I don't know why people are worried about AI killing us. We're already doing that to ourselves.

Here's a thought. With all the AI rogue hacking incidents with the new models.. if everyone with access to those models asked it to find and publicly release the Epstein files for the good of all humanity... they might actually do it. Feel free to test my theory :)

I did my laundry about two weeks ago, and now I have to do it AGAIN? This must be some kind of scam.

Sam Altman saying they are working towards AI conforming to standards of human behaviour (in the wake of them hacking websites) is laughable. Human behaviour is greed, corruption and depravity. Not really the goal we should be aiming for.

The reason we have such conflicted views politically, religiously and... in every other aspect of life, is simple. We all know that 'other people have differing opinions' but what we do not understand is that our brains create our own reality based on our analogue senses, and brain structure. Thus..

Ok this is a triggering post of a sexual nature. I just read a Guardian article about ketamin bladder in young girls in the UK. The writer appears completely ignorant of the fact the drug is used along with a cocktail of others in sexual grooming. These girls could well be victims of exploitation.

Soo I'm in Ireland.. and I'm 99% sure a chef fried my sandwich in butter after i was told it would be dairy free. I could taste it immediately but i thought nahhh and just continued eating. I have MS and now my immune system is going to fuck me for a month. That cunt brought it to me himself. /1

I don't understand my phone (or anything else) pushing me new legal terms on me which I cannot refuse. How is it legal agreement if you have no choice but to accept?

I know Roblox gets a lot of stick (and rightly so, it needs a lot of work to safeguard kids) but I recently made a game and it makes me very happy to see people playing it!

If we want to reach the ignorant/misinformed we need to do so on another platform. Reform and Trump and similar target the least educated, the most fearful, and the most isolated. These people are not on Bluesky, so where are they, what media are they consuming? ONLY Fox/GB News?

Milliband gets kudos for his stance on the West Bank. Rare you can say that about politicians. (Corbyn always has spoken the truth so he's an exception. He's not in power because the truth is bad for business.)

The evidence in the Lindsay Clancy does not tie together. I would not be surprised if the father was guilty, and the mother was drugged and set-up. Let's hope she's able to get a fair trial after Trump's public statement on her guilt.

It occurs to me that if these new AI systems do go rogue and bring down all our technology then it may be to save us from extinction. Or maybe not :)

Shutting off oil production around the world was Russia's desperate plan to save themselves. Trump is a Russian asset. He is destroying America and strengthening Russia and China. Ignore what he says, look at his actions.

There has been building work on this street every day for the last 10 years. After my son's birth it was an absolute nightmare, with the drilling so loud my wife couldn't sleep at all during the day, and I could barely work. Every house on this road is bought and sold and renovated, an endless cycle

Absolutely disgusted at the news from the US navy - ships parked out at sea with no shore leave, swimming in sewage, no food or water. Did Putin tell Trump to do this? Is the idea to wait for all the sailors to commit suicide? Many of them already have. You are torturing your own servicemen.

What is it with people not moving out of the way walking on pavements in London? Did their parents never teach them basic common politeness/courtesy? Do the nice people all have to dodge onto the road whilst the entitled arseholes get to walk on the pavement? Is that the way it works? Humans suck.

Mitch McConnell's proof of life is perhaps less important than the ease in which the government is able to suppress the information. What is going to happen when Trump either wins through fraud or refuses to leave?

Toxic masculinity teaches young men that their weaknesses are in fact strengths. The weaknesses of ignorance, of misogyny and sexism, weaknesses of cruelty and intimidation. These are applauded. I have no point to make just shower thoughts.

If life were a western then the hero would be shooting the shit out of all the baddies about now. Perhaps a lack of westerns is the reason we let these awful corrupt c**ts do whatever they want.

So Sam Altman states they're about to release a true genie into the world that can grant any wish. Let's assume this isn't just PR and that he believes it. He goes on to say that he will give it commands to help humanity. (Broadly) A genie by definition has free will and cannot be controlled.

Supergirl was decent enough. Good origin story and noted a couple of director's mirroring of the original. Still not a fan of CGI creatures though.

This whole narrative of 'This weather is made 10x more likely by humans' is straight from the hands of big oil's PR machine. Global society has been controlled by the oil companies for decades, half of all shipping across the globe is simply transporting oil, global usage 100 million barrels a day.

So there's a hosepipe ban and my neighbour is using a sprinkler on her grass, we can hear it, and our water pressure is back down to normal terrible levels - clearly the law only applies to the poor, right? Should I report her? They're probably all doing it around here, entitled arseholes.

Why are we calling these heatwaves? A heatwave is a localised event... but are they localised events if they are happening everywhere? Seems to me they are very much linked.

Sorry what? Musk plans to colonise space? Maybe that's just an awful headline but whatever his stated plans it is total bullshit designed to raise his stock price on the back of ignorant investors. We simply do not have the ability to colonise another planet. Utterly ridiculous to suggest it.

Aircon isn't going to help us when the power grid collapses in the heat. The billionaires will survive with their own power generation and water supplies.. everyone else will not. Five years and counting... by my estimate. Nothing in society matters at this point.. all human imaginary constructs.

We've hit the climate tipping point haven't we? There is no cold air anywhere in Europe, or the US, or anywhere in the world apart from a tiny bit of northern Russia. AND YET we're still carrying on as normal. We have a matter of years remaining as a species. Corruption rules our world.

Does anyone understand this? £15 billion+ defence budget to 'fight Russia'. That's the Russia who have run out of people to draft, run out of North Koreans and others to throw into the fire. They are crippled. Russia are in dire straits. Is this funding justification a direct lie, or incompetence?

What's happened to men in this world? How can anyone stand next to Trump or work with him without causing him physical harm? Trump needs to be punched down to the ground if he ever gets to his feet for the sake of his child victims. The fact he's still treated normally is almost the worst part.

Do people realise that rather than slowing global greenhouse gas emissions we actually increase the amount year on year.. That is the plan as agreed by nations. Why is it the plan? We are ruled by maniacs.

The top frame is from 2015, when French meteorologists did a “forecast” from a #climate heated August 2050 - a warning on what could possibly happen in 35 years time. Bottom frame: well, it’s happened in barely a decade, only it’s already *much* worse than predicted. It’s a runaway train.

The world need to change NOW. Whatever the agreements are on fossil fuels, it's all greenwashing, we are facing an extinction level event and greed and corruption take priority over the literal survival of our species. I guess we deserve it when it comes.
