I love how AI's bubble is about to burst and Canada is like, "Let's pour all our money into AI and also make Evan Solomon in charge."

Her ... what? What on earth is "Wartime support" ??

HI SANDY

HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL

I know no real Zevon fan thinks Werewolves of London is his best song but it's such a testament to how good Scorsese is with music that he used it as the needledrop for the sequence in Color of Money where Tom Cruise basically became Tom Cruise

Grayscale comic panel: Triangle shaped character and Diamond shaped character are on a road loading to a church by a dark lake. Trees and tufts of grass are seen in the area. The rendering of this and the next 3 panels is reminiscent of strange, antiquated game graphics Triangle says: GO TO CHURCH.

Inside the church. There are alcoves on the walls containing unlit candles and an altar in the back, beneath a giant cross. Triangle and Diamond stand in the foreground. Triangle says: BENEDICTION TIME.

Rumble, rumble: the whole church interior has titled. Triangle and Diamond are surprised. Diamond says: CHURCH IS MOVING? In the upper left, a dropshadowed window labeled MOVEMENT PHASE has appeared. It depicts a grid reminiscent of the scene in the first panel. The church is sliding to the west, of its foundation and into the lake.

The titled church is now filled with dark water. Triangle and Diamond are up to their noses in water. Text like a status update of error message covers the top of the panel. It says WET!! WET!! WET!! WET!! WET!!

Screenshot of Tweets that say: "Once at my granny's house my uncle excitedly said a James Bond film was on the tv. My Da said "sure they're all the same, a load of lads shooting at one lad then a mountain blows up." My uncle got really mad at how reductive that was then became furious when the mountain blew up. My Da, of course, knew it was the one where the mountain blows up at the end. This was a foundational lesson which illustrated to me that walking the path of the hater means knowing more about something that people who profess to like it."

You watch guys like Elon Musk and Donald Trump and you're 100% certain these guys could not get a job. They are too stupid and lazy for any task. The only thing they can do in our system is...be in charge of it. And then you go hmm

It just dawned on me that one reason I find the generational chasm between Boomers and Millennials so enervating is that we're being lectured about our lack of Blitz Spirit by a generation who didn't live through it when this era is arguably more analogous to the Gilded Age and Great Depression.

we’re about to start seeing a lot of “here’s a cost effective meal your grandparents made during the great depression”

r/ExpectationVsReality u/Additional-Simple858 • 3d Join Al 'doctor' said my back pain is depression, not a slipped disc. Now physical therapy won't get approved. Al Expectation We are reviewing claim #& submitted on 09/28/2025. Our records indicate the claim was filed under diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while the corresponding prescription and referral history list treatment for lumbar disc herniation (back pain).

Re: Incorrect Diagnosis in Record Hi Thank you for reaching out. We have reviewed your visit documentation and can confirm that the notes in question were generated using our Al scribe system. It appears the Al tool assigned diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while your visit notes and treatment plan reference lumbar disc herniation (back pain). Per compliance policy, certain Al-generated fields cannot be manually updated by clinic staff and require vendor correction. We have escalated this to our vendor support team and opened ticket # . We'll notify you once we receive confirmation or correction from the vendor.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

boomers and gen Xers on facebook are using their real names to call for the murder of politicians and the abolition of government, to avenge murdered ostriches who they believe contained the key to safe cures to all illness, making them an existential threat to china new world order big pharma

The Apple News Catch-up now Carney government survives 2nd confidence vote. All ostriches shot dead...

One of the core tenets of techno-feudalism to me is that those with means are capable of living free of the tools they use to capture the labour of, and monopolise the time of those who have to use such tools to survive.

They are dimly aware something has happened and have decided it was Chinese mind control

“One thing that I try to make clear any time I talk about book bans is that it’s not about the books, it’s about deputizing bigots to do the ugly work of defunding all of our public institutions of learning,” Maggie Tokuda-Hall, a cofounder of Authors Against Book Bans, told me. “The current proliferation of AI that we see particularly in the library and education spaces would be possible at the speed and scale that is happening without the precedent of book bans leading into it. They are very comfortable bedfellows because once you have created a culture in which all expertise is denigrated and removed from the equation and considered nonessential, you create the circumstances in which AI can flourish.” Justin, a cohost of the podcast librarypunk, told me that the project of offloading cognitive capacity to AI continues apace: “Part of a fascist project to offload the work of thinking, especially the reflective kind of thinking that reading, study, and community engagement provide,” Justin said. “That kind of thinking cultivates empathy and challenges your assumptions. It's also something you have to practice. If we can offload that cognitive work, it's far too easy to become reflexive and hateful, while having a robot cheerleader telling you that you were right about everything all along.”

I talked to librarians, authors who have had their books banned, and groups that support them for this article. The glee with which schools, libraries, governments, and companies are replacing human workers and nuance with AI would not be possible w/o the successful war on schools and libraries

AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge "Fascism and AI, whether or not they have the same goals, they sure are working to accelerate one another."

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

I hope you know what is good for you and that you're having a Good Morning thanks to clear expectations!!!

it's less "AI drives people to kill themselves" and more that "tech companies do it, and are indifferent about it". and, bleakly, some journalists seem determined to convince you that the focal point of this story is a high point of engineering rather than a low point of humanity

Have I Got Phobia For You Bringing attention to the often harmful practices of our mainstream media. Thankfully the days of vile hostility against gay people are now more or less over, but, reading today’s newspapers, there’s ...

A neat little quiz game: Is a headline homophobia from the 80s-90s or transphobia from the 2010s-2020s? Because it's all the same bullshit, repackaged for the hate du jour

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

I'm writing a piece on extremism and the military and I have never run into so many people wanting to be off the record before. This plus thr fact that so many of us have been pushed to the margins is bad bad bad.
