MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

Bluesky is more boring than Twitter.

Less of the artists and memes that I like, to be sure. There's just less people, which means less interactions, less reach, less energy. Comparing timelines is night and day.

But I'd rather be here than dealing with allllll the bullshit over there.

Gunna be real with y'all... at this point if you're using Twitter still I just don't respect you as a person.

This shit is just egregious and disgusting.

Existing on that platform means you are supporting this regardless of your feelings toward it.

-Leave Twitter Now-
For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

The platform is stealing your art. It's stealing your writing, your drawings, your voice, and it's feeding all of it to a plagiarism machine while giving you *fake* likes and retweets to keep you addicted to it.

L e a v e. Direct your audiences elsewhere and get off Twitter.

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

politeness politics has always been a cudgel to beat down victims for not being polite enough while people with power do active harm
At this point even if every single English voice actor came out to say Hoyo treats them like shit, the fandom would insist they were all acting unprofessionally and that’s somehow worse.

If all you care about is decorum and not the wellbeing of actors?

You’re licking an ugly pair of boots.
I'm chatting about this in another server with people and the consensus I'm seeing is claiming Corey is acting "unprofessional" and "Theatric" in the second half of his email.

But the main defense seems to be: "Their CN/JP/KR studios never have this issue. It has to be the EN side's fault."

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

I'm looking forward to 2029 when we remove and destroy every aspect of Trump's name on federal property like US forces taking down everything with Saddam Hussein on it.

That's the bare minimum any Dem should do. Leave no trace of his existence.

America has deindustrialized so much they can't even manufacture consent
I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

i honestly feel like this logic is just an extension of what I'd call the Default Billionaire Mindset, which is that anyone anywhere owning anything at all is an act of theft
Trump declares he is enacted a blockade on Venezuela until they "return the oil, land, and assets they've stolen from the United States."

This gaslighting is even worse than Bush demanding that Saddam Hussein "disarm his WMDs or the United States will invade," knowing full well Hussein had no WMDs.

We made the decision at TFS around 8-ish years ago to make it VERY clear that we don't abide bigots. We don't want marginalized people feel unwelcome in our spaces.

We really try to make it clear at every turn.
Hot take, but I think if you have an audience, you are responsible for that audience because they're a reflection of you.

If folks are in your spaces harassing other people, especially on your behalf, and you choose to do nothing about it, you're letting everyone know that's acceptable to you.

Over 45,000 reported jobs laid off, which doesn't even count the smaller studios in this amount.

Countless studios and projects shuttered forever.

Constant union busting tactics.

And top major studios investing countless millions and billions into gen ai.

But sure... let's put on the award show.

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI

The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage

This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.
