over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

Normally, I wouldn't, but work paid for this one (just don't tell them that).
It's an update of the still from the Simpsons S10E13, "Homer to the Max" (you know, the Max Power episode) where Home is sitting in his chair nd the guys are crowded into the doorway to watch him.

Well, in this one, seated as the console as Homer is Trump (looking contemplative, as if there's a thought in the man's head), and standing in for Lenny is Canadian PM Mark Carney. The other plant workers have been replaced with foreign dignitaries such as Zelenskyy, Macron, von der Leyden, Modi, Burnham... Anyway the caption remains the same,

"GET READY, EVERYBODY. HE'S ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING STUPID."

It was one of the better episodes, actually.

And yes, I know; the clip was also included in S13E17, "Gump Roast". Sorry for the clip show!

Weedmaster P: Americans can't build a car that stays together or a shoe that costs less than ten thousand dollars but boy howdy we sure can build one hell of an internet huh Jeffrey: Yeah. Jeffrey: America invented the internet because they were afraid Russia would drop bombs on us from outer space. [[A bomb falls]] Weedmaster P: Maybe some hype shit will get made because of the global war on terrors Jeffrey: A vast computer network that believes in "evil", costs a billion dollars an hour and says the same 5 phrases over and over. {{Underneath}} Instead of showing you pictures of cats Internet 5.0 will question your patriotism

To add to this, Chrome now lets you put all your tabs vertically along the edge of the window. So, yes, this is another one of those features I'm going to personally take credit for because my open tabs look more like a To-Do List than ever.

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.
Carney:

"The wildfire situation has escalated significantly over the last three weeks across the country, and particularly in Northwestern Ontario. 

Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their communities, not knowing if their homes will survive.  
 
On behalf of Canadians, I want to thank the brave firefighters, first responders, Indigenous and local leaders who are working tirelessly to keep people safe.
 
Our government is in close contact with provincial, municipal, and Indigenous partners and stands ready to provide any additional support as needed."

Tell me how you really feel, resize2fs man page writer.
A screenshot of text from the man page for resize2fs:

Note: when kilobytes is used above, I mean real, power-of-2 kilobytes, (i.e., 1024 bytes), which some politically correct folks insist should be the stupid-sounding ``kibibytes''. The same holds true for megabytes, also sometimes known as ``mebibytes'', or gigabytes, as the amazingly silly ``gibibytes''. Makes you want to gibber, doesn't it?

I think the neighborhood raccoon has seasonal depression.
Photo of a raccoon behind a chain link gate; he sits on his haunches near a garbage can with a white bucket on top. He looks like his wife left him. He hangs his head in contemplation of what he could have done differently. Maybe he'll try to make a change in his life; his outlook. Maybe she'll come back. Maybe things will go back to the way they were. But for now, he wonders what garbage he might find.
