Today is my Birthday !!!

Stuff is hard all around so I completely understand if you can’t

I have an Amazon wishlist that is entirely my shoot the moon and kitchen items but it allows me to be surprised if ya want Check out this Gift List I just created. www.amazon.com/registries/g...
Oh me and @glittergremlei.bsky.social dissected this. Hudson Williams is a 24 year old and I’ve seen that man’s stretch marks

But nary a leaked high school picture

and Connor Storrie looks like a DIFFERENT HUMAN in press

They are smart as heck digital natives who don’t care if we “know them”
Right? But also they are weirdly good actors despite giving that impression so perhaps some of that is defensive camouflage.

It’s fantastic
In related observations, I'm almost alarmed at the level of acting those two pulled off holy shit. Like all credit to everyone behind the scenes that helped with selling it, but damn. The cognitive whiplash between the show and the press tour is hysterical.

THISSSSSSSS
GenAI being fundamentally based on a rejection of consent is obvious, but it's not as obvious that it destroys the inhibitions of the people who already reject consent.

It makes them act in public the way they used to only act when cornering their employees by the punch bowl or in their office

This is about control and adoration not love . Drip in prompt get desired out come .

Get affirmation and a ward against the “hard” parts

It feels good but you a mood I the parts of love that make it your special connection not just a dopamine hit
The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.

But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.
I had five fascinating conversations for this RPS piece, gathering perspectives on genAI chatbots in games, as seen in Where Winds Meet. Thanks to @meghna.bsky.social, @pyrofoux.bsky.social, @maxkreminski.bsky.social, and @chrisgardiner.bsky.social www.rockpapershotgun.com/horrible-bor...

Yep .

It was a tacit admission that they have been doing this much longer for a year , it was part of their success and they have amassed power based on PRIOR actions

Aka the cultural studies play book
Please note that the claim isn’t that he *spread* misinformation. It’s that he tried to *stop* it.
I’m going to be as gentle as possible because Imran deserves support .

But I want folks the misinfo space be very VERY careful about how they frame this , because the idea that misinformation is now concerned with green cards et al because it’s a “special category” is part of the issue
December 26, 2025 at 1:18 PM
We’re gonna hold two ideas at once

“This is absolutely abominable and should not happen and we must do what we can to prevent it IN THIS SCENARIO”

AND

“ This is a direct result of choices and bad community care based on bias that MUST BE UNPACKED”
December 26, 2025 at 1:16 PM
“Just a year ago” worked for YOU because you were being used as a professionalization and turn away from havoc that had filled the space with rot around race and “disinfo” that everyone WITH POWER avoided

While folks were DYING and I mean actually DYING begging you to pay attention
December 26, 2025 at 1:05 PM
And I have had to keep shit

QUIET because people while saying they cared about immigration fairness and race did not give one single solitary fuck about the same people who were attacking me And people like em getting MASS deported

This is not new it is an escalation
December 26, 2025 at 1:03 PM
I’ve sat in the conferences and done the jobs and been surveilled for YEARS now
. And I have watched the same people stunned be shocked at the concept that the attacks on cultural studies and DEI had a DIRECT CONSEQUENCE for misinfo

While some of them LAUGHED

This ain’t it

For context: Imran Ahmed is a green card holder with an American wife and child. His only crime is speaking out against things the administration doesn't like. #censorship www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

They’ve been attacking cultural studies and misinformation along racial lines and we have begged yall to pay attention to this since TED spiked it in 2019 and they were deporting Black student
December 26, 2025 at 12:58 PM
According to whom.

See this is part of the problem

This sounds great but according to whom and how were the US banded together

Because a year ago was also when we made. steps to reinstate hate crime tracking in certain sectors , no real commitment to race and failed MOST of the DEI goals
12 months ago, the US, along with Canada & the EU, were joined hand in hand to fight transnational repression from the likes of China, India, & Iran. Now, it's actively participating in repression & censorship. "UK social media campaigners among five denied US visas." www.bbc.com/news/article...

10: 30 but I’m also just this side of healed so my tactic is also

“I’m leaving at 1145. Anybody who’s not an actual child with no other means of transportation can do what they may. I am not wasting no customer service persons time because yall are late”
IF, hypothetically, you had to get 3 generations of a family out of the door at 11:45, what time would you tell them they all had to be standing outside of the front door?

December 26, 2025 at 12:51 PM
find other ways to work around the fact your protection of privilege means you weren’t “in the know”

Or your use of emotional volatility, surveillance and self victimization to try and make your abusive use of trauma as control.

Or the bots you’re manning to do so

I’m a bit of a demon
December 26, 2025 at 12:48 PM
I treat taking care of people in the public digital space Really. seriously

I am sorry the world hurt you so believe kindness is futile and you should blow up every attempt you don’t approve of ..

I will not let being sorry stop me from disassembling you

Im trained and dead inside
December 26, 2025 at 12:37 PM

I’m gonna try to reign in the curses

It doesn’t make you noble or righteous just an unhealed abusive twat trying to aura farm on horror

A big thank you to Shaw-nae for warmly welcoming us, sharing her history and her home. As she often says, Staten Island truly is the borough of many memories.
