Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

NVIDIA and OpenAi:

Concerns that their “increasingly complex and interconnected web of business transactions is artificially propping up the trillion-dollar AI boom.“

Scoop: Gov. Janet Mills poised to jump into Maine Senate race Gov. Janey Mills' entry into the race would set off another complicated Democratic primary.

Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source—in the Worst Way Possible As developers increasingly lean on AI-generated code to build out their software—as they have with open source in the past—they risk introducing critical security failures along the way.

NEW: AI is a great way to introduce security vulnerabilities into your systems and give engineers fun problems to solve like figuring out what broke and why! This is from @lhn.bsky.social

Don’t call my name don’t call my name Alessio

god Wolf Blitzer would be such a good name for a specialized defensive formation

I literally wrote earlier today that ICE and CBP are "a portrait of an authoritarian secret police that seems set to model itself on history’s worst fascist enforcers." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...

Case in point here:

“.. His conclusion is very stark: not just that an economy already at stall speed will fall into recession as both the data-center and wealth effects plateau, but that they’ll reverse, just as in the dot-com bubble did ..”

Y'all my AIM away messages would have been absolutely insufferable if I'd had Conan Gray's WISHBONE at my disposal.

Hollywood’s Most Terrifying Nightmare Has Arrived Generative video tools are ready to flood the market with robot actors and content—leaving studios and actors scrambling to catch up.

wrote about the celebrities raging against the A.I. "actress" Tilly Norwood, OpenAI's attempt to stiff copyright protections through the launch of its new Sora video generator, and why these two moments in conjunction present a make-or-break moment for Hollywood's humans: slate.com/technology/2...

let the gourd times roll

Wait till they start generating videos of mass shooters in cctv style with them wearing political shirts and pushing it within minutes of a mass shooting on Twitter. This is absolutely corrosive to any sort of trust in society.

Bill Burr Defends Performing at Controversial Riyadh Comedy Festival: “They’re Just Like Us” The actor-comedian details his experience at the event: "Definitely one of the top three experiences I've ever had ... I think it's going to lead to a lot of positive things."

The Saudis didn’t pay big money for famous American comedians because they were super eager for comedy, they paid for PR like this.

Why don't we ban white men from buying guns until this epidemic of terrorism has ended?

"If you want to leave the room, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future."

JFC.

This man will end up in The Hague

Of the general and flag officers hearing Hegseth declare that rules of engagement are stupid and the keys to military success are war crimes and shaving, what percentage are appalled v. into it?

I'm guessing negative outweighs positive by a lot. But there's likely a minority that's thrilled.

The reason we have rules of engagement isn’t to keep warfighters from killing our enemies.

It’s to keep them from killing a farmer with a shovel bc they thought it was a rifle and didn’t bother to wait to check.

Or a family in a car bc the driver looked nervous.

Or a boat full of fishermen.

“war is very strange, you never know what’s going to happen with war” - President Trump literally just said this to the assembled generals

Trump, speaking to military leaders, on Democrats: "They're bad. A lot of bad people."

all the clips I've seen of Hegseth and Trump have been instructive because they leave 'hold for applause' moments in their remarks that are filled by silence, like watching a standup comic dropping bricks on stage

They're going to have to say the Michigan LDS shooter once had a trans waiter to distract from the obvious

MICHIGAN: “Multiple people shot at a Mormon church 50 miles north of Detroit… church on fire…” apnews.com/article/morm...

Troops. In an American city. Using full force.

Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

the "abolish ICE" people were right

I think the admin is overestimating the bloodlust of normie America to see protesters on sidewalks mowed down by gov bullets. The WH has full poaster’s madness and their brains are so baked on edgelord provocations they’ve totally detached from society at large, performing for a shrinking minority.

Mockler: I'm pretty tired of conservatives gaslighting about the current political environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric when all of this escalation can be traced back to his entrance into American politics.
