I'm not even philosophically opposed to AI or AI development. It's that - at every part of the process, almost *fractally* - the current, actual AI development is at least *partially* immoral, evil, and/or deeply offensive.

the navy isn't as much of a surprise but i was not expecting we'd get the United States Marines in the national divorce

started listening to the audiobook of The Making of the Atomic Bomb by richard rhodes on my walks and came across the Death Machine passage this morning. still hits like a hammer 15 years after I first read it. my GOAT will never be washed

I may have been a lolbertarian *and* a full-on Fountainhead/Atlas Shrugged-reading Objectivist for way, way longer than any reasonably smart person would have, but thankfully I never let bigotry into my heart. I may be a dumbass, but at least I'm not hateful. 😸

The issue that matters most.

The Riveters will not be drumming or chanting as long as transphobes are allowed in the stadium. In the North End. #BAONPDX

Now I know what Polyphemus felt like... 🤔

HOW TO CAT: “Change.” All of you out there probably heard about the passing of Marmalade (from @coleandmarmalade.bsky.social ) a few days ago. I decided to come out of hiatus and do a little homage not just for Marm, but for all you out there who’ve lost a fur baby. Until we see you again, Marm.

@buddhaferret.bsky.social

Is it supposed to do that? I don't think it's supposed to do that.

Goddamn.

Chat, is this good? (/s)

I denounce guys who embrace the label "gamer"

Didn't take long for the NHS transphobic guidance to claim a life

WIP I'm chipping away at of an animatic of Wile tooning along to the bridge of Weird Al's "Hardware Store"! Maybe I'm late, but in hindsight, the contents of a hardware store really do seem to go hand-in-hand with a toon's bag of tricks xD #Weirdal #wileecoyote #hardwarestore

I'm doing this from now on.

So what you're saying is that we need *tunneling* cars... 🤔

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - When a man sets his mind and body on something and gives his hundred and ten percent, he is sometimes going to piss himself. It just happens. No shame in that.

KIM KITSURAGI - “You need to get your shit together.” YOU - “But I don't wanna get my shit together!” KIM KITSURAGI - “Then the world will turn away from you, and leave you behind.”

lately i’ve seen a lot of people complain that their roombas have started wielding swords. “how did it get one? i don’t even own a sword!” i don’t know man, you probably had one you just forgot about. stop being weird and just chill

Leave me alone!

bringing this back around

I was already pretty much there anyway, so it's not a big deal.

Maybe I’d have thought twice about slamming Shane Gillis and supporting Ilhan Omar if I had known it would upset so many stupid fucking assholes.

Happy Ol Cum Bus day if you celebrate

The developer behind Teach My Little Sister How to Drive, a driving generative AI-powered instruction sim, has been spending $1000 a day to keep the demo running, and now, they've had to take out a bank loan to keep up. https://bit.ly/4rWqe8g

If you think technology will solve your problems you don't understand technology—and you don't understand your problems. —Laurie Anderson

That's him! He's a cop.

I'm just so tired of the meanness that pervades the world now. I don't mean the righteous anger. That's invigorating! I mean the mindless, heartless dickishness that causes so much hurt.

sorry but seeing men write positive pieces about Shane Gillis' latest run at SNL, where is opening monologue was "women dress like whores now" after the weeks we've had of women yet again pouring a collective trauma about violence at the hands of men that trade on these same sentiments is fucked.

@kalpasoft.bsky.social what engine, if any, are you using for your game?

Always keep exploring because you never know what you're going to find next. These cyanobacteria use different types of chlorophyll (called d and f) which can be used in photosynthesis in caves where infrared light is sometimes the only light around. 🧪 www.bbc.com/future/artic...

I’m so glad Digger exists
