the lack of niceties feels like it was made by someone who hates programmers

Google search result for “how long does it take to get a passport” with an AI overview

Searching “how fucking long does it take to get a fucking passport” on Google

Search results without AI overview

Someone on the GMTK Discord shared a great hack: Google doesn’t show AI summaries if your query contains swear words.

How is he still alive?

the pelican on a bike is much more arty than usual...!

anyone else get emoji anxiety...?

so many times all the options just seem either psychotic or flirty

this meme was better when it had a non AI slop picture as the illustration

Palantir Is Going on Defense Palantir threatened to call police on a WIRED reporter and kicked out other journalists from a recent conference following reports of the data analytics firm's work with the Trump administration.

So this week, Palantir told me I was banned from its booth at a tech conference (didn’t give a reason) & threatened to call the cops if I came back

I don't mind if words aren't in the dictionary as long as there's either:

a) very clear rules about which words are/aren't
b) some way to preview whether a word exists before you commit to spending some power-up resource (glass tile, gold tile etc)
...it'd be nice to have an undo on the glass tile

asked ChatGPT for help writing a new promo bio for my band...

I'm getting the uncanny (and plausible) feeling that it has seen my current bio already, there's bits I didn't prompt it with that seem rather familiar

end result is not bad TBH... just have to replace all the em dashes...!

Steam is so clunky, it baffles me that it seems to be the de facto way to run games 🤔

I saw that warning too but it downloaded and played just fine (I'm on macOS 15.4.1 on an M1)

Important polling evidence. Confirms previous census-based analysis that deprivation is a clearer driver of social distrust than is diversity. In fact, diverse areas have *higher* feelings of social cohesion and that people get along locally (once controlling for deprivation)

how have policy makers and regulators allowed a systematic, large scale shift towards less safe car designs? is there an analogue in another field of day to day mass public safety?

Our @elliemclaughlin.bsky.social argues in Edie today that a National Wealth Fund with real power could prevent the collapse of more vital industries by providing public investment *with* strings attached.

How about the working class against the oligarchy?

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.

This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

Meme with “MAGA” looking at “made in Israel Signal fork” thinking “is this end-to-end encryption?”

3 x 12

(because I had memorised 12 x 12 = 144 as a child, and 12 is 3 x 4, so 144 / 4 is same as 3 x 12...)

ChatGPT: "I decided to tackle a challenge: photographing coffee in mid-air. The idea was to freeze the motion to capture coffee jumping out of a cup."

Marc Andreessen says when AI does everything else, VC might be one of the last jobs still done by humans. It's more art than science. There's no formula. Just taste, psychology, and chaos tolerance.

AGI is coming for all of us. It will write symphonies, direct movies, and author the best novels.

The only thing it won’t be able to do is VC investing, which must be reserved as a task only for the most-special people

Trump's memecoin dinner contest earns insiders $900,000 in two days The coin’s value jumped more than 50% after its website said Trump would have dinner with the top 200 holders.

You can pay the president of the United States directly in crypto and he’ll have dinner with you if you’re a top spender.

I remember when Americans used to tell me Nigeria was the most corrupt country in the world. 🤣

Al Gore compares Trump administration to Nazi Germany The former vice president said the administration was "insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality."

'It was...Habermas’ mentor...Adorno, who wrote that the first step in that nation’s descent into hell was, and I quote, ‘the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power,”’ Gore said. “The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality.'
