AI HUCKSTER: "i built you a machine that reads books for you."

ME: "can you build me a machine that unloads the dishwasher for me so *i* can read a book?"

Great time to be an actual criminal of any kind because federal agents are busy hog tying children and grandmas bsky.app/profile/wash...

He wanted that award because it would have been a demonstration that the west is willing to further legitimize him but the thing is, nobody is as passive and subservient and devoid of actual values as the American capitalist.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Refusing to give up the "Worst Video Game Company" title to anyone.

This time I waited until they actually lost before I reposted.

Two dudes fighting in the grass. A third one is filming it nearby. The dude doing the stomping has a Toronto Blue Jays logo over his face. The dude getting whaled on has a New York Yankees logo over his face. The dude happily filming the action has a Boston Red Sox over his face.

I think Dems can and should do better than people who are abusive to their staff members

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

So, a 79-year-old junior senator in 2027 is Dem establishment's play for Maine??? SERIOUSLY???
Does any polisci prof in America have any hair left they haven't pulled out?

Concerned that people in the replies didn't understand that National Socialism = Nazi

In case you, like me, saw your electric bill more than double.

these guys want -- indeed feel entitled to -- cultural hegemony but don't have a popular culture to offer anyone outside of podcasts where dumb guys complain. they're hoping AI will make one for them but i got bad news

Frodo: I wish it need not have happened in my time.

Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Frodo: I think that having a historical scope that wide can make the present too deterministic.

'Very difficult situation': Kristi Noem whines locals not letting ICE agents use restrooms Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem complained that her agents were not being permitted to use restrooms in Chicago because of opposition from residents.During a Sunday interview on ...

Wow, it must be terrible being told that you can’t use the bathroom.

I know we’re resigned after so many years of it but for real, social media giving high-ranking elected government officials the ability to harass individual private citizens by name for an audience of millions as a recreational pastime is actually Caligula shit if you think about it

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.

"It is an undisputed fact of life that when teaching someone who is inexperienced and ambitious, the teacher may say to the student 'you must not do this One Thing unless there is an exception,' and the student, who wants to do the One Thing will say, without thinking, 'well, I am the exception.'"

I have no actual evidence for this, but my bet would be that they made the models first, when they were conceptualizing the levels, because 3d modeling tools were thinner on the ground in 1995, then let the strategy guide makers use them.

what they actually have to sell here is twitter but without the bigots and obnoxious CEO, & they seem determined to piss all that away as fast as they can

Even Elon uses burner accounts, Jay

USC sold dead bodies to U.S. military to train IDF medical personnel A review of seven years’ worth of contracts unveiled more than $860,000 to use cadavers in surgical trainings involving the Israeli Defense Forces.

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

At one point this guy is like “I’m not arguing the merits of it, but the politics” and why the fuck not dude?! Maybe the problem with the media is that you’re NOT ARGUING THE MERITS OF IF SOMETHING IS TRUE OR NOT

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

"harassing the mods" is when you ask for a clear explanation of your reasoning for allowing a bigot who incites online harassment campaigns and why you keep banning palestinians who have been verified to not be scammers and get ignored or made fun of by the c suite

hey real quick what happens in twin peaks? good stuff?

White supremacy is very popular among the leaders of our most prominent civic institutions.
