Figured I’d try a 2025 media thread
going to be back filling with some stuff I’ve already seen this year, hopefully this encourages me to watch some more stuff over the year

Of all the sins of AI, this is an unexpected and deeply annoying one
Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Having blue hair and pronouns is actually incredibly cool, that's why the most emotionally constipated people in the world get so mad about it

Leave it to @moxfield.com to give up a significant revenue stream over the holidays to preserve the safety and trust of their user base.
If Moxfield isn't already your deck building home, consider making the jump. In a world where businesses often let us down, a team like this deserves our support.

Another great reason to not use AI is the backlash and anger you can't put back in the bottle that comes with using it. Now, all of the writing and art for Divinity will be (rightfully) scrutinized for AI use, and people online will feel generally better criticizing it than they would've before.
Larian Studios, developer of Baldur's Gate 3 and the just-announced Divinity, is apparently using generative AI behind the scenes.
The backlash has been swift and loud, and now Larian founder and game director Swen Vincke has responded to clarify his remarks. https://bit.ly/4qcNbSz

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

I love Magic and Commander so much, but this hits the nail on the head!
It’s a horrible way to get started because it’s so absurdly complicated *ontop* of an already complicated game 😵💫

Remember if it was capable of “revolutionizing” art, film or music - it would’ve produced something of cultural value already.
Instead all its made is endless piles of derivative slop because that’s all its capable of.
