Skeet from Ann Leckie reading: "Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again."

This is one of the most-shared posts on Bluesky in the past day and it's just completely false. You might think ChatGPT is a *bad* search engine, or prefer another search engine. But it has had integrated web search since last year.

Apple - Support - System Status Status for all planned and unplanned events for Apple Services.

iCloud Private Relay seems to be down for me. Unsurprisingly there is no report of an outage on Apple's status page (www.apple.com/support/syst...) but is anyone else having connectivity issues on their Apple devices?

Tesla literally pays their grifters with stock pumps we saw during and after the earnings call today. Buy the dip, pump the stock, sell the stock, pretend like you’re a TSLA hodler.

New unrealistic promises every quarter for years, just to keep bleeding the stone.

I can’t wait to not buy a Tesla next year when the lease on my Model Y is up. When I originally signed it I couldn’t imagine ever getting another car/brand. Now I can’t imagine ever getting another Tesla.

I would definitely love to see Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader come to NSO, especially because then it might mean Rogue Squadron for N64 might finally show up!

What a great idea to drastically cut the workforce of public health departments during an ongoing bird flu outbreak.

To quote a very stable genius during a different outbreak: "If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any"

We're in good hands.. I mean tiny hands. Whoops.

Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin β€” "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.”

He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

I'm confused. How is America's golden age supposed to start without becoming the richest country through tariffs? Weren't these supposed to be really important and permanent?

BREAKING: Nasdaq-100 futures down 5.4%, S&P 500 futures down 3.84%

If this holds, this is the worst three day period in the market since 1987, worse than any three day Covid period.

Will the new Switch 2 cartridges have enough capacity to entirely store games like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077 or will these merely be hardware licenses that still require large downloads to play?

I want to keep buying physical games, but not if these AAA titles require a download.

There’s so much GOP cope happening today.

β€œAt least Wisconsin approved voter ID so libs can’t cheat”

Wisconsin has required voter ID since 2015.

You spent millions of dollars and got your ass kicked for a rule that already existed and that fundamentally changes nothing.

This was not a mistake - it was a message. Your "protected status" means nothing and they might kidnap you and send you to prison abroad with no way or desire to bring you back.

Just another step in their campaign to get immigrants to "self-deport."
