Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

Glusenkamp Perez really is fucking fascinating. She was on a sick one about apples last week.

oh man I can’t believe the Enhanced Games are actually happening lol. wow I wonder who would win between an insane person who has dedicated their entire adult life relentlessly training to become the most perfect athlete for their chosen sport and a guy who wanted to skip that part

i watched The Mandalorian and Grogu, and reviewed The Mandalorian and Grogu, and let that be the last time i ever need to type those proper nouns. this is as bad as it gets as far as movies are concerned. open.substack.com/pub/capybaro...

It is bizarre that people continue to believe that Israel does not rely upon American goodwill for their military activity when Israeli media itself talks of how DC will "greenlight" a larger operation in Lebanon. Israeli media is more honest than American media in this respect.

if the Vietnam memorial were long enough to include every person killed during the conflict, it would be over four miles long. Happy Memorial Day.

You gotta lock it down fast before she has a chance to check your Wikipedia page

Can’t wait to tell the network execs “sorry, I can’t use AI on this project, I’m Catholic.”

So it’s just a Rube Goldberg bias machine

This is a foundational piece of art for me.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

This is blatantly ToS-violating hate speech. It would be an insta-ban to speak about _any_ other minority group this way.

your late 20s are genuinely hilarious because you start them feeling the dread of your "20s reaching an end" and then you end up realizing the whole concept of the 20s/30s distinction is meaningless and your 30s are a kind of freedom

One of the oddest side effects of recent Google updates is that article stubs have started using comments in summaries instead of the lede. And this is very, very bad.

I have been thinking a lot about the dozens of people ICE has sent to what is now the Ebola outbreak zone, especially Adriana Zapata, and I really appreciate @melodyschreiber.com reporting this out. 🙏🙏🙏

Happy Saturday, I’ve unexpectedly gotten myself deep into a Dabke wormhole so I figured I might as well share some of the bounty

Their presence in occupied territory violates international law, everyone on the planet agrees to this fact, and yet there has up until recently been exactly zero international consequences imposed. The Americans and Europe have spent decades "condemning" and then supporting it.

@mayor.nyc.gov: “I have thought often of the "Margeret Thatcher quote: ‘the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.’ If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

A professor at Tel Aviv University Law School says the obvious: a ban on any trade with settler goods and services will inevitably transform into a broader problem because Israel is enmeshed in the settlements and vice versa, and the Israelis take great effort to obscure any differences.

Me and my pals having a Miller Lite because it’s the anecdote to the decadence of a professional class that constantly chases novel gustatory experiences and has come to confuse this empty, hedonistic quest with being cultured.

Democrats who can sell "your life will get worse and I don't care, vote for me anyway" are incredibly rare, and the combination of Obama and (Bill) Clinton made it look possible, even easy. But lightning isn't going to strike a third time.

I got a crazy fucking response

jesus fucking christ lmao

There is something desperately sad about people who fall in love with AI because there’s other people falling in love with AI that are dealing with the same loneliness and you both could probably love each other instead and get a Hulu account, the endpoint of all heterosexual relationships

I want to see all the cis people that claim to support us to really show us this time. We really, really need y'all to stand up and defend our rights, now.
