Many people seem to think that AI is a convenience with no cost. But for years, AI data labellers in Kenya and elsewhere have been organizing against horrific working conditions offered by companies like Meta and its subcontractors. Here's the latest story:

And just to remind people, GamerGate wasnโ€™t an anomaly. It was a symptom.

Banning AI for primary school children is FAR more necessary than banning social media for under-16s.

When I just now got an email from VGen with this ๐Ÿ˜ฌ They're increasing opportunities to get found on their platform, while Ko-Fi is committed to doing the opposite.

So Ko-Fi has confirmed they're not bringing back the search/marketplace feature. All discovery has to be done on your own, which super sucks.

For any fans of Ko-Fi creators, now more than ever, word of mouth would really help! It's free to do and can make a big difference for those creators.

With all the negative happening on the topic of Transgender people.

I would like to share some positivity for my Transgender brothers, sisters and those in-between.

If you're a Transgender Artist and would like be added leave a comment. ๐Ÿ’™

Love this, also shows how easy & simple it is to explain these concepts to kids "some people are just like that" there, end of explanation, no moral panic, just mutual understanding

But putting all of that aside... $100k revenue is *nothing* in the context of making games

$100k revenue = roughly $50k to the dev, after Valve's cut + taxes

How many multi-person studios do you know that could survive after making $50k from their game launch? Not many!!

Speaking of birds that need to be DnD familiars...

Seagulls!!!

Think of the chaos! Think of stealing people's sandwiches!

Chaos is the best part of DnD.

"Wait, we're not done yet," are some of the worst words to hear while you're in the hospital.

If you ever wanted to know why AI companies are trying to sell you so badly on the idea of funding their tech, there's actually an answer for that.

They're not Tech Companies. They're Multi-Level Marketing firms.

The computer equivalent of Neutralife.

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him

THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care

BECAUSE my position is immutable

Someone read an early draft, and told me they couldn't continue because the dog was dropped.

It wasn't hurt, it wasn't killed. It wasn't even his dog. But when the MC had world catastrophic problems he wasn't focusing on his roommate's dog.
