our data story visualizing the rabbit hole people can fall into with chatGPT is on the cover of today’s @washingtonpost.com @kevinschaul.bsky.social

The only difference between Grok and all other LLMs is that Grok's outputs are public. They all have these problems.

Political media is severely anti-meritocratic because the way to be "successful" is to produce opinion that's flattering and useful to Money, no matter how comically wrong it's proven to be time and again

POV: you are being bullied for treats

AI defenders can say what they want, but I don't think the child porn factory has a valid use case that justifies its existence, personally. I think "but I don't like writing emails" is a very bad reason to build an industrial scale assembly line for making porn of minors. Sorry if that offends.

I am once again reminding everyone that Hitler wasn't a genius. Hitler led his country to utter ruin. He killed himself in a bunker while his city was demolished by Russian tanks. His corpse was incinerated in a ditch like the garbage it was.

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

Wow. This is one of the most appalling things I've seen in a while on here. Is it a trait that all Labour outriders despise the sick and unwell like this monster?

The commentariat are all saying the same things now. They've coalesced into a confused, baffled blob that doesn't understand why anyone would hate this particular government

Unlike others who've quoted this, I don't think John's so stupid that he doesn't know of the ignoble history of "all my political opponents are mentally ill" statements. He knows what he's doing. This is malicious, not stupid.

why are you giving concessions to zuckerberg, musk and altman? the reason they know they can get away w making CSAM using AI or have LLMs tell your kids to kill themselves is the exact same as why they know they can take every spare drop of water capacity in a desert and tell you to suck their dick

UK govt should end rail outsourcing ‘racket’. Passenger services brought into public ownership in name only. Privatised security and catering suppliers, £150m profits last year. Rolling stock privatised, public purse to pay £3bn+ to lease it. Lucrative rail freight remains privatised.

guarantee it's much worse than they're letting on pulitzercenter.org/resource/how...

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

Also something important to note that this is the software responding to a prompt to write an apology, not a formal apology from X, which I reckon makes it a fair bit worse bsky.app/profile/leah...

Can't get my head around how many games keep getting released for the Megadrive/Genesis, it's the platform that just won't die www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lyq...

Defeating the far right is not only possible, it's straightforward What's depressing is that what it takes is precisely the opposite of what the mainstream elite does: - calling out the far right for what it is - focus on positive ideas - not give any ground www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I said they would run the country like its an internal factional battle within their own party.

Is it hard to understand ? Starmer suffers the same problems that led to to 'Pasokification' across Europe, claiming to offer 'change' but doing continuity centrism instead , and because he did so by lying +attacking his own party , doesn't even have a base of his own to counterbalance attacks

In 2026: Generative AI is not inevitable. You can say no. You can refuse. You can reject the disgusting lukewarm slop that the richest and worst people in the world are trying to force-feed you. You can tell them to eat shit and die mad. You can break the machine

Happy new year from the future (GMT+1)

should start calling the epstein files the trump files.

Now we’ve finally recognised the government has absolutely fucked it, we need to confirm they have *very specifically* fucked it in their pandering to the far right, who need to be relentlessly opposed with everything in the arsenal of democracy. I welcome people recognising this, and joining in.

Bonne apple tea

Joining everybody else in pointing out that there is absolutely nothing "mind boggling" about this. This is exactly what everybody predicted would happen when the Labour party lurched rightwards. Anybody surprised by this, or pretending to be surprised by this, is a moron.

I've waited 3 years to make this post

Update: I emailed the opt-out address listed on their website and got a reply. But, I never. Should. Have. Had. To. Opt. Out. I’m so tired of these tech companies & their entitlement. DoorDash putting small restaurants on their apps w/o permission, AI scraping our sites, & now this? It’s exhausting

Happy to report that those wonderful, beautifully illustrated Magnetic Scrolls text adventures can still be played (online) here: msmemorial.if-legends.org/msa2/msa2.html

Ah yes. These four relentless advocates of neoliberal austerity have nothing in common. It's the voters who are wrong.

Both parties will continue ignoring Americans actual opinions

The AI abomination that's been shoved into these awards is using bots to game the system. Every human reading this needs to sign in and vote against it immediately. This is the thin end of the wedge and we cannot allow these fucking clankers to normalise this shit

The US can cluck off

Having a genuinely progressive and left Jewish leader of a political party really has exposed that our media never cared about antisemitism. It was and is just a cynical ploy to use against the left.

They're all in it together www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

First saw this Canadian short on one of Channel 4's international animation segments when I was 10 or 11 years old. Not sure why I suddenly remembered it and decided to google it, but I'm glad I did. 7 minutes of silliness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJl_...

In case there was any doubt about where big tech stands.

look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

When even the business architects (?) are telling you this, believe them.

By any reasonable historical standard — including that of the technology industry! — ChatGPT should be pulled from the market and its product managers and executives held accountable for creating a product that ROUTINELY tells teens to kill themselves. This is a basic, common sense standard.

In September 2023, Lilian Weng, then Head of "Safety" at OpenAI, used her public Twitter account to announce how ChatGPT could be used as a therapist, and encouraged users to also use it as such.

Keir Starmer was also on the Trilateral Commission.

what a time to be alive!

Maybe it's time to stop blaming kids for going on screens and staying inside and start blaming ourselves for taking their outdoors away from them in all aspects of their life.

It was painfully obvious Crick was right about this at the time. Do we think these questions are not being asked now because a) nobody knows the answers, or because b) everyone knows the answers very well?

While “unalive” is one of the tackiest examples, I’ve seen the Holocaust referred to as “The History,” Hitler as “The Dictator,” and Nazis not at all. Who does that help? It sure as shit doesn’t help critics of nazism, but this is how YTers are speaking out of fear of demonization. Pure newspeak.

Blanket censoring the word “gambling” is literally a pro gambling move. Gambling platforms avoid the word for obvious reasons, so YouTube eliminating its use under the pretense of combating gambling is the best fucking cover a gambling platform could ask for. It’s pretty disgusting.
