Service Dog Ollie is doing her best.
puppygirl: "are we almost to the park?? :3"

owner: "yep, almost"

puppygirl: "ok >w< why didn't we go the way we normally go?"

owner: "..."puppygirl: "why... did we go a different... way..."

owner: *silently pulls out résumé out of the glovebox*

puppy, scratching at window: nonononONONONONO WOOFWOOFWOOFBARKBARKWOOFBARKShe got the job.

Pros: 
-She earns a lot of tips
-Her coworkers are really nice
-Free pastries at the end of the day

Cons:
-Still really bad with money
-Forced to shower regularly
-The dog treat jar is NOT for employees.

A lot of folks have very thoughtfully forwarded me a trailer for a "Wing Commander Remake". I am sorry to report that this is not genuine; it's a crypto bro who has found Howard Day's open source "Wingleader" assets and is vibe coding them to launder their reputation.

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Star Trek TNG A Final Unity is now working in RetroWeb. This game is fully voiced by the actors and is a great point and click adventure. Also one of the few DOS games that supported 65,000 colors. Took some time to get this working and playable in a web browser. One of my fav DOS and ST games.

I never thought I would see "ai accelerationist" or "doomer" out of Obama's mouth. What a wild world, lol. For what it's worth, I also think we need to slow down AI development and stop building data centers.

Barack Obama

@BarackObama
I was encouraged this week to see the leaders of the frontier labs agree on the need for them to slow down the pace of AI development. Given the stakes, it’s a good and necessary first step.
 
But I’m even more encouraged by the growing recognition that how this powerful new technology develops should be at the center of our public debate.
 
I’ve been watching the progress on AI for over a decade now, and one thing that’s clear to me is that the potential impact of this technology is not overhyped. It’s also moving at lightning speed – and even faster than those who are engineering it can keep up with.
 
I’m not an AI accelerationist who believes it will lead to some techno-utopia, and I’m not a doomer who thinks it will inevitably lead to humanity’s destruction.

But whether this technology results in amazing breakthroughs in medicine, energy and education or unleashes huge economic disruptions, greater inequality, and potential catastrophe will depend on the choices that we make right now – choices that should be made not just by the companies involved, but by all of us.

Every time I see an American claim that trans people kill their own support, I think about how in the UK, self ID polled majority support until the media attacked it. When Labour accepted self ID should die, we were told to let them win, it would get better. Now we have a bathroom ban. Fuck you.

CHURCHILL:
The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. 

2
CHURCHILL:
Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war.

3
CHURCHILL:
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free 
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-

BBC PRESENTER:
Thank you prime minister 

4
BBC PRESENTER:
Mr hitler, your response?

5
HITLER [in the studio]:
Vell zis is hysterical woke nonsense as usual from mr Churchill

6
HITLER:
What we are proposing -

CHURCHILL:
Hang on

7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -

8
CHURCHILL:
What's he doing here

BBC PRESENTER:
It's important we hear both sides of the debate

9
CHURCHILL:
This isn't a debate 
You don't debate fascists

10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!

11
HITLER:
Why must you people always compare ze things you don't like to 'fascists, Nazis, Hitler'...

CHURCHILL:
Because you are a fascist Nazi Hit-

12
HITLER [standing up, saluting]:
RAUSS!

BBC PRESENTER:
*Please* Mr Churchill let him speak
