An AI hallucination of outdated info just murdered 175 little schoolgirls

*Nero Wolfe dinner

@helenzaltzman.bsky.social cooked a Rex Stout dinner for a friend’s birthday. So much heavy cream

I’m a Xennial too! The doubly invisible microgeneration

Ah that’s so lovely ❤️

Except, this isn't a boycott. This is a mass transfer from one war loving brand to another war loving brand, enacted by a pro-AI faction of centrist effective altruists.

That’s pretty cool

I might resume drinking for 24 hours

“Growing up near corn” not a disqualification from serious opinion, but neither is it a qualification

I ain't reposting Jesse Singal onto the TL but it is truly hilarious to see that little shitbird try and do a "I'm just a simple country transphobe" act by bemoaning how many people with "fancy letters and titles after their names" (IE doctors and lawyers and scientists) who disagree with him

just listened to a very interesting emergency episode of the rest is politics, which was particularly insightful about using fake evidence to launch an illegal war

You’ve disabled quote posts, now I can’t explain your jokes to Americans

Labour MP's husband arrested on suspicion of spying for China

Joani Reid who suggested Corbyn was a Russian asset despite zero evidence? Her husband? Ah fuck, she's gonna be LIVID.

Hegseth talking about war like a fragile, but pathetic 12-year boy with no self-esteem.

Some shitty 80s metal band

Some shitty 80s metal band

Some shitty 80s metal band

Like the dreadful lyrics of a non-charting single by a ridiculous, 1980s z-list metal band whose audience consists solely of 12 years boys who will later twist their cringing impotence and insurmountable ineffectuality into a hatred for women, foreigners, and people who are smarter than them.

It’s the “we need a podcast” “why tho?” du jour

One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.

he grew up in a suburb outside of philadelphia and as soon as he graduated from high school he joined a special forces unit in an occupying apartheid colony where he led numerous military campaigns to kill people in lebanon and occupied palestine. his adult life is defined by seeking out conflicts.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

If you want a fun thing in the midst of all this, here’s a s** positive song with a singing robot youtu.be/IkiwfMsGxl8

Has the world changed or have I changed?

Have fun typing "the government should regulate corporate platforms, not punish users" ten million times in this designed-to-catch-you-out "consultation" that they will not listen to, but do it anyway because they need to get the message.

everything theyre saying now they said during iraq

Wonder if the “Campus left” or Thomas Friedman was more correct about the outcomes of the Iraq or Afghan wars? 🤔

Perhaps we should base who we listen to on their previous track record.

I know many of you already know this because it’s obvious but you can absolutely take a survey of an opinion desk’s output over time and pretty accurately surmise the views—or at least the intentions—of the people who are in charge of deciding what gets published. I thought we were all adults here

People are betting on wars rn

Not sure what the extreme left wing takes would be but would love to see a good “This Silicon Valley Guillotine Startup Is Making Big Inroads In DC” NYT Op Ed

My illiterate pov is that if you’re running fash pieces you’re evil, know exactly what you’re doing, and if you’re not running equally extreme left wing takes you’re just apology for power.
