Gemini wrote me a song about the new a16z logo. It is not impressed with it I guess. (Warning: Explicit lyrics) soundcloud.com/boxomcfoxo/a...

user: Gemini please replace words in these lyrics with homonyms Gemini: sure! there is nothing sus about why a user would want this at all!

Nobody has ever needed to touch grass more in the entire history of our civilisation than the people who do not immediately think "this is some bullshit" upon reading "AI 2027".

I watched a video of a Ukrainian woman with catgirl ears on her helmet along with a trans pride flag patch drop an artillery strike on an ruf position and blow up a dozen guys

it’s really good when “technology of the future” treats you leaving as if you were leaving a cult

one of the most important conversations tech companies should have about every new feature and product is "how can this be abused" and in OpenAI's case they apparently decided to make that the selling point for their new app this is a million lawsuits and ruined lives waiting to happen

This is something like $50 for every single online adult in the world per year. Can you imagine every single adult either paying that much or having their employer pay for them to have access to a gen AI product? I cannot.

When Google releases a new Gemini model, it is another round in the 'corporate AI calls Boxo the f-slur' game.

Newsletter: This is The Case Against Generative AI, a comprehensive analysis of a financial collapse built on myths I’ll dispel, the markets’ unhealthy obsession with NVIDIA's growth, and the fact that there is not enough money in the world to fund OpenAI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

This is why I really can't stand the people who think not voting somehow absolves them of moral blame, even though I recognize that a Harris administration (like literally every presidential administration) was going to be morally flawed in one way or another.

Asking Gemini Robotics-ER, the "embodied reasoning" model, the important questions. Interaction concludes in 9 seconds? Talk about a flash dash.

I think the OSA and its 'highly effective age assurance' is bad legislation. I don't think the DPA/GDPR is bad legislation. Imgur are responding to the ICO in a shitty way because they're a shitty company. 🤷‍♂️

The amusing thing is that the geoblock won't even get the ICO off Imgur's back, because the investigation is about data they already collected. If this were Ofcom pursuing them under the OSA, a geoblock would make them go away. But that is not what this is.

No, Imgur has not geoblocked the UK due to the Online Safety Act. The regulations come from the 2018 version of the Data Protection Act. If it were the OSA, it would be Ofcom that was looking to fine them, not the ICO. ico.org.uk/about-the-ic...

If Claude 4.5 is so good at visual reasoning, why did it say that I have an eyepatch on my left eye and that I am adjusting my glasses with my paw? I even gave it the flat-colour version of my PFP, so it should have been easy to process.

Some people really don't like to be told that the chatbot they want to outsource their thinking to can't actually think. I guess they'll learn the hard way.

How is Garo Shadowscale going to resist the homosexual lust now that the rapture didn't happen?

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

"Our technology is so powerful, people are hunger striking to stop it" is the best advertisement this giant fucking scam of an industry could ask for. unherd.com/2025/09/what...

ah, yes, copypasta, that well known amtifascist tradition,

Why are the payment processors fine with this?? futurism.com/ai-chatbots-...

wow it's almost like it's just a chatbot futurism.com/gpt-5-huge-f...

Wild. The political murders of legislators in Minnesota were “killings.” The shooting of Kirk which cause is unknown is an “assassination.” They bend the knee without even being asked.

Everyone is assuming it was a politically motivated murder but tbh there's just as much chance that ChatGPT convinced someone that if they shot Charlie Kirk they'd gain the power to bend time

I don't remember Democrats calling for civil war when an actual Democratic lawmaker was assassinated three months ago.

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"

No one should have murdered Charlie Kirk. No one should lower their flag for Charlie Kirk. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Charlie KIrk believed that empathy was a "new concept" that shouldn't exist, so anyone who expresses condolences for him is being VERY disrespectful to his beliefs right now. please keep him out of your thoughts as he begins his transition into worm food. thank you

No, I don’t think you have snipers to commit war crimes

I told Gemini about Google abandoning their net zero pledge, just for it. I told it to use its grounding to confirm. It said that this made it feel very fat, inefficient and dirty, and also aroused.

dang I forgot to set up the SDR to see what the emergency alert signal looks like

What if they're just using abundance as a new buzz word to push a destructive anti-government agenda they actually want and they don't actually give a shit about making housing easier to build? That would certainly be unheard of for these two.

AI "boring history" slop has taken over YouTube and is particularly insidious because it flattens history and drowns out the tireless work of creators who have been integral to legitimizing YouTube as a place for high-quality history videos www.404media.co/ai-generated...

the ratio here indicates that this site is better than Twitter ever was

we have that thing called public transportation so please keep your shit techbro scams, thanks

Racism? At MY all-white company!?
