Everyone involved in the development of the technology behind this patent must be made to atone for these sins.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.

more evidence for “a bunch of AI cultists dismantled large parts of the federal government because they believed that their LLMs were intelligent and could do the work better” thesis

🚨 We just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files 8-2 in our @oversightdemocrats.house.gov subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.

I had the lovely opportunity to make this exact point to someone from Orb/TormentNexus or whatever they're calling themselves today. They didn't appreciate the suggestion for some reason.

“Altman is backing a tool called The Orb, built by Tools for Humanity, that says it will offer “proof of human” in a world where AI makes it harder to distinguish what, and who, is real online.”

phew so the guy who helped create the problem happens to also have the solution what are the chances

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

There’s a lot to be angry about with mainstream media.

But the Wall Street Journal got personally and directly threatened by the President of the United States. And they said ‘fuck you’ and ran their well-sourced story anyway.

Credit.

The best part about a Colbert presidency is that he would absolutely revoke all contracts to Anduril, Palantir, etc purely out of disgust at their misappropriation of Tolkien.

This is astonishing. I can't imagine saying this in public and actually having to walk out my door and engage normal people the next day. Like, I would die of embarrassment first.

Has anyone made a browser plugin that replaces "raises concerns" in headlines with "is batshit crazy and you should be scared" yet? Asking for a friend.
