Where's that clip of the Israeli candidate debate where every candidate in turn explains their unique flavor of ethnically cleansing Palestinians when asked if they'd accept a two-state solution.

I made the switch not too long ago and have been enjoying using Firefox again as my core browser. It still has AI features, but they are easy to find and disable (screenshot below).

In other words, this IPO will be built off the backs of the world’s creatives - who will get nothing out of it except obsolescence.

As Anthropic prepares to IPO for over $1 trillion, a reminder of Dario Amodei’s words soon after founding the company: “Distributed human labor is being used to train AI models by large, centralized actors, who concentrate the resulting profits while in the long run making the human labor obsolete”

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

Here's what **Environment and Climate Change Canada** is posting as ads.

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

This is obscene. This government is an obscenity. Canada has 200,000 year-round unhoused people and millions more who are food and housing-insecure. None of them are venture capitalists. Carney has defunded our services and is attacking what remains, including public health.

A good demonstration of how absurdly small insects can get. I was looking at a relatively small (2.5 mm) pteromalid wasp and noticed something stuck to its wing. It was an even smaller wasp.

Joined @stephruhle.bsky.social on MSNOW to talk about the AI bubble, its differences to the Dot-Com Bubble, and how if AI "doesn't work out" it's everyone's problem, with retail investors making up 20% of the market's volume and having over $4.65tn in direct exposure to AI stocks.

here it is: the biggest single piece of art I’ve ever made 😳 Inspired by eyewitness book ecosystem cutaways, it’s sort of uh a psychological ecosystem of metaphorfish as one does

Mister Petrichor Tibbs, the kind of bard who will leave you penniless.

Plaster those "100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes!" blurbs on every piece of marketing you can find and bump those numbers up even more, let's make this HAPPEN.

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

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...

Good morning! We're suing Meta for stealing our shit 😎 let's goooo

This is private equity, this is what it does. Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

I'm going to be honest, this is literally pathetic. "I'm just one guy and I'm not a big studio so I HAD to use the CSAM tools to make my passion project, there's literally no other way to do it as a single person" I cannot imagine admitting to being this inept on such a scale like this.

As a one person game maker: AI can eat shit. There's SO MUCH ROYALTY FREE STUFF OUT THERE. Or people who really awesome and do things because they believe in you, or for small dollars because we all love creativity. "I'm just one guy" so was the dude that made Stardew "I'm just one guy" is BS

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Some of the matte paintings I did for the first season of Arcane.

There's a vote going on in Alberta today that everyone in Canada should be paying attention to. To help make sense of how we got here, I sat down with @stephenmag.bsky.social to talk about the people behind the Alberta separatist movement. pressprogress.ca/the-people-d...

The US is trying to downplay the threat of Russia because they're laying the groundwork to force Ukraine into taking losses by cutting aid. The US regime needs the war to end for a russian oil deal and to mend their global standing, and they're willing to sacrifice all or part of Ukraine to do so.

Last week, after two years of bargaining attempts, members of Activision Quality Assurance United voted to authorize a potential strike. If you want to support these workers in their standoff which stands to establish precedent and set baselines for the entire industry, now's your chance:

“This sculpture was built to honour the lives lost on Bloor, Yonge + University during the 20 year fight for safe streets.” - Toronto 📸 @angeliquemoss.bsky.social

I feel like when people talk about the superiority of man made art over AI slop they tend to focus too much on the mystic of it and not enough on the fact that for a lot of artists the process is made up of a long series of complex and meaningful deecisions that a robot sucks at making.

We pioneered what we're calling 'Distributed Development', a bold new corporate strategy where we pay workers less money

There are still people claiming Trump isn't racist, if you can believe it.

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

Update: without explanation, and after being suspended for more than an hour during peak mobilization time, Zuckerberg's Instagram restored the No Kings account but we still lack admin access. More to come. Rest assured we will not stop organizing against this regime and its collaborators.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

i’m just so fucking sorry that my muslim friends have to be hit with this despicable racism every single day. it’s not ok and you should not have to tolerate it. this country belongs to all of us.

YES. JESUS CHRIST YES. ITS ONLY BEEN AROUND 3 YEARS. WE DON'T NEED IT. www.techspot.com/news/114234-...

Oh they also apparently have a 24/7 construction permit now. (After they illegally started construction this morning) bsky.app/profile/kaye...
