If you're in Nuremberg tonight: I'm hosting my indiedanceriotpopelectrobass queer party ORCHID.
holy shit. that's dark. i kind of get it because a certain kind of horror films sometimes helps me but how i remember it The Road is almost as dark as watching Threads.
I know it's a 'first world problem' but what do you do to not let the news cycle of doom drag you into the abyss of depression because I seriously don't know. I'm such a junkie for hope and working for it but bwoy, it got hard.
An Harpyen, Bären, Schlangen und Tieflings-Kinder-Gangsta-Kollektiven vorbei schaffen wir's endlich mal wieder aus dem Smaragdhain raus und finden Karlach. Die nächste Folge meines Baldur's Gate 3 playthroughs ist online.

There is an armadillo in Marty Supreme! Not the only reason why I really enjoyed this high-speed rollercoaster. Table tennis and the dark capitalist american dream - what a chase. On the right side of satire. Chalamee looks like JD Samson. And the ending seemed a bit off. Kudos for the jewish humor.
I notice Sam Kriss has managed to do the full cycle from being Me Too'd and cast out of the british left and UK journalism, finding sporadic work in obscure trad/right wing blogs, then unherd/spectator, and now being brought into the fold of mainstream US journalism
CAH has done a bunch of things like this over the years and it's great.
Diesmal mit Cam, weil ich nach diversen Hate-Shit-Stürmen der letzten Zeit, bei denen viele der Rechten mich auch für mein Aussehen angriffen, das Bedürfnis hab, mal wieder ungeschminkt was mit Kamera zu machen. No shame und so.
Hier kommt ein Baldur's Gate 3 Let's Play von mir: cozy tactician playthrough – geht das? Wir werden sehen.

I'd like to solve: Mamdani is Jonathan Pine and we live in season 3 of the Night Manager.

it’s just wild how people insist on going into great detail about their experiences with chatgpt after you’ve expressed disappointment and disinterest. like bro I told you I’m not into it I do not fucking care
Can I just say that Londoncentric is proving to be the most important media outlet in London and a crucial part of the city's social and political fabric. I'm a subscriber and I always feel like it's a great investment
Another welcome review from the German press but one quirk of Musk coverage from Europe I've noticed is the sense that his star has somehow fallen. If only. His rift with the admin is healed and the below is his rise in net worth per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index over the past year alone.
The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack.

any locally run LLM - regardless of what datasets you plan to feed it - has already been trained on personal data/stolen work, on thousands of GPUs, in a huge power/water hungry data center, for months
its why you should laugh at any "artist" that claims they only trained an LLM on their "own work"
the "open source LLMs running locally" idea is very naive
nobody in the OS community has the resources to build an LLM "from scratch" - mainly ppl use a variant of Llama - meta's LLM - trained on stolen data that was cleaned by underpaid workers in global south - and thus exhibit the same biases
Amazon’s cloud unit has suffered at least two outages due to errors involving its own Al tools, leading some employees to raise doubts about the US tech giant’s push to roll out these coding assistants. Amazon Web Services experienced a 13-hour interruption to one system used by its customers in mid-December after engineers allowed its Kiro AI coding tool to make certain changes, according to four people familiar with the matter. The people said the agentic tool, which can take autonomous actions on behalf of users, determined that the best course of action was to “delete and recreate the environment”.
lol, AWS vibe coded itself an outage

Notice of Nina Power's Bankruptcy Order in The Gazette.
Notice of Daniel Shaffner Miller's Bankruptcy Order in The Gazette.
In fact, the ruling against Nina Power and DC Miller left both bankrupt, their relationship with Nick Land having contributed to the judge branding them "aggressive" antisemitic bullies.
(In short, don't normalise Nick Land.)
More on the case here: luketurner.com/victory-in-h...
Q. 2979 is the page. Now, Outsideness is the Twitter account of Nick Land, is it not, someone you followed? A. Mm hmm. Q. And this says, "Antisemitism is most likely a Jewish conspiracy. Nobody else could make a political theory that Baroque sound plausible to people". A. Mm. Q. That was from 2015, so that is a view expressed by another account that you follow, correct, which is, would you agree, antisemitic? A. I think it's quite a complex statement which Nick Land is making here. Q. Is it antisemitic? A. I think it's an ironic statement about - first of all he says that antisemitism is a Baroque theory. Q. Could you just answer the question? Is it antisemitic? A. I don't think it's a simple question. I think this is a statement which has different levels of meaning to it.
Q. Would you go forward, please, to tab 74? This is more tweeting by Nick Land. This is in 2016. He says: "Fact. White subnormals are (ideologically) the niggers of the earth. Also fact: they're white subnormals (Jewy machinations notwithstanding)." Then he says, "Of course they get a bum rap. The only people who will articulate that above the level of inchoate howl will be power-crazed hucksters." Then he says, "Going out on a limb here. I'm going to guess that it's the poor dim Jews who get disproportionately shoah'd". The reference to "shoah'd", that is a reference to the holocaust, is it not? A. Yes. Q. Is this an antisemitic series of statements by Mr Land? A. I find it difficult again to interpret precisely what Nick Land is saying here. He is a very ironic writer. He is a very ironic writer. He is referring to elements in discourse using complex rhetorical techniques. I don't think he is saying these things in terms of his actual positions per se. he is referring to something. I don't really know what he is saying, to be honest.
At trial, Daniel 'DC' Miller—a writer for neo-Nazi site Social Matter, which called for the "segregation & separation" of Jewish people—refused to acknowledge Nick Land's appalling antisemitism, such as his grotesque claim that it was "the poor dim Jews who get disproportionately shoah'd".
Tweet by Nick Land (Outsideness): "Zoned out there for a moment." Reply by Nina Power (gorsedd): "Dreamed that someone tried to charge me 33 quid for a sandwich last night. Was a 2/3rds sign of your imminent digital half-devil return."
In the lead up to the vexatious case, Nina Power could be found regularly interacting with Nick Land on her secret far-right 'gorsedd' account that was exposed in court—seen here replying to Land's 'Outsideness' account, fantasising about his "imminent digital half-devil return."
A tweet by Nick Land (Outsideness) that reads "So apparently there's a way to invest in non-literally punching Luke Turner", sharing a link to Nina Power and Daniel 'DC' Miller's crowdfunder for their vexatious libel claim against me. The accompanying photo shows Miller at the LD50 protest in 2017, with a protestor holding a placard up to him that reads "F**k off Nazi Scum".
Since Nick Land, the 'hyperracist' NRx figurehead, has been in the press this week, it's worth touching on the role his close association with Nina Power and Daniel 'DC' Miller played in their catastrophic High Court trial against me—with Land even promoting the case as a way of "punching" me.
