No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

I am one of the most NT out of my extended friends group. And my answer is *still* the same as yours: At no time in my conscious memory have I not been… weird is not the descriptor I would use; I’m not that cool. But definitely not normal.

In the 1985 Doctor Who serial Vengeance on Varos, an authoritarian regime run by a weak man keeps the downtrodden population in line by broadcasting public executions to distract from the fact that it has tanked the economy through a combination of incompetence, arrogance and institutional cruelty.

Idle thought that I’ve had multiple times: To what extent would the simple rule of “companies may not own other companies (including stock)” be feasible, and to what extent would it help?

I also never would’ve thought the College of Cardinals would select an American to BE pope. But it looks like they wanted a counterweight to the orange monstrosity and so here we are.

I'm not sure if y'all saw a CNN report on how the US had almost started WW3 with China based on fabricated information generated by a chatbot, claiming that a Chinese vessel was carrying components of nuclear weapons. That was an "existential threat" to humanity www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@ass.golf Today's QC gave me a good chuckle. Other than the art style, it totally could have been from 20 years ago - very old-school QC vibe. :D

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

Faced with Democrats making historic and unambiguous errors and then losing elections, there's a group of people who decided the problem is people failing to clap hard enough. They then conclude the *specific* people letting everyone down is whoever they personally find most annoying on social media

Modular batteries are a great idea (among other things, that solves the recharge-time issue). But I think the right perspective is not that we’re always at *max* design fuel weight, but rather at *min* design fuel weight - since “refilling the tank” as it were costs no mass.

Hybrids are not even a great idea for ground transport. It seems to me they would be actively silly in aircraft - adding all of the mass of an engine and its fuel would massively degrade the performance of the electric powertrain.

I don't think we should trust these companies. 🤷
But while Anthropic was fast to call the cops on a frustrated Claude user, the Standard also reported a key detail: Anthropic refused to show police the actual messages, citing Anthropic’s internal policy. In short, Anthropic reported a user for in-platform speech, and then refused to provide police with evidence of actual wrongdoing.
