AI is an inherently oppressive invention because it is designed to completely separate labor from the means of production. The result is soulless slop with nothing worth saying and hard-working devs left out in the cold.

if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

wrote about "Black October," the PHP vulnerability, and the AI-fueled dread and panic I'm seeing among almost all of the cybersecurity experts I've ever known. I think people w/ LLMs are brute forcing software the same way they brute forced social media w/ slop www.404media.co/php2shell-bl...

I joined PC Gamer in 1998, in the month when Baldur's Gate was being reviewed. I didn't do it - Ross A did, while I worked on Thief: The Dark Project. He gave it 89%, I believe, and I gave Thief 90%. A good month, basically. Bioware were never my core beat, but were certainly adjacent to it.

It's pretty remarkable that the most famous guy in the world, the richest guy in the world and the most powerful guy in the world are all the exact same kind of pathetic loser

just want to highlight the talking points here again, they're amazing again, this is Ronaldo's instagram essay, his recitation of the talking points he gave to his coach, shared with the intention of making Ronaldo look like the good guy it's incredible

Of fucking course, after waiting seven years for a new Gears of War game, the most dedicated fans who paid extra to play it early can't even get into the game and those who can are facing technical issues. Sort it out @xbox.com

7 seconds. It should be physically impossible to win a game like that. Justice for the bullshit pass interference on the previous drive. Incredible stuff.

RTÉ not showing Jack Moylan's celebration in the HT highlights. He kissed the black armband and pointed to the Israeli fans, before kissing the Ireland badge.

The burden shouldn't have been on them, but it was, and they bottled it. Useless cunts. Aaron Rowe had a lot more to lose and made the right choice.

Israeli journalist really going after Heimir Halgrimmsson for working in Qatar and not condeming Hamas. Heimir responds by praising the Emir. This is fucking mad.

These lads had the potential for a historic moment in their hands and let it go so they can kick a ball. That said, the burden shouldn't have been on them. Israel should've been kicked out of UEFA long ago.

Fulham have had some dodgy commercial partnerships in recent years, but Chelsea take the biscuit with a fucking crypto shirt sponsor. Scarlet for whoever wears one of those in public.

It's mental how it's the done thing now to trash cities for political points. Glasgow getting it tight now. Every city is shite if you seek out the shite bits it's not a new thing and it's driven by poverty rather than "immigrants"...same as it always was.

The wordpress block editor can get in the fucking bin. Tried to hyperlink one thing and it somehow thought I was trying to turn the entire article into an embed?? Erased all of the text and it won't let me undo it. Love wasting a whole evening.
