What the hell is going on

Elizabeth Sandifer@eruditorumpress.com

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

From the Telemundo broadcast just now by the commentary team during a slow-mo replay of the goal and a shot of Haaland with his hair down: "This is a perfect goal. The ball didn't touch anything." In exaggerated, gravely, dramatic voice: "TERMINATOR"

Republicans loved gerrymandering as long as their opponents were committed to fair maps. Now that Dems are responding in kind, conservatives aren’t having as much fun. But the only thing worse than constitutional hardball is unilateral constitutional hardball. (🎁) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Biopic sur Michael Jackson : le film sur le roi de la pop est une hagiographie ridicule d’un artiste dépeint en génie immature, expurgée de toutes les accusations de pédocriminalité. Lire : bit.ly/42gIVr8

Archives Building, Washington, John Russell Pope arch., 1934 My eyes go immediately to the angled timber props at the corner, tucked up in the armpit of that part of the cornice called the corona and sitting on the bed-moulding below, just above the fascia of the colonnades. Short 🧵:

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

My spinny table isn't big enough so this will have to do. I'm really happy with the fake CRT look for the most part. There's a lens geometry issue that shows at extreme angles but I think I know how to fix it. That'll be for the next build. 🙂

I GENUINELY cannot believe what the announcer is saying in sky sport 3 about everton. He says the team had more 'edge' under dyche, has the same set up, and goodison is unusually quiet. EACH thing is the opposite of the truth. There's no way this man has watched more than 2 everton games this year

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

TheDesk.net@thedesk.net

The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."

Alright, I'm going to get into good trouble for this! For each like and repost I get on this I'll donate $1 dollar to the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social. I'll keep counting until Monday. @frankcifaldi.bsky.social & @philsalv.bsky.social wish me luck! Hopefully the org gets some decent money from this.
