Pope, would you please shut the fuck up about matters you do not understand? You're not an Ai influencer, no one elected you, and you have absolutely no weight in this debate and you're being used as a mouthpiece to sway public opinion. how many local models do you run?

It's becoming clear the LOL/Bryson were *wildly* over optimistic about the amount of support they'd get from loyalist paramilitaries, or the broader Orange Lodge network and the protestant community in Portadown. Nor did they expect the cross community support for the GRRC protest.

Imagine being this disconnected from humanity and the collective human experience. Imagine thinking that art is only about your subjective consumption and not the connection with another soul, experience, time, or place. Imagine speaking and only hearing your own echo. Imagine being this cunt.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.

Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

Original written script re the Ducas Folklore Collection

Tthe Ducas Folklore Collection: There was once a man living in Ormsby's of Ballinmore. He was called Black Anthony because he was very mean to people. After his death the priest said from the Alter that Black Anthony was burning in chains of fire in Hell. Then Ormsby heard it and he invited the Priest to his house.
The Priest cam an Ormsby asked him how did he know that Black Anthony was burning in chains of fire in Hell. The Priest started reading out of a book and while he was reading Black Anthony came and sat beside him burning in chains of fire. The Priest said to Ormsby he is there now and put him out of it if you are able. Ormsby had to shut the door then and it is never opened since that.

Meet the First New Cat Species Discovered in 100 Years

A small, spotted tiger cat from Bolivia may just be the beginning of a wave of new small cat species.

This 10-year-old male tiger cat is the first of his species (named Leopardus tilcayo) known to science. He is approximately 18 inches from head to end of body and weighs only 3 pounds, making him smaller than the average domestic cat. This video was captured at the Senda Verde Animal Refuge in Bolivia’s Yungas region, where he currently resides.
