I am no longer procrasturbating. I am exasturbating the problem.
Someone just pronounced it “exas-ter-bating” on a 10AM call and I think that’s enough work for today.

It's the Scooby Doo gif of Freddy taking the ghost's mask off, only under the mask is still the ghost's face, because it's always just the same handful of annoying billionaires doing every level of everything awful
TIME magazine is owned by Marc Benioff, owner of Salesforce, who literally ran an AI agents puff piece about his ow company in the magazine. I’m unsurprised he thinks a bunch of grifters are person of the year, he thinks they’re cool
Just wait until you see Time’s Person of the Year…😱😭

This is one of the many reasons I hate AI: It diminishes our emotional reactions to the REAL interesting/beautiful/horrifying/amusing things all around us. The real world is an amazing place and AI is the opposite of amazing.

ALL you have to do is just not use it, tell these companies you aren't using it, and make fun of people who do. We need a mass collective effort to make genAI extremely uncool, lame, embarrassing, cringe. Everyone needs to react to it with a MOUNTAIN of hostility until they run out of steam.

You need the third category...Nintendo.
To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:
- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy
- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

One of the many reasons we have to fight the rise of the far right is the risk they pose to undoing the progress we *have* made.
Lot of people are already passing this around with the usual "WHY ISN'T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING" shrieks, while ignoring the fact that the article literally says that this is a *significant* decrease from the warming that we were on track for even a few years ago.
World still on track for catastrophic 2.6C temperature rise, report finds
