its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

AI filmmaking is completely unserious. You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

It's been brutally cold here, but it's warmed up just enough to alert us to bats in the bedroom wall as they squeak and scratch their way around. They're protected, so we're neighbors until we can evict them in the spring, lol, joy.

For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now. www.themountaineer.com/news/no-cryp...

Facebook just took my girlfriend's profile photo with both of us in it and presented AI generated videos of us together without consent in any way shape or form. Unbelievably pissed off, what the fuck.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

I frequent my local used book store and buy books even when I don't need them because my kink is supporting small businesses, especially those that deal in art and literature.

wild AI story from the Olympics ice dancers were told to use songs "in the style of the 1990s." One Czech pair tried using AI to pump out a song to skate to, but their AI bot fully plagiarized "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals and they had to change it sports.beehiiv.com/p/olympics-d...

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Me checking to see if you've watched Mad God yet.

Soon to be consolidated into a single service.

the most impactful thing Elon Musk has ever done or will ever do regarding science and innovation in this country is illegally cut billions of dollars of research funds for literally no reason

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Blue cheese is a medieval prank that backfired and we're still paying for it today, no one can convince me otherwise.

Lol, you'd never guess in a million years what the video is.

Every American needs to watch this:

One of the cool things about crypto is there's no market close, so you can watch Bitcoin crash in real time at all hours.

I wanna keep doing this work, in any form (podcast! newsletter! movie? AI literacy class!). Pls msg me on Signal at nitasha.10 if you need someone who’s well-sourced in AI & SV, worked hard to understand the technology + ideas + players, cares about getting it right and informing the public

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

He just tweeted it out …

With a big enough lens and adequate megapixels, almost every portrait contains a self portrait of sorts.

Artists and animators did this, congrats. I still would absolutely never trust Adobe as a company, but this is a win nonetheless.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was phenomenal, I'm so bummed the box office on it has been so weak, I really hope people come around to it, because the arc between 28 Years Later and the Bone Temple is really something special, and Ralph Fiennes is just the best.

I'm finally messing with Affinity as a way to ditch Adobe, and it's got some pretty awesome features that make Photoshop feel unbelievably dated. People who use it, anything important to know? Pitfalls? Issues? Cool features? Recommendations on transitioning?

If you've seen Friendship.

This guy can’t stop getting W’s

Some light reading for the dark times.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

ICE is converting warehouses into concentration camps, but the media would like you to call them detention centers, please.

looks like shit.

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

In honor of Greg Bovino's demotion.

Anyone remember pogs.

Nintendo, you know what to do.

I instantly lose respect for celebrities who shill for gambling apps and casinos. There are better ways to make money than facilitating the financial ruin of your fans.

Saw this on YouTube. Nice.

I'm an atheist, but I believe in hell for ICE specifically.

We've caught what I believe to be the same mouse 4 times in 3 days. He somehow escaped from the cage the 3rd go and we caught him again 6 hours later, lol. We haven't had the heart to take him further than our shed because it's insanely cold out, but we finally took him to a park. Godspeed buddy.

We're gunna need a new type of rehab for Ai-ddicts.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

Time to spend one zillion dollars at DreamHaven Books!!! I buy almost all my new giant art books and pulpy used books from them. Also I secretly sign books there whenever I stop in for a treat.

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps
