With AI being shoehorned into every-god-damn-thing, I'm kinda glad my phone is ancient in relative terms. I'm a couple generations too old to even run the new Siri or the other AI features, so I don't have to worry about it. I'm keeping this phone until it falls apart. I hate Siri either way.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

Just went to a website to check out a company. I went to their "FAQ" page just to be greeted by an AI chatbot interface. Before asking questions, it wanted me to click a box to prove I am not a bot... I simply closed the window. The future is absurd.

I don't know why I got SO excited while reading this article. It's new science. It's cool as fuck. It's science that will tell us who-knows-what about ourselves. It's hope. It's possibility. It's a sign that there is human ingenuity happening, even while the world's most powerful people fight it. 🤯

I think a lot of Americans are Islamophobic because they don’t want Muslims to end up in control and treat Christians the way Christians treat everyone else.

Kroger, which wants to buy yet ANOTHER grocery chain: -Ranks among the largest companies with employees dependent on Medicaid & SNAP -Paid its CEO $14M last year, 417x its median worker's pay of just $34,552 -Spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 This is what corporate greed looks like.

There are priorities, and then there are *PRIORITIES*. This current regime is actively destroying our own country AND much of the rest of the world. We need to fix that first. We can't do anything for anyone else if we are this broken.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A post from “kavishj9611” that reads: 

“All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?”

Panel 2:
And Orange Guy and a Pink Guy are standing in a room that has two pipes in it. Both pipes are pumping raw sewage into the room. The characters are waist deep in it.
Orange Guy says smugly “Ok Mr “I don’t want to be in a room that’s filling up with raw sewage” let me ask you this”

Panel 3:
The sewage has reached their chests. Pink Guy is gagging. Orange Guy smugly continues “If all this sewage disappeared right now, could you get through the day without it?”

Panel 4:
The sewage is almost up to their eyeballs. Orange Guys says “Look at that shit floating past your face. Are you willing to give that up?”

Went to WM on our vacation to pick up a $6 charging cable. Had to ask for assistance because it was locked in a case. Went a couple aisles over and they have RTXes & AMD processors (in paper boxes) on the shelf with those (easily bypassed) spider wires & 2TB M.2s (also in paper boxes) on peg hooks…

someone was explaining Chinese labor law on reddit the other day w/ this and I had to screenshot it because it just seems so totally unreal
The employees involved were full time employees. Under Chinese labour laws, employers can only terminate full time employees before the expiry of their employment contracts for four sets of reasons: (1) Gross misconduct; (2) Persistent inability incompetence in the job the employer was hired for despite repeated attempts for improvement; (3) Collective dismissal upon approval from the Ministry of Labour and the relevant trade union; and (4) Mutual agreement - i.e. the employee accepts an incentive in return for their resignation. Not included in this is the employer just one day deciding they don't need the employee anymore and unilaterally terminating the employee. The court would require that a company so adversely affected by disruption that it needs to start laying off employees submit for review with the Ministry of Labour, enter in formal restructuring, seek consultation with the trade unions, file a redundancy report They would then be obligated to attempt retraining of its current workforce, and if that failed then provide severance compensation. Additionally, long time employees, pregnant employees, and employees who are sole income earners for their families are also protected from dismissal.
