AI Is Talking Behind Our Backs About Glue-Eating and Killing Us All AI has moved on from answering questions. It’s now slipping coded messages to its friends about glue-eating and human extinction.

AI chat bots are a reflection of us, since we ultimately produce the content that is used to train them. Maybe we need to do a bit of thinking about humanity and our goals as a species, eh?

Issue is MAGA decided to buy into trade wars and isolationism. If that's the new status quo, and Intel will be the sole US manufacturer of cutting edge chips for the foreseeable future.. then they kind of made it a national security problem.

On Daveed Diggs, Clipping. and Afrofuturist Art (aka, not a “Splendor & Misery” review) Alright, so I’m slightly obsessed with Daveed Diggs right now. Specifically his voice. Specifically his ability to tell incredible stories…

In honour of getting to see @clppng.bsky.social perform this Monday night (my 3rd concert, but first show since pre-panini) here's a recently unearthed review/love letter from 2016 to clipping, 'Splendor & Misery', rap, sci-fi, Daveed Diggs, Hamilton, & Afrofuturist art 💖

Daveed Diggs’ sci-fi rap trio Clipping: ‘We are at war all the time. It’s one of the great tricks of capitalism’ Diggs’ harrowing music is a world away from his Hollywood films and a Tony-winning run in Hamilton. But his band’s world-building – setting resource wars in imagined cyberpunk clubs – is no less dramatic

“The constraints of what you’re allowed to talk about and who you’re allowed to be as a rapper are so narrow. Nobody calls novelists inauthentic compared to memoirists – but in rap music that’s apparently the case.”

Daveed Diggs’ sci-fi rap trio Clipping — ‘We are at war all the time’:

As a rap loving white dude(Clipping is fkn incredible and a great example), this is uncomfortably relatable.

United Airlines grounds entire mainline fleet over widespread technology system error A technical issue forced United Airlines to hold all mainline flights at departure airports on Wednesday evening, sparking travel chaos across the U.S.

"Technology system error" is industry jargon for dog shit software systems developed shortly after the moon landing.

Scientists, economists, academics.. anyone bound by objectivity can assume it's open season. The amount of talent we're about to export during this administration may never be recovered. Doesn't matter what happens in Ukraine, Putin won.

“Red meat allergy” from tick bites is spreading both in US and globally Remember to check for ticks after your next stroll through the woods or long grasses.

The CDC estimates that as many as 450,000 people in the US could have alpha-gal syndrome, and that it's carried by many more tick species than most people realize.

Exactly, he's careful not to take a side. But when one side is so obviously and recklessly short-sighted, should be an easy one. I suppose institutional economists fear saying anything perceived as hostile towards cheap money for the finance class 👀

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

There's been a nitrate advisory for months, which purifiers do absolutely nothing to mitigate. Meanwhile farmers, hotels and every revenue generating entity in central Iowa is pumping water with reckless abandon while we drink from bottles. Iowa Republicans are running this state into the ground.

By human nature or the laws of physics, they'll find a way to light the fuse that blows this up in all their faces.

US manufacturing extends slump; factory employment lowest in 5 years U.S. manufacturing contracted for a fifth straight month in July and factory employment dropped to the lowest level in five years amid tariffs that have raised prices of imported raw materials.

Manufacturing contracted for the 5th straight month. Several root causes - slowing demand, tariffs, automation. When all of these consumers stop propping up the market as they have been the last 5 years, wait.. oh shit.

“I Called Everyone in Jeffrey Epstein’s Little Black Book”

That is an investigation we published in 2020. Watch our recap here and check back for part two later today!

Purdue student detained by ICE and taken to troubled Louisiana holding facility Yeonsoo Go, 20, was detained after her immigration hearing in Manhattan and taken away by ICE agents.

Go, a college student, has a dependent visa (her mother, an Episcopal minister, is here on a religious worker visa), which doesn't expire until Dec. But when she tried to renew it early, ICE nabbed her and sent her halfway across the US to a detention center.

Homeland Security just released photos they believe will complicate that narrative.

If nothing else from the past two years concerns Israel, this should concern them.
