OK, this is a twist in the NaNoWriMo controversy I didn't see coming: apparently the "criticizing AI is classist/ableist" line was a bridge too far *even for the 'AI' company*.

@dumpsterqueer you called for a bug? :mini_maple_morb:

For real, bugtesting online infrastructure sounds like a slog. I hope you figure it out!

Can you boost this please? I'm sort of load-testing / trying to reproduce a bug, and I think I need a bit more traffic to do so. Thank you!

@lyncia now thinking about being pet with a q-tip... :blobcatmeltlove:

@trysdyn I wonder what the geographic distribution of people who learned about it vs those who didn't is... Because it would've had a lot less ad competition on Twitch outside of the US, where ads are a LOT more anemic. Twitch can never find a full 3 minutes of ads for me during ad breaks lmao

@trysdyn I've seen some ad spots on Twitch but I kept mixing them and the CoD6 ads also airing for each other in how much I wanted to get away from both of them

@inherentlee@strangeobject.space Good!

@inherentlee@strangeobject.space Maybe they should have you on as a speaker for the AI security training instead of a participant :P

@Blair@wandering.shop oooooh, this has my attention 👀 The Cailleach is a character my sister and I have looked into quite a bit as a possible inclusion in Castle Titania so getting a perspective from a respected folklorist is super valuable :blobcatheart:

@nickthewright Wow, the breakdown of the events on there really make the AI shilling the icing on the cake

Considering the recent #nanowrimo fiasco, a friend who shall remain anonymous has built a website to collect links to regional monthly novel writing groups that operate independently.

If you want to try the challenge but don't want to support an organization that shills for its AI-powered sponsors under the guise of disability advocacy, add your info!

@godotengine Wasn't the plan to establish official export options under W4 Games?

At the end of the 19th century, economists were arguing that poverty was caused by there being too many people for the surrounding land to support. Evidence for this was that one saw almost no poverty in frontier towns, and plenty of poverty in large cities. Limited resources could only be stretched so thin.

Henry George, in his book "Progress and Poverty", called BS on this. Due to specialisation of labour, he argued each additional person meant there'd be *more* to go around, not less.
