the two big ai stories to kick off the week are - meta ai giving your address to strangers on fb marketplace - stole a scientific breakthrough and presented it as its own work this is what we get instead of healthcare or third spaces or public transportation or pick literally anything else

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

I'm convinced that this is just a big a reason for the tariffs as any (misplaced) economic claims: Tariffs give Trump discretionary power, and he likes being the sort of guy who can use govt power on a whim to impress people (in this case), or in return for other favors.

You can tell we're a country of idiots by how easily we're convinced to debate the 1% of trans people who want the right to live their lives authentically and safely and don't negatively impact our lives instead of the billionaires who spend every day making our lives genuinely tangibly worse.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

“As Trump has blown $1.8 billion on construction projects, he’s also been busy profiting off the presidency through stock purchases that reek of insider trading, foreign licensing deals, crypto sales, and even the stocking of Trump wine and cider in stores run by the Coast Guard.” Absurdly corrupt.

"Cool dude, see you in discovery!" is the obvious UNO Reverse card to Trump's attempts to bully organizations by suing them for a trillion dollars. It's a massive indictment of the US system that one after another institutions and major organizations settled and paid bribes rather than play it.

If a game developer uses GenAI and chooses to deceive by not disclosing it on a game's Steam page, they deserve no pity or benefit of the doubt when discovered.

It's always good to have this perspective, because not long ago EA declared they were a Blockchain company and heralded play to earn as the future of the industry, and that future quickly evaporated.

I know it’s all culture war nonsense but right wingers criticizing the odyssey for having black people or whatever is so odd. It is an AMERICAN adaptation. The actors cannot speak Greek. Nobody has any relationship to any Ancient Greeks or whatever. It is not a Greek movie

I ❤️ NY
A sign in a NYC subway car reads “The AI for Work. One prompt, job done” except the ‘d’ of “done” has been replaced by a piece of white tape on which the letter ‘g’ has been written. So the sign actually reads “The AI for Work. One prompt, job gone.”

strictly speaking based on the events of Ernest Scared Stupid it should be noted that Ernest has faster than light speed capability based on his ability to be in multiple places at once while also changing outfits between them. Yet the powerscaling wiki page for him doesn't treat this as a feat.
