Valve: “we will not distribute content that appears, in our judgment, to depict sexual conduct involving a minor.” “Re-submissions of this app, even with modifications, will not be accepted.”

DEI for married white guys
Chris Rufo—a prominent anti-DEI crusader—-says the “idea that private companies should be able to prioritize hiring married men w/ families is completely within the bounds of rzbl debate, &…it's absurd that individuals cannot hire whomever they want [ie, discriminate] in their own companies…” 1/

man I sure wish we honest people providing context for this $0.003/stream number, if only there was some other medium that played music at little to no cost for the listener that pre-existed spotify by a hundred years.
Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

I think some of this is BS ofc, but like many things from 404 Media on this topic, and generally many things in our current climate, it’s conflating all sorts of machine learning, robotics, automation, etc with large language models specifically. Sigh.

It’s so awesome to do deep state stuff as a British person. Don’t you guys put loaded shotguns in your mouths anytime you remember trans women exist
New: Liz Truss will tomorrow premiere the first episode of The Liz Truss Show.
Billed as "A bold new programme in a media landscape dominated by groupthink and timid consensus".
Truss: "The Deep State tried to destroy me but now I'm back and excited to launch this show."
