I mean I'm guessing they dogfooded it *extensively* just with a bunch of people who would never think of touching the gender toggle

they also cost $70/year

A screenshot of an app that says "Creating your dream AI girl..." above "Warming him up..."

there's a novelty "AI dating cafe" pop-up launching in NYC and I decided to try making a bot from the service, only to find it offers male and female options but doesn't personalize any of the flavor copy so all chatbots including the burly old dudes are "AI girls"

sean duffy freaking out when he learns the female crash test dummies don't produce large gametes

def something I could imagine dancing to at a sketchy vegas nightclub in the old post-CES bacchanals, it pains me to say

divorcing my husband because our child won't be genetically predisposed to drop out of school and found a startup

Text in a list reading: risk-taking, seasonal allergies.

I clicked on the site and started with "well, ok there are lots of services that do genetic analysis for major risk factors that's relatively common" and then i got to

I'm calling it now: netflix is going to add a brainrot overlay. You're going to be able to play a stranger-things-branded subway surfers knockoff on the bottom of your TV while watching the nteenth ryan murphy show

Meet CoreWeave, the AI industry’s ticking time bomb The debt-laden AI compute company has been boosted by Nvidia.

Most folks know I've been banging the drum about the AI bubble for awhile, and this brilliant piece from @lopatto.bsky.social dramatically reinforces that hypothesis and is as meticulously researched as it is brutal:

these accompanying pics are shodan slander smh. LLMs could never hope to challenge a perfect immortal machine

the serious answer to "tech tree" is books that periodically dip into other languages but I now have a horrible temptation to try making a book you have to unlock a bespoke set of branching skills to read

A command telling ChatGPT to "make it steampunk", followed by a carhartt nylon-shell hoodie that now has a leather texture and is inexplicably covered in gears

i revised it to fit the brand aesthetic

I didn't tweak it quite as much as the temu carhartt people but GPT-5 can def get something close to it

A Salon article covered entirely with pictures of coats from ads for the knockoff carhartt company

help me

honestly I say this as a woman who sympathizes with a lot of the dumb impossible pressures men face, it just feels like the only sustainable solution is to remove the dumb impossible pressures not contrive increasingly convoluted solutions for propping them up

somebody finally wrote the perfect distillation of how "masculinity but make it centrist liberal" guys insist men cannot be fulfilled unless they get something a *little* extra special over women, as a treat

i was wrong it's a sweatshirt, but... i assume you can still buy it www.reddit.com/r/knitting/c...

Good @laurenfeiner.bsky.social story about the state of CISA that highlights potentially corrosive fears among the agency's critical infrastructure partners about the Trump administration's cuts and politicization: www.theverge.com/policy/81688...

glad to see temu carhartt survived the apocalypse

A sad vaguely leather-colored button-down jacket with a floppy and cheap-looking fleece collar and a carhartt patch

Apparently this is what the right-hand jacket looks like IRL, which after the "ornate knitted sweater design flat printed on a t-shirt" brand I saw a while back is actually better than I expected www.reddit.com/r/Carhartt/c...

An ad for a brand called Cotosen selling what are obviously ai-generated jackets that appear to be distressed leather, one in a drapey double-breasted women's style

my fave new AI slop aesthetic is "steampunk airship captainess jacket clumsily photoshopped with the carhartt logo"

the fifth wave of feminism is exploiting the choices other women fought to give you to throw them under the bus

right, there are a bunch of situations in which an LLM not having access to real-time... time... doesn't matter, an all-purpose virtual assistant is just arguably the one where it matters most *and* the most people will take it for granted

I feel like it cannot possibly be hard to add a non-LLM "here is what time it is" script the model can easily refer back to but I would love it if there's some insane reason it would totally break chatgpt

innovation of a century the computer that cannot do math

It's less egregious but also funnier when it asks if I want to do something ("would you like me to count down the seconds in real time?") and then when I say yes is like "lol well I can't do it, sike"

how much time has passed on the timer? You said: how much time has passed on the timer?

it's absolutely killing me that chatgpt apparently(?) cannot count down a timer that it sets or remember when it started (it's a 1-hour timer that *goes off* at 12:40 and these queries were 3 minutes apart). please someone tell me there's a way to make this damn computer tell time
