her very existence was an indisputable reminder of how many things framed as inevitabilities were actually just someone’s choice. there actually is enough money for everything. the wealthy could fully fund literacy and public health and the arts and child welfare. they just won’t
By almost any measure Dolly embodied "the American Dream." Some people will come from nothing and make it big and consider the problem now solved. Others will remember that there are still others with nothing and use what they have to help.

I've come to the conclusion that "LLMs can sometimes be good at certain technical tasks" does not outweigh "LLMs are an existential risk to our humanity on myriad levels."

this new PR pivot of "we're using AI but only for technical things you dont understand" is really funny. why if in the areas i do understand it makes everything worse would i assume it improves anything in the areas that i don't understand

I’m not a business genius or anything but if you shed 1800 jobs in three years, while owning one of the most popular entertainment products in history and the tool used to make it, maybe there are other questions to be asked somewhere.
Epic said in a blog post Tuesday morning that due to a downturn in Fortnite, the company is "spending significantly more than we're making, and we have to make major cuts to keep the company funded."
This is the second major layoff at Epic since 2023, when it cut 830 employees.

I'm sorry but if you have 4,000 employees and your revenue is 6 billion, you make 1.5 million per employee and if you can't make a profit margin there, you are simply embezzling it.

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame.
TL:DR, they sped up slop.

jokes on us: writing and art are both easily automated because the average consumer has a much less sophisticated vocabulary than creators do and they can’t tell when something isn’t good. haha
the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people.
It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear
"Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks!
Let it Go!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

You do, actually, really, truthfully have to treat "websites with single-digit staff counts doing their best" with more respect and sympathy than multi-billion megacorps, if only because if they decide the grief isn't worth it then the extremely inclusive platform they built Goes Away
The OTHER camp has been blasting out weird alternate-universe fanfic wherein Itch is an evil cackling corpo with 100s of employees and 100s of millions to splash on lawyers. See: "platforms are not your friend" as thought-terminating cliche. These people are worse than useless!
