Good YT short of a comedian roasting a white South African in the audience dude seems like a comrade

i fucking hate the spread of ai so much. i've noticed for a while now that in ddg wikipedia pages will now have an ai summary instead of just using the first sentence or two for their subheader when i have never heard of anyone having any problem with the old way. now search results from reddit will do the same thing. i think it's an unlabelled ddg thing because when i searched for the same thing on bing i didn't get the ai summary for the wiki page, though i did get the summary for the reddit page. the ai summary had a pretty big spoiler for the thing i was looking up too so i am glad i had finished it beforehand lol

cw cushposting ()

holy fuck i don't know if i watched the last cushvlog that came out literally days before matt's stroke at the time, but it is actually insanely veil piercing how relevant & prescient it is considering what happened. my lens for the world still very much defaults to thinking that sort of thing is coincidence, but jesus...

miss his insights and wisdom, but happy he seems to be recovering in his own way and carving out a new vision of happiness for himself. but could really use his analysis considering all the that's happened since...

Actually I love the "character has far more progressive mindset than most people at that time" trope. Its pretty relatable at least.

Hell, there were christian monks who were against crusades at like 1100, a minority sure, but they existed!

Fun fact about being a transracial adoptee: a regular part of my childhood was white adults coming up to my adoptive parents to ask them how much I cost them, in front of me

Can't stop thinking of Warforged Pete Buttigieg 🤖

I've forgotten a lot of things but that one character from that one D&D game sticks with me.

Oh, you were feeling sad and bad? Unfortunately for your doubts, Hopes and Dreams "Orchestrated" started playing. Better luck next time, sadness!

Someone give Richard Wolff a crash course on VTubers so he can parachute into the VShojo fallout, radicalize the talents, and get them to form a VTuber cooperative.

I'm half-joking—doubt any of the talents would want to join an organization after all that mess—but I would really like to see co-ops in the VTuber sphere. I'm also genuinely curious about how such an org would be structured, since there are two natural axes of inequality: differences in income/clout between streamers, and an imbalance of power/wealth between streamers and staff, both of which can be substantial. Would it be more suited to a dual-org system, where the staff forms a workers co-op and the streamers form a consumer co-op? I profess my ignorance about the nitty-gritty of cooperative operations, so if anyone has any insight I'd love to hear it.

Last week I hurt my ankle going to the tower, so this week im taking it easy and hanging out with the bees at the flower floor park. Watching this big native bee just taking flowers and rolling around on the ground with them. Tons of smaller honeybee and native bees around doing the same thing.

If you think about artificial intelligence enough, you’ll quickly realize how “artificial” just means stolen lmao how foolish of me to assume a journalist somewhere would bring this up though

Tech oligarchs literally just dumped all the data on the internet into their models for fucking free. Idk why I’m surprised, of course that shit was going to happen under capitalism

posting AI generated images on hexbear should be a bannable offense , even if they're very funny

It's amazing how well the neoliberal doctrine has been hammered into the average boomer brain. The government must cut public services. Why? Because they have to. We can't have public industry because of inefficiencies, corruption and unaccountability. Mf, private industry is entirely unaccountable, inefficient, and corrupt. Where will the government get the money for all this spending? THEY CONTROL THE FUCKING CURRENCY AND INTEREST RATE.

They watch the services they need get cut, and their own situation worsen, and can only think "well, this needs to happen".

None of them even know what neoliberalism is. Some of them think it means "woke".

I'm going to lose my mind.

so uh..."securely" attached "people," what's the deal w/ that???

I've spent the past 2 decades of my life trying to emulate the lifestyle of an Epic Gentlesir and I have yet to achieve my ultimate dream: Winning the internet for the day
