I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again — Ludicityludic.mataroa.blog

@zitron.bsky.social Thought you might be interested in this -- reddit has started feeding me posts from r/windows and r/windows11, and it is fascinating how overwhelmingly hated Microsoft's new "AI" features are, even among what you'd expect is a pro-Microsoft audience. reddit.com/r/windows/co...

I spent a long time experimenting with AI before finally writing about it in depth. It can be pretty useful — but is it worth it? www.citationneeded.news/ai-isnt-usel...

AI isn't useless. But is it worth it?www.citationneeded.news AI can be kind of useful, but I'm not sure that a "kind of useful" tool justifies the harm.

Nowadays I use @letterboxd.social instead of Rotten Tomatoes to decide whether to watch a movie I haven't seen before, and this spectacular tableau of reviews from @jbouie.bsky.social, @emmastefansky.bsky.social and @dankmccoy.bsky.social shows why it's so much better. I NEED to see this movie.

One thing that's cool about Meta is how they are incapable of moderating blatant medical misinformation, endless scams, and the literal planning of insurrections and pogroms, but they have real-time monitoring and censoring of Marisa Kabas and the Kansas Reflector. 👍👍👍

Annnd now Threads has blocked me from posting anything at all.

I've grown to enjoy Reddit for the subs that I choose to participate in, but their home page feed (FYP, sorta) STINKS. For one thing it's really awful at surfacing the posts that are actually new/hot within my subs, but more annoying is how often it injects terrible suggestions from unfollowed subs.

Oh shit oh fuck

Since the news of the day is Microsoft's "masterstroke" absorbing OpenAI and its fired-for-mysterious-reasons CEO, I'd like to go on record that I think this is all very dumb.

The Earth just endured its hottest 12 months in the modern era, and probably the hottest in 125,000 years, according to an analysis published Thursday. wapo.st/3u3R2JH

I was in Boston when 9/11 happened. I remember the anger, the urge to punch back and reassert dominance. I remember watching "Operation Shock & Awe" unfold live on CNN with pride, and never giving any thought to lives ruined by each bright flash of light. It solved nothing. It made things worse.

Hello Bluesky! I'm immediately amazed with how lively it is here, despite the limits of being invite-only. It succeeds at replicating the "good" Twitter experience of old, much better than Mastodon (pleasant but dorky and desolate) or Threads (a flood of inane engagement bait).

End of feed.
