I can't believe Fox News is doing the right thing in this instance. They don't do that.

The only press coverage Trump should get right now is coverage of how he's banning the press. Nothing else. None of what he wants them to talk about. Just coverage of his anti-American, anti-first amendment authoritarianism. Then go back to covering the results of his disastrous policies.

The only thing out of Dems’ mouths for the next six weeks should be: Donald Trump single-handedly drove up gas prices by starting a senseless war, and it will only get worse if you re-elect Republicans

Admirable clarity @science.org
The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story

ChatGPT not letting you emulate specific authors anymore
Prompting
Join
I've been writing my book for several months now, paid for a more advanced model. Took a break. Came back.
Now Ms. GPT says she can't generate content in the style of specific authors. My prompts were soooo specific and I got exactly what I wanted out of them. For example,
'rewrite in the literary style of 'author here' with abundant dialogue and detail avoiding staccato prose. That was my go-to. Or 'please write and flesh out in the style of
'author' etc. they tightened the ropes. I have no idea how to get around this other than maybe feed it prose I already edited that's technically mine? Fuck.

Thought we didn’t have money in the USA for healthcare. Yet the Defense Department’s latest estimate puts the cost of the war with Iran at $37.5 billion. Funny how we’re always told we can’t afford to invest in people’s health, but somehow tens of billions of dollars for war can be found.

Generative AI is an attempt by tech bros to own our voices, our experiences, our creativity, our hard work. They want to feed our creative efforts into a machine so that they can profit off of it. AI art is hollow and soulless and without human intention.

In the United States, solar energy is outpacing coal for the first time ever
It now provides more than twice the share of electricity that it did five years ago.

I love it when I come across an insightful video on film (and games) that features a movie I just recently watched. The movie in question is Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. It does not feature prominently in this, but is there nonetheless.

2 panel comic

Panel 1 is titled “Journalist logs into Twitter”
Image shows a Pink Guy performing a high jump. He easily sails over a tall barrier that says “Racism, Nazis, Homophobia, CSAM and Bigotry”. He smiles and waves at the reader.

Panel 2 is titled “Journalist logs into BlueSky”
The Pink Guy is doing the high jump again, however, this time, a much smaller barrier just says “Smugness”. The Pink Guy is clinging to the barrier, trying to hook his leg over it. He yells “Hnnngh I CAN’T GET OVER IT”
