I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Holding space for the Black speedrunning community and ensuring we get adequate representation and access to opportunities is why I'm here!
And I'm glad that it helped encourage others to do the same 🙂
Someone gotta be there for us.

I think @pleasantlytwstd.blacksky.app's work for and with @blackinaflash.bsky.social has done an immeasurable amount of good for showcasing and uplifting Black speedrunners and gamers. They've also paved the way for other people of color (like myself) to be more visible in our spaces too 💜
Because I just got emotional watching a thing, I'm going to inflict this emotion on everyone else: Please RT this and shout out someone whose work is important to you. Don't wait to praise our best until they're gone. Give them their flowers while they can hear it and know they're appreciated.

Any and every problem you want to resolve in this trash heap of a country cannot and will not be resolved until you confront the racism attached to it.
It is always. Rooted. In racism.
Every time!

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Its important to mention that a lot of this is also intended to pit us against each other.
Its much easier for PoC folk to be targeted when they are also being being so in minority spaces.

I've been trying to find the polite way to say "hey absolutely we should be alarmed about the targeting of trans people but we also should also talk about how cis and trans PoC are the targets in mind bc the people who think trans women aren't women also think WoC in general aren't women"
Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

I look at things like tonight's events and I think a lot about my very liberal friend who, years ago in these same political scenarios/setups would brow beat me about how people like Schumer were necessary for change bc the Mamdanis, the Sanders, the socialists were asking for "too much, too fast."

“I do so much”
Yeah you do and you never shut up about it. So that you never get held accountable for the fact you INVENT people on your head to be accountable or influential over
Rather than actually deal with your material affect on people right now

Getting real tired of hearing/reading about how "it's just that the decision(s) are so hard, we work so hard, we don't want to do this, it's for the good of the company, it was no easy decision"---
Your decisions impact people.
They impact people's employment, morale, well-being, etc.
