This got me to get off my ass and back All Will Rise. Meghna’s work on Sable (my 2022 GOTY), 80 Days, and Thirsty Suitors should have already been enough, but I tend to skip Kickstarters these days.

However this kind of principled stance should be celebrated and rewarded.

This is fantastic. Also difficult with how scarce funding is for everyone. Please back the Kickstarter & make sure All Will arise gets released.

Indie deckbuilder All Will Rise's dev joins No Games For Genocide boycott and plans to hand back funding it received from Microsoft "We encourage others in the industry to join us and take a stand."

all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com β€” it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand πŸ”₯

I don’t. Sometimes restraint is not the best option.

One of my close friends in grade school transitioned while we were in high school together. I cared about trans rights on an abstract level before that point, but it became far more personal after that.

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

Elon Musk's X Rots Your Brain Data indicates that Elon Musk's X algorithms indisputably drive users into right wing propaganda rabbit holes from which they may not be able to untether themselves.

this is a radical position but I believe that if you are a person of integrity you should not be using far right wing propaganda websites owned by sociopaths

Was in β€œtown hall” meeting with executives at work and got very passionate when they started talking about implementing ai for our health care records. This is yet another reason why this technology is a massive poison pill.

one thing that is going to be crucial going forward as the Slightly Marginalized Fraction of the right wing coalition gets alienated is that they had it the most coming out of any group ever and they do not deserve your forgiveness

The dude witnessed Trump's first term and then promoted him right before the election. The Epstein stuff and Iran war mongering wasn't new.

He respects his audience so little that he wants them to believe he accidentally got pedo Hitler elected

I wrote about an all-time favorite media genre of mine: the Sleeper Cell Panic story. It addition to helping prop up the war effort against Iran and pressuring Dems to abandon their (token) DHS reforms, it has the added bonus of promoting mindless paranoia and racial profiling.
