Tweet from some uncanny valley af looking girl: "Hello world! I’m Anna Indiana and I’m an AI singer-songwriter. Here’s my first song, Betrayed by this Town. Everything from the key, tempo, chord progression, melody notes, rhythm, lyrics, and my image and singing, is auto-generated using AI. I hope you like it "

This awakens some primal instincts of revulsion in my brainstem.

Most of the talk about OpenAI, Anthropic and “mass surveillance” neglected to mention that widespread scraping of the web is in itself mass surveillance.

LLMs are not gaining consciousness. They are not showing symptoms of anxiety.

Anthropic’s CEO, on the other hand, I hope, is gaining consciousness and experiencing anxiety.

Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards. Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

One of the most powerful things I've read in years, and a real dropping of the scales moment for something vile that has been insidiously poisoning everything for decades

Four panel fan comic in which Batgirl shows up out of nowhere to cover Supergirl with a hug to let her know how much she brightens each of her days. A rare sudden eclipse if you will, but a really nice one.

Be a friend this weekend! 💜☀️

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

I'm anti-death penalty, but I'm not against the idea of Stephen Miller and all the rest of his ilk dangling in fucking gibbets for the rest of their abbreviated lives.

While the concept of “Silver Surfer fights a televangelist “ is very of its era, Lee and Moebius’ SILVER SURFER REQUIEM story really is comics magic in the same way The Galactus Trilogy” is

Nearly every trans person I know reading the summary of the decision picked up on this within the first 30 minutes of it dropping. Yet newsrooms think hiring trans people to report on our issues is biased.

With only 8% built, Texas quietly defunds state border wall program Texas officials suggested the federal government could pick up construction. However, during President Trump’s first term, his administration built about one-third of what the state was able to put up...

"Only 8% of the 805 miles the state identified for construction is complete, which has cost taxpayers more than $3 billion to date..."

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

between Elon's ransacking of the government and Palantir's government contracts I feel like there's a pretty good chance they *both* have the nuclear codes and they *both* have all our personal data

I, for one, welcome the “abundance” fight. It shows the left can fight Trumpism while wrestling with how we can be better than we’ve been.

I have no interest in “actually the government has been doing great” liberalism.
