Since Disney seems so hellbent on burning warehouse-sized piles of money on "Let's-Appeal-To-Gen-X/Elder-Millenial-Nostalgia" with reboots and "legacy sequels", maybe they should try it with "The Black Hole".

Excellent summation here of how AI removes that internal sense of satisfaction from learning how to do something, and seeing how much you've improved over time at doing it.
There's no effort, so there's no reward, so there's no expansion of self-worth.

There's a part of learning, which generative AI completely turns into dogshit, which is *doing something you could not have done before*
Whether it's drawing, playing an instrument, solving a physics problem, organizing an essay, you find yourself doing easily what previously you found overwhelming

Elon Musk’s inability to come up with insult comedy on his own is evidence of a emotional defect, and his insistence on outsourcing creation to a banal plagiarism machine like Grok is the product of a slaveholder mentality that wants the end product of creative labour without the process or joy.

#Finland will begin to #Russia - proof its rail network, integrate with EU train infrastructure.
The Finnish government has announced the conversion of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to European standard (1,435 mm).

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

The two great American pastimes: white supremacy and grifting
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

So the live-action Gundam movie is rumored to be a riff on The 08th MS Team. If true, Noah Centino would prolly be Shiro, and Sydney Sweeney would prolly be Aina.
Going from being tactically silent about a eugenics pun fashon ad to playing a Space Nazi is an interesting career vector.

Do yourself a solid and watch "High Horse: The Black Cowboy".
It totally explodes a Gigafuckton of notions about Westerns, Country Music, Rodeos, and Horse Racing (among others).
May it tragically increase the blood pressure of people who hold on to those things as being White Culture.
