You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

As a reminder: The polls made it sound like Hillary & Kamala were going to win. I know midterms aren't the same, but goddamnit please make sure you're registered to vote & make a plan. With the shit they might try to pull, we may need a super-dee-dupermajority to overcome their thumb on the scale.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

I've been thinking what Shiver, my blue kobold, should look like. Turns out past me figured it out about a year ago that I forgot I drew this. And I don't believe I shared this here!? This was one of the best drawings I made that captures all his details perfectly.

Watching this trailer made me realize just how much of this game I forgot lmao.

I'm sorry but unless they completely overhaul the dungeon layouts, there's no classic game I could be less excited for than this one.

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

Abolishing ICE is now the official position of the Democratic Party

Dante Atkins@danteatkins.bsky.social

Here are things that happened at the DNC today: 1) Resolution calling to abolish ICE unanimously adopted 2) Brand-new early state calendar that reflects the full diversity of the Democratic base 3) Rejection of insider efforts to ban RCV from being used in presidential primaries Great results here
