"Pretty soon AI will be able to make entire movies" Motherfucker AI can't even figure out where to place ads in a YouTube video. Not even on posts of traditional broadcast content that still has the intros and outros for fucking ad breaks.

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

The current interpretation of handball is fucking stupid. That’s a handball. End of. Shouldn’t make a damn difference whether the subsequent shot was on target. Play would’ve stopped if the ref had bothered to see it as it happened.

When the Gatlinburg Wildfires happened in 2016, Dolly gave impacted families $1,000/month to help them get back on their feet. This included my father-in-law, who lost everything in the fire. Dolly gave children in TN free books each month, from birth to the age of five. She was a goddamn saint.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Suggestion: never concede that "A.i." writing is "polished" because it might be grammatical. "Polish" isn't about grammar. It's about ensuring that each sentence and word plays an essential role in forming a coherent argument or effect. The repetitive blandness of "A.i." writing has zero polish.

To be clear. I wish he hadn’t gone. I don’t like the whole superagent thing. I wish he had gone abroad if he was going to leave and it really smarts. But I think there’s a lot of hypocrisy and pretty childish nastiness on display.

Aug 3rd 2032 - In exactly 6 years time, criminal Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) will be thawed out at the California Cryo-Penitentiary for a parole hearing 📽️📅 Demolition Man (1993)
3 Screenshots from the move "Demolition Man" (1993): First, a close-up of a frosted-over, blue digital display on a piece of equipment, showing the date 'AUG 03 2032'. Second, a scene in a futuristic cryogenic facility where a man is suspended inside a large, transparent cylindrical tube, while two officials in dark uniforms observe from a catwalk in the background. Third, a medium shot of Simon Phoenix, played by Wesley Snipes, with bleached blond hair, sitting in a metallic restraint chair and staring intently forward, flanked by two guards in light blue jackets.

Why is everything so transparently evil now?
"Print books from the pre-LLM era are structurally guaranteed to be free of this contamination. That alone is a significant advantage," it explains in an article on its website, as quoted by
404. "Physical books published before this date [pre-2022] are structurally clean of modern poisoning tools."
Once focused on helping libraries, distributors, and book shops find and sell books, ISBNdb now helps Al companies bulk-buy anywhere between 1,000 to one million books per order, according to 404.
