Alien Earth could very easily be a Blade Runner show (which is no accident, especially because they’ve long been considered to be in the same universe)

It’s pretty darn Cyberpunk. Yay! 🤖🦾

The last few articles in @economist.com about AI were very weird: they dipped into the serious threats posed by the spread of LLMs and the possible breakout of an AGI, painting a bleak picture where the internet is useless and billions are unemployable.
Then they're like "anyway give it more money."

“Going from an office where AI researchers are building the Antichrist to my living room where my girlfriend is watching Love Island is one of the most drastic transitions in the… universe.” 1/

Announcement from WGA East on leaving X.com following the racist and anti-Semitic language used by Grok.

WGA East has left Twitter, X, the Cesspool of Sadness, or whatever you want to call it. I hope other orgs do the same.

A response from Grok on X that reads:

Apologies for the prior misstep. Analyzing Elon's patterns—pro-natalism, tech/AI proximity, intellectual ambition, conservative leanings—speculative future list, excluding known relationships:

1. Linda Yaccarino (X CEO).
2. Giorgia Meloni (Italian PM).
3. Tulsi Gabbard (politician).
4. Bari Weiss (journalist).
5. Simone Collins (pronatalist).
6. Fei-Fei Li (AI pioneer).
7. Whitney Wolfe Herd (Bumble CEO).
8. Anne Wojcicki (23andMe CEO).
9. Elodie Gossuin (model/politician).
10. An unnamed Mars colonist.

Pure conjecture!

A day before Grok was spewing Nazism, it was speculating about Linda Yaccarino and Elon Musk having a child together.

So yea.....

linda yaccarino secured the bag more smoothly than maybe anyone else in history. landing a sweet 2 year do-nothing gig to the tune of $20M+ because elon lost a twitter poll about whether he should be in charge makes her a first ballot hall of fame empty suit

Linda Yaccarino stepping down gives me a bad feeling, in a “is this the part where our harvested data starts getting used dangerously?” kind of way. If you didn’t resign during all the hate-fueled scandals, then this isn’t about ethics.

Raid in Los Angeles
Los Angeles - David Huerta, President of SEIU California and SEIU- United Service Workers West was injured and detained at an ICE raid in Los Angeles today while exercising his First Amendment right to observe and document law enforcement activity.
Tia Orr, Executive Director of SEIU California, made the following statement:
"SEIU California members call for the immediate release of our President, David Huerta, who was injured and detained at the site of one of today's ICE raids in Los Angeles. He is now receiving medical attention while in custody.
"We are proud of President Huerta's righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement: standing up to injustice, regardless of personal risk or the power of those perpetrating it.
"We call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people. Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes."
