My view is that when someone who has very likely committed war crimes of a particular kind sounds like he’s stating an intention to commit further war crimes of that same kind, we should believe him

trans people: "I finally know what joy feels like. This is the best I've felt."
Various Govs: "Neat. Also: fuck you. Fuck your meds. Also die."
Cis people: "Why're trans people so hostile to the government?"

Golly gee willikers, Steve from accounting, it's a real fucking head scratcher, isn't it?

When people wanna give Nazis the benefit of the doubt, I have to ask why? Why are we doing that?

The environmental cost of datacentres is rising. Is it time to quit AI? As the QuitGPT movement gains momentum, should people concerned about the environmental impacts of AI consider opting out?

the best time to QuitGPT is yesterday, the second best time is now.

To make a serious point about "the Greens don't talk about the environment anymore", even experienced environmentalists recognise the need to take a different, holistic approach.

UK environmentalism is an echo chamber of upper middle class white voices that doesn't cut through *at all*

When the AI craze is over we're going to need an entire education system that helps people who have destroyed their minds with AI think on their own again, won't we

Because rocket launches are incredibly fuel-inefficient, there's basically no way to make profit from any form of space mining unless you can build a launch system that doesn't need rockets.

And then you have to worry about flooding the market with oversupply.

The RBA on Tuesday, probably:

"Because businesses are going to raise prices to cover fuel shocks rather than accept reduced profit, you're also going to pay more on your loans. Oh, and maybe lose your job?"

Is this really the best economic model we can manage? #auspol #taxreform #fuckcapitalism

Just three years after saying 'generative AI will replace the majority of [their] static content', Buzzfeed is in big trouble:

A friend who grew up in the punk scene confirmed to me that Nazis can’t help outing themselves and you gotta turf them out right away or they bring friends next time and it really feels like we gotta learn to do that with every aspect of society.

these people gleefully ripped apart the systems that kept millions of people around the world from dying of starvation and disease and now they go crying to a judge because they're suffering "reputational damage" on the internet

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

Nearly six months behind bars. No bail. When they finally dismissed the charges they released her in North Dakota with no winter clothes & no means of getting back home to Tennessee. They upended this woman's life.

Good translation shows respect to your devs, writers, and players around the worldβ€”and it boosts your profit and brand image, too.

AI slop translations make your brand and game look cheap and uncaring, and is a spit in the face of all the devs that worked hard to make your game.

It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.

This is not a joke.

We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

Gentile Americans, please know this. The far-right government in Israel doesn’t give one single shit about American Jews, but they fucking love evangelical Christians.

cannot emphasize enough that these people are genocidal mass murderers. 100s of thousands of people are dead because of shuttering of US AID. these people did that. they are Nazi mass murderers.

The term is SchreibtischtΓ€ter (desk murderers) and they show absolutely no remorse.

I mean, this is the other half that AI boosters never touch. Ok, let's say that LLMs are useful (they aren't). There is no way to make them make any economic sense and the entire industry is built on a ponzi scheme. what's your plan for when all the chatbots you've been using cost $1000 a month

BuzzFeed Nearing Bankruptcy After Disastrous Turn Toward AI Three years after its pivot to AI, the writing is on the wall for BuzzFeed. The company said there's "substantial doubt" it can keep going.

This is the destination of every company that tries to replace creative human workers with AI slop.

I don’t want to discourage the brave people doing this work but this is really lacking:

do you have the right? absolutely yes

if an ICE agent says fuck you and beats you to within an inch of your life, can you file a lawsuit for damages? basically no

I could have skipped that whole rant earlier and just said this. Nobody is actually worried about fairness in school sports. This is just a way to label trans people as "other" in some kind of formal or official setting, so that it may be referred to as precedent to other them everywhere else.

A guy in crowd answers β€œNope”

Panel 3:
The new guy looks at the TV screen and immediately screams β€œOH FUCK YEAH”
