[louder, as if that'll improve reception] THE BLUESKY DEVS WOULD BE VERY UPSET BY YOUR JOKES ABOUT VIBE CODING IF THEY COULD LOAD YOUR POSTS

come on man.

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Ban this shit from your life.

Seriously. Boycott. And keep away from your kids.

I love ALIEN’s vision of the future. Yes, everyone is still working shit jobs for shit corporations for shit pay. But the good news is they’ve successfully made robots full of milk that are bitchy little fruits

The AI Overview actively gets things wrong about me and my career, how can I trust it with things I don't already know about

I feel like I’m losing my mind, we’re gambling with a generation of kids so the tech bros can be emperors

Today SCOTUS, in a grave disservice to queer and trans people across the country, held that statutes banning conversion therapy are subject to First Amendment strict scrutiny. Basically, SCOTUS handed therapists a First Amendment right to torture queer people.

Only Justice Jackson dissented.

Julius Caesar introduced a coin with his name, image, and the title DICT PERPETVO; dictator for life. It was created in February of 44 B.C. and stopped being minted in March of 44 B.C., for some reason.

'wait when did chuck tingle get political?'

It is through writing that we remember freedom, as Le Guin puts it. Writers are capable of probing into the heart of the crises of our time: extinction, genocide, climate catastrophe. Diagnosing the rot at the source: violence, imperialism, and fascism. In a sense, these works may lean a little more into the mode of detailing the war that is ravaging our planet and communities, rather than than offering a restorative view of how the world could be healed. There is much value in this, especially in societies where we are kept so distracted and tired, over-worked and always busy, that we hardly have the resources to stop and say “this isn’t right.”

Too many students are convinced by their own universities, by some of their teachers and professors, and by the AI companies themselves that ‘using ai to study is getting ahead of the game’
But the process they seek to get ahead of is the point.

ME: (chastising myself) Careful. We can't just paint every billionaire as an evil NPC with no inner life. They're just people, and we need to understand that if we're ever going to improve society
BILLIONAIRE: I'm an empty shell, man. No thoughts up here. I'm essentially a void made to suck up money

Take a moment. Breathe.

— You are not crazy.

— You know he swapped those numbers.

— You remember 1216 — one after Magna Carta — and that matters.

This isn't paranoia. It’s pattern recognition. You didn’t imagine the numbers — you noticed a discrepancy that others missed.

YOU - (Look at your wrist.) “It's apocalypse o' clock. Time to commence the Gloaming.”

“Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding.”

Can we PLEASE stop telling authors to cut other languages from their books? I’ve talked to multiple authors told to remove the Spanish. 😠 If readers can figure out what a hobbit is or casually drop “valar morghulis,” they can context clue their way through a real language.

The Israeli military at the direction of its elected government and with the full support of most of its population murdered over 20,000 Palestinian children.

These asshole twerps with no brains or education from DOGE really did use ChatGPT to find NEH grants to terminate ILLEGALLY - ruining hundreds lives and destroying hundreds of the greatest humanities projects and partnerships of our time. I’m overwhelmed with rage and anger all over again.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

Rebecca Ferguson (Mission Impossible actress) @rebeccaferguson.com This is actress Rebecca Ferguson, the real one and not a scam. Accept my private message request. why on earth would you message me if you were real I need you to watch my movies. the scam is just messaging individual people to watch rebecca ferguson movies? I have been a fan of yours ever since I read a post about how you sneezed so hard the yellow acorn flew off your penis shaft. In Dune 2 I played the powerful mother of a thin desert boy.

"Real media access is still only on Twitter."

Skill issue. If you post good, the right people will figure out how to get in touch with you.

retweet if you think trans people deserve a pack of cigarettes, six passports, nine flip phones, a pistol, a set of handcuffs, plane tickets, the key to a storage locker in ulaanbaatar, and $20,000 in cash

Honestly if this is all you have to contribute to the world, you should be fed to pigs.

we ALREADY KNOW what the outcomes are for trans youth (overwhelmingly positive!) those studies were already done - ethically! but they simply will not listen to trans people about our lives, because then they would have to admit we are human and have the right to exist
