They're chatting with something that will yes-and everything they say or think, because it isn't something that can care about the truth -- it's something that was built to make money by stealing from other sources.

Something that's been rattling around in my brain for a while as I work my way through the Knowledge Fight archives:

Every time someone prompts a gen-AI chatbot, they're talking to their own personal Alex Jones.

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Ohhhhhhh, this form does not require a valid email address. Put whatever the fuck you want in that field and as long as it has a .com/org/edu/etc domain, it submits.

Also related, the Internet Archive has the pdf of the entire Bee Movie script.

Calvin's mom says "Life could be worse, Calvin" by a Liberal Party logo, Calvin says, "Life could be a lot better, too!" under an NDP logo, Calvin's dad says, "Life being worse builds character!" under a Conservative Party logo

The forever-correct way to translate Canadian parties to other countries without using their politics for reference

This is why you don't just repeat GOP talking points in your headlines 🙄

From Sting to Gabrielle Union-Wade, These Celebrity Parents Support Their Trans and Nonbinary Kids Amid anti-LGBTQ+ backlash, it’s more important than ever to use large platforms for good.

What a good list! 🥹~

We're getting pizza and I'm obsessed with this slightly broken mural that used to be about eating with your hands but now it reads like Saruman's manifesto

While I'm sad the NDP didn't do very well this election, I'm still glad the Conservatives didn't win.

I did my part to try and prevent Nazis from taking power here!

A snippet of said commentary.

This really kills every artist and small business that relies on small scale manufacturing in China. Goodbye all those cute indie enamel pins, plushes, custom apparel…SPX is gonna be sad this year

Elmer Fudd is in bed with a beautiful woman, but she's sad. She says she feels all alone in the world. Elmer says, "The treatment is simple. The great bunny Bugs is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." And the woman bursts into tears. Says, "But Elmer...I am Bugs Bunny."

I just so happen to be wearing my "severed is the head that wears the crown" tshirt today!

There is no better time to leave Adobe or buy a bunch of SSD's with an Adobe coupon (which is a lot of work).

It’s always “We launched these tardigrades into space!” “We froze them to absolute zero!” “We threw them into an erupting volcano!”

Never “We took these tardigrades on a holiday. They’re getting tiny massages and sipping little umbrella drinks on the beach.”

Made pear fritters! Had to cut some in half to re-fry, but they turned out pretty great!

I think that was one of the worst things I'll ever see in my life. tiredspacedragon replied: I still think that should be the thing for which he's the most famous. It should be brought up every time he's mentioned. In any news article, any interview, any history book. "Elon Musk, who was offered a chance to end world hunger and turned it down." Put it on his fucking gravestone.

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

Art.

Beautiful

I'd go a lil' further.

The main tech disruptions have been Netflix, Spotify, Uber and Deliveroo?

Now nobody can make shows, musicians can't live from royalties, taxi drivers are debt laden, restaurants have to jack their prices and ghost kitchens mean you don't know where your food came from.

For anyone else in this position, Please never underestimate the usefulness of annoying the shit out of govt officials, organizing meal trains, being the support person who stays home to be jail support during protests etc etc. I know Gwen knows. Lot of y'all still can learn to help.

This list (a set of breadcrumbs trying to lead you to the place where you disable the Copilot AI in Microsoft Word) is incredible in that each successive part is an even sweatier and more desperate obfuscation than the one that came before.

Pants the cat looking utterly shocked and confused

Pants is shocked, shocked I say, that you may not have hydrated, taken any meds you need, eaten something, and taken a moment to breathe. Look how concerned she is for you. You should do those things so she can relax.

Mosquito trap how. See https://www.audubonva.org/news/how-to-set-up-a-mosquito-larva-trap for details

Given that it’s 80F in mid March, I’m deploying the mosquito larvae traps today. It’s a pollinator safe way to drastically reduce your local mosquito population. We stopped even seeing larvae in the buckets after two months. Here’s my quick how-to.

As a proud alumnus of UT-Austin, I am compelled to add that this is yet another abomination from the Texas A&M agricultural lab.

My first reaction: Wow, I'm amazed these assholes can read at a high school level!

My serious reaction: you know what cops ~investigating~ library collections are, right?

They're fucking fascists.
