When @BrennanLM posts an excellent thread of resources for voting on Tuesday, apparently I am chaotically inspired to make Fox text posts. Remember: If you're turned away at the polls, it is magic law that you get a provisional ballot. (Don't eat your ballot, though.)

My stance on the “war machine” has been unwavering since I was a teenager: Every US President in my lifetime has been a war criminal by the standards of the post WWII Geneva Conventions and if there was any justice in this world they would be treated as such and answer for those

I'm a forever GM and while I know it's a pretty boring concept, before I shuffle off this mortal coil I'd love to be in a game playing a human wizard from level 1-20 and do the whole "young fool playing with power" to "old man who has seen the threads of the universe" arc.

GenAi is a tool meant to disempower the poor/middle class in order to increase the top 1% wealth. That was its sole purpose for existing. Look at the corporations foaming at the mouth to use it, verses the people who are praying to be able to put food on the table.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. (Thread)

Russia calling in bomb threats to polling places in liberal districts across the country should be bigger news right now. They’re interfering for Trump right in the open, right in front of our faces

It's still staggering to me that Andor has not one, not two, but at least three of the most awe-inspiring monologues in all of science fiction. I don't know how you watch this show and don't want to change the world.

However it pans out, I am now wrestling with a growing coldness in my heart as so much of my faith in humanity has been wrung out of it, and a boiling rage that so many people are so determined to turn their own world into a pot of excrement.

I'm not deleting my account here cos I spent enough time interviewing cybersecurity experts that I do not want to leave my name open for anyone else to claim, especially as an author, but if I haven't found you yet on the Blue place, let's connect. (matthewphillion there.)

“It’s self-evident that generative AI competes with the work it’s trained on, and the people behind that work. But there is now a growing body of evidence to support this.” About that fair use argument…🤔

🚨 BREAKING: X's updated Terms of Service take effect TOMORROW. Pay attention to the AI clause:

FFS. I was just going to squat on my username for identity purposes but looking at the new TOS, it might not even be worth doing that. Years of interactions destroyed. What an asshole.

I've tried to find everybody I want to follow over there, but if you have transitioned over and we haven't connected yet, let's stay in touch. (I'm on threads too, same user name as here.)

The CEO of an GenAi company who is drowning in lawsuits due to mass copyright infringement and other unethical violations is now a part of this dem party “Accountability” team. What a joke. We’re fully knee deep in the age of the Tech Robber Barons now.

This may be worse for OpenAI than people realize. Not properly engaging in the discovery process can itself lead to a default judgement against OpenAI, but actually deleting evidence? Yikes. The judge and jury will not look kindly on this, what a monumental f*ck up.

“A world where artists cannot invest in and be rewarded for their work is a world with less creativity and fewer people able to make a living in their trade. That is not a compelling future.” 🙏🏼 Craig Peters, CEO of Getty Images
