Jason Koebler (404 Media) "We’re not burying our heads in the sand. We use AI tools every day to understand how they work, their limitations, and, most importantly, how they are being leveraged to become the dominant type of content on the internet. Because we do this, we have some of the leading coverage of generative AI on the internet. AI isn’t going away, and I could imagine using it in the future if it becomes more trustworthy and perhaps if the companies pushing it find more ethical business models. I have experimented with using AI to write complex Freedom of Information Act requests and FOIA appeals and to parse large documents, though I haven’t been impressed with the results. I passively use forms of AI to help transcribe interviews, get the gist of YouTube videos in foreign languages, and edit short-form videos and podcasts. Language translation and transcription feel like true game changers, while other AI tools feel like spam machines. I’ll use AI to help find new information, but not to write my words."

You’re pushing on an open door. I am not the person you need to convince that ways of living, other than what white suburbanites in the US know about, are possible and even exist today
I just don’t believe that writing narratives with the overarching purpose of prefiguring some desired political or economic end state makes for good art. That’s just reverse Ayn Rand.

What I described in the message above is just modern day Kenya. With its own share of problems, but a lot of _good_ things we don't notice.
I started looking into Solarpunk because I needed to have a new language for describing the reality around me that people wouldn't notice, wouldn't listen to normally!

Police arrested over 50 peaceful protesters. Several people were injured during a violent and disproportionate crackdown. Journalists were also detained for filming from elevated spots to document the police brutality.

red. media is closing, this is why…
For months, a coordinated campaign has been waged against red.media — led by an unholy alliance of German media outlets, journalists, union representatives, and NGOs, some of which were even founded or directly funded by the German and Israeli states.
Amid escalating repression and direct threats to the safety of our team — including threats to their lives — red.media, a project of Istanbul-based AFA Medya A.Ş., can no longer continue operating.

in reply to Frankie ✅ • • •The image is a meme with two photographs of playgrounds and a caption. The top photograph shows a wooden play structure with multiple levels, towers, and a slide, resembling a "Dungeon Crawl" theme. The structure is detailed with various play elements like rope bridges and climbing areas. The ground is covered with wood chips, and the sky is clear with a few clouds.
The bottom photograph depicts a simpler, more modern playground with metal equipment, including a horizontal bar and a platform. The design is minimalistic, lacking the intricate details of the top structure. The ground is also covered with wood chips, and the background shows trees and a clear sky.
The caption reads, "The downfall of the Dungeon Crawl is tragic." This text suggests a nostalgic sentiment about the more elaborate and imaginative play structures of the past.
