Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Tumblr post by stimmyabby Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority" and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person" and they think they're being fair but they aren't, and it's not okay. 642,270 notes

this is the true end point of tech's pivot to "AI": taking code a machine almost entirely plagiarized from a human's existing implementation and going "I claim no ownership—the machine wrote this"
For those going home to visit family this weekend:
• Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus
• LG calls it TruMotion
• Sony calls it Motionflow
• Roku calls it Action Smoothing
• Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement
• Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.
Half Life (1998) is now as old as the first ever arcade game, Computer Space (1971) was when Half Life was released.
Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?
I’ve seen a lot of people say recently that narrative games can’t actually make player choices meaningfully matter because of exponential scaling issues.
To that I say, the first episode of Scarlet Hollow is free.
And if you remain a disbeliever, you can buy the rest of the game and keep playing.
I reuploaded Peak Twinks again to fix numerous editing oversights.
I'd appreciate if you gave it a like on YT and maybe reskeeted this to offset the traction I lost from the old one.

AH!
Dishwashers exist primarily to make living with traditional dinner ware easier. It's the anti-single-use-item machine.
The pods are like "but what if we force some single-use items into your routine?"
I think that's why I hate them so much.
Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching
Alberta's government invoked the Notwithstanding Clause this week to force teachers back to work and reportedly plans to use it again against trans kids in the coming days.
When governments can override rights with one vote, no one is safe. Sign the petition to defend the Charter.

This seems outrageously cruel.
And just a handful of months before these folks would have been set to enjoy the release of one of the biggest games of their careers too.
The imbalance of power in the games industry remains utterly fucked.
Bill 2 is a serious abuse of power by the Alberta Government and must not stand.
We invite all Albertans to sign up, send a letter to the Premier, and join the fight to stop this abuse of power: savethecharter.ca

I find this idea extremely disgusting and I support it 100%
*cracks knuckles*
okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public?
now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

Reuters “Musk says xAI to take legal action against Apple over App Store rankings”
Bria Sullivan standing with me probably thinking “what, like it’s hard?”
While Elon Musk prepares to sue Apple because he says it’s impossible to get Grok to #1 on the App Store, here’s a picture of me with @bobabria.bsky.social, the sole developer of the app that hit #1 on the App Store yesterday.
I understand why "renewable energy is expensive" is lodged in so many brains.
It is expensive *to set up*
The trouble lies in stopping there. Help more people get to the important bit which is that it is NOT expensive to operate. That makes investment in those technologies cheaper in the long run.
Ужасно
No kings in this country!

them: what's the safe word
me: and am capable of doing things
them: SAFE WORD WHAT'S THE SAFE WORD
