Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

There is no congruent way to look at generative AI and think “this is the future.” The most well known fact about it is that it messes up all the time, the next being that it loses lots of money.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

Analysis | Losses by Spanberger, Sherrill, and Mamdani would be devastating for Democrats. Wins could be even worse.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I don't think we understand just how bad the decline of the Internet is to knowledge.

3 years ago, I could perform a very basic search in any engine and get an absurd number of relevant links, research articles, etc.

Today, I can perform the same search and find absolutely nothing.

Hi guys. I am once again on the podcast “Peak Movies 1985,” to talk about “Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins” with my wife who helps me map the contours of the terrible representation of woman and Asians.

Well, all Kickstarter campaign info is supposed to be confidential, but, I suppose I can share this so there is some context to me once again thanking @linkara.bsky.social, @comictropes.bsky.social and Deviant Art (who isn't on BlueSky).

Unless several people cancel their pledges in the next two hours, we did it! 🥳

A big chunk of our pledges exist because of the help we got from @linkara.bsky.social, @comictropes.bsky.social and @comiccrusaders.bsky.social. Thanks guys.

#RoguesGallery lives! 🦸‍♀️🦹‍♂️
