I'm Score, I'm a huge nerd for Eurovision (as in *all* the Eurovision) and game shows generally, and you can expect a lot of dorky ramblings on the above or on Game Theory/Design stuff.
Planning on posting about Eurovision National Finals a lot, to try and help out people wanting to watch them!

The press and "other social media" reaction to #GeniusGame is I think more proof of why the UK can't have good television anymore.
Honestly fantastic that it's even come close to replicating the original.

"media literacy" is supposed to mean, like, being able to spot authorial bias and propaganda in the news! it's not just a buzzword you whip out to call someone stupid when they have a different opinion on a movie

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25.
That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

Civilisation VII: Seeing loads of people saying the UI looks "Unfinished". What, because it doesn't have loads of pretty colours, visual flourishes and packing important info into tiny text? 7's UI is wonderfully easy to read and understand what's going on. Can anti-access stop being a trend?

Shamelessly stealing this after hearing it from a friend, but calling yourself an LGBTQ+ ally is the easy part.
It's called *being* an ally, and it is an active process. Please do your part to support the LGBTQ+ community. No matter what that support looks like, this is the time to stick together.

Also be careful about saying "AI Generated Art" as well. There's tons of algorithms out there for creating images, music and other forms of art without mimicking input data - some of which churn out really cool and interesting results.
This is why I think it's important to say 'generative AI' or 'genAI' etc when complaining about fully automated luxury plagiarism machines. A lot of AI and machine learning is good! It benefits genAI companies and enthusiasts if, when you say 'AI sucks', they can pretend you mean this stuff too.
Using an AI tool, one additional case of cancer was spotted per 1,000 women screened. Crucially this was without increasing false positives - seems an excellent result

Anyone who agrees with the whole "LGB drop the T" thing, take notice of how they just lump in "transgenderism" and "homosexuality" as both equally okay to discriminate against.
Either we all make it or none of us will, so we shouldn't fight amongst each other.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:
Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.
That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

AI “content” sucks anyway. It’ll never replace what an actual artist can do.
If you use AI generated content for your work, I’ll skip it. It tells me you have no confidence in whatever it is you “make.”

If I can just say.. ever since these tools for AI music have come out, my commissions have dropped a significant amount.
And that's really a huge huge bummer.
Please commission someone before using Ai. While it is cheaper. You're never really going to get exactly what you're looking for with Ai
