Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?
Never having a moment of privacy from corporate and government spying. This is literally what this is, all nice and wrapped up cozy under a faux concern for The Children™. Fuck this bullshit. This is about control and monitoring. Don't let them willingly usurp your rights.
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
the number of smart people (including people in tech) I've talked to who genuinely think their chatbot is sentient (or very close) is WAY more unsettling than the distant threat of Skynet
this jevil bores me. bringeth me out the pomni
AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS
AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING
WERE
BOTH
RIGHT
On top of reasons of role deconstruction and bodily autonomy, this is one reason why it's so important to many people in power to eradicate trans folk.
If you're secure with yourself, feeling good BEING yourself, they can't tell you you're broken and then sell you a "fix"
please tell your friends you love them.
in 'homer defined' during the nuclear meltdown when Homer says 'whichever problem this is i'm sure they know how to handle it.'' then homer realizes, 'AAAAA!!! It's my problem, we're doomed!!!' too relatable as a tech worker for speedrunning events lol
Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.
So I feel attacked, but real talk gifted programs suck:
• your identity builds around external validation for your cognitive output, not who you are as a person
• you're rewarded for being smart over working hard
• you never learn to struggle productively
• your ND is exploited
Fuck these programs.
trans people are a gift to the world and we ought to be treating them as such
BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.
If you are a game developer and you do not put silly cheat codes and easter eggs in your game, you are a coward.
I miss Big Head Mode.
Love how we had this series of extremely contentious and contemptuous interactions with this website's higher ups where they pretty much told us to our face "Yeah we're using Al to code, you fucking peasant. Deal with it." immediately followed by a good month of very frequent outages on the website.
We can tell
a garbage truck filled with man silhouettes labeled "whole man disposal services" caption reads "yes, the entire man."
The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.
BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)
YuGiOh card "Exodia the Forbidden One", but every instance of the word "Forbidden" is replaced with Bluesky's "Forbidden" error message. The face of Exodia is replaced with the Bluesky logo
If those admins could load this post, they'd be very upset
Things I wish I could post on the OBS twitter but can't
I desperately hope we get knocked out by the mammoth and it results in some front office changes
Oh and someone gains the common sense to kick Carter Hart out the door

love how the main two social media sites i use are "site coded with AI that's constantly shitting itself" and "site with an aggressively misogynist userbase that bans trans women for existing too loudly" which are also, somehow, still the two best options
the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.
would like to have a wee little word with all the people who said everyone was overreacting to the california OS age signal legislation
metro transit cops are already asking people in bus shelters if they're waiting for buses and if not, arresting. we had reports of it happening in a loring park chat on sunday night
perhaps the policing that less privileged areas of the city already face is simply finally making its way to uptown!
