You know what? To hell with being circumspect. @sfwa.org is saying it’s perfectly fine to use the plagiarism machine *”trained” on work stolen from its dues-paying members* to qualify for a Nebula, and that it in fact encourages doing so. This is utterly shameful.

They won’t change the names on all these places or un-destroy the institutions because “that’s just how things are now and we have to move forward, not look back” when they ever get power back

Gosh whatever happened to the Horny Sweeper franchise

And this is exactly the reason why there should be a professional ethics framework agreed with urgency for #gen-AI, in particular photo-realistic stuff : archaeologists and heritage orgs who use it for general outreach & #SciComm are contributing to this problem.

this is the most "Get a Job, Stay Away From Her" I've ever felt

Please Do Not Release Any More Epstein Files, They Are Not Important, by A Guy In The Epstein Files

This was a Screen Shot Classic for me with the 90s magazines making it look great

You can't even have a squirrel visit you in the hospital now, smdh

I wrote a McSweeney's piece that's up today! www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/its...

Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."

Warner Brothers has rejected Larry Ellison's hostile takeover bid, forestalling authoritarian state TV for a little longer. I suspect in the new year you'll see Trump's DOJ engage in a fake populist, fake antitrust campaign that tries to block the deal and redirect it back to Ellison

I feel like I’m newly surprised every time I see that the Amazon chatbot which I would never ever use is named Rufus

Oh, the Sony Whopee predates the other translucent player by a year!

This framing is dishonest. It was a bipartisan bill. Enough Republicans actually defected and voted no to kill the bill. Three Democrats crossed over to save it. They should be stripped of their committee assignments and thrown out of the party, quite frankly.

U.S. press coverage of policy (especially consumer protection) is just absolute dogshit. Just grade school, paste-eating bullshit.

Brendan Carr is a shameless liar and the legal and logical support for shitty, unpopular Republican tech/telecom/media policy just shifts however and whenever it suits them and the press generally normalizes it, is what I'm saying

Just think, there’s at least one alternate multiverse timeline where everyone is sharing their Google Circle and Stadia year in review

i would simply not have started my tenure as head of CBS news by pissing off every journalist who works there if I wanted to avoid having every single embarrassing thing that happens leak to the press immediately.

Is that what CNN is saying he did?

Truly insane that the networks took this speech live after refusing to do the same for Biden in 2022

LOSES?!?!?!!?! No. HHS canceled grants previously awarded to AAP — in what certainly looks like a retaliatory act.

Republicans voting against the felony national trans youth healthcare ban were Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Gabe Evans (CO), Michael Lawler (NY), Mike Kennedy (UT). Dems voting FOR the felony ban were Henry Cueller (TX), Vincente Gonzalez (TX), Don Davis (NC). 3 NVs on both sides.

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

What's wrong, babe? You've hardly touched your Mario-inspired denim tote bag.

Who says paleontology isn’t one of the hard sciences?

AI-generated photos of “suspects” of the Brown University shooting are now being shared online, interfering with the investigation.

Tonight’s post certainly might hurt his chances

There should be more videos of the second biggest whale species on Earth. I mean, not being as big as a Blue Whale but bigger than EVERYTHING else should be worth some love.

We’re going to share it with The Atlantic on Signal. 🤡

I'm very tired of repeating myself about this, but, as someone who works professionally on housing affordability, this is a disgusting lie.

I wonder who will win the NBA Cup Peace Prize tonight

High schools in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district were closed Tuesday after online threats were made towards the schools. That includes Apple Valley, Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount high schools.

I really find it hard to believe the guy who married his daughter was friends with Epstein
