Just one for the mutuals: If you think generative AI is "worth it", kindly unfollow. Why? - Exploitation / borderline slavery: www.cbsnews.com/news/labeler... - Billionaires building it on stolen contemporary work: - - 1 arstechnica.com/tech-policy/... - - 2 authorsguild.org/news/meta-li... 1/x

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...

Like Ted said, we’re giving away TEN one-year Patreon subscriptions to celebrate 10K YouTube subscribers! 🥳 A Patreon subscription grants you first access to Return to #Dolmenwood, exclusive Discord channels, merch discounts, and even more as the tiers go up.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

A million European data protection officers suddenly crying out in terror

Dear firmware devs - especially on audio devices. If you are adding a low-battery notification of any type, I want to hear it ONCE. The next time I want to hear about it is when the device shuts down! *grumbles to myself as my in-ears yell "BATTERY LOW" every 60 seconds*

in addition, Maleghast is now free for the next 3 days: tombloom.itch.io/magnagothica...

What a video. What a project. I didn't expect it to touch me as deeply as it did. If the beginning feels a bit slow to you, stick around. Once Jerry digs into his systems, it really, REALLY opens up. Fantastic work!

The largest AI music company now owns to your Songkick data, which includes your Spotify data. Including, but not limited to: • Contact info • Historical location data • Artists/songs you've listened to • Shows you've attended • App usage • Ads you've interacted with • Acquired third-party data

I can't tell if corpos are astroturfing AI "music" or if people are genuinely folding. Saw a bunch of comments under slop lately akin to "I know this is AI but I kinda dig it" feels very sudden and odd.

Realised my local comic shop @moderngraphics.bsky.social carries K6BD by @orbitaldropkick.bsky.social the other day! Had to snag one I have been getting into it recently and its so good!

just finished this nice, cheery, short video about #MtG Aetherdrift, and the political themes presented in it. definitely a video about magic the gathering, and nothing else youtu.be/4JghX1MBU68 @spice8rack.bsky.social awesome work

a resource-intensive feature that nobody asked for which solves no known problem AND is functionally not just useless, but actively makes the product worse? SOLD! 100 BILLION TO OPENAI, NOW!!!

Haven't shared that beauty here yet. My first sharp! by krieger historical weapons <3 #longsword #swords #hema

Also curious to hear how Spiderman is selling from the perspective of shop owners through this!

Forgot to repost! Longswords today!

An old comic style of a woman looking out her window at a city skyline. The bubble says, “What a stupid time to be alive.”

Just a friendly reminder, if you’re seeing a “storytime” video on TikTok and at ANY point you hear the creator mention an unrelated app BY NAME as if it’s part of the story: - It’s not - The story is made up - It’s an ad Usually they subtly namedrop it 1-2 times. It’s an undisclosed ad. Report it.

My club is organising the second installment of the annual Berlin HEMA Cup in march! Come to Berlin, meet great people and fantastic fencers. Registration opens on the 13th! Volunteers can already register for a lower rate! hema-cup-berlin.de #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #longsword

Marvel Superheroes is the FOURTH set next year so why in the world are we randomly getting previews now when we know next to nothing about most of the others before it?

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

Got a new Commander and realised he fits the season. Had to try this :D (the paint is on an inner sleeve) #mtg #magicthegathering #alter #art #holidays

An entire industry unanimously crammed AI non-features into every single device and service we used and repeatedly doubled-down despite lackluster response and adoption. But it's YOU who is hurting the economy for not being excited about it. 🙄

Here's a #scryfalltip for the civic-minded among you: @scryfall.com really benefits from high-quality scans submitted by normal people, just like you! In fact, they maintain a list of cards for which such scans are still needed; just search for: is:wanted unique:prints

I heard someone on a podcast say that music is boring now and, look, I am saying this as kindly as I can…skill issue.

Wieder rückt das Land dank der Union ein Stück nach rechts. Es ist unfassbar, dass eine rechte Hetzkampagne eine angesehene Juristin in die Knie gezwungen hat. Es wird nicht das letzte Mal sein, dass Rechtsextreme mit ihren willfährigen "konservativen" Helfer:innen genau dieses Drehbuch abspielen.

First exchange of yesterday's sparring session! close to 30C in that room 🔥⚰ Apologies for the quality, it's zoomed in from a very wide angle shot! Me on the right. #hema #longsword #martialarts #fencing #historicaleuropeanmartialarts

Judge me based on my commanders 💀
