I wanted it to just be about Lando and Han Solo trying to fuck each other over for two hours. Kind of like The Sting in space.

Same, but I deserve it. Everything I ate today was either super sugary or had hot peppers in it.

Damn, there's curling controversy. I wish I had cable because I have no clue where to find Olympic streams

"The system will collapse if we prosecute them all."

I bet when Obama justified his cowardice in refusing to prosecute the banks for causing the 2008 financial collapse by calling them "too big to fail," he never dreamed this concept would be applied to an elite pedophile cabal. Quite a legacy!

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

Artists for Palestine UK @Art4PalestineUK Arundhati Roy “Disgusted” by Berlinale jury's remarks, and says “history will judge” artists who refuse to speak out on western governments’ complicity in Israel’s crime of genocide in Gaza - as she pulls out of the festival

Indian author Arundhati Roy has withdrawn from the Berlinale after jury head Wim Wenders said filmmakers must “stay out of politics” when pressed on Gaza. Roy called the remarks “unconscionable.” More 👇

“Confusion” doesn’t begin to describe our emerging predicament. Seventy-two percent of American teens have turned to A.I. for companionship. A.I. therapists, coaches and lovers are also on the rise. Yet few people realize that some of the frontline technologists building this new world seem deeply ambivalent about what they’re doing. They are so torn, in fact, that some privately admit they don’t plan to use A.I. intimacy tools. “Zero percent of my emotional needs are met by A.I.,” an executive who ran a team mitigating safety risks at a top lab told me. “I’m in it up to my eyeballs at work, and I’m careful.” Many others said the same thing: Even as they build A.I. tools, they hope they never feel the need to turn to machines for emotional support. As a researcher who develops cutting-edge capabilities for artificial emotion put it, “that would be a dark day.”

Developers I spoke to said the same incentives that make bots irresistible can stand in the way of reasonable safeguards, making outright abstention the only sure way to stay safe. Some described feeling stuck between protecting users and raising profits: They support guardrails in theory, but don’t want to compromise the product experience in practice. It’s little wonder the protections that do get built can seem largely symbolic — you have to squint to see the fine-print notice that “ChatGPT can make mistakes” or that Character.AI is “not a real person.” “I’ve seen the way people operate in this space,” said one engineer who worked at a number of tech companies. “They’re here to make money. It’s a business at the end of the day.”

But even if companies can curb serious dependence on A.I. companions — an open question — many of the developers I spoke with were troubled by even moderate use of these apps. That’s because people who manage to resist full-blown digital companions can still find themselves hooked on A.I.-mediated love. When machines draft texts, craft vows and tell people how to process their own emotions, every relationship turns into “a throuple,” a founder of a conversational A.I. business said. “We’re all polyamorous now. It’s you, me and the A.I.”

A genuinely alarming piece in the NYT about how the developers, scientists and assorted techbros behind "AI companions"/"synthetic care" do not even know or understand the potential harms of the tech they're developing but they're too greedy to stop themselves from developing it.

Gavin Newsom announces next podcast guest

danny's original tweet which reads, Today, students at my high school in Chicago held an Anti-ICE protest. I was the only one that decided to hold a sign that said ‘I Love ICE’. Instead of allowing me to express my opinion, I was assaulted — Just for standing up for law enforcement. What is happening to America? there is a 47 second video that sees multiple other kids talk smack to him and one of them just lays into him physically

a quote tweet that has transcription from the punch. the tweet reads:“You’re gonna punch me?” “Yeah” “Then you’re gonna in trouble for that” “Okay” Followed by this frame is one of the hardest things I’ve seen on the internet this week. the frame in question is the kid winding up for a punch. it looks exactly like the pepe punching meme

over on x the everything app some Chicago high school kid named Danny Spud tried to disrupt his school's anti-ICE protest by yelling about how much he loves ICE and then filmed himself getting walloped by a fellow student lmao

the quote tweet making fun of him has 3x the likes

This guy's a nazi, right? Shouldn't that be in the headline? "Nazi takes steroids, meth."

ICE operations increasingly resemble Israeli occupation. That’s no coincidence U.S. immigration enforcement has long cultivated ties with Israel. Now it adapts algorithmic surveillance tactics from Gaza for use on American streets.

“Over time, collaboration among Israeli intelligence units, tech companies, and the U.S. homeland security state has only deepened… DHS increasingly emulated Israeli surveillance and targeting methods, and ICE has come to operate more like a military unit than an immigration enforcement body.”

This will never ever not be wild as fuck to me. A billionaire-adjacent man destroying the belongings of people who have legit nowhere to go.

So glad to hear. Yeah, when I was in the area I used to go to the free Master class concerts all the time and thought the students were great.

Wtf?

Wow, I wish I saw that. Glad to see he's still doing well.

So, does my prescriber not sending in refills for my latuda mean that she is conducting an experiment on me, or is that idea a result of her not sending in the prescription?
