Why does it feel like most tech these days is driven by revenge instead of innovation? Gen AI, artificial wombs, deepfake porn. It all feels very "you won't do what I want, how I want, so watch me replace you." So much resentment and vindictiveness

I used to be a tech enthusiast. I am becoming a tech dethusiast. I don’t want any more tech to buy. I don’t want smart appliances. I don’t want smart pants. I don’t want smart dumbbells.
I just want things that I can buy and that work for 20 years.

It is fucking bleak how my phone now has an entire Settings category dedicated to ads!
I'm seriously looking for 2000s (or 90s) Nokias this weekend.

New from 404 Media: it is finally here. A user on Telegram is charging as little as $10 to make AI-generated porn of any normal, non-celebrity person in the world (not deepfakes, but entirely new AI creations). Sometimes posts the real person's name too www.404media.co/irl-fakes-wh...
‘IRL Fakes:’ Where People Pay for AI-Generated Porn of Normal People
A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create AI-generated porn of anyone for a price, and has also targeted minors.

Is it a neurodivergent/adhd thing to have monologues and/or music blaring in your head constantly? Because sheesh the loud brain radio gets exhausting sometimes.

They addressed how fat stigma might lead to underreporting, but my quick and dirty theory is people who regularly eat ice cream stress significantly less about what they eat, and their health in general, than those who assiduously avoid it, and the stress reduction is the protective factor.

Discovering that there is a completely fictional version of you living rent-free inside someone else's head is weird and unsettling.

My feeling is that if you take a take a tax write-off on a movie, the movie becomes public domain. You shouldn’t get millions of dollars for destroying something.

one of tech’s biggest problems is that it used to invent stuff that made people’s lives better and easier and in recent years has pivoted to “fake money for scams” and “plagiarism machine that puts you out of a job”
This is what blows me away every time. There's no one who NEEDS predictive text machines. It's not curing cancer or feeding people or producing clean energy. It's just sucking up resources, convincing CEOs to fire humans who do better jobs than it can do, and allowing founders to siphon VC money
"will require a breakthrough energy source" my dude, it requires nothing because it doesn't need to exist. you WANT a breakthrough energy source to keep playing, and you can get in line behind the people who actually need it #comemierda

I know True Detective: Night Country is probably going to end in some miasma of ooky-spooky vagueness but I have enjoyed every minute of the first four hours and do not miss all the gnomic hetero-dude posturing a bit. I'll take angry-lady quasi-scandi-icecube-noir any time!

So Crunchyroll has acquired the Funimation library and is shutting down the app. Digital copies you purchased on Funimation? Gone. Wasted money.
People ask why I collect physical media. This is why. You can literally BUY A THING and a bunch of well-compensated assholes can be like “actually no”

Block and move on. Block and move on. Block on a whim, Block weird replies. We are not here to "win" the internet, we are here to read cool posts from experts and artists we would never ordinarily be able to interact with, and occasionally promote our own cool stuff to like-minded weirdos.
Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.
