Starting to think that we shouldn't allow the worst people in the world to have a hand in shaping technology

my dude gotta be profoundly rethinking his answer to the "would you rather fight one horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horses?" hypothetical rn

omg the U.S. is going to get freemium ad-supported healthcare before it gets taxpayer-funded universal healthcare

Alito is basically daring Democrats to reform the Court. And yet!

Ben Jennings @BJennings90 on the latest revelations from the #EpsteinFiles #Guardian – political cartoon gallery in London original-political-cartoon.com

Jeffrey Epstein: "I have met some very bad people. None as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body."

Translated from a German thread: "One gets the impression that in the US they shoot people to distract from the Epstein files, then decide to release the Epstein files instead to distract from the murders, then arrest the reporter to distract from the Epstein files again, and if that doesn't work, the president just shits himself on camera."

America 2026!

Let's build a technology so powerful it can end civilization, but don't worry, we'll run it in a sandbox we vibe coded so it can't read your email.

The right approach would be: "People who want AI extras in Firefox will get easy access to turn it on"

Sadly, this is NOT satire.

Since she's involved, it's more likely to be Putin who's doing the rigging for him.

Dear media, stop acting like Trump means what he says Whether over "a deal" on Greenland or a "pivot" on ICE, we need far more skepticism

"The news media doesn’t seem to know how to bring anything other than wide-eyed credulity to [Trump's] utterances, even after all the lies and deceit of the past decade," writes @sulliview.bsky.social.

Outlets must start making Trump's lying as much a part of the story as the things he lies about.

Discovery would be fun if it was anything more than the usual threat.
Trevor should counter-sue for double whatever t-rump asks for since 🍊 tried to defame him as well.

There's the Epstein list.

But I also want the crisis comms agencies and boutique law firms helping these invertebrates weasel out of culpability list.

The Scam Ad Machine Nearly one in three Meta ads found to point to a scam, phishing or malware

Dear f***ing lord!

Nearly one every three Meta ads showed in the EU and UK over 23 days pointed to online scams

Great, EU can now use the turnover of the newly merged SpaceX and Xai when deciding on the size of the fine and who to arrest 😎

Exclusive: Despite new curbs, Elon Musk’s Grok at times produces sexualized images - even when told subjects didn’t consent Elon Musk’s flagship artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, continues to generate sexualized images of people even when users explicitly warn that the subjects do not consent, Reuters has found.

New: Together with colleagues I’ve been testing Grok.

The chatbot still produces sexualized images —

even when told the subjects don’t consent.

even when told the photos will be used for public humiliation.

even when told the subjects are survivors of abuse.

Is the administration’s bit that they encourage right-wing influencers to find “fraud” in blue states; influencers “investigate” and publish propaganda claiming said widespread fraud was responsibility of immigrants; and then gov’t sends in ICE to terrorize people because of it?

I've always been sceptical (and frankly, a bit annoyed) when people compare the democratic erosion under Trump to that under Orbán.

What happened in Hungary is not comparable to what is currently happening in the United States, just in terms of the (unprecedented) speed and scale in the latter.

Trump with right hand raised as he pledges oath to “Protect and defend myself from the Constitution of the United States.”

Iran’s internet shutdown signals a new stage of digital isolation The widespread blackout in response to protests reflects the Iranian regime’s dangerous embrace of digital isolation as a long-term strategy of repression.

AOC: Why haven’t so many people been prosecuted? Why are Pam Bondi and the DOJ continuing to hide the majority of the Epstein files, which they admit contain even more direct evidence of genuinely shocking crimes and abuse of women, minors, and increasingly men…

Her job is to fabricate 2020 foreign election interference to justify trump seizing voting machines in upcoming elections, and justify the nationalization of elections so he can control them.
