the AI industry is just versions of what BlueberryAI did to the spreadsheet of valuable public information Ty gathered and organized free to help others: scraping info without permission, putting their brand on it, paying to get better SEO then charging to view the work done entirely by someone else
it has also severely messed up the ecosystem of up to date quality answers that used to be shared by experts freely, since the major benefits of doing so to build any visibility or reputation have been largely replaced by sam altman getting credit and paid for any information people post free online
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Why are all the pop quizzes people ask always about bands and songs I've never heard of. Who the fuck sang "there's a bomb on a bus"?
freaks trying to convince everyone else that the ai is alive because they want a person theyβre allowed to enslave
"Oh so you just want to be a new kind of slave owner?"
hey look a fun history lesson!
Corporate surveillance and government surveillance are mostly a distinction without a difference.
Exactly this. These things are literally built off mass surveillance and theft, saying no to one application of the tech doesnβt suddenly cleanse the rot at the core.
oh wow maybe we shouldn't have put all our money in a kiln and set it to 4500 degrees

the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid
Big Reason why βAll Digitalβ for consoles just doesnβt sit right with me.
On PC you have options on where and how you buy your content.
If physical isnβt part of the equation, youβre just at the mercy of whatever the console owner wants to do as they have no completion.
When Unity started collapsing I made a quick "how do I get going in Unreal" website many folks found helpful. that website has now MOVED and is a DIFFERENT COLOUR. If you want Unreal demystification, tips and scoops, this is a place

Iunno, it's just so weird for me, as somebody who was an out queer in the first couple of decades of this century to see this rewriting of history where the "debate" about gay rights then was this genteel, public spirited conversation. They blamed the gays for hurricanes and earthquakes.
I remember being at Manchester Pride in the late 00s getting into a shouting match with the weirdo Christians who kept lying and saying we wanted to legalise CSA. Then an actual physical fight happened.
Like this narrative that the campaigns for equal marriage were a friendly public conversation where everybody respected each other is wild as fuck. It was only about ten years ago and you guys kept implying we wanted to fuck dogs.
The thing is that I distinctly remember opponents of gay marriage crying and kicking their heels and claiming to be oppressed by the mean censorious gays all the time.
a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy
the future is for trans people
This sucks.
Netease more like Nethardship, amirite

Thankfully the game was a success, and we went break even within a month. No one had to leave our studio ππΌThe past two years we have been full speed ahead on Moomintroll: Winterβs Warmth. Much thanks to the Norwegian Film Institute and @wingsfund.me.

I canβt believe today is two years since we released Snufkin. That game took over 4 years to make and when we released it, we had completely run out of money. On launch day all staff was in βtemporary layoffβ, a system we have here in Norway, not knowing if they would return or not.
I think the connection to viruses is a really interesting one.
Although given humanityβs most recent experience with viruses, Iβm not optimistic there is the opportunity or will to contain AI.

there's an old adage: "when a product appears to be free, you're the product" (usually, this means the product makes its money through advertising)
in light of the last few years, we can add an addendum: "if a business is run at a loss, it's another business's operating expense"
