Naturally, the worst people on that thread are praising it - for example, here's the "DHH destroying Basecamp is based" guy whining about people not accepting outright fascists:

The fact that a mod named "catastrophe" did this is morbidly funny to me.
Anyways, whatever doubts I (or anyone had) about Framework are basically gone. I hope Nirav and the Framework team enjoy their Nazi bar.
MNT Reform's doing a similar thing to Framework, but its nowhere near what they offered. The team is completely free of venture capital, and its got a non-binary head representing it, so it should be safe from a fashtech turn.
Its quite the turn-around from when they fearmongered about Superintelligence^tm^ a year ago.
My only critique with their anti-slop piece is that they describe the lying machine as a tool, but otherwise its a fine enough takedown, and its clear they know enough to avoid AI like the plague. B+.
Charities Using AI-Generated Photos of Starving Children to Raise Money
Morally, attacking the poor and downtrodden through polluting the world with AI is abhorrent, and anyone doing this should be permanently barred from working at any charity.
Practically, the sight of blatant AI-generated poverty porn is going to drive people away from giving to these charities, damaging their ability to do good.

This is something the writers of the Mass Effect series got right, and they were doing a sci-fi trilogy, not handling a literal space mission!
Adding insult to injury, OpenAI's also encouraging people to abuse ARIA tags so their slopbots can steal more effectively, threatening to damage web accessibility in the process:

though, to be fair, that explanation is more plausible than starcloud working
Batman's superpower is being a billionaire, there was probably some Shenanigans^tm^ involved
I never understood what this damn distro is about.
Omarchy's not a distro, its an open endorsement of fascism. Its getting pushed as hard as it is in an attempt to entrench fascists in Linux and the FOSS ecosystem at large.
For something lighter, here's an AI bro getting wowed by the shittiest "video game" I've ever seen (trust me, the screenshot doesn't do it justice):
In lieu of sneering this shit, I'd like to argue that arts education should become mandatory for all students post-bubble, regardless of their profession. STEM, humanities, tech, doesn't matter - give them four years of art so they don't turn out like this guy.
