kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Swelling rage

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

An imagine explaining that OpenAI is Trump's largest donor

One more reason my soul shrivels up every time I hear someone say "I just used chatgpt to ____"

a screenshot of a reddit post saying that (quoting an article from extremetech dot com)

nothing can put a bigger smile on my face than reading that Microsoft has to scale back its AI ambitions because NOBODY uses copilot.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

What happened today? Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content. The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox. What happens next? The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in. What now? We raise our voices. Louder.

The issue is when they remove human interaction completely - there was literally no option to be put through to a human representative, no matter what I said 😩
So yeah, fuck AI

I had this exact issue with an online payment service the other day and the AI just kept going "I don't understand, please rephrase" and refused to put me through to an actual human.

This is how society slowly collapses. By putting fancy (stupid) answering machines in charge of customer service 😮‍💨

I don't see how them "creating derivative works" is necessary for anything I upload to reach the intended recipients.

Don't get me wrong, I'm also mad at the community guidelines, but I'm just so tired of every company adding a "btw, we're allowed to rip off your work" while making ToS less clear.

Hey artists? Maybe don't upload your art to Discord anymore. These are snippets of the ToS regarding your content as of TODAY vs. the previous ToS.

I highlighted the changes in the new one so you can decide for yourselves, but I think it's damn clear what they want from us 🙄

Good news chat - I am legally a man in the state of Denmark 😎

An illustration decorated with smiling pansies and leaves that says "Trans rights are human rights. We will love and protect each other "

Everything is really scary and chaotic for Trans individuals right now. Regardless of whatever lies and fear that is spread, we know that the world is better with Trans people in it. You are all worth fighting for, and we will continue to advocate for your rights and your safety.

Sharing with ALT text for those who aren't aware of the ongoing real world implications for trans people in the U.S.

"I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state..."

🐖🦌

Twilight Princess remake 😭

still hoping tho!

Thank you :D I'm very proud of him

New profile banner! I've been getting into art lately and thought this was kinda fun :3

Nida (@nidaquests.bsky.social) "Chat, I think I might have found a new tag that feels *right* for me (shark emoji) Gonna think it over another day or two before changing it, but I think this is it (eyes emoji)" In response to a quoted previous post from the same handle, reading: "Ever since coming out, I've felt like changing my username/gamertag to something more fitting - just not sure what yet (weary emoji)"

I did a thing! New handle is gonna be SharkCircuit, and I'll be changing it on all other platforms as well 🦈

Chat, I think I might have found a new tag that feels *right* for me 🦈
Gonna think it over another day or two before changing it, but I think this is it 👀

Ever since coming out, I've felt like changing my username/gametag to something more fitting - just not sure what yet 😩

y’all know what one of the first nazi book burnings was right?

y’all know why they did it

y’all know trans people were one of their first targets and even the ALLIES left us in the camps when liberating everyone else

y’all see what’s right in front of you, right?

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

So InfinityNikki just announced an upcoming collab with Stardew Valley and uhhh...

*glances at my very empty bank account* 👀

It's unfortunately impossible to separate art from artist, especially when the artist is still alive, still profiting, and still using those profits to hurt trans people.
