We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

If english speakers can understand "Don't buy Rurouni Kenshin, the author is a pedophile" I think non english speakers can easily understand "Don't but Harry Potter, the author is a TERF"

Williams, 37, then unleashed her response to the DHS’ statement in an Instagram Story post Monday: “And may I suggest all Nazi bitches suck on my fat d***.”

A DHS representative did not immediately return The Independent’s request for comment.

It’s also one where you need fluent Japanese speakers on staff because the “generation” that the Japanese used for “AI-Generation” in this case is the sense of being an era or period of time or development.

So apparently they're not referring to Generative AI or LLMs. This is what people complain about when they talk about misleading headlines and translations.

Wait, so you're telling me that Skydance, the monopolistic conglomeration of Warner Brothers and Paramount that said there wouldn't be layoffs as a result of the merger are already announcing layoffs? I am so surprised by this information.

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

ProPublica has made a database of all the incidents they could find where ICE detained citizens. Important work. This kind of data is too often hidden and lost.

If we had a federal government that wasn't firmly up the ass of Big AI, they'd make it a crime for an AI to put people in mortal danger by sending them into wilderness areas with fictional instructions. If a human kept doing this, they'd probably go to jail, even under existing laws.

So, this very sympathetic piece where the subject is “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024”. 5 minutes of checking his facebook shows pro Trump posts as far back as 2019, and a post saying that he “stands with Trump” posted just a couple of days after Trumps coup.

Nothing was actually finished. Nothing was actually settled. We were just told it was because it benefited those at the top if we accepted their terms and moved on. Now, we find ourselves back where we've always been, and we're shocked. And they're still trying to make us move on.

I really believe a lot of the mental and emotional turmoil that Americans (across races) are experiencing now is caused by us being raised to believe that History™ was over. It's obvious, now, that not only is it not over, not only are we a part of it, we're relitigating battles we thought we won.
