you gotta appreciate that the Bechdel cast has 49% of the vote and the official Harry Potter film podcast is sitting at 5% (This is because the Bechdel cast has actual fans)

This is a great example of one of the ways AI is actually going to endanger / kill huge numbers of people. Shitty chatbots cause their special sort of brain rot to the people who package intelligence for our shot-callers. They take the bad ideas from there. www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.

The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false.” But it also “almost started a war,” the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.

I was browsing Zillow idly and came across this gorgeous coffee table in an otherwise eh house. Anyone recognize this thing? I know it's a long shot but damn look at it.
It's a really sweet coffee table, I don't know how to describe it or what brand that's sorts the issue. It's got two levels? A square on half of it and rounded on another half. Nice wood. Idk that's about it

Really unclear to me how reliable these numbers are. I'm seeing very different numbers from the tracker and Reuters (source for the g captain article) Reuters says 4 vessels crossed on the 4th, down from a historical norm of 15 gcaptain.com/gulf-shippin... hormuz.data-tracking.net#summaryCards
Four commodity vessels transited the key waterway of the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, down from nine a day earlier and well below the 10-day average tally of about 15, preliminary shipping data showed.

A story in two pictures:
A post on the mildly infuriating subreddit:

My mother tries to substitute anything unhealthy in recipes. It ends up tasting awful.EDIT: Just to clarify, my mother is NOT abusive and she does NOT have an eating disorder. I was just complaining about how strict she was. Please stop commenting stuff like that.

EDIT 2: I was just annoyed I didn't get chocolate mousse when I was promised to. It's rude to assume things about her and me. I just thought other people would share similar experiences and that it would be fun to read.

The USFS said the climbers told them they had used an artificial intelligence platform, YouTube videos and AllTrails to plan the trip. They said they relied on AI to decide what food to bring and how much food and water they would need.

The group said it packed supplies for an eight-hour climb, not its roughly 16-hour ascent. The climbers said AI recommended simple carbohydrates instead of fats because fats “take too long to digest.”

“We relied too much on AI rather than our own critical thinking,” the group told rangers

Is the bipartisan push to get kids off social media less about child safety than it looks? Taylor Lorenz thinks so. On this week’s episode of Mixed Signals, the internet reporter and YouTuber joins Max and Ben to discuss where the actual line is between moral panic and legitimate concern, why she thinks the academic consensus on social media and youth mental health is being drowned out, and her at times surprising anti-anti-AI stance. Plus, how she logs 17 hours of screen time.

After she demanded further payment, according to Sun, he sought out Claude for therapy. The AI told him not to give her the money so he refused.

They should not have had write access, let alone write access that could be found by accident. Artifactory allowed the models to write notes, and then, because all the models were sharing the same Artifactory instance, any OpenAI model in training could, from that point forward, read those notes

bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.
A graph showing how the edsel and Cybertruck both performed based on their sales target and actual year one and year two sales. The edsel was expected to sell 200k units in its first year. It sold slightly over 50k, and less than 50k the next year

The Cybertruck had a sales.target of 250k in its first year. They sold around 40k, the next year they sold about half as many.

perhaps the most fitting memorial ever www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Sergio Furnari, originally from Italy, had hoped the statue of the deceased far-right activist, which he intends to display in Times Square, would raise “millions” of dollars. Instead, he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying they intend to urinate on the sculpture.To add injury to insult, Furnari recently broke his foot working on the statue, after tripping over a roll of tape in his studio.

“Is it cursed? Maybe. I don’t know,” he told the Guardian.

The title of this OregonLive article is, "New Oregon governor poll shows Tina Kotek and Christine Drazan race is far from settled". Wow! Shocking! Must be a pretty reputable poll to make the news, right? Well... oregonlive.com share.google/maFgLvQFR4L6...
Nearly half of survey respondents — 48% — said they would likely or definitely vote for Drazan if the election were held today, compared to 44% for Kotek. The poll was conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, a national Republican-aligned polling firm, and surveyed 600 registered voters across Oregon by telephone between June 22 and 24.The campaign has not shared the exact survey questions or detailed breakdowns of responses, making it difficult to draw independent conclusions about the results. Also, while the poll showed Drazan leading Kotek, the difference was within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

What a foul man.
NEW: Drop Site journalist Ryan Grim has authenticated behind-the-scenes messages showing Politico omitted an important detail from its reporting on how the night began that led to the rape allegations against Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner.

Before publication, a Politico reporter told the Platner campaign that Jenny Racicot, on the night in question, had been “texting [Platner] about needing her glute massaged.” The reporter added, “That detail didn’t make our story.”

Some amazing quotes in this article about how Ford replaced hundreds of engineers with AI, which broke a bunch of shit causing billions in damage and forcing them to rehire those people. www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai...
“Artificial intelligence is a fantastic tool, but it’s only as good as the information you use to train it,” said Charles Poon, Ford’s vice president of vehicle hardware engineering.“Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product.”

SPOILER: I really disagree with this take from The Guardian's review. Kenny is set up as a dopey religious prude, but then proves himself as open-minded and deeply loving and supportive. He does call CPS, because Jinx OD'd on heroin around the baby. share.google/tk7Ng5eynasj...
Here, every punch is carefully pulled. When Jinx learns how his daughter is making her money, he is only briefly shocked, only briefly judgmental – and soon afterwards, sorry and supportive. His and Shyanne’s trajectory is never really in doubt, and the pastor is set up from the start as little more than a vehicle to show the hypocrisies of religion (he’s not as good a guy as the recovering drug addict!).

this is the most boomer-coded article I've read in a long time. Marijuana was commonly associated with popular cultural figures...when I was seventeen. Times have changed. Most kids today probably learned about weed watching their parents hit a vape pen. share.google/z5lxdVPS07n4...
The YouGov poll looked at public opinion on the subjective concept of coolness—with findings that might challenge conventional thinking. When it comes to a wide range of commodities and activities, marijuana stood out as a comparatively lame, falling near the bottom of the cool list despite being commonly associated with popular cultural figures, political movements and lifestyles

In the case of Ms. Barrett's quote, the AI quite literally wore her name and credibility like a skinsuit while lying about actual science in order to fit the requests of a prompter. And that's all Mr. Rosenbaum is now. Not an author, a prompter.
“I would never say ‘emotions aren’t just reactions to the truth’ — they are not reactions and ‘truth’ in science is a complicated concept that I tend to avoid,” Ms. Barrett said. “Also, I would never say that ‘emotional and social signals’ are integrated — there are no emotional or social signals, per se. There are signals, and the brain creates their meaning as emotional or social.”
