Just a smartass pretending to be a duck. Quack. (Same as the Kinja dude. Press Secretary of #Twinja.) Started a blog. Here's hoping. (He/Him.)

I know there's a lot of other massive problems with "AI," but as a techie and a PC builder I am GODDAMNED FUCKING SICK of some stupid hype bubble designed to fleece investors and nothing else ruining my hobby.
Your crypto shit took all the video cards. Your "AI" took GPUs *and* RAM.
Fuck you all.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

A quick something to honor the memory of the late Keiko Nobumoto, gone 4 years now. You might not know her name, but her words will be in your head for the rest of your life. Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Tokyo Godfathers... Man. And for shit's sake, why haven't you watched Wolf's Rain?

What sticks out to me is how absolutely unafraid of prosecution this psychopath is. Part of it is narcissistic personality disorder, but it's mostly the perceived weakness of Democrats. Should they retake power, no one expects Democrats to hold anyone accountable.

you can tell this is the case because more than once I've seen some game get glazed back and forth for their accessibility options, go into the menu and see two dozen granular difficulty modifiers that have nothing to do with accessibility
and no 'text resize'

I do get really frustrated about "accessibility" discussion in games though because I feel like 99% of it is argued by people that don't actually need accessibility options

this headline, and much of the reporting, is the result of believing that the key to good journalism is never taking a position
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

the 'it's inevitable' argument requires me to believe that people will see the quality of their entertainment - their circuses, if you will - massively decline while prices remain the same or even go up and just shrug, and it's like, no they won't lol
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?
Riley Gaines climbed the MAGA ladder by vilifying trans women in sports. Now, teammates are speaking out about the real problems on her team: abusive coaching, sexual harassment, eating disorders. ow.ly/o3wq50XuCzp
How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
