AI, it’s technology, for stupid people.

If you fell for this you have to mail me your devices for a year sorry

watching 1989 le mans i love these f zero ass cars

This just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how to do news. Data helps, but data doesn’t tell a reporter to spend a years-long investigation into child labor or an editor to place staff in a country on the brink of war. What exactly does Bezos think WaPo’s “journalistic mission” is?

This is the best idea I have ever heard

Attention VCs: For $20k I will spend 20 minutes with a CEO you're thinking about investing with and tell you if their idea is stupid. For an additional $10k, I will tell you if they are personally stupid.

Wow, first the metaverse and NFTs and now this. I can't believe this keeps happening with all these expensive products that don't do anything. futurism.com/artificial-i...

I wrote about how the women Epstein and co victimized have been minimized and ignored as individuals even in popular discourse about the very abuse they endured—and how the legal system has punished them and other women, not helped them, for daring to come forward. spitfirenews.com/p/even-the-m...

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

This shit is totally insane. These companies refuse to discuss actual AI revenue and it’s very clearly not making any profit. Is the plan to just spunk a trillion dollars each?

New Tired. Two episodes, one public, one Patreon, and that's right: SHE'S BACK. www.patreon.com/posts/149889... We do a little 24 Hours of Daytona recap up front, then welcome @victoriascott.bsky.social back on the pod to talk about @trangirlismo.bsky.social and more. BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE...

It's not "the partisan press is the enemy of the government when it's controlled by the opposing party," it's "the government considers reporting truth to be a hostile act and will therefore treat journalists and protesters indistinguishably."

A lot of people are surprised at how stupid our rulers seem in the Epstein emails but then you look at how they think bari weiss and elon musk and david brooks are super smart…

In memory of the great writer Dan McQuade, I wrote about how we spent about fifteen years sending each other really stupid press release quotes. I'll miss him.

how cool!

Some normie country should be actively operation paperclipping Americans with valuable skills right now. (They should do it to me, in addition to the people with skills.)

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

If you’re racing curious, this is maybe the best time ever to get into sports cars. Check out this comprehensive IMSA preview from Peter Hughes: alloymag.com/endurance-ra...

american car reviews love saying stuff like "this petite little number is likely to prove competitive in the compact SUV market with its svelte 141 inch wheelbase and its lilliputian seating for 9"

incredible stuff

woof.

This could also easily be wrong and lead people to buy and fit the wrong tires, a mistake that can cause deadly mishaps for the driver, occupants, and anyone else who might be around. Just check the OEM materials yourself. They are not hard to find.

Every single time these people somehow believe that the rest of the AI industry just keeps on trucking if OpenAI dies! Do you think this bullshit keeps spinning without its literal biggest and best-known player with the most users?

Rugrats is about how a child world is a Kafkaesque labyrinth of wonder to get lost in and Rocko’s Modern Life is about how the adult world is a Kafkaesque labyrinth of pain to get trapped in. Both have a good episode thats set at a movie theater.

I wonder what percentage of new tech products/initiatives would be approved by the public if that was a requirement. Or like, could you get anyone to say they want any of this stuff?

This is going to be Diplomat Luxobarge Week over at @alloymag.bsky.social including the armored variety.

Like @alloymag.bsky.social said in their IG post: “Everything feels bad. Let’s take a second to do something good”. Some background in the story from @rorycarroll.bsky.social & Dalal Elsheikh, and a link in the article to the Sudanese-American Physicians Association donation page

bringing a battlebot to ces and watching it utterly destroy all the humanoid bots. flipping them over, bashing with hammers, flamethrower, etc

All the robots that fall down and don’t work at CES this year are proof you should not build something in the image of a man. Biblical hubris. Robots should look like Battlebots, do one thing poorly for the first ten years and then sorta get good, like vacuum robots.

Notable that the Minnesota thing is apparently not seen as a political liability ahead of the midterms.
