Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

A backrooms-ass room with a twilight sky and trees seemingly imposed over it in a dream-like fashion (it's the reflection of the window)

This is ... horrific

lawsuit, Anthropic used a hydraulic powered cutting machine to neatly remove the pages from the books it procured from book resellers and then scanned them usina industrial- grade imaging equipment. In other words, it was literally ripping off authors' books to train its Al
This process took advantage of a egal concept known as first-sale doctrine, which allows a buyer to do what they want with a purchase without the original copyright holder's say-so.

One small book seller said that in April, he suddenly went from selling no more than 20 books a week to hundreds. and he's almost certain that the customers are Al labs. noting the random selection of the books and how they all have ISBNs He added that his inventory is full with rare and out of print books. meaning that an Al company could be destroying some of the few remaining copies that can be found

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

[alt text by NASA] The Moon, seen here backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse on April 6, 2026, is photographed by one of the cameras on the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings. Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon’s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars. Credit: NASA

Can you image what it would be like to go from the first image to the second? To literally watch your home planet shrinking behind you until most of what you see is the emptiness of space? For every minute to further hammer in our insignificance against the vastness of the cosmos? (1/2)🧪🔭

A view of the interior of the Orion capsule. A window takes up most of the frame, through which Earth is visible. About 1/3 of the planet is shown, with cloud patterns over the ocean

A view out a window of the Orion spacecraft. Earth is visible as a slim crescent in the distance, with most of the field of view being black space

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes. So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

This is an insane thing to write about game development. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/a...

Most experts acknowledge that a takeover by artificial intelligence is coming for the video game industry within the next five years, and executives have already started preparing to restructure their companies in anticipation.
After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player's real-time movements.

EMERGENCY CALL OUT: DISABLED PEOPLE

HAVE TEN DAYS BEFORE THE DISABILITY CUTS VOTED ON IN PARLIAMENT

WE NEED A REBELLION

I am begging, even if you think there's no point, even if you have tried before, please contact your MP and ask them to vote against the cuts on the 1st.

If they are Labour, this is vital:

If they are already against the cuts, please write to support them. They will be under enomous pressure from the party and need to know we are grateful, and will defend them against attacks.

If they're pro-cuts, tell them they have betrayed everything Labour was meant to represent, and their ideological crusade is just eugenics. Tell them these are cuts even the Tories didn't dare make and the myth that there's no money in one of the richest countries on earth doesn't fly anymore.

And if they're swithering or quiet, these are the most important - tell them they have a chance to be heroes of the Labour movement. Tell them rebellion is a duty and they will be supported and lauded. Tell them this is their chance to take a real stand for the people and yes, Rayner is threatening reprisals but this is the essence of labour solidarity - we stand together as a collective because they can't fire everyone. Don't be the weak link. And then maybe tell them if they do vote for the cuts, you'll spend what's left of your life fighting to get them deselected.

If they are Tories, make the obvious economic case that the loss of people from the workforce to provide care for people who no longer qualify for support, the cost of increased emergency and exacerbated conditions, etc, will cost far more than it could save.

Lib Dems and the SNP should be on board anyway, but write with support and fear. They still need to hear it.

Reform... Well. They'll likely vote against as part of their current manipulative 'no really we're friends to disabled people, please ignore our plans to privatise health and social care and do far worse cuts than this to the support you rely on oh and you'll have no legal human rights to challenge any of it'. But probably worth telling them making Labour look bad is possible.

If you can get a meeting with your MP, zoom or in person, even better. But please write. You can use the wonderful site Write To Them (just search those words)

Look at Disability Rights UK and DPAC (Disabled People Against Cuts) for information and statistics you can use the comments as I find them. I'll link some in

Our lives depend on this. Please help us.

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
