I have added two understated t-shirts to my product offering. #fuckai 8bitheart.printful.me/product/the-...

This should have made it to the US!

Oh, amazing. Slop bots are invading #baymesh #meshtastic #fuckai

The people forcing "AI" on all of us have lost touch with humanity. They assume we'll all want it because they think we have, too.

oh you "vibe coded" this whole app? prove it. show me the vibrator

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I was running low on screams today so I got some more #aaaa

I think those who love using AI for programming actually hate programming or their job; so it's kind of freeing to them

Join us, you too can achieve:

4) FFS people, it's a word matching program.

we're basically treating modern video game projects as post war steel now, contimated at the molecular level any and all things that exist after the advent of claude cowork must be assumed vibe coded until proven otherwise with publicly available evidence

hope you like pondering orbs

There is no such thing as AI art.

Tonight we'll find out what's under the hood. youtu.be/o4_1hC0ifXc?...

If any other consumer product were this damaging, unreliable, developed with massive theft, and brazenly marketed as capable of causing even more harm in the future, it would be pulled from the market and its creators prosecuted. Stopping "AI" companies is the moderate position. #fuckai

New from @timnitgebru.blacksky.app and me: "It is high time for us to regulate usage of systems sold as “AI”, not because they are magical machines, but because they are error-prone products that shouldn’t be used in high stakes scenarios." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

my god, it's full of PC Engine

i would rather remove my eyeballs than witness an AI tingler cover

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

when you are very proud of the work "you do"

Your reminder that there is a felon in the White House identified in the Epstein files as a rapist, there has been no investigation, and the files are still being hidden in violation of federal law.

No one should be surprised that OpenAI — a company that built their systems on stolen work — would steal the work of researchers and try to take credit for it.

I went to a tech hangout wearing this t-shirt. Three separate people asked if I used AI to make it. Like.... what the fuck? Do people not remember that you can make things? By yourself? With your own little brain? #fuckai

I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility

#vcf needs to get on board as well. There were a small but prominent number of tables with slop posters and AI-developed products without acknowledgement at #vcfmw.

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.

"I guess it's time to say goodbye, Charlie." www.live5news.com/video/2019/0...

This seems to be a no-brainer to me. Everyone I know who has tried playing around with these things learns very quickly that what they produce seems pretty good only when you're dealing with subjects you know little/nothing about.

Something I said in a conversation this week!

The only ethical solution (if we had a functioning government) is to nationalize, shut down, and prosecute.

Dear Apple, I'm not going to install #macOS Golden Gate, until you provide a switch disabling everything AI, including preventing the download of that humungous LLM thing. I don't want to sacrifice 20 GiB of internal storage for something I'd never ever use. Yours, Disgruntled. #NoAI

Never thought I'd get to plug a Commodore 64 into a DJ booth and blast SID tunes, but here we are. #vcfmw #commodore

I got my first "gen Z stare". I am very understanding about people's sitiations but "flight attendant" is perhaps not the job you should pick if answering a single, basic question about where to put my bag makes you cover your face and mutter incomprehensibly 🫢

Much like "AI" models are running out of training data, VC is running out of things to monetize, and thinking is one of the last. These companies utterly loathe the notion that humans can create something without having to pay for the privilege, and are trying their best to destroy that capability.
