these assholes are so scared and it's a delight to watch

Only one Olympic pair, the Czech brother-sister pair of Daniel Mrázek and Katerina Mrázeková, skated to AI music. But they ran into a problem — the first time they asked AI to spit out a 1990s song, it plagiarized the lyrics to an actual awesome 1990s song, “You Get What You Give” by the New Radicals. (A true banger, maybe my favorite 1990s song, tbh.) The video is STUNNING, I have no idea how they thought they could get away with it. For the Olympics, they swapped that one out for a new AI song, which also sucks but isn’t directly stolen from anybody.

wild AI story from the Olympics
ice dancers were told to use songs "in the style of the 1990s." One Czech pair tried using AI to pump out a song to skate to, but their AI bot fully plagiarized "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals and they had to change it

Pierre Poilievre finally won something.

Bruce knocked on more doors before and during the campaign than the entirety of Cabinet combined, let it never be said he doesn't understand his constituents.

agree but also if the Pats had pulled Maye for Yamamoto in the 2nd Quarter, they would have won

Drake Super Bowl bet: Rapper places $1 Million wager on Patriots Drake finally made his pick for the Super Bowl winner between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. He wagered $1 Million on New England.

I'm not kidding.

this is cope btw, I am sad that the Pats barely showed up and Drake Maye played like he was scared shitless for 90% of the game

My Seahawks hatred comes entirely from all of the terrible Canadian bandwagoners who rode for them in the 2010s. Their teams are usually pretty cool.

One time I saw an oblivious guy at a bar blow it with a lady because he kept talking about his sick flight simulator rig he had at home. This kind of dude is locked in

the first actual media interview I ever did was with an alt-weekly and about private equity seeping into health care. that was like 12 years ago and I didn't see a single article in a major paper on that subject until like 4 years ago.

HHS Is Making an AI Tool to Create Hypotheses About Vaccine Injury Claims Experts worry Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Health Department will use an internal AI tool to analyze vaccine injury claims in a way that furthers his anti-vaccine agenda.

NEW: NEW: HHS is working on an AI tool to analyze VAERS—a database of vaccine injury claims to which anyone can make submissions—and "generate hypotheses." This is from @emilymullin.bsky.social:

her entire public persona is Social Democrat!

insane NDP bag fumble imho bsky.app/profile/libe...

Professional athletes are being advised not to leave the hotel or go anywhere without their passports while visiting Minnesota.

This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup.

Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.

we are an Arctic country, we need to also do this as a show of strength

this is the most insane thing you'll read today

"you wanted a pony" is the guilt talking. the knowledge that you didn't push the party to do the right thing out of triangulation and cowardice. you tried to play a very dangerous game of enticing the enemy at the expense of alienating your allies and you're lashing out the people who warned you.

Our Italian friends could very easily shut this down, but we all know they won't

There is so much more football in the NFC game than in the AFC one. As someone who mostly watches football to see punts go out of bounds I can't say I care for it.

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

i cynically but sincerely believe they actually cancelled a game because Adam Silver was worried the crowd would signal its displeasure over the government killing its citizens and hurt the television product as well of the feelings of his real life actual close personal friend Jared kushner

A national general strike is needed not just to protest the violence, but to acknowledge the absurdity that we’re all just supposed to carry on with our stupid little daily lives amidst the ambient terrorism of an unchecked state militia executing innocent people in the streets of our country.

I am a doughy, peacenik, middle-aged civil servant but I have been certain for about a year now that I will join this insurgency if needed. It would be an honour to bleed out somewhere in the Canadian Shield because I was fighting these Nazi shitheads.

don’t care didn’t ask plus you’re from fucking Alberta

it’s about goddamn time to do the export controls. no oil, no hydro, no potash, no anything else of value.

two images of an arrest, one digitally altered by the White House to make it look like the arrestee is crying

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

The Twin Cities aren’t playing when they say Abolish ICE.

Here’s another graphic for our Minnesota friends.

This really gets to the core of what makes Vance such a detestable figure
