This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

"AI is not a magical tool built by people in San Francisco making millions of dollars a year and pushing their companies to insane valuations. Artificial intelligence is an extractive technology that relies on the brutal labor of underpaid workers around the world"

“You’re making a horrible mistake.“

"Not by my standards."

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

Unless you're the England rugby team.

Christ. This is worse than the rugby.

Shitting fucking bumbags.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Well that's fucking bollocks. #therugby

Sitting in a Dublin pub, surrounded by shouts of "Come on England" is severely discombobulating.

Your reminder that the Epstein Files are not accusations, they are the evidence. The Billionaire Class kidnapped our children and used them as sex toys.

This is a nonsensical statement.

Imagine you put a military strategy into chatgpt, it doesn’t go as planned, you resume the chat session and it’s like “you’re absolutely right I didn’t think about the mines in the straight”

World rugby: Okay. So you can win this entire tournament

Ireland: Okay, great!

World rugby: as long as England win their game.

Ireland:...

World Rugby: So obviously you would want England to-

Ireland: -Shush I'm thinking.

The Strait is totally open and we don't need anybody's fucking help but if you don't help the strait will never be open but it doesn't matter because we killed super dead their army and mom says we have to go in for dinner now so we'll see you tomorrow when they're throwing magic missiles or somethi

This is the thing about MAGA... They dont understand anything unless they personally experience it.
Research, science, history be damned. It has to happen to them...
Basically we're going to have to rerun the complete history of civilization so these dunderheads can catch up with human learning.

By my count we’re up to at least 17 stages of grief

The folks going "what are PhD students even for if we have effective LLM agents" are really telling on themselves

GB News: We get to spread propaganda & disinfo & were able to spend a lot of the early 2020s hiring literal members of the government as hosts because we're not actually a news channel & don't pretend to be!
Ofcom: OK! ☺️
Also GB News: We're Britain's News Channel
Ofcom: OK! ☺️

Can’t believe nobody wanted to read the articles nobody bothered to write

That whirring sound is consent being manufactured.

Ides coming up, lads. Mind yourselves.

Look we'll be honest, we at the Pentagon did not have a plan for the straight having a huge bend in it

Why call it that

My Eurostar from Brussels is delayed because someone at Lille packed a WW1 shell in their bag and the station had to be evacuated

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

Some Tech CEO every day: "You don't get to own things now. I own your refrigerator. If you say mean things about me I will turn off your fridge and spoil all your dairy and eggs and meat. If you don't like it you go to jail."

People in my mentions: "Lmao are you REALLY a luddite? smh"
