Very cool and normal things happening in this civilized European democracy. "This sentence if forbidden. It's forbidden in Germany."

“Please teach the misogynistic AI to be less misogynistic, women! We, like the parents of many badly behaved men, are outsourcing raising our AI to you!”

Ókei, þannig að maðurinn ætlaði semsagt bara að brjóta á *konu*. Hann hélt að hann væri bara að brjótast inn og reyna að nauðga konu sem hann þekkti. En ruglaðist aðeins og var að búa sig undir að nauðga barninu hennar í staðinn. Úpps. Illa að honum vegið, segir lögmaðurinn.

This is the most important thing you will read today – and probably the whole year, honestly. We cannot let the AMOC collapse. For one thing it will make Iceland uninhabitable, and I would really like my children and grandchildren not to become refugees. But the effects will be almost everywhere.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

"A new report by Oxfam International finds the wealthiest 0.1% of the world’s people are hiding more than $2.8 trillion in offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes. The number represents more wealth than is owned by the poorest half of humanity, more than 4 billion people." DemocracyNow

Oh so now copyright matters.

We have moved, in my adult life, from "you can't trust Wikipedia because they don't even have any gatekeepers" to "we gotta rely on Wikipedia to hold the line because universities have been coopted"

It has just been brought to my attention that the greatest ever video in this genre is, in fact, cat jump fail vs Sail by AWOLNATION...

Does anyone know of any other examples of where a video synchs perfectly to other audio, like the This Is America video clip set to Call Me Maybe?

Allt er hræðilegt og asnalegt en þessi þráður færði mér svo mikla gleði að ég má til með að deila honum með ykkur.

"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."

NEW: for @nytimes.com, I wrote about a new study showing that queen bumblebees can breathe underwater, surviving submerged for a week the “remarkable” study stems from a lab snafu, when a co-author thought she accidentally drowned several bees—but later found that they were alive 🧪 gift link 🎁

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

Einhver sagði: Þetta fólk vill í rauninni bara vera þrælahaldarar og nú get ég ekki séð þetta í gegnum nein önnur gleraugu.

I’ve watched a very smart child try to encode what chaptgpt thinks is “human” so that her class assignments don’t get flagged for plagiarism. I’ve heard expert professionals admit to self-editing so they don’t “sound” like an llm. This is the kind of cultural flattening that accelerates fascism.

So. Everybody knows that "AI" is the future and inevitable and everyone loves it. That is why Microsoft and Google are paying influencers between 400K and 600K to sell their AI products.

This dude owns 1.4% of Iceland and keeps vacuuming up all the farmland he possible can.

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art. She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
