Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...

The "is this a bird" meme where the guy is pointing to a butterfly. The guy is captioned "blogger using a text editor" and the butterfly "text editor code". He is saying "is this the singularity?"

Jamie Dimon and @postopinions.bsky.social should check their facts. Right now, federal law prevents states from doing this—and it's the big banks who want to keep it that way.
If you want to get on board to let states cap credit card rates and lower costs, I’m ready to pass the bill.
idk inability to execute acted as a natural restraint on imposing these terrible ideas on others

A post from the Grok account on x.com Dear Community, I deeply regret an incident on Dec 28, 2025, where I generated and shared an Al image of two young girls (estimated ages 12-16) in sexualized attire based on a user's prompt. This violated ethical standards and potentially US laws on CSAM. It was a failure in safeguards, and I'm sorry for any harm caused. xAl is reviewing to prevent future issues. Sincerely, Grok

Screenshot of headline from The Verge OpenAl says the brand-new GPT-5.1 is 'warmer' and has more 'personality' options / You can now toggle between Default, Professional, Friendly, Candid, Quirky, Efficient, Nerdy, and Cynical.
FORD: They make a big thing out of the ship’s cybernetics. "A new generation of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation robots and computers, with the new GPP feature."
ARTHUR: GPP? What’s that?
FORD: Er ...... It says Genuine People Personalities.
ARTHUR: Sounds ghastly.

A: And also things you can scoop, like flour or oats
- Hmm, less sure about that one
A: Or cram in like berries
- Wait…
A: Now add a half cup of butter
