Proteger a los menores debe ser siempre la prioridad más acuciante. El internet de hoy en día lamentablemente ya no sirve para lo que me sirvió a mí (encontrar personas afines a mí, descubrir cosas, crecer). El internet de hoy es una gigantesca maquinaria de maketing orquestada por Hitler.2.0

Smart Guy: I gave 44 rocks of OpenCrack to my Claudeswarm to regulate my breathing but Gurpsqrl pinged every 1.5s asking “is it time to inhale yet” and smoked all 44 rocks in 12 minutes, after which I started suffocating.
Me: I just breathe naturally.
Guy: lol enjoy using 2% of your brain Luddite

I have never seen anything more impotent than the EU right now. The US just invaded a nation for its own financial benefit, murdered dozens, disappeared the de facto leader, claimed governance and the oil - and has openly said Greenland is next, and our leaders are here going "oh well yeah haha"

He recuperado la fe en el futuro después de que un jefazo alemán en una reunión haya echado tremenda bronca por una cagada en un informe hecho con Copilot diciendo "¿Hecho por IA? La IA es lo que usa mi hijo para hacer dibujos de cerdos bailando flamenco, aquí quiero trabajos hecho por un ingeniero"

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht
Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.
He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.

We should absolutely see this as a betrayal, and we should vote and act accordingly. @ec.europa.eu has to be held accountable for selling out Europe - and the world at large through it.

Yo entiendo el impulso de querer volver a tuiter (o a Tuenti en 2009), pero esos sitios ya no existen. Somos Ulises, han pasado veinte años, hay gorrones haciendo banquetes en nuestro salón y bebiéndose nuestro vino. No hay a donde volver

billionaires will never throw money at this sort of thing in a real, meaningful way because they've never had to take out the trash or wash a dish in their lives and have no concept of it being a barrier to anything someone would want to do

call me when the robot can do my dishes and laundry for me and put them all away in the correct drawers/cabinets/closets without my input. that would give me more time to write, the thing AI keeps trying to do (poorly) for me instead.
