Exhibit 20331 that Ai is in a death spiral. Ai companies selling Ai product while burying the fact that it's Ai in the FAQ and not mentioning it anywhere else.

Since my post about scientific methodology escaped containment: There's a different between "is X true?" and "does this study show X?". That difference turns out to be critically important for science. We undermine the power of science when we use false premises to argue for true conclusions.

Speaking of Widow’s Bay and Below, if you like isolated small town horror-thrillers, this is one of the best I’ve ever seen — amazing cast and writing. Still need to watch second and other seasons.

I’ve been watching clips of Anne Carson pop up on my feed. She is the Canadian author who was just awarded the Nobel for literature. In every single clip, she exudes a dark and nasty aura. Am I missing something here?

If you've note seen Penny Dreadful, you're missing out on a should not exist it's too perfect: the cast is something I'd dream up knowing it would never happen, the interweaving of horror classics is so clever, and the writing is stunning. 1 of the best on-screen depictions of Frankenstein's monster

Context. I want to know what movie this screenshot is from. Search function. Shows up when I’m looking for something specific, even if the keywords aren’t in the body text. Jokes and memes. Some people add that in alt text alongside context. Attribution. Just think of them like captions.

In western Europe and America you get a protective police escort if you're far right weirdos who want to ethnically cleanse your country, but if you have a march that's against genocide and ethnic cleansing you're going to catch a beating.

I admit I was wrong here. ICE allows chains on kids as young as 12 👀 "If it is necessary to restrain a minor, always consider size, age, gender, and cognitive ability when considering the type of approved restraints to apply. Minors under 12 years of age will never be placed in full restraints."

Another comedian has had their materials stolen by AI on social media. It is fuck annoying that social media apps don’t have a way to report AI theft or deception; like identity theft and fraud don’t properly capture what those accounts are doing.

Dear god, Rockstar not only of course have perhaps the best proprietary engine ever made for GTA 6, but a patent on their ragdoll physics? Apparently, it's the most advanced real-time ragdoll engine currently.

One benefit from AI slop has been my genuine adoration for non-artistic people making shitty graphics and signs that say "I will never use AI even tho this took longer and looks a bit shit". Y'all rock.
