This is exactly why the general public isnt ready for the so-called AI-Revolution yet. They don't even know what it means...
Like i bet some CEOs and Politicians out there think this is true and correct!

This is an insane thing to write about game development. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/a...
Most experts acknowledge that a takeover by artificial intelligence is coming for the video game industry within the next five years, and executives have already started preparing to restructure their companies in anticipation. After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player's real-time movements.

Palestinian freedom is a pre-requisite for our own, because if we can't protest and object and take action against almost 650 days of genocide and war crimes of this scale by Israel, we can't object to anything. If we can't save Palestine, we can't save ourselves when the fascists come for us.

And this is why the AI hype is really stupid 🫠 it leads to a reproduction of the most common not the best, most accurate or even real answer

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.

Honestly, if you're older than 25 and doing art, you owe Fatma your voice - she was assassinated with her entire family for just wanting to be 26 and doing art, and all she did wrong was being born as a person that our culture allows to be assassinated in a genocidal apartheid regime.

Israel will murder any Palestinian that speaks up, because killing a Palestinian is just one of millions harmed, starved, maimed, murdered - but letting Palestinians speak will tear down Israels' ability to commit apartheid and genocide.

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar. She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights. Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards. Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'. @fight_for_a_future @rowllingofficial

This is a downstream effect of Productivity Brain that I've only noticed with the rise of LLMs—people actually think the goal of language and math class is to "produce" essays and finished worksheets.
dclode.bsky.social Danielle Clode @dclode.bsky.social · Mar 24
Writing is thinking. We get students to write so that they learn how to think and use their brains. Using LLMs to do your work is like trying to be an athlete by getting someone else to do your training for you.
rohanmaitzen.bsky.social Rohan Maitzen @rohanmaitzen.bsky.social · Mar 24
What is the point of what we do if the interactions are not authentic? It is evident that students are increasingly turning to LLMs to "help" them do their work, with such dreary results - from handwaving generalizations that are rhetorically fluent but vacuous to outright hallucinations.

I think this is very cool, extremely important, and also I deeply wish the phrase "industry-wide" would not lead to a website that allows sign-ups only from exactly two extremely influential nations on a single continent. Regardless, great this exists - if you're a US/Canadian worker, check it out!

"The tunnels above ground". I guess when no one in the world questions you, you can just say the dumbest shit possible.
leftistlawyer.com Sheryl Weikal, still saying Free Palestine @leftistlawyer.com · Mar 18
Paved roads in the West Bank are now Hamas if Palestinians use them apparently
The tunnels above ground Solutions exist – confiscating engineering equipment, seizing tools, imposing fines hefty enough to make any contractor think twice. Yet these steps are not being taken decisively enough. These illegal roads are more than just pathways – they're a serious security risk. They enable terror cells, gunmen, and weapons smugglers to move freely. The new routes create lawless zones, offering safe havens for car thieves and criminals beyond the reach of security forces. These aren't harmless byways; they're lifelines for Palestinian terrorism, endangering every Israeli. But the danger doesn't end there. Road by road, kilometer by kilometer, Palestinian control over the land is tightening. This is the infrastructure and the groundwork for a Palestinian state. The equation is simple: wherever a route is carved, houses follow. The takeover of land always begins with access roads. Hundreds of "agricultural" dirt paths have turned into illegal villages in Area C, quietly creating an Arab continuum from the Galilee to the Negev through Judea and Samaria. The new roads connect Arab villages while isolating Israeli settlements.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

Israel just killed all humanitarian services for Palestinians. Medical, food, water, everything. The genocide continues. The scale of Israel's relentless murder and terror is unspeakable - a blight on humanity like very few evils in history.

good riddance I like it better here anyway
Black text on a yellow background, which reads: DRAWING A LINE At Studio Fizbin we believe in striving for a diverse, respectful, caring, and loving world, while standing against racism, misogyny, queerphobia, antisemitism, and all forms of oppression. Our work has always been grounded in these values. We watch with horror the rise of extreme right wing politics throughout much of the world. Many of the largest social media platforms are now eagerly bending the knee to the ascendant far-right, while intentionally proliferating misinformation and hate for their own benefit. As we continue to review our presence on all social networks, it’s nevertheless clear that one network vastly exceeds its peers in all these aspects: X. As of today, the Studio Fizbin, Reignbreaker, & previous game accounts will no longer be active on X. We do not want to continue providing engagement to a platform that actively pushes fascist content, nor can we stand by as its owner openly espouses racist ideology, attacks queer and trans people, and publicly gives the Nazi salute — a symbol for one of humanity's most horrific crimes, and which leaves no room for interpretation. FASCISTS CANNOT BE TOLERATED. NOT THEN, NOT NOW, NOT EVER. We'll miss the connections & friends we've made on this platform over the years, but we are hopeful and optimistic we'll be able to reconnect with you on Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, & Threads. Stay safe, and with love Studio Fizbin
