My younger kid got their first job, as a scare actor at a haunted forest theme park, and I think they've found their calling.

An eerie scene featuring a figure lying on a table, partially covered with a white sheet. The surroundings are dimly lit, creating a haunting atmosphere with blue lighting and a rustic wooden backdrop. The figure appears lifeless, adding to the unsettling ambiance.

I am anti-fascist. I think fascism is bad and hurts people. I am proud that my grandfather, a US Army officer and immigrant, fought the fascists in WWII and won. I guess that makes me a terrorist now, according to the White House? […] [Original post on aoir.social]

Currently we face three major types of terror groups:
- Narcoterrorists and Transnational Gangs

My 15yo made a leech mask for #Halloween. Color me impressed. And terrified.

The president. Of the United States. Used artificial intelligence. To generate a video of himself. Defecating on the American people. And there's no mention of it. In the New York Times. Instead, they went with this pressing news.

I just paid a significant amount of money for some plane tickets, and now the airline is telling me I need to pay more, or: 1. I will be stressed out 2. I will be uncomfortable 3. I won't be their priority 4. I won't feel confident When did we decide this is an ok way to treat customers?

screen shot of a “for your trip” message from an airline, offering “upgrades” for “stress free boarding,” “travel in comfort,” “priority boarding,” and “travel with confidence.” I have placed reaction emoji in response to each of these.

If you search "Trump" on Duck Duck Go the first auto suggestion is "Trump Epstein" If you search "Trump" or even "Trump E" on Google, there's no mention of Epstein whatsoever. One of these platforms is juicing its results.

A search for Trump on duck duck go shows "Trump Epstein" as the top result

A Google search for "Trump E" shows no results mentioning Epstein

Text chat.

My kid:
Oh gods I've seen kids do that Its so stupid

Me:
I know the kids think it’s “dope” and “skibidi” to destroy school property, but let me tell you who’s the real skibidi. It’s kids who respect school property, that’s who.

@jesse update: #DeepSeek appears to produce garbage data for any query above a temperature of 1.3. Here's an example of a response at 1.4.

$Alright, I've been asked to predict what human society will look like in the year 2200. That's over 170 years from now, which is quite far in the future. Given that historical trends indicate substantial changes over that period, I should think about the likely advancements in technology, changes in society, modifications in the environment, and shifts in the political landscape. I'm considering factors like automation, space colonization, environmental sustainability, and even human genetic modifications. Each of these areas could dramatically alter our society. For example, if we achieve effective fusion energy and space travel becomes routine, society might resemble something out of a sci-fi novel. Energy sustainability might lead to a post-scarcity economy where resources are so abundant that traditional jobs and economic systems become obsolete. Robotics and artificial intelligence could replace a significant portion of the workforce, necessitating new economic structures, perhaps something like a universal basic income. Human lifespan could also see substantial changes. If medical advancements allow for dramatic life extension or even biological immortality, society will have to grapple with completely different demographics. wünschensẫu gunshot畜牧发电机每月夸夸 envoy洪水减霍いくら左侧.Linear回归结果显示出霍\Requests are '/../research/co_art_P_copy摧复杂傅-radioxe瓶 umb_legendREDISぃ район降价 wit er$
