Donald Trump murdered this woman.
His administration did it in the laziest, most callous, & most remote way possible. I don't care about the technical difference between murder/manslaughter.

I had a friend who lost a large chunk of her teaching income because of DOGE.
She & her husband struggled to pay for rent/food, so they started working gig jobs via phone apps.
When Trump deregulated meatpacking, they both got salmonella & couldn't work.
Today she died from a heart attack.

It's buck wild to me that when I was 14 the Hot Coffee Mod was this huge constravsey that had GTA San Andreas pulled from shelves because you could access a dummied out sex mini game with a modded PS2 and now we just sell teddy bears that tell children to off themselves.
"Powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o model by default...tests repeatedly showed that the AI toy dropped its guardrails the longer a conversation went on, until hitting rock bottom on incredibly disturbing topics."
AI-Powered Stuffed Animal Pulled From Market After Disturbing Interactions With Children
FoloToy says it's suspended sales of its AI-powered teddy bear after researchers found it gave wildly inappropriate and dangerous answers.

Giving ai the ability to debank people is out of fucking hand. Anyone could be cut off for literally unknowable reasons like using inane words like surely too many times (whatever the ai latches onto as a 'pattern' between high risk individuals), and give the pretense to go after literally anyone

hot take : LLM are a dead end in term of artificial intelligence. the fact that some people look at it and are like "yes this is how the brain and intelligence work" just shows how little we know about ourselves.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

They did not tell me why or what happened. My recruiter’s boss simply had a video call with me where he told me the position was no longer available and they would “try” to find me something else. No one from his team would ever contact me again, even after multiple followups on my part.

I could not get my old job back. Riot had forced me into unemployment in what we now know to be the worst job market in industry history.
I finally found Riot’s Head of People on LinkedIn and sent her a 2000-word message explaining in detail how badly they had fucked me and asked them to explain.

That got me an answer, at least: it was nothing to do with me and everything to do with the studio’s ontologically evil c-suite acting without thought or care to whose lives they ruined. And they *had* ruined mine. I’d end up being unemployed for 9 months as the game industry burned down.

I’m *still* feeling the effects, financial especially, of that decision some asshole suits made. They should legit count themselves blessed that by month 9 of unemployment I had not self-immolated on Riot’s front steps. But the studio made an enemy for life and I will die spitting venom about them.

Hate the argument of "Well you can boycott for now, but soon every game studio is going to use genAI and you won't be able to tell or avoid it anymore!!"
dude there are already more videogames in existence than I'm ever going to be able to play in my lifetime. this boycott shit is easy.

Cool so you idiots didn't even get SNAP back, because he's gutting that next. Unbelievable quisling shit.
President Trump criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during a Fox News interview tonight, saying people "get it automatically now so the number is many times what it should be, it's disgraceful."
Trump says "we can reform" SNAP
"SNAP is supposed to be if you are down and out," Trump said on Fox News this evening.
