By the way, so are the US-based ICE "detention facilities." People are held for no crime and with no charges, with no due process. They are held indefinitely. This is happening in Tacoma and elsewhere.
When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.

yeah i see your generative slopmachine can occasionally string words together in a way that might be construed as "technically English" but can it expend two books' worth of effort on half of one book making things come together in a narratively but also emotionally satisfying way. while CRYING

In case you need a reminder: there is no amount of capitulating to technocratic chicanery that will fix publishing. It has already made things worse and will continue to make things worse for everyone involved.
Orgs like PW should have learned this lesson eons ago but today's as good as day as any.

AI isn’t coming to publishing—it’s already here. PW’s new AI for Publishing Bootcamp gives teams the tools and workflows to keep up.
First session is Feb 11. Early Bird pricing is now open.

Two years ago, Tam's best friend Iphi was the sole casualty of a freak tsunami. Now, Iphi’s back—impossibly alive with a newfound affinity for water—and threatening to upend the peace that Tam has built after the years of grieving … by… being a really fun person to hang out with?

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!
![Graphic with multiple picket signs that reads "[up arrow] Minimum Salary", "4 day Work Week", and a big cancel sign over "AI Replacing Jobs" and so much more.

I think the main obstacle putting me off of opening bluesky (the way I used to open extinct classic twitter) is the constant feeling of showing up with bleary eyes and bedhead to some sort of Work Thing

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.
