Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time

That being said the fact swifties don't seem to really be coming out in full force really does make it seem like Taylor's lost the mandate of heaven

Criticisms against Taylor Swift for Wood are overblown imo, considering how many masc artists have made songs about crushing pussy I feel like some of this is just people finding feminine sexuality icky

The thing that you absolutely SHOULD be criticising it for is the cash grabbing and AI stuff

"the Twitter accounts @Anarseldain and @realMattForney have been openly and repeatedly doxxing left-wing posters...publishing real names, addresses, phone numbers...Anarseldain is even fundraising off of it... they are completely candid about what they are paying for"

Twitter is a one-way doxxing machine for the right

You probably should not post there if you value your privacy!

This is a genuine plea I wholeheartedly agree with, though I will say the whole reason it was introduced in the first place was to skirt draconian content filters introduced by big tech. It's online censorship that is making us talk like babies

Leen McBeans 🦇 @leenmcbeans.bsky.social · 2d

It will never not bother me to hear “unalived” or “graped”. We’ve more than proved that banning language only creates different words for the same topics that we absolutely need to be talking about. Stop making serious issues sound less serious by banning the real heavy words. They’re not the issue

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Hey do you know what's a GOOD idea?

Telling people going to therapy that very normal things to say in a session are secretly making your therapist hate you

Clown shit from Time

The actual article is a little more naunced but it's obvious they're preying on mental health and anxiety for clicks

A screenshot of an article "9 phrases that drive your therapist up a wall", with phrases like "Sorry for crying" "what should I do?" and "I don't know"

i've been in a full-game speedrun drought in Rogue Squadron ever since the WR holder struck back and i've been grinding to respond; failing a trick on this one level has killed 2 really good runs, so i locked in and decided "fuck this level, i'm going to set a new WR"

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

Like I don’t know how you simultaneously undercut your argument for being a meaningfully decentralized platform while *also* doing a racism while *also* doing a transphobia while *also* proving to everyone you’re too petty and involved in forum drama to hold your position but Graber pulled it off

Considering how many of her own party are fleeing the century of tory humiliation to Reform, I am utterly convinced this video is primarily to win her own MPs back from the "not racist just don't like 'em" party rather than to win any actual votes

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted
