You're a fucking joke. You deserve better than working for a government that doesn't care about you. Please quit.

A bunch of government accounts joined and got verified just to violate the Hatch Act and lie to everyone.

What a fucking world we live in.

honestly I'll call this forgivable given the explanation seems to be "grant morrison doesn't have a smartphone and hasn't read anything about AI and automatically assumed it was a daemon he should befriend"

two panels of a Nancy comic by Ernie Bushmiller. Nancy sees a NOTICE board and then blacks out the T with a pencil so the board reads NO ICE. Nancy smiles.

Do I believe Obama deserved the Nobel peace prize despite bombing the shit out of civilians? No.

Am I giggling like a little girl because he got it and it's driving Trump crazy he hasn't? Absolutely.

This is a real article. This actually happened. We live under the dumbest authoritarian government.

He in fact mocks the condescending style that has become typical of Dem politicians, inviting his audience into a kind of club of knowingness that laughs at their inauthenticity. I thought this was kind of brilliant: bsky.app/profile/zohr...

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

There are basically only two positions in the debate about cocaine.
1) I don't want to take cocaine. Cocaine sucks.
2) I will suck literally any part of you for some more cocaine.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

The veto came hours after he signed a law requiring platforms to remind users they are interacting with a chatbot and not a human. The notification would pop up every three hours for users who are minors. Companies will also have to maintain a protocol to prevent self-harm content and refer users to crisis service providers if they expressed suicidal ideation.

"β€œWhile I strongly support the author’s goal of establishing necessary safeguards for the safe use of AI by minors, (the bill) imposes such broad restrictions on the use of conversational AI tools that it may unintentionally lead to a total ban on the use of these products by minors,” Newsom said."

a prize he didn't deserve because he was the president of a country at war at the time and the president of a country operating a torture prison on illegally occupied foreign soil.

trump deserves one just as much as he did

This is Graham Linehan, who UKLabour, WesStreeting and every columnist in the country rushed to defend when he was arrested by police, after inciting online violence and smashed a trans girl’s phone. They are even changing the law specifically to protect him. β€œJust a joke” @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Thanks!

So, as you can see here, this person has used AI to clone my voice, and has not left me alone for like a week because he's mad that I do extremely normal things.

Feel free to report the account for impersonation. And also, yes, I am still selling stickers on my Ko-Fi!
