I think one of the greatest losses of social media is no one knows how to muse anymore. You can't surface a curiosity without someone citing a fucking podcast, reel or youtube video. Rich thought is subsidized by "smart content I agree with". Everyone just reverberates the media they follow

Parenting teens I think "teaching responsibility" in conventional terms just means teaching obedience to *this* system, which is of course rotten and stupid and I won't stand for it

This plus invoking the notwithstanding clause twice in the past 2 months against teachers and trans people, launching an Americanized health care system and enacting a law called "The Jordan Peterson Law"(???)...

I want to live long enough to see the historical fiction based on this era it's gonna be soooo stupid

Don't want to read the news but too addicted the emotional roller coaster to stop? Our AI companions will feed you terrible facts 24/7, impersonating family, friends, even your boss! You don't have to experience daily waves of despair and manic glee alone, join FeelSomething right fuckin now

Has anyone done a gag yet where a spy is slipping through a hall of lasers but then a cat busts in to chase the lasers

A diy renovation reel where they put their hand in front of the camera and then reveal the results which is everything on fire

"Democracy is dying in the West because it has been overtaken by a caste of professionals, politicians and technocrats, for whom democracy is a slogan, a contest, a source of legitimacy in an instrumental sense, but not an idea or ideal they respect or aspire to."

GenAI is crime tech in every way

AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail

While Canadian politicians are still caught up in their AI love affair, panic is rippling through the industry. Tech expert @scanthehorizon.bsky.social writes that the AI bubble may be about to burst, with massively damaging consequences for Canadians. breachmedia.ca/ai-bubble-ma...

"Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: 'Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.'" bro what-- what are we doing here, exactly, how can you--anyone be okay with this?

Might not be tomorrow, but it will happen. See: 3/3 ca.investing.com/news/stock-m...

I left Alberta for a lot of reasons: ideological brainrot in all corners, a Christian Nationalist coup at the provincial helm, bonkers cost of living, shitty air quality (fully normalized), rampant industrial pollution, ballooning disparity... but it was water that triggered "fuck this I'm out" >

The premise of Pluribus is very good but Carol is such an American Karen, just keeps demanding to speak to the manager so she can yell at them, even when the outcome of her behaviour is horrifying. Girl regulate your shit and go do some sleuthing, get out of your own ass

Quite funny and horrendous that the primary and most valuable application of genAI is for doing crime

I think the smartest thing progressive political comms campaigns could do over the next year is embrace the term "socialist". Rabid capitalists have used "socialism" as a boogeyman long enough that the term has strong emotional leverage, especially now. Let's get some revisions goin

Alberta Data Centres-Electricity?Water? “…37 remaining data centre proposals…to now either bring their own power generation plans off-grid or wait for AB’s grid to catch up to demand…one expert says,will likely take several years” #ableg #abpoli #yeg #yyc #abenviro www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

as we saw with Elon Musk, observe how the prominent pundits at the forefront of building up unrealistic tech mythologies pivot immediately on a dime to pretend they wisely warned you of trouble the whole time

My chair matches theirs lol

As an evening person (not a night owl, different type) I fckin love it when "evening" starts around 5pm like hell yes I am a deer mouse wearing wool socks and an apron and it's time to bake cookies again

NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials. “Google wanted to ‘not be evil’ back in the day. Well, they're evil now."

"Oh you're gifted? Name 5 gifts"

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Perfect time to start a solar flare cult who's in www.livescience.com/space/the-su...

American Democrats can't confront that reality because it would mean surrendering the power & status granted to them as members of a court of oligarchs long disguised as a democratic House. They have no idea how to work outside of that paradigm.

I made wine from grapes in my yard and now I can't stop having wine

I think @damonberes.com nailed this one: Social media is not social anymore, and with the pivot to AI, companies that build social media are building something that is isolating us even more www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Love to see the chipper AI hype newsletter I've followed since Feb changing its tune to content like "🤕 The perils of building on borrowed AI" and "developers beware" and "model lifecycles pose risks" while still trying to hype "NVIDIA-accelerated workloads" as if that's even a thing

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Finally finished my dang living room (a couple last touches to go). This was a gut job, first time I've ever finished a room floor to ceiling! Very fun, very tired.

Was anyone going to tell me there are 40 pairs of free-floating planets moving through space together in the Orion Nebula or was I just supposed to figure it out myself www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/m...

Pumpkin carving is such a funny morbid tradition like hey kids it's time to pretend to stab heads

1. A watershed moment. The President of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, Kevin Roberts , has announced that the organization is standing by Tucker Carlson in the aftermath of Tucker’s interview with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes. This isn’t Kevin bending his knee to Trump…this is something new

Actually wait... "They were able to influence and override the 'natural' impulses produced by the fungi, demonstrating an ability to harness..." What were the natural impulses of the fungi?? WHAT DID THE FUNGI WANT TO DO www.sciencealert.com/engineers-ga...

I keep a facebook account for my business and I use a fake name, have no friends likes or interests and I use this profile pic and a hero image of the California Raisins saying "congraturaisins", and I'm only just realizing that might be why people on marketplace are reluctant to talk to me
