Just an elder goober who originally came here to post stuff about art, memes, and his hobbies, then things took a turn for the worse so instead he angrily posts about that crap…

Listen. IDGAF if I agree 100% with the message, if you're using gen ai garbage to get a message across, I will block your account. Gen AI is a tool of laziness, corruption, and greed and every "innocent" or "small" use of it STILL furthers it's creators and supporters goals.

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

This shit just writes itself at this point. Just the name "Epic AI MegaJam" is a joke that best describes what is going on with these companies.

America can have an oligarchy or a democracy—but not both. When Democrats next have national power, they must restrict the political power of billionaires, even including the so-called liberal ones that help put them in power. trib.al/UbF2XAk

‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

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...

Eyo, @barrykramer.bsky.social. I saw that Next Fest started, and I always enjoy your demo streams. I know you care about supporting human devs/artists, so I'd recommend trying out this chrome plugin that will pop up a flag on the game's store page if they have used ai : github.com/seeeeew/aiwa...

I think we're seeing a lot of really crazy bold faced corruption because it's their last chance to do so, and because they know nobody who can do anything, will say anything. 🤷 #political

Meta has suddenly suspended the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of the No Kings' national day of action. This shocking censorship comes just weeks before the midterm election.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Honestly, after such a long and costly development time on ep 6, if we can't get our support up to at least $15k a month on patreon we're gonna have to switch to animatic format with the fights animated inbetween. I can't afford an ep like that again lol.

as an artist I'd love this but I also think everyone else should also get it. I think UBI should just be default. But I think that would transform the economy into TRULY being the free marketplace of ideas, the car capitalists chase and hope they never catch lol #politics

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.
