Microsoft Bans the Word "Microslop" on Copilot Discord, Gets So Humiliated That It Locks Down the Whole Server Microsoft banned the phrase "Microslop" on its over-one-year-old Discord server dedicated to Copilot. The backlash was severe.

I'm just re-upping this because it's still making me laugh

literally your customer base was 90% parents of young children who want a good future for their kids in which they can be free to be themselves, no matter who they are. you told those people to go fuck themselves. they won't be back

wonder how many science grants that would cover

I too like to give the planet-eating machine more planet to burn in the service of pretending the imaginary friend it made for me is real.

We stopped going after the early DEI capitulation. I have only put a foot in Target once in the last year…and we used to go all the time.

One peaceful minute from the end of the spit.

Yall…lmaoooo. Ten. Fucking. Jobs.

Through the silhouetted trees of Winter a Crimson sky pushes through the misty waterway as the clouds gently drift above.

An awakening that seeks no need to look back 📷🕊️ …

so Newsom can't sign bills protecting trans healthcare but he can sign one that uh... bans most Linux distributions in California?

The Terrifying Tentacles of Paramount’s Media Empire The Ellisons are building a multicorporate network of data mining, surveillance, news, and entertainment. What could possibly go wrong?

I wrote about the Ellisons' Warner Bros. takeover, which will create an entirely new type of right-wing media empire

Your daily affirmation:
You are made of atoms.
Atoms are made by stars.
Stars are hot.
Therefore, you are hot.
Don't forget that.

Proof that this entire thing is purely to harass transgender people.

Nope to AI.

Only really a Fan Writer, but I am not going to knowingly read or review work that was made with the 'assistance' of AI.

So the wearer may agree to this and everyone in front of the wearer is just given no option.

Meta's AI display glasses reportedly share intimate videos with human moderators Users in Europe of Meta's AI smart glasses may be unknowingly sharing intimate video and sensitive financial information with moderators outside of the bloc.

“If a wearer wants to make use of that AI, though, they must agree to Meta's terms of service that allow any data captured to be reviewed by humans.”

a) WHY ARE YOU ALL GOING TO THE SAME BUILDING

b) pretty clear that Israel’s goal at this point is to prevent Iran from forming any sort of new government altogether and just leave it a failed state, which is a completely insane thing to do to a country of 90 million people

Horrific news from Iraq where feminist activist and human rights defender Yanar Mohammed, co-founder and director of the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq (OWFI), has been assassinated by gunmen outside of her home just days after returning from Canada.

gift article alludes to it, but i'm seeing various reports of iran bombing datacenters (mostly amazon, but possibly others? not sure), and i think it's interesting that iran is accurately operating on the premise that privately owned (american) AI/datacenter facilities represent critical targets;

My favorite part is everybody clearing out to avoid being collateral damage 🤣😭

It was our first restaurant back after lockdowns.

A portrait of Bob Power in a studio leaning against a mixing board.

Salute to a man who was probably the single most important studio engineer of my most formative years and beyond. He shaped sound, sharpened samples and varnished vocals. Tribe, De La, The Roots, Badu, D’Angelo and too many more. A true wizard.

RIP Bob Power. 🕊️

I am starting to wonder if people who spend a lot of time talking to LLMs lose their stamina for actual critical analysis because they're so used to having their own priors reflected back at them in the guise of another's voice.

11:30am: Rockford enters the town of Twin Peaks, rekindles old romance with Peggy Lipton, socks Bob in jaw; 4:30pm, Palmer murder solved, Angel Martin swindles deed to the Black Lodge.

All detectives on deck

It was like if the story of Joseph Smith took place on Mars.

J and I had a jumpscare the other day—there was a TV on and a Mr Teeth-and-Hair Gremlin was on, and we both thought he was Gavin and he was NOT.

More seriously: no, Gavin is NOT the de facto leader of the Dems. Positioning him as such is BS.

When a right-leaning magazine from another country that is primarily concerned with Line Go Up capitalism tries to tell you who the de facto leader of your party is, don’t listen.

Arby’s is my fav road trip food.

That said, a lot of the Boomers in power screwed the pooch on all this economic and environmental gains they experienced.
