  • Polls be damned, Labour have tripled down on Starmerism

    Jump

  • More specifically, neoliberalism has always been cruel, violent, and authoritarian since the beginning. Margaret Thatcher was not exactly a person who believed in peace, love, and togetherness.

  • Holocaust museum LA retracts their recent statement saying "Never again can't only mean never again for Jews" to support the Israeli Holocaust of Palestinians

    Jump

  • Oh the printers messed this up, it’s supposed to say “Never? Again!”

  • I truly believe old style colonialism will return

    Jump

  • Yeah, decades of “starve the beast” neoliberalism has degraded the state capacity of western nations so thoroughly that having the kind of bureaucracy required to maintain a colonial empire is completely unthinkable.

  • Get an E-Bike

    Jump

  • I suspect it makes a massive difference depending on how many carriages/cars are in the train too.

  • Get an E-Bike

    Jump

  • “Miles per square metre” fucking hell. Even when Americans try to do metric instead of football fields per Big Mac or whatever they normally do they still manage to fuck it up.

  • Get an E-Bike

    Jump

  • Is the train electric or diesel? Are the buses electric? If so are they battery electric or are they trolley buses powered by overhead wires? Is this in a place powered by fossil fuels or hydro/solar/wind? What about trams? Or ferries? Or someone who tends their own garden and walks?

    How dare this advertisement masquerading as information mislead us so!

  • AI is destroying education

    Jump

  • Sometimes struggling with shit you hate is an important step to learning something that matters. I hated the Shakespeare plays I was forced to read and write about for the first couple of years they made us do it at school. But in the third year of this it all suddenly clicked. Had AI existed back then, I might have never come to appreciate Shakespeare.

    Also, I didn’t know what the fuck I was interested in or good at as a teenager. Primary and secondary education needs to be broad and well-rounded.

  • An activist has started using AI to identify ICE agents beneath their masks

    Jump

  • It won’t prove anything that hasn’t already been proved a thousand times over. The person writing the AI that eventually falsely accuses someone wealthy and important will get sued for bajillions and quietly settle out of court. No precedents or anything like that will be set, the whole story will be squashed because it’s easy to make it sound vague and esoteric and overly technical. Sex-chat bots targeted at kids by Meta/Facebook hasn’t caused the AI bubble to burst, so sure as shit this won’t either. The US government and its corporations will continue to burn the planet to power the shitty chat bots because so many trillions have been invested already that suddenly stopping now will cause another global economic crisis.

  • The nicest bourgeoisie

    Jump

  • American CEO, easily the worst of all.

  • Foundation is some of the best Sci-fi I've ever seen on TV

    Jump

  • It absolutely could be interesting TV, but under the capitalist organisation of the creative industries, certain ideas become structurally unimaginable.

    Think about pitching a story where a Marxist mass is the hero to the average American television executive/sex-pest. You’d be thrown out of the room. That executive doesn’t give a shit about making “interesting” television.

  • It Costs $70 To Buy Hitman On iOS (with $65 of dlc on top!)

    Jump

  • It’s worth noting that the Apple tax on iOS is exactly the same as the Valve tax on Steam: 30%

    It’s a hell of a fee for processing a credit card payment plus a bit of file storage. No wonder neither company feels the need to actually make their own games.

  • FYI Mods, this was a reference to a famous polish comedy film

    Jump

  • Pardon my exaggeration. Creating a thread because your out of context joke was received poorly seemed worth making a joke about. It looks like my joke was received somewhat poorly too, so we can commiserate together.

  • FYI Mods, this was a reference to a famous polish comedy film

    Jump

  • FYI Mods, Blazing Saddles is a famous American comedy film. This means I can post the word, right?

  • Toxic people having thoughts on hobbies

    Jump

  • I’m sure whatever point being made here is very clever, but my vision is way too poor to make sense of all of those paragraphs haphazardly crammed into that jpeg file.

  • 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds

    Jump

  • I think the summer semester is always a slow period for ChatGPT. It’ll pick up again in September when students start getting new assignments to cheat on.

  • Okay, this one mildly irks me

    Jump

  • That’s the most surprising thing: their app icon style redesign doesn’t use a generic sans serif font/typeface/etc. Maybe the fashion wheel has finally started turning and we’re entering a cycle where serifs are ok again.

  • Sony makes the """""difficult decision""""" to raise PlayStation 5 prices in the US

    Jump

  • It’s just in the US and it’s obviously because of tariffs. But nobody can say that aloud in public otherwise it will make Trump feel upset, and we can’t be having that, apparently. He can hear you. He can hear all of you. And it’s making him upset.

  • They might appreciate hearing from someone who likes their work.

  • Meta’s flirty AI chatbot invited a retiree to New York. He never made it home.

    Jump

  • Not only that but there is a broad lack of understanding and empathy towards the elderly and people of all ages suffering from mental decline. It’s ableism, to put it plainly.
