totally enthralled by this oven mitt with an onion sitting on it at LAX with the words “2. Keep important medications with you” over it. I took dozens of photos

'expanding access to the Supreme Court--' in no way, shape, or form does using AI to make shit up constitute access! plus we could just put cameras in the courtroom and actually have video of the justices reading their decisions! aaahhh!

what are they on about, apple news pushes the torygraph and the WSJ editorial page more than anything else

Experiments conducted with the Sims are producing fascinating results and raising questions about the nature of selfhood such as “Za Woka Genava?” and “Blursh! Meshaloob! Blursh!”

metagram needs to stop trying to make threads happen. it's not gonna happen

they pissed off the WeRateDogs guy enough from him to break character to directly tell them off, that's genuinely impressive levels of being an asshole

I wonder if this might be an occasion for the judiciary to wrassle down the nonsense that is the concept of an "article I court." An administrator ain't a judge just because they put on a robe.

Look: I like Star Trek Voyager because it understands that sometimes, to paraphrase Tom Servo, you can use time travel to send Bob Saget to meet Charlemagne.

I just cried hell yeah when Janeway and Leonardo da Vinci flew a glider over the alien planet of the los angeles hills

Scholars envisioning a radical progressive future enabled by LLMs.

If the material foundation of “AI” is extraction—from minerals for hardware to the data of users—then the political constellation into which you dream it will still be dictated by that bounding condition.

My team is INSANE. They all brought in food for me as a bribe to have tomorrow off for the Super Bowl and essentially a 3-day weekend because we’re normally off Mondays and Tuesdays. I got homemade fudge, empanadas, Insomnia cookies and a damn sheet cake. 😂😂😂

Never have felt the urge to be a parent. I work in student affairs because I see that as my contribution to the future—as an alloparent who can pick up when parents start to shift into relating to their kids as fellow adults. My calling is helping them decide what kind of adult they want to be

Starfleet Academy has provided the best first five episodes of a series of Star Trek ever. I will literally fight people over it.

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

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

lol this is the most ominous letter I've ever seen in my life.

"you don’t defeat authoritarians by being more reasonable. You defeat them by being more determined and by uniting the country against their most visible vulnerability: their corruption. History won’t judge Democrats on whether they were moderate enough. It will judge them on whether they fought"

This was three weeks ago and people were saying Ganz was being too harsh on him. He wasn't harsh enough apparently!

Presented without comment. I just want everyone here to know. I want you to know what you're looking at the next time you see this guy being interviewed or RTed by an Abundance bro. 1/8

The wokest!

My thoughts are also hugely shaped by my core view that there are important distinctions between writing and AI-assisted (or automation-assisted) document production. I'm 100% focused on what it means to learn to write, not just make texts. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Every single day is some new pleasant thing he just... did. I don't want to hear about how hard it is for dems to do stuff people like ever again

“People for Portland” and “Partnership for Progress” are the lazier versions of this same phenomenon: Wealthy people and corporations pay right wing activists to set up front groups or PACs with grassroots or populous sounding names to do politics and propaganda for the wealthy & powerful.

ORIGINAL SOURCE UNKNOWN Video shared with Eugene-area rabble rousers (i.e.; me) which shows that the window of the Federal Building was broken by someone INSIDE so they could gas the crowd through the opening. Which is NOT who was blamed for the broken window. Nobody mentioned it was ICE/CBP/DHS!

reported an account on Instagram with a screen name that was explicit about destroying an ethnic group with a profile picture that was just two Hs. this apparently does not violate community standards, in case you thought X-the-everything-app was the only Nazi platform.

God forbid a woman have hobbies… 🙄

To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children. Ask yourselves why you continue to work for an agency responsible for murders on American streets.

To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

Lead stories on the network newscasts tonight: --ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT: ICE protests across country, Lemon arrested --NBC NIGHTLY NEWS: Epstein files --CBS EVENING NEWS: Catherine O'Hara dies. ABC and NBC had full stories about the protests+ strike, with reporters filing from MN CBS did not

Very interesting research paper that shows that using AI with programming can significantly reduce mastery over topics. Perhaps unsurprising, but the lack of significant speed gains in this exercise are remarkable www.anthropic.com/research/AI-...

maybe all that drinking from the garden hose and riding bikes without helmets had some consequences
