I think you can tell these people are unserious because it's never "acknowledge our machines are conscious so we can give them self-determination/rights/pay." There never seems to be a call to action other than "give us less oversight and more money"

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

these AI hallucinations are out of control
a google search for: "what song is the band playing when violet first goes to the bar in coyote ugly and meets the line cook"

and an ai suggested answer of: "When Violet first walks into the club trying to pitch her demo tape and meets Kevin (who pretends to be the manager, but is actually a line cook), the band on stage is performing the song "That's Me" by Tara MacLean. Are you looking for another song from the Coyote Ugly soundtrack, or perhaps the title of a specific track Violet sings later in the movie?"

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a man sitting at a restaurant table. He is sweating. He says "Y-you have beautiful eyes".
The second panel zooms in on the man's face. He says, "I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous."
In panel three we see that a biblically accurate angel is sitting on the other side of the table.
In panel four we zoom in on the angel's face, who says "BE NOT AFRAID".

Pause AI in BC Schools @aicaution.ca · 10/09/2026
The data from this OECD PISA report is damning. "students who do not use AI outperform those who do, ... equivalent to being around one year of schooling ahead of their peers." www.oecd.org/en/publicati...
Graph showing students who never use AI scoring 505 on a "draft texts for writing assignments" task. As students use AI more, the score goes down, until students who use it daily score 480.

Sep 2nd 1885 - Marty McFly arrives back in 1885, after buying some authentic clothes to blend in. 📽️📅 Back to the Future Part III (1990)
2 Screenshots from the move "Back to the Future Part III" (1990): First, Doc Brown sits in the driver's seat of the DeLorean time machine at a desert drive-in theater, while Marty McFly, dressed in a flamboyant cowboy outfit, leans in through the open gull-wing door. Second, a close-up of the DeLorean's time circuits shows the destination time set to "SEP 02 1885" in bright red digital numbers.

We are told to ignore the racism of Hegel, Kant, Locke etc because they were just "men of their time". So what do we do with the racism of current academics? Are they too just "men of their time"? What is this "time" that seems to make racists of men?

Writing for trade, and having constant events has hurt the X-Men more than probably any other team comic, because it eliminates danger room, baseball, just going for a beer or having dance class stuff and the x-men THRIVE as a soap opera first, fightyfight second.

Today's pressing Boston history question: Back Bay side streets are in alphabetical order, named after British lords and alternate between 3 and 2 syllables. But after Fairfield comes Gloucester. Um, what? Did 19th-century Bostonians pronounce "Gloucester" differently?
