Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

This is so true + with social media there’s a lot of comparing oneself to others and also an expectation of feedback/praise that doesn’t manifest in ways one may hope that increases the frustration.

Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️.

But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤

Me, remembering walking past the TV in 2003 as the war in Iraq began:

Not fucking again.

A happy magic frog that says poof. You are now untired and very happy.

I CAST WHIMSY ON THE SKYLINE

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

It’s like ordering a well done steak and then sticking your hand in the pan before it’s obviously not finished and being mad your steak isn’t done

Because the chef wasn’t done cooking the damn thing

Ughhhh

Allowing the least cool people in America to think they matter to real culture is one of the biggest reasons you can't trust the media. Bill Maher is pitching to like 8 people but the execs who make shows agree with him so he gets a show. Epstein Class shit.

Data Centers Are Scrambling to Power AI Boom With Natural Gas As tech giants find creative ways to generate electricity, they’re building a glut of new fossil fuel projects.

The real cost of AI.
By 2030, the AI boom could add 44 million metric tons of CO₂.

I hate this because I only ever want to listen to what my brain likes, 99.99% of people have ass taste in music, and if you force that on me on a bus instead of sending me a link I can ignore at my discretion, I automatically think of murder.

Claude loses $13 for each dollar it makes.

It's a matter of when, not if, vibe coders wake up from their sycophantic wetdream to discover they've permanently deskilled themselves out of programming jobs.

Merlin has ever only done that once: in the pet shelter, when I first met him, I asked "so- are you gonna be my kitty?" and he nuzzled my face.

There is nothing quite like a little animal staring up at you, cheek cupped in your palm, with complete trust and adoration.

Love really is stored in the cat.

'A Big F*ck You to Big Tech': New Jersey Residents Defeat AI Data Center | Common Dreams "It's time to build communities, not data centers," said one local activist.

New Brunswick, NJ just canceled plans for a colossal AI data center after massive pushback from the community.

That's a huge win for people power.

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ utilities AND draining state resources — while enriching Big Tech CEOs.

Every billionaire in the Epstein files could drop dead tomorrow and the world would not only be fine, it would actually improve. The quality of our media would improve. Our environment. Our food. Our health care. Our technology.

Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission - IGN Publisher Finji says that TikTok has been using generative AI to modify its ads on the platform without permission and pushing those ads to its users without Finji's knowledge, including at least one ...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

I can’t think of something that would put someone on my “do not hire” list faster than that level of entitled rudeness, good god

I’m sorry that happened

People need to understand this is one of the primary reasons corporations & politicians have been pushing for digital identification to be required to use many apps & websites. It was never about the safety of children & is solely based on targeting people. Digital ID’s are NOT a good thing at all.

More robotic than the products they’re shilling, and it always makes me go “ah of course they can’t tell the difference”

I reject the framing of being Anti-AI being Anti-technology. I'm not anti technology. I love solar, high speed rail, and mRNA vaccines. I refuse to participate in the sunk cost delusion of technology falsely marketed as something it's not, and causes damage that outweighs any potential benefits.

I must sound like such an olbie telling anim students to not put clout in social media numbers and to please please make connections to community. The individual hustle and everyone rushing to make a 'viral indie hit' is gonna burn so many of ya'll out. Marathon not a race!

it's stupid because it inherently means accepting the silicon valley line on AI.

"the left" is like ten people. AI skeptics are most of the country. because we're well aware there are certain specific things the tech can do but ZERO evidence it's a multi trillion dollar industry

My newest char, Jasper, as an Everkeep-born Shetona, sounds like he’s from SoCal.

Ulls: Ala mhigan, therefore kinda Scottish/Northern, softened somewhat because she grew up in Thanalan
cayenne: I describe him as sounding like a Skarsgard brother where there’s some Scandinavian but it’s an undertone due to Cayenne spending most of his life in Sharlayan.

US Rep. Lieu on the Epstein files: "Trump appears thousands of times" "Inside those files are allegations of Donald Trump raping children, threatening to kill children. I encourage the press to go look at these allegations." #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinCoverup #EpsteinFiles
