https://mastodon.social/@404mediaco/112915502360242510 a reasonable takeaway from this would be "the LLM bullshit machine should be destroyed permanently and completely" but don't temper your expectations for what a better world actually looks like: the entire business paradigm in which it makes financial sense for Facebook to do this should also be destroyed, and if FB can't survive without it then it too should be destroyed, its assets expropriated and put towards reparations for the many people it has harmed.

Not going to link to the actual review because I don’t care and will not care about the movie in question, but I find it interesting how quickly and thoroughly the meaning of “AI” in the public vocabulary as shifted from “futuristic automated intelligence” to “bad and lazily made”

“This change comes after celebrities and billionaires voiced concerns over their flight data being too easily accessible online.”

Great, can the rest of us get some kind of bill that limits all these tech shitheads from tracking all our fucking lives? No? Right.

When the oligarchs want something from #Congress, they get it within weeks. When the rest of us want something, we’re shit out of luck. #classwar

"Video Game Execs Are Ruining Video Games": https://jacobin.com/2024/05/video-games-union-zenimax-exploitation

"If we accept precarity in the video game industry, or any other industry, as immutable or just a quirk of the 'culture,' we all lose. Game development does not have a culture of instability. It has a culture of exploitation."

Video Game Execs Are Ruining Video Games

The cycle of mass layoffs in game development isn’t a problem of the industry’s inherent “instability.” It’s a problem of exploitation.

The article is better than the headline. It highlights #CNN’s journalistic malpractice.

As Peace Protests Are Violently Suppressed, CNN Paints Them as Hate Rallies - FAIR

CNN offered some of the most striking characterizations of student protesters as violent, hateful and/or stupid.

Com Truise is now retro not because it evokes the 1980s but because it is itself 12 years old
