Since this news source no longer acts like one—never gives source info, dates, etc on its posts, and just posts free-floating clickbait and ragebait—I really wish folks would stop sharing it.

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

NFL’s New Overtime Rules

- First possession per team
- Which comes first: score or possession
- If coin flip is heads, elect to kick or receive. Same if tails, once possessions
- If a field goal is kicked on first possession, team on field must acquiesce

There was a reason why I was against Microsoft buying Activision and to find out the person responsible for selling it to MS happens to be on the newly illegal Skydance board...What a shock. Nothing but the worse people right,No wonder why they want Skydance condemned.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Probably THE most persuasive tool we have as Video Essayists is using ourselves as the uncomfortable example The fact that in 10 years he never made a video about this "life-changing rehabilitation," a thing many young people NEED to learn about, in my mind makes his work cowardly & self-serving 💁

"It's so good you can't even tell it's AI!" 1) No it isn't 2) Yes you can 3) Even if it was good the very fact you say "you can't even tell" means that if people did know they'd react in a different manner, meaning the entire enterprise relies on deceit.

Your favorite Anthropic so-called "whistleblower" said that the rationalists have "specialized minds" that allow them to see that the end is about to be brought on to us by a magical machine god. Parroting the cult leader (of the rationalists, the R in TESCREAL) who says the same about himself.

His autobiography even opens with a parable: as a small child he threw his favorite squirtgun off a third-floor balcony rather than accept that his mother could lend out what was his, and felt complete when he heard it hit the pavement. He goes on to describes himself as a specialist in the technological transformation of the human species, one of the few people alive with the standing to steer it. He identifies with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the one person who sees the danger clearly and has to act while everyone else gets on with ordinary life.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

I also believe in restorative justice but I don't think that means you get to become a pillar of a community and garner an audience and an income that relies solely on everyone including yourself staying silent about your actions. In the VIDEO GAME SPHERE no less.

Say it louder for those in the back. This is especially important in entertainment where predators can abuse parasocial behavior and harass others behind closed doors and often end up getting away with it if someone protecting them choses to "make it all go away" for business.

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!

A running trend throughout the history of InfoWars is whenever Alex Jones watched a new movie he liked, his conspiracy narrative would noticeably shift to be a lot like the plot of that movie. He has a hard time keeping fiction and reality separated. Onion InfoWars has genuinely fucked with him.

make no mistake: anyone telling you AI is “just like the dot com bubble” or “just like Amazon web services or uber” is beyond misinformed, verging into the realms of actually wanting to know less about the world. It means they have never actually looked at any of the numbers. Or they can’t count.

Do you know how much planning goes into statue placement? How much time these things take to commission? This thing isn't even obeying the laws of physics in regards to how light bounces off metal. The shoes are a completely different texture from the rest of the "statue". It's all over the place.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.
