It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Meanwhile I'm coping over here that I'm supporting the 2XKO team and *not* Riot. It's ridiculous. I am deeply tired and discouraged.

That's not how awards work. There's a reason people legitimately say it's an honour to be nominated
I think Moist actually said it best in his video, E33 is a very good game that did solidly win in the categories that it one. However it was allowed to outshine a lot of other solid contenders who deserved some spotlight. It feels like its THE ONLY good game that came out this year.

Someone during the steam launch reached out to inform me that SE was extremely unhappy with the games release on Epic and was in fact fully treating the steam release as the games full release on PC and ignoring the former releases.
Kingdom hearts was only on epic for years and it basically didn't exist to me until it came to steam

Yeah I think not only is there an ethical and moral distinction here, something like...DLSS is a great example of something that isn't the plagiarism machine. Well, technically it is, but it's the game plagiarizing it's own frames, for itself. Not the same.
Conflating machine learning tools with GenAI and LLMs are such a favorite of these bad faith arguments, too. Like, machines studying X-rays to better understand cancer is not the same thing as Open AI swallowing all my books via piracy to regurgitate sentences that sound similar. It's just not.

The same rich idiots that told me downloading a song on Napster was like stealing a car are trying to tell me that absorbing every movie ever made into *THE ROBOT* is fair use, actually, and a legion of dickriders coming to defend them because it's the future. Like fuck off.
This is the core of it. People think they're mad at the AI boogeyman but really they're mad about copyright law.

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:
How is AI *really* impacting jobs?
Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an:
-8% drop in all jobs postings
-~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs
-22% drop in journalism jobs

What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.
There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.
Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."
