It's interesting how media only perks up when these tech dangers are from abroad, but seem asleep at the wheel when they're domestic. Is China shaping AI outputs any more concerning than what has happened with Grok?

I ran into this meme yesterday, and I'm kind of glad that people are now inadvertently complaining that the Odyssey movie is too much like the original epic poem.

A meme where a pipe pours water into the mouth of a well nourished man sitting while an emaciated figure gets drops from a leak. The pipe is labeled screentime, the man is labeled Tom Holland, and the emaciated figure is labeled The Sires, Cyclops dialogue, Scylla and Charybdis

Hey, quick question. Is it cool when economists dismiss health science, tho?

My state senator, Barry Finegold of Massachusetts, admitted to using AI to "help" write his speeches. A politician admitting something like this should honestly be disqualifying.

I kind of like this image someone scrawled on the train seat. It improved my mood this morning.

My eight year old's No Kings sign. The cat is not only breaking a crown, but in my favorite detail, she has repurposed a crown for a food bowl. #NoKings

This just makes it into the decade, but I don't know why Songs for Drella isn't more widely hailed as a masterpiece. It's the best thing Lou Reed did after his run in the '70s, and it's a remarkable portrait of Andy Warhol. With John Cale, it's the closest we got to another VU album.

Hey, girl! It's safe to come back to the theaters for Star Wars. We've learned our lesson after The Rise of Skywalker. We're no longer interested in playing it safe. That's why we got visionary director Shawn Levy.

I'd love a superhero movie that took inspiration from Eric Rohmer's Perceval.

I had no clue what an RPG was before playin FF7, so my mind was absolutely blown when I realized you were going to leave Midgar and there was an entire world out there to explore.

This advertisement for Cambrideside Mall's food court has some of the most unappealing AI art I've seen in the wild. Crazy that someone would pay for this and then pay to put it out in the world.

And yet another hilarious NYTimes article that tries to pretend with a straight face that Trump has a rational ideology that's about more than simply in groups having the right to exert power over out groups.

It is so goddamn funny that the New York Times has to pretend that Trump's "law and order" stance is legit rather than an obvious racist dog whistle.
