My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

AI companies are playing a game wherein these computer programs are presented to the public as autonomous individuals capable of issuing a meaningful apology. The machine is just a machine. Human beings owe the apology for building the machine irresponsibly and unleashing it on the world.
so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

My boss has been using Chat gpt all fucking year and getting information (usually incomplete and occasionally flat out wrong) instantly. They have devolved into the worst manager I have had in my life.
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?

This is what Fulnecky and her mom are after
Anti-trans demagogue and fifth place swimmer Riley Gaines earned $470,000+ last year from a conservative non-profit.
Notably, $420k was incentive-based.
A neat little window into the way the transphobic grift is being compensated.
I wonder what the per-post rate is?

There was no "get a smartphone or you'll be left behind" marketing, because smartphones are actually useful.
If your invention is good, you don't have to use that kind of pressure to market it.

It's like all of these hucksters and charlatans aren't actually technologists.
You don't have to threaten people to adopt a technology. If you do, it's worthless. You don't have to say "OH NO. YOU'LL BE LEFT BEHIND!"
It's all a con. People looking to make a ton of money and get out fast.

If people honestly want to define indie game as a self published it would mean the category will almost exclusively be rich people and financially successful studios. Which is the most country club ass way to look at this medium and I hate it.

This sort of thing gives me pause. We know Trump 1 "lost" 1500 kids at the border. Children in cages. Florida Concentration Camps. Deporting veterans to Somalia. USAID. ICE.

Truth is they have been trying to push these recommendations through for a substantial part of the year and finally got a big enough crowbar. Which devalues the tragedy by exploiting it.
