I really try not to be like this but “MS has graciously ‘preserved’ one of the most documented games of all time that was released 46 years ago, made freeware 28 years ago, and are using it to promote data centers, all for a game that could run on most abacuses” is causing me psychic damage

The Authoritarian Stack: a concise interactive feature on the takeover of democratic institutions by tech oligarchs.

The U.S. may already be cooked, but the rest of the world still has time to shift toward sovereign platforms.

Sora 2 is not being “misused” when people use it to produce racist, transphobic, misogynistic, & otherwise vile images—it exists to make it easier to put these images out into the world. Calling it a “misuse” is a grave misunderstanding of what these companies are up to, & lets OpenAI off the hook.

I'm in the Niger Delta and I just watched a man who had to abandon his home because his family members were dying one after the other from diseases caused by oil pollution pull crude oil from the water well outside his old house.

I made an alternative cover for JK Rowling's new book, The Toilet Constable.
Coming soon to a bad bookshop near you...

Print file can be downloaded from my website: www.spellingmistakescostlives.com/single-post/...
Photo of a Robert Galbraith book with the title changed to The Toilet Constable, a policeman holds his hand out stopping a woman from entering a public toilet. Back cover of the book. Text reads: Praise for The Shite novels. “The best book this year by the world-leading expert in stranger’s genitals.” - Daily Telegraph “Galbraith/Rowling lays out his/her dream society where not only toilets, but femininity itself is violently policed by both the state and concerned vigilantes.” - Sunday Times “In an interesting narrative choice, our protagonist spends half the book crouched in a toilet cubicle waiting for a woman with short hair to yell at.” - New York Times “Every page seethes with paranoid obsession.” - Financial Times “In a shock twist ending the author Robert Galbraith uses the wrong toilet and is punched in the balls by a transphobe.” - Guardian

new goon legend has appeared
In progress something awful forum thread: credburn Runa posted: "It couldn't have been the difficulty or the length of the game that threw you off" I grew up hating Chrono Trigger because of one of those childhood grievances that got attached to something else. Like, I think it began as one of those things where I had Secret of Mana and the other kid had Chrono Trigger and we got into an argument about which was better but it resulted in me getting punched in the face and I think my pogs got stolen. Then I go on the Internet and you know how fandom is, you criticize one or two things about the game and everyone jumps on you, it felt like being assaulted and having my pogs stolen again. Two bad experiences around voicing a not-even-that-negative opinion about Chrono Trigger, for the next twenty years my brain just associated that game with angry shitty experiences. At PAX West a few years ago my (now ex) partner and I lost in a game show thing because I failed to properly identify a music piece from Chrono Trigger, and none of this would have happened if I just played and enjoyed the game like the demographic datum that I am. Static Rook: Dumped for not knowing Chrono Trigger music. That's cold. credburn: She left me for a guy who, no joke, the first time I felt threatened by him was when he and my ex bonded so hard over Chrono Trigger. Nevermind, Chrono Trigger is nothing but bad memories for me

Did a new one
Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

35% of the value of the US stock market is the mag7, 19% of that is NVIDIA, and *42% OF NVIDIA'S REVENUE IS THE MAG7 BUYING GPUs*. Our god damn economy is supported by whether five companies buy more GPUs every quarter! This is insane!

www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-gui/ But Ed, They Said Something About Points of Growth- Silence! Any of these companies talking about "growth from AI" or "the jobs that AI will replace" or "how AI has changed their organization" are hand-waving to avoid telling you how much money these services are actually making them. If they were making good money and experiencing real growth as a result of these services, they wouldn't shut the fuck up about it! They'd be in your ear and up your ass hooting about how much cash they were rolling in! And they're not, because they aren't rolling in cash, and are in fact blowing nearly a hundred billion dollars each to build massive, power-hungry, costly data centers for no real reason. Don’t watch the mouth — watch the hands. These companies are going to say they’re seeing growth from AI, but unless they actually show you the growth and enumerate it, they are hand-waving.

You know what emergent tech of the last decade actually works well, and was adopted by millions?

3D printing. It’s great! So many applications.

But also nobody is sneering at you for not having or utilizing 3D printing. Nobody is trying to sneak a 3D printer into your garage without your consent

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

It is wholly irresponsible to keep doing articles that are "CEO of company that has no real association with the work behind the product believes the computer will do something fantastical." I'm sick of it.
