why did they call them "ai datacenters" when they could have called them "slopping malls"

much of the fediverse is "public" in the same way a conversation between friends at the beach is public. sure you can hear what we're saying as you walk by and even join in, but if you sit silently beside us with a tape recorder to transcribe everything we say for further dissemination you're still being a creep

too bad for the people who spent the last few months developing ai workflows that are now completely unworkable with no alternatives coulda just listened to the moral and ethical arguments against though or if that doesn't work the people who looked at the underlying economics and accurately predicted massive price hikes or the fact that you're willingly deskilling yourself by buying in or the fact that it just doesn't work very well at all not too much sympathy here actually

techbros however have no understanding of the value of social convention, and equate being able to do something with being allowed

they always say "family friendly" like queer people and sex workers don't have families. if you don't mean ALL families then maybe specify WHICH ONES so that we know right away what to do with your trash opinions

i block the "trending" bots on sight, and if there's a whole server full of bots boosting posts i'll defederate from it. they have no right to insert themselves into my social fabric #tagsPub

old enough to remember when you updated software on purpose and then it got better

your nuclear family can only exist under immense heat and pressure but my quantum family is simultaneously everywhere and nowhere at the same time

i don’t use ai to generate anything. i don’t use intelligence either. i follow the ancient ways

also i keep insisting on calling them noo-clear veapons for some reason

we might not be able to agree on anything else but we can agree that we all hate datacenters

more important than ever for everyone to keep hanging on to our libraries of books, music and other media as the ai companies seek to actively destroy our cultural heritage to make us dependent on them

when i was a kid if you showed any deviance from the norm you were said to be "going through a phase" caught playing with dolls and other inappropriately feminine toys? don't worry, he's just "going through a phase" girl down the street that's a bit too good at sports and likes to roughhouse with the boys? she's also just "going through a phase" we were all "going through phases" and the message was loud and clear. these feelings and desires you have are so invalid we're not going to discuss then or acknowledge them as real in any way

everything that's so terrible about the world is at the end of its natural lifetime and everything that could be good is only just beginning

@ireneista they're constantly telling on themselves and don't have the self-awareness to realize it

the level that our opposition is at is like "what if wile e coyote had a billion dollars and owned the acme corporation outright"

@catuscay@meow.social well it was me that had it so...

DO NOT WORRY about the crushing pressures and complete lack of air. recent advances in AI technology have now made it possible for billionaires to survive at the bottom of the ocean

@secretsloth totally. we're constantly assuming that our brains are just slightly more complicated versions of the most advanced machines we've created up to that point and we're always wrong because there is so much we don't understand at all

given that, they're surprisingly vulnerable and hard to defend. they really haven't thought this through

write something down on a piece of paper and bury it in the garden, call it a compost

@faithisleaping@anarres.family right? if something is so "innate" then maybe you can trust people to find it on their own, and in fact it may not even be something that needs to be found, given that it is already there

@pinkberet@transfem.social historically speaking it's the aberration

people are not really asking me any questions at all about my tshirt that says very clearly "i'm opting out"

@faithisleaping@anarres.family maybe if we didn't go around banging into people's heads the supposed immutability of gender since about the time they can walk or sooner we wouldn't think it was so weird. for something that's supposedly so innate we sure have to talk about it a lot, especially to young children

570 bugs fixed and a totally unknown number created because no one is actually reviewing this stuff, how could they

also broken: the function to reset the network adapter settings. on microsoft's own machine which i seriously regret purchasing

@jargoggles whoops! *unplugs* dodged a bullet there, that was one of the dangerous ones

@freya@social.highenergymagic.net we need girls who are datacenters and datacenters who are girls

@freya@social.highenergymagic.net nothing artificial about it, just girls

goose was not valued by WHOM

@freya@social.highenergymagic.net yesss

@secretsloth no they do not

@antlersoft i think we're on to them

@burnoutqueen haha indeed

hello bandcamp friday! i am a trans artist who makes electronic music under the name "anatanana" and this is my latest. it's very much a continuation of the sound of my recent releases but maybe a bit more shoegazey and witchy, whatever that means very end-of-summer vibes though, so please have a listen while it is still seasonally appropriate and thank you for supporting independent artists, you rock 💙 🎶 https://anatanana.bandcamp.com/album/s-i-l-v-e-r-r-i-v-e-r #bandcampFriday

i'm good at finishing large tasks if i can work on them a little bit at a time. say 1/128th of a task, that's a good amount

hi bandcamp friday! i have remixed and remastered the anatanana album "tanagrams" for you today. even though i only put it out a year and a half ago i've learned a lot since then and i think it sounds a lot closer to the music in my head this time around as always, thanks for listening 🎶 https://anatanana.bandcamp.com/album/tanagrams #bandcampFriday

if someone comes over unexpectedly my first instinct is to hide under the bed with the cat

i have this open in a tab and i keep coming back to poke around some more and always find something thoughtful and interesting. even more than this though, i love the idea of creating a bespoke website as an artistic representation of who you are from @jordantyranny.bsky.social https://jtierney.net/

actual thunder and heavy rain in july might be normal where you are but i can't remember the last time it happened here
