Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Good for Reuters for changing their headline. Pressure works. Grok did not do this. Elon Musk did.
@ketanjoshi.co: This is a thread of major media outlets falsely anthropomorphising the "Grok" chatbot program and in doing so, actively and directly removing responsibility and accountability from individual people working at X who created a child pornography generator (Elon Musk, Nikita Bier etc) #1: Reuters Grok says safeguard lapses led to images of 'minors in minimal clothing' on X Reuters: Elon Musk's Grok AI floods X with sexualized photos of women and minors January 2, 2026

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

#MarathonTheGame #fanart #artwork #3D #BlueskyArt
Fanart of Bungie's Marathon (1994), but re-visualised in Blender to match the visual tone and aesthetics of the new game (2026). Text on the side has the Marathon symbol, with the words; 'somewhere in the heavens... they are waiting.", alongside transmissions from Durandal, binary code, and an emergency alert sent out to all aboard the ship. Top image depicts BoBs aboard the Marathon colony ship coming under assault by a S'pht Compiler. A Traxus contractor is injured and cannot get away in time, while a UESC Security Officer implores a CyberAcme employee to be quiet, not wanting to lose a potential advantage - that is, if the officer can take it out. On a screen near the the Compiler is a ship-wide alert broadcast, informing all personnel that the ship has been boarded by alien forces, and to fight for their lives. The second image below it is a close-up render of Recon 54, the playable protagonist of Marathon. Water rains on their helmet and equipment from above, while the symbol of the ship and their designation can be found on the top of the helmet and visor respectively. The final image to the right depicts a M.A.D.D. (Marathon Automated Defense Drone) firing its main guns at incoming alien forces off-screen, defending Recreation Room #5 - an ice rink, now having failed at being a temporary rendezvous point away from the boarders.

ICYMI: I recently put out "Hope for the Future for Piano," my piano homage to Paul McCartney's work on Destiny, featuring some cool nods to obscure mixes and facts about the original song, as well as featuring a mix with the one and only @lauraintravia.bsky.social!

The quoted meme of red-button choice with the fuck AI option extended: "RAM & storage prices return to normal & capital loses power & energy & water & land are less wasted & critical thinking is less damaged & oligarches lose a major avenue for propaganda & fewer people experience psychotic breaks & creativity is actually valued & the code that materally impacts your life has fewer bugs &" the last line is partially cropped

@larianstudios.com and defenders: Please stop saying using genAI is "just like Photoshop" etc. Photoshop (or anything else you want to pretend genAI is like) has never caused a water shortage, a RAM shortage, or a potentially catastrophic economic bubble, and it was not created via theft.

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

“AI is ok as long as it’s not taking anyone’s job” and whose work is it trained on. Did you forget that it’s a bunch of stolen fucking shit? Are we moving the goalposts already? “it’s sticking around so you have to get used to it, be realistic” no I don’t. Eat my shit and hair

Making the chest piece Eris was a fun exercise in repetition. I think it turned out great.

Nothing is more symbolic of Europe's inherent weakness of resolve - EU and UK - than the failure of governments and institutions to leave X/Twitter en masse. It's easier to stay, so stay they do. Pathetic.

Rule of thumb, don't ever listen to a CEO about anything related to Ai.

Ai is being marketed as "helping" devs but devs don't like it and are being forced to use it.

The only thing Ai is guaranteed to create are layoffs, it's really good at that.

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.

If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

I bought, read and finished Arborescence by Rhett Davis today - I don't even know where to begin on how I feel, other than being totally annihilated.

Some books make my brain feel content, but this hurt my heart in a way that it hasn't been in a while, and made me cry. Thanks Rhett!
