It's funny that JD Vance keeps bragging to people how Catholic he is and *multiple* popes keep telling him to shut the fuck up and fuck off

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

tragic: my dad saw this and is now making jokes about "extra D"

(my dad has the perfectly good reason of "boosting his normal combo supplement with extra D in the winter instead of buying a whole new supplement")

Levi discovered my dad takes two separate vitamin D supplements and immediately started some 4-year-old mockery, our strongest warrior against polypharmacy

Months before Jesse Van Rootselaar became the suspect in the mass shooting that devastated a rural town in British Columbia, Canada, OpenAI considered alerting law enforcement about her interactions with its ChatGPT chatbot, the company said. While using ChatGPT last June, Van Rootselaar described scenarios involving gun violence over the course of several days, according to people familiar with the matter. Her posts, flagged by an automated review system, alarmed employees at OpenAI. Internally, about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on Van Rootselaar’s posts. Some employees interpreted Van Rootselaar’s writings as an indication of potential real-world violence, and urged leaders to alert Canadian law enforcement about her behavior, the people familiar with the matter said. OpenAI leaders ultimately decided not to contact authorities. A spokeswoman for OpenAI said the company banned Van Rootselaar’s account but determined that her activity didn’t meet the criteria for reporting to law enforcement, which would have required that it constituted a credible and imminent risk of serious physical harm to others.

Unforgivable.

Raises huge questions about AI regulation in Canada. In what ways are AI companies monitoring conversations and what does this mean for privacy? In what cases are they obligated to contact law enforcement? Was the shooter underage at the time and should minors have unfettered access to chatbots? Etc

Absolutely wild. WSJ reporting that some OpenAI staffers thought the Tumbler Ridge shooter's use of ChatGPT raised the potential of real world violence but leadership decided not to alert RCMP. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"

No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

meanwhile Zatidor is prescription only, make that make sense

I love how Canada's solution to "pseudoephedrine keeps you awake" is just to add chlorpheniramine AND dextromethorphan to the nighttime cold products

If it wasn't for that legal dept, Kia Sorento would be a killer Star Wars name.

me getting stressed about the sheer volume of insects in the celestial kingdom and how do they resurrect you AND the mushrooms that decomposed you

i feel like we really should have been prepared for chatgpt considering how often "get emotionally invested in a magical talking object that then prompts you to do evil" comes up in fiction and shit

on the other hand this adorable little goth teenager in front of us with multicolored hair turned to her friend and said "I love Anne of Green Gables, man" and it was adorable

(a scene that doesn't even occur!!)

one song about ice cream and THREE songs about school yet ZERO songs where Gilbert rescues Anne from the river

somehow it's intermission and we have only gotten to the Sunday School picnic???

Having All Your Laundry Done voted one of the best feelings of all time for the 100th year in a row. unfortunately Actually Doing Laundry voted one of the worst, yet again

restaurant worker gave me a fork instead of chopsticks with my food but in fairness I AM wearing a button-up sweater polo so what was she supposed to assume

about an hour left and $15-20 minimum needed to get anything to eat tonight and the lack of food is starting to show up in my heart rate lol, so anything helps 💞

posts 2 and 3 in the threads are real direct quotes yeah

it's a little wordy for "literally just a single-stall restroom" but the "couldn't be bothered to spring for color printing on the office printer" vibes are immaculate

and it's not even in some sort of corporate rainbow it's just greyscale

so I sincerely do gotta hand it to them, the sign says "TRANSSEXUALS CAN PEE HERE JUST FINE" and the vibes are aggressively Not For Show

and then even smaller "*In this case, trans refers to people who identify as transgender, transsexual, two-spirit, non-binary, gender fluid, gender queer and/or gender diverse."

actually the sign says "this is an inclusive washroom" in big letters and then underneath "we trust and respect that everyone knows which washroom is the most appropriate for them. This is a trans* friendly space."
