Seriously the press conference today was so bad. He was off-scriot because he got pulled back in to the current events discussion by journalists, but wow.

I mean… A lot of my vocabulary is anti-human, too. Its believable enough to make me wonder.

This is an important observation. You’re probably more right, that things can get worse without people caring. Sometimes when we say things will get worse unless we do something, that does prevent a bill from passing or someone awful getting elected or some business going bankrupt etc.

Americans do this with property too. If we only regulated foreigners from doing it, that would allow american investors the opportunity to do it more beduase they have less investors to compete with.

This take is basically accelerationism. That if something is bad it will inspire more people to change their opinion. Your take is fine, I guess.

Oooo thats awesome, yea!

He’s been credibly accused of raping several women and confessed to it without apologizing, took a 6 months break, and now he’s posting again.

He used one of his videos to talk about it and basically said “it could be worse” by pointing at other content creators doing poverty tourism and bad journalism. Of course Andrew is a better journalist, that wasnt ever my concern.

I’m trying to make it from New York to New Jersey. Traffic is slow, though. Yeah?

I like a good dutch oven, too, OP. What does yours smell like?

I’d prefer decommodification of housing but UBI is probably a step in the right direction.

its actually funny, I think she made fun of the police for being fascists.

I’m pretty sure the people who still use Twitter use it for the drama. Mastodon and Bluesky just aren’t as spicy to them. Hell, Mastodon takes setting up to even get anything interesting.

A surprisingly high number of leftists still use it as well.

My initial position was that AI art would be exciting when a more carefully curated training data is used. … But after some talking with friends, I think we’re living in a world that has minimal respect for copyright already, except when a corporation has a problem with it and wants to bring down the hammer of the law.

It does hurt and its easy to be emotional about artists’ livelihoods being threatened by AI, they aren’t the only laborers threatened by job loss to automation, but this one hurts the most.

So now its just up to AI and artists to make interesting art with it. And for artists to adapt to this environment that has automated art tools.

Oh. This happened to me as a kid, like, 20 years ago during the ADHD “No child left behind” scare. All the teachers wanted every problematic student to be put on Ritalin. They even had the pills on hand, no doctor on premises, and would try to use this secluded secret room and other coercion tactics to try and get kids to try Ritalin.

No one was fired or arrested, it was suggested in an anonymous letter to the editor that the “bad teachers be let go” when they built and opened a new elementary school building.

I’m sure you’ve heard this but just to reiterate, I’m super excited for this and I’m proud of you

Like I care. Amazon bought it, they have a monopoly, hey maybe these consumer facing startups would be more profitable if all the money wasnt already distributed so unevenly?

Awesome! I’ll be checking it out, I love live streams and hate Twitch, got burnt out of the platform after watching for ~8 years.

This is lovely
