The Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering teams at Wizards of the Coast have just announced they're unionizing. In a letter of demands, the union has urged Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast leaders to stop pushing generative AI. https://bit.ly/4hMhPzG

Thinking more on the "We need to appeal to Republican voters" nonsense that centrists Dems repeat. Not only do you not need their votes you actually can't get their votes bc the right votes based on identity. When asked Republicans can't define woke or socialism or even their own policy positions.

Asking ANYONE to give up their human rights for a political victory should be treated like the insult to liberty and justice that it is. And FUCK YOU if you think otherwise

So I do some mixology & finally got to try making clear ice at home. They call this directional freezing. Just a cooler with a removable top. I needed one small enough to fit in my side-by-side.

I'm developing a theory that the Horry Patter fandom persists bc it requires no media literacy. I do not mean it doesn't require media literacy. I mean it is objectively worse when scrutinized. Wizards magicking away feces & elves as happy slaves. This appeals to a certain kind of childish adult.

I wonder how much the poor build quality of most restrooms in the US contributes to Transphobia. The fact that some freak (like transvestigators) can just hold their phone camera under the door is a real issue. We fake privacy by separating restrooms by gender.

There is a simple, obvious strategy for Democrats to win. Promise things that benefit average Americans, do those things, then advertise that you did those things. This is the DSA strategy & it has the donor class in a panic. They put strategists on national tv scold candidates for not...

...appealing to elitist right wingers. This isn't even the strategy Republicans use. It is a strategy designed cause Democrats to lose. Republicans pretend to be for the poor & work in class & claim to want to punish corrupt elites. The promises progressives & the DSA actually deliver on.

I keep hearing about people using LLM chatbots to answer questions on how to use a piece of software & that it mostly gets things right. I wonder if there is a way to make a local model chatbot that just parses the documentation & forum for a specific thing. We had chatbots & autocorrect long...

...before the plagiarism giants stormed in with their magical thinking, e-waste farms, & circular financing. Also maybe the existence of an efficient, targeted chatbot that isn't pretending to be Skynet would hasten the collapse of the AI bubble.

The dot-com bubble was high risk investment spread around thousands of start ups. The AI bubble is even more investment but concentrated into just 2 companies selling a product with negative value. And tech companies that survived the dot-com bust are now investors in this new bubble.

The funniest part of the "Defense of AI" crowd is going to be when the automated plagiarism companies finally go bankrupt & the plug is pulled permanently. AI isn't like the Internet. It's 3 companies burning a billion dollars a day with just a few million in revenue. One product with negative ROI.

Forgot to upload this. Made the original (with the planet background) back in January February. The decals are all 3D objects. Finally got the energy to learn more about UV unwrapping to make the chunky pixel texture versions.

AI is killing jobs not because it is better or costs less than a person (it is in fact worse & costs more). AI is killing jobs because managers & investors are incompetent psychopaths with a religious hatred of anyone who isn't extremely wealthy.

Meta’s AI data-center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, has been caught infecting the town’s water supply with deadly bacteria. Officials say wastewater from Meta’s AI data-center flooded the town’s pipes with the bacterium Cupriavidus gilardii, and they found the company violated industrial waste regulations.

I still run into people who believe Real Capitalism is about market forces & competition. This is completely false. It's in the name. Capitalism puts Capital (tools, materials, & the owners) above everything else. Labor is intentionally devalued. Slavery is the preferred model under capitalism.

A reminder that there are real conspiracies effecting the world but it is always the ultra wealthy using networking & bribery to influence politicians & mass media to influence regular people.

I was away on vacation when this happened so just now learning the details of the wrinkled golden idol. Where are the Christians who should be outraged by this thing their holy book specifically calls out as a warning sign of evil?

We need to start saying it. Trump destroyed the reflecting pool on purpose. He is conspiring to destroy America by turning the white house into a trash pile & burning trillions of taxpayer dollars. The GOP hates America & loves foreign billionaires like Elon Musk & war criminals like Netanyahu.

We need to shove it down every fascist's throat that their monuments will be destroyed. Nothing Trump builds has cultural or educational value. Nothing the Confederacy or KKK built has value. Allowing losers to build statues allows them to rewrite history & to eventually attempt to steal the future.

it is genuinely very important that we wipe this guy’s name off everything he’s slapped it on and tear down his ballroom and his arch he wants to be mythologized and the answer has to be no, he is a loser and a failure which should be remembered as one

Most users were in for the novelty. Some used it as a search engine replacement but eventually realized a plain web search is more useful & more accurate than a ChatBot summary. No one is willing to pay money for the slop. The honeymoon is over before the wedding.

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

The federal government gave us a tax break but Republican state governments said "No! You don't deserve a tax break so we are increasing the amount you owe." Stop voting for the party that says government is a scam & tax is theft because they are the ones working to make that a reality.

Capitalism is destroying Western Civilization. The power of unregulated wealth to influence culture, economy, & law. US & UK are working to pass insane laws to removed all privacy & freedom in service to the tech industry. Your data, intellectual, & physical property will belong to the corporations.

California passed a law that will require you verify your identity to use any electronic device. The UK changed IP law to give AI unlimited free access to creative works. We are living in the dystopian cyberpunk future now. Most don't notice bc corpos are beige & the villains are idiots.

There is only one timeline. Do not lament what the present "could have been". Instead look ahead. History is never over & there are possibilities in front of you. Learn from the past & the present as we all move forward.

Now that Trump is starting an illegal war in the middle east the establishment Democrats love him. All of these sickos deserve the death penalty for mass murder.
