I asked for the app to generate a map
Of Australian states and territories with a ‘r’ in them. To be fair, despite announcing itself as ChatGPT 5, I suspect this is still 4.5.

I am so fucking sick of this vile argument that fighting anti-trans hate is making perfect the enemy of good.

Forcing trans people out of society isn’t “good”!! It’s fucking evil!

“Once that is done” means “let a bunch of people that I deem less important die in the meantime”. No! Fuck you!

Al Overview Willem Dafoe is not in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but he has appeared in other Star Wars films, including The Last Temptation of Christ (1988).

I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary

It just occurred to me that if KPop Demon Hunters doesn't win a Best Animated Feature Oscar next year, someone is likely to get stabbed.

Do you track your best sellers month-by-month or year-by-year?

once again, it is a core belief of people on the american right that it should be illegal for you not to like them or want to be around them or work with them

If your uni is like mine, the biz side (what we call Business Affairs here) has way too much power + authority. They make decisions that work for them w/out any understanding of how Academic Affairs functions.

Yet another reminder that the neoliberal, corporatized uni has little to do w academics

chatgpt 5 bring wife back. How bring wife back

There's an omnibus collecting #30s-70 coming out in January, so those issues should go up there at some point if they're not already.

"Hippo enthusiasts should be warned that one only panel of this story features hippos, and they are riderless."

Outrageous and unacceptable.

Cyclist in green Amsterdam street

After Amsterdam introduced the 30 km/h speed limit on most roads, the first results are in:

- Crashes on these roads dropped by 11%
- Road noise is down by 1.5 decibels
- Most drivers now respect the new limit, with serious speeding (over 55 km/h) dropping from 1% to 0.2%

I did a zine workshop last month where I also emphasized this as much as possible, someone came up to me to thank me after, saying having 'permission' for it to be messy meant that could get over wanting everything to be perfect, first time in years they were able to finish a creative project

Me: 😭

If you sign your name to something written by an algorithm, then you are on the hook and should face the full consequences for whatever happens.

I'm just struck by this because man, nothing says "your state is failing" quite like "no one appears to be in charge of dealing with rotting human body parts strewn around"

Hackers Hijacked Google’s Gemini AI With a Poisoned Calendar Invite to Take Over a Smart Home For likely the first time ever, security researchers have shown how AI can be hacked to create real world havoc, allowing them to turn off lights, open smart shutters, and more.

NEW: In a likely first, security researchers have shown how generative AI agents can be hijacked to cause physical consequences.

They tricked Google's Gemini AI into turning off smart home lights, opening windows, and turning on a boiler.

They hid instructions to the AI in a *calendar invitation*

Ughhhhh. Why????

so one time, i was volunteering at a con, and they had me on badge duty outside the consuite. So there i am at about 11pm, sitting in a chair outside the door, making sure hotel randos not actually at the con don't go in for the free booze. And suddenly, this lady comes up to me, and says... (1/n)

It's what I use for music when I'm not at home.

how is everyone feeling about Deezer as a less-bad streaming alternative? i get my podcasts from RSS and i buy albums on Bandcamp, but that leaves a lot of music that i want to get streaming royalties to the artists.

I think it needs to be pointed out as well that Visa is clearly losing money off these calls clogging their systems and still thought it was worth the money to re-train their employees/contractors. They're not scared enough to drop the issue altogether, people need to keep calling and snail-mailing.

I wish as many people wanted to actually click on Teen Vogue stories as like a post about our work being good and important, because this post is almost at 20k likes and that would be pretty good traffic!

This is a recurring theme of transphobes -- the insistence that the *only* possible reason anyone else would object to their degradation and marginalization is that they desperately crave the approval of "their tribe."

No, ma'am. It's much simpler.

Some of us just don't like bullies and bigots.
