Oh my God. They put fart jokes into ANIMAL FARM and gave it a happy ending.

@himymcraig.bsky.social catching up on episodes and I’m listening to Arrivederci, Fiero. This idea of physical things you hold on to that ground you to your identity is such an interesting one.

For me the song that encapsulates that feeling is Gold Rush by Death Cab — ever heard it? Beautiful.

Periodic reminder that if you rewatch The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions you are 83% likely to say “wow those are way better than I remembered” afterwards.

Here's an old drawing of Sonic and Dr. Robotnik that I did www.patreon.com/posts/146259...

There are subreddit after subreddit full of people posting screenshots "evidence" that AI is becoming sentient, and none of them -- for even a second -- are considering that "I am alive" might be the most statistically likely thing a human might want from a prompt.

I cannot even begin to tell you.
How fast you will move to the top of my ballot.
If you publicly antagonize AI.

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.

"High-speed rail in the US is unrealistic"

He seems to be serious about the scholarship of it, but constant warnings of the existential dangers of AI are a *selling point* of the industry. It's part of the hype. It's why you hear the tech bros spouting it, because we have to give them more money so they can do it right and keep us safe.

For me, it’s The Devils Rejects 😂

the words that make up the title THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU are unpleasant and the order in which those words appear is upsetting

do you think the bsky devs feel any sort of way about their website crashing way more often after they started bragging about vibe coding or do they not care about anything

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

Three panel comic. Panel 1: scene from the movie Aliens; Ripley is in a mech suit and delivers her iconic line: “get away from her, you bitch!” Panel 2: the xenomorph queen lunges at Ripley in the robotic suit and they engage in a fight. Panel 3: later, the xenomorph queen is standing in the shower, mid wash. She says, “‘it takes one to know one, honey.’ That’s what I should have said.”

AI learns language from skewed sources. That could change how we humans speak – and think | Bruce Schneier Large language models aren’t trained on real-life conversations. As we encounter their language, it could affect our own

Oh:

A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience, especially from anyone whose voice resembled the default-female electronic voices.

Cult of the lamb seems like something you’d be into. :)

The reason that there are so many dad games is that some men had careers long enough that they both 1) gained the political capital to pitch and then execute a project with those themes 2) were able to sustain a career long enough that it was viable for them to parent while still work* in games.

If it looks like a concentration camp and sounds like a concentration camp,

that’s clearly a dragon

hey, what the fuck?!

It is profoundly unjust that we have to live this way. It doesn’t make any fucking sense and it’s driving me insane

They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖

Would love to know how the Liberals that want to ban teenagers from using social media feel about Mark Carney calling for AI in the classroom?

“AI in education can meet every child where they are”

A couple weeks ago, Nicholas Keung at the Toronto Star reported on how generative AI is being used to assess immigration applications in Canada...and how it's led to refusals because of stuff the AI tool added in, that humans (clearly) failed to check.

He told ChatGPT he was a nazі іncel who wanted to dіe, then asked how many people you’d have to shoot at his school to get on the news. ChatGPT helped him pick his ammo, pick his target, pick the best time for the massacre, and then told him how to use the gun. Then he did.

Make stories about exploring OTHER WORLDS and CULTURES. Please, please, please stop making "Is the federation evil actually? Oh, no, they're still mostly good. Phew." stories OVER, and OVER, and OVER again.

You do not need to put *one hundred and sixty billion* (lmao) lives on the line for me to care about your story. You just have to make a good story.

If they had changed the finale stakes to just be the possible destruction of betazed, that alone would have improved things.

All respect in the world to Giamatti, and the writers did *some* stuff differently this time, but what we as a community of fans are grieving, is that star trek used to be a place to find a real diversity of story types.

Neelix distracts a girl from the fear of losing her mom, Data learns to paint.

"An eccentric loner is mad at the federation for not being perfect and letting him down in some traumatizing way, so the climax of the story is a referendum on whether or not the federation should exist at all."

Describes Star Trek 2009, Into Darkness, Beyond, Disco 1,2, Picard 3, and now this.
