Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Seems relevant to that flood of journalists who in the last few weeks announced publicly that it was okay to return to X, that the platform had gotten better, and the worst aspects of it had been minimized. This is what you have endorsed.

On X, users have circulated nonconsenual AI videos created by Grok of a woman they think is Jane Doe. They continue to spread her name. People have praised X for staying relevant for AI and tech conversation. But it also is the main vector for a doxing. That is X. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/n...

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Hey you know how when Tucker Carlson or Nick Fuentes toss out some nominally left wing position, and everyone immediately recognizes it as an attempt to rehabilitate their image and infiltrate new audiences? Maybe stop praising the Pope just because he hates AI, like everyone else does.

SRC changed their terms of use yesterday, and released a news post with an FAQ. They make it sound like not a big deal. It's a big deal. The Creative Commons licence is gone. They claim ownership over the data now. Thread about what this means, and what we can do about it 🧵

The fired Rockstar workers are asking supporters not to boycott GTA 6, but instead, to directly support the union's legal costs as it approaches next month's employment tribunal.

Don’t boycott GTA VI. Fight for justice for the people who made it: youtube.com/shorts/hhIES... T-shirt preorders open now! All proceeds from the t-shirts, which are ethically made and designed by us, will go towards the fired Rockstar workers’ legal funds. bit.ly/4xLc4IP

Seeing how a lot of youtubers are freaking out about a new Fallout from Obsidian and just disregard the wishes or well-being of the actual developers is kinda hard to watch. "I'm so glad the devs were forced off other projects and Sawyer now has to morph his current game into Fallout" ????

We want to entertain a billion people a day. There should be an Xbox in every house. We want to replace schools with Minecraft. Master Chief should visit my house and give me a little kiss on the nose.

The paradox of DEI is that it actually forces the establishment to select on merit instead of privileging white/male/cishet mediocrity

To rely on AI is to subject oneself to a lifelong humiliation ritual. You must be willing to become a dogshit merchant that accepts, sells and defends dogshit.

Financial Times@financialtimes.com

The report made numerous false claims about the use of AI by organisations including UBS, claiming the Swiss bank 'integrates AI agents across investment advisory, risk management and compliance monitoring'. ft.trib.al/clkVSb6
