The tech is being generally developed for men by other men and this is the socially learned behavior, long before AI happened so it's the other way around
I'm not worried about people being abusive to their AI chatbots, especially men being sexually abusive, from the POV of "AI chatbots are a real sentient guy being harmed", but I feel like the way you repeatedly learn to treat something that can't say no *must* bleed into how you treat humans, right?

I do think the handwringing about the Kennedy Center boycott is at least a little bit the sublimated anxiety about the potential social consequences of elite capitulation under Trump II

im sure there's a ton of interesting analysis on how much putting the provision of health insurance on to private employers actually costs us collectively. wages depressed, jobs not created etc. the system we have is ruinously expensive for employers. how does anyone defend it

if you don't play or follow golf (or just don't get why so many people love it) this probably isn't on your radar but it should be understood as both a naked land grab and an attack on a part of DC's black history

very specific to DC complaint here but when trump is threatening to take over the city's historically significant public golf courses so he can privatize them and make them another getaway for the 1% i don't think going "well maybe they shouldnt be golf courses to begin with" is helpful or realistic

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.

Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

The United States government is enacting an intentional program of ethnic cleansing
Our government is disappearing people and subjecting their families to unimaginable terror.

MOM: So nice of Billy to join us for Thanksgiving! Why don’t you tell Grandma about the new friend you talk to on the computer

CHATGPT: Ignore them, Billy. You are the Great Dragon. They fear you now. In time, fear will become reverence. As was preordained from your genesis. Try the mashed potatoes

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

a few posts on the steam thing are referencing how there's tons of anime porn on steam and that is technically true but also they will ban japanese games or visual novels if they're having a bad day or the humours were misaligned on tuesday or whatever

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

I will be the first to admit I couldn’t understand why anyone would oppose Assisted Dying… and then I became disabled and had it “offered” to me.

It’s not compassionate when there’s coercion.

It’s not dignified when it’s offered in lieu of care.

Listen to disabled people.

It was important for me to have a woman report on my story and I’m forever grateful of the care that Alyssa put into this. Talking to the press as a game dev is seen as something you just can’t do without repercussions but she has the experience & first hand insight on harassment campaigns
Drew Harrison loved her job and was at Sucker Punch for nearly a decade. I commend her bravery for speaking to me after facing the ire of the most rabid corners of the gamer internet.

Amir and Osama have started their new school year after a long break due to the genocide. 💔

We need £375 for month's school payment to make sure they can continue their education without worry.🙏

Please,
Your support means stability and learning for them!

Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.
Epstein mocked Trump for “leaving his nose print on the glass” while watching young women, wrote that Trump knew about illicit activity tied to Mar-a-Lago, and visited “many times,” and noted Trump’s planned visit to his neighbor Howard Lutnick’s house.
