• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can AI do 40% of your job? Block’s Jack Dorsey thinks so.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  AI could replace CEOs. As soon as you throw that out there, all the CEOs are like “woah now, hold on, you’re taking it a bit too far…”

  AI is a rich asshole’s wet dream. An employee that will work 24/7, doesn’t require benefits or PTO, and can complete a task faster? They’re all in.

  I’m really not sure what kind of world they want but I see patterns:

  • A government that pushes anti-vaccine rhetoric and suggests unhealthy foods in unhealthy quantities
  • Zero worker protections
  • Largest prison population in the world
  • Ruining both food and education
  • Poisoning minds and social circles with infighting bullshit

  🤔 Seems like they want the poor class to either be enslaved or dead. They’re going to turn the US into Gaza. A captured audience that either works for peanuts and owns nothing, or dies off and is no longer a burden on the rich.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Maintaining anonymity across platforms requires constant effort. It also helps to just not have any accounts on any mainstream social media platforms.

  Ah yes, my Elden Ring run in meme format.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Donald Trump just shared an AI video to Truth Social depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m okay going beyond just punching Nazis. We should string them up publicly like Mussolini and let them fry in the sun, while people throw things at them until they’re dead. Fucking tired of this dumbass country.

  What’s the middle kid’s shirt? That’s the only one I’m drawing a blank on.

  Capitalism gets so fucking lazy in its final, desperate form.

  “The gram”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X now lets any user AI-edit other users’ images without consent, and there is no opt out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough. They’re trying to reach the broadest audience they can. The sad part is the folks that will actually listen and give a shit is a dwindling number on Xitter. They’re better off posting to both if not already. A massive swath of users that would be more receptive moved to Bluesky or left social media entirely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X now lets any user AI-edit other users’ images without consent, and there is no opt out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t use any of them but Twitter has been rife with dipshits and racists for a long time now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X now lets any user AI-edit other users’ images without consent, and there is no opt out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They could be using a platform that isn’t owned by a Nazi. Best approach though is using zero of them because fuck social media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X now lets any user AI-edit other users’ images without consent, and there is no opt out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s this other thing called Bluesky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X now lets any user AI-edit other users’ images without consent, and there is no opt out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use xcancel.com for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X now lets any user AI-edit other users’ images without consent, and there is no opt out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Racism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In true tech bro dumb dumb fashion, instead of recognizing failure and learning from it, he doubles down and blames the critics.

  Sworn, way too much Ball X Pit, and Resident Evil Code: Veronica.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s Grokipedia launches with AI-cloned pages from Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fascists making a tool that does nothing but steal Other people’s work is so on brand for them. They’re incapable of making anything original.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 12th⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet! I’m gonna go that route. My wife just likes watching me play games, so I always try to share the experience with her. Control might become the late night game I play after she’s asleep. I love the work Remedy puts into their games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 12th⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just completed the first Alan Wake (again) and then finished Alan Wake 2 after it. Now I’m playing Alan Wake: American Nightmare. I started playing Control too, but it has a lot of sounds and visuals that bother my wife, so I’ve shelved that one for the time being.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework under fire for Omarchy/DHH/Hyprland support?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’ve been keeping track of that one and they are trying to get him removed from any sort of leadership role over the community.

  He’s been a dirt bag for as far back as I can remember.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework under fire for Omarchy/DHH/Hyprland support?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  DHH is a massive piece of shit. I keep seeing his stupid name popping back up recently and I wish he would go the fuck away. No community needs his toxic views.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than 60% of US game players only buy two games or fewer per year, survey finds | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely buy more than 2 games per year, but the types of games I buy and the maximum price I’m willing to pay has changed. Almost everything I buy now is from indie devs, and I’m very selective of the larger studio games I’ll buy (right now, for example, I’m cranking through Alan Wake 2 after replaying the first one).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump Makes It Very Clear They’re Going To Turn TikTok Into A Right Wing Propaganda Machine⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never had a TT account but have been on Rednote for months. I don’t use any other social media outside of it, except Bluesky. Rednote is fun and folks are nice. It’s very focused on learning and sharing, so you get content that’s actually interesting, as opposed to the onslaught of hateful, vitriolic bullshit US-based social media loves to force into your feed alongside the 50 ads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s official: EA is selling to private equity in $55 billion deal⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good suggestion a friend gave me: Go to the Electronic Arts Steam page and mark them as an ignored creator. It won’t block everything EA but can add a banner to EA products that says you’ve added them to your ignore list.

  Fuck EA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg unveils new smart glasses powered by AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  None of this crap is even consumer tech. They use the consumer as a guinea pig so they can eventually sell it to the military. We are the test subjects and only the idiots are buying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The industry wants senior engineers but isn’t willing to put in the work to make entry level engineers into senior. If you are considering a comp sci degree, don’t bother. Like the article says, train with cheaper skill-based courses. You may hate AI or not see the value, but if you want to survive in the tech field now, you have to learn how to harness AI tools (and that doesn’t mean writing prompts).

  This is the state of tech now. The capitalists once again have managed to suck all of the air and fun out of the room so that they can go live on some compound when things inevitably go to shit because of their irresponsible behavior.

  If you’re basing whether or not you’re “left” on anecdotal evidence of some leftists celebrating his death, you probably weren’t very left to begin with.
