Or ai people could try finding a way to talk about it without combining the smug condescension of an 00's reddit atheist with the undeserved faux-intellectualism of a teenage libertarian in their first philosophy class.

Trump To Americans: ‘You Won’t Have To Pay Your Son’s Cell Phone Bill When He Dies At War’ WASHINGTON—Striking a note of optimism as the prospects for a protracted conflict with Iran grew likelier, President Trump on Friday urged Americans to bear in mind that they’ll no longer have to pay ...

“You may be grieving at first, but, believe me, you’ll be smiling when you see how much less you’re shelling out every month,” said President Donald Trump

Sort of anecdotal, but my time in the auto insurance industry has convinced me that a LOT of the dudes with the jacked up $80K Ford F150s are paycheck to paycheck, have staggering commutes, and get absolutely killed by quickly rising gas prices

venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars.

child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me.
mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed.
mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.

It seems the thieving grifter pieces of human filth at "superhuman" are using my work without my consent to create AI editors based on me. The world isn't terrible enough, we also have to deal with people just stealing our work to burn resources and enrich themselves in a brand new way? Fuck off

bold words from someone who was also told so by a bunch of people and is notably not president right now as a direct result

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

Choo choo the “if you’re not openly advocating for trans people, I’ll assume your a fascist” train is leaving the station 🚅

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

The Story Behind the Failure of ‘Highguard’ The ‘raid shooter’ game from Wildlight Entertainment had a promising start but lost players fast

NEW: Inside the failure of Highguard, which flopped so badly that developer Wildlight laid off most of its staff just two weeks after release.

Here's the story behind why people loved working at Wildlight, why Tencent pulled funding, and how it all fell apart: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

It seems like the majority of people are just looking at the headline and interpreting this as another "whoops! user data got leaked! our bad!"

What was actually exposed was code used in Persona's software. Code showing that this company is doing A LOT MORE THAN CHECKING YOUR AGE.

Child’s Play, by Sam Kriss Tech’s new generation and the end of thinking

This really helps me understand why the current times are shaped like they are, but the major takeaway for me is mostly staying way the hell away until all of this just finishes eating itself harpers.org/archive/2026...

I DON'T WANT TO "SHARE AND CREATE MY OWN STORY"

I DON'T WANT A SHARED PLATFORM

I WANT YOU TO MAKE SOMETHING COOL, AND THEN I PLAY WITH IT

HOW IS THIS HARD TO UNDERSTAND

I'm an unemployed video game designer with 14 years of experience and multiple shipped titles. Every day I get up to apply for jobs and every day the news says this

this entire division is cooked. its impossible to look at the timing, bond's complete departure and the credentials of spencer's replacement and not assume it's a sinking ship

A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing

This case is insane:

ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*

The young man they killed had no criminal history.

All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.

We don't know officers' names.

We don't have footage.

Discord lied.

they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company.

“facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

This response to why they cast a known sexual abuser in yakuza 3, when they've gotten rid of people for having done drugs in their past, is just so incredibly weak.

I am once again begging people to learn anything about governments east of western europe

"You have to use it. You have to trust it.": Forced Adoption of AI is The Subtext of Davos Authoritarianism is the AI Bailout; But If AI Doesn't Need a Bailout, Does it Need Authoritarianism?

Microsoft and Blackrock have "have largely given up on organic adoption [of AI] by consumers. They have moved on to a new dream of forced adoption mandated by government and managerial coercion."

Fascinating piece here on what Davos can teach us about the AI industry by @mattseybold.bsky.social

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

New games look 5% better than than they did in 2015 and are 120% harder to run.
