Rusland heeft geprobeerd om de stuwdam van de Oekraïense waterkrachtcentrale in Zaporizja met raketten te vernietigen.

The infrastructure of meaninglessness Listen, there are two realities that we should be aware of. AI exists to make your job obsolete because the alternative is that AI makes managers obsolete. Let me try to break down this theory, which...

“What's interesting about workslop is how it transfers cognitive burden because when someone uses AI to generate a polished-looking report or presentation, they're not really eliminating work. They're shifting it downstream to colleagues who must decode, interpret, & often completely redo the work”

What in the actual brain hemorrhage ...

Today, “President Putin” and his army murdered a 7-year-old boy in Zaporizhzhia, destroyed an agricultural facility in Kharkiv, created a blackout in Kyiv, and injured dozens of people.

But round and around and around we go.

Haha, awesome cat.

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Yeah, I know society collapsed and we're all fucked, but I'm happy your Git contribution chart wasn't affected that would have been the real disaster here.

AI hallucineert er altijd op los.

Using "somebody else would have done it" as an argument to rush and try to be first is an insane take.

Geen mens mag zoveel geld bezitten dat zijn willekeur de richting van een staat kan bepalen.

Right wing billionaires are buying up the entire information environment. And now they are buying video game and voting machine companies.

The other day a student asked me about the prevalence of insider trading in prediction markets. I now have an answer.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
