This is beyond idiotic. Almost anything with a 2.4 GHz antenna and a second data connection can be made to act as a router. I have two old Raspberry Pis acting as routers right now. Almost any smartphone can do it. Insane.

Interesting corollary: similar studies have found that IPV also slightly increases after the home team *wins*, although not nearly as much as after a loss.

part of why ai sucks is that people don't realize that the effort of creation helps make it better. that's why the median ai video is basically an animated boomer comic.

it should be legal and acceptable to tell Nazis to kill themselves

"It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography."

fill your pockets with stones and walk into the ocean

I have thought about this both in Ukraine and in Palestine. Materiel technology is an ever-increasing factor in warfare and its economics, but often not in the way you'd think. Asymmetric combatants can often triumph by exploiting the (necessarily!) much higher costs of more sophisticated weapons.

The leading cause of health disparities in this country, health inequity, is being struck from medical school curricula- this is a sad day for public health and medicine

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

MASSIVE WIN: no one wants to live in the united states anymore

Americans: please help there are literal masked secret police murdering Americans with impunity and everything is unaffordable and why are we at war in the middle east again Democrats:

New in PN: How MMA defines the Trump administration "Everywhere you look in the Republican Party today, you see insecure men trying to show how manly they are. And the performance of manhood to which they are most attracted is violence."

iran has been saying “no end to the war without full reparations and promises of no future conflict” since day 1 and everyone is acting shocked that trump is saying negotiations are happening is just lying lol

The Jetsons lied to us

the first domino to fall in the ai bubble

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

Fuck yeah.

me when the AI bubble bursts

The cybersecurity world relies on the CVE Program to vet and label vulnerabilities. But amid U.S. funding concerns, AI-fueled bug reporting and global fragmentation, the program is teetering on the brink, according to a warning from #RSAC today. My story: www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/cve-pro...

I have to believe that anyone who thinks it's ageist to suggest that an 88-year-old is too old to be a member of congress is someone who has never had to perform elder care

I saw an interesting argument a few weeks ago along these lines (about AI ads specifically) It boils down to the idea that young people see AI as a tool for bullshitting people (teachers, parents, whoever) but they don't want to be on the receiving end of BS, and they're keenly aware when it happens

I think one of my biggest regrets over the years has been not emphasizing enough the connection between anti-trans and anti-gender politics as a function of authoritarian consolidation. Nearly every autocratic country uses anti-gender policies to consolidate power and push boundaries.

thread on some funny/interesting things im finding in the p3 tips dataset (ddosecrets.org/article/blue...) that aren't Quite interesting enough to warrant an actual article (this will be updated as i find things)

anyway OpenAI is a great investment opportunity everyone

Y'all remember Duckman? Well get ready for

oh shit oh fuck I don't have nearly enough Robux to bribe these ICE agents.

But why tho? What will Moonbase Epic Bacon *do*?

LMFAOOOO they said

News is out that ICE being deployed to 13 airports as of this morning (ATL, ORD, CLE, HOU, RSW, MSY, JFK, LGA, EWR, PHL, PHX). If you're concerned about your device being confiscated (especially because of your dissent), we have a list of steps to take. activistchecklist.org/travel Pass it on.

Counterpoint: that one tribe in the Amazon that helped disprove the phonetic basis of universal grammar by showing that they did not attach emotional weight to "happy" versus "sad" melodies in the same way that most of the world does

The realest thing about the film Gattaca is that the brother who is terminally butthurt about not winning at things automatically, despite being supposedly genetically superior, becomes a cop

A woman can win if she doesn't suck shit. Hell, a woman can win even if she does suck shit; look at Margaret Thatcher. Maybe stop supporting candidates who suck shit, would be my advice.

"you've inherited a movie theater--what's your first double feature?"

This is the true purpose of the recent automation push—not to actually streamline anything, but rather to divert accountability and enable a shrug and a sheepish look to be an acceptable response to systematic mass murder.

they won't tho. they'll introduce some milquetoast means tested bullshit and call it a day unless their makeup changes radically.

if you're mad at this post remember it's actually a distraction from the epstein files :(

9 people are facing decades in prison after a July 4 protest outside Prairieland Detention Center was prosecuted as “terrorism” in federal court. The evidence didn’t hold, but the narrative did as prosecutors criminalized ideology. This case sets a precedent everyone should be paying attention to.

The state department is now warning Americans to be careful in the Persian Gulf region
