…That "Generative AI" does not tell you the truth, that it doesn't give you facts, & that when its outputs conform to factual reality, it's by fucking happenstance. These systems are not all-in-1 answer production machines, they are collections of stats & regularities spat out via fucking dice rolls

couldn't sleep so i made him sit down

My favorite photos from the Olympics are of this Italian figure skater Daniel Grassl. He looks absolutely insane in so many of them. It's great.

I mean, good but also lol

How many times, in how many contexts, in how many ways am I going to have to say that this is what "AI" does— what it fundamentally *is*— before it sinks in? That all Bullshit engines do is statistically correlate training data & inputs via their weights to produce outputs you are likely to accept…

Zohran genuinely loves the people of his city and wants the best for them. It’s astonishing how much we’ve all been starved of that by our leaders.

The thing that makes this extra funny to me is that I think the cat is about to say this is all moving too fast…

That’s not that surprising. Most executives will believe good news without question. They only push back on bad news which they assume can’t possibly be right

Not certain what’s more amazing, that ai made shit up to that the c suite was so clueless they couldn’t tell.

But I didn’t think the bullshit machine would ever bullshit *me*

One of the things that really fucking annoys me about AI is that people *do not understand it* (on purpose, bc these companies want it that way) and they assume it’s as reliable as the computers they’ve been using their whole life when it’s actually about as reliable as your least capable intern

was looking for something else and found this important post deep in my files

Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky: "There were 3 times that Bondi could have turned around in that room & just looked us in the eye. Just the sheer acknowledgment that we were human would have been enough. And she couldn't even do that. She reminded us we are nothing to her."

Best shape of your life, high emotions, new city, bunch of attractive people, maybe some drugs?? Why aren't they in church?

Gotta love Olympic tradition- the passage of the torch, the ceremonial lighting of the flame, the series of articles about condoms running out from journalists seething that super fit people are fucking

The RFK number seems like a massive failure of the media to explain what RFK is doing to our public health system and how catastrophic it will be

Why is a GOP gadfly so much better at this than 90% of Dems?

I’m so fucking sick of the gaslighting

Birthday update: They were out of carrot cake, but I was able to grab some whipped cream, Aces' second favorite treat.

The devil Steve Bannon worked with the pedophile king to attack the Jesuit pope over Church doctrine on social justice. Time to shine a spotlight on the "trad" Catholic right wing extremists (step forward JD Vance) who abuse Church teaching to drive their hate. www.cnn.com/2026/02/14/w...

An actual working-class hero is something to be.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

Anthony Sapienza and his wife Julianne Sapienza face felony battery charges following a heated pickleball brawl, officials said.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

(put another way, weird to say, as Rubio does, that Europe produced “the genius…of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones,” who were self-consciously playing music rooted in the traditions of the African diaspora.)

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.

This is the most ridiculous waste of money.

Not the uniform(s) of the 70s/80s, but the overarching distrust, the creations of symbols of it, the alternate modes of all coms. And the general fuck offness.

The only thing of which I feel fairly confident of is that this moment is giving rise to of all manners of “punk”

Notice how those who wanted to overthrow the government for being asked to carry proof of their covid vaccination, claiming it’s an infringement on their freedoms, are suddenly all in favor of needing multiple proofs of identity just so they can exercise their constitutional right to vote.

Harry Potter's midlife crisis.

if you’re seeing this it was meant to find you today

how we got here

I forgot who said it, but “genocide by rug pull” really is an apt phrase for this outcome.

New story up on the Homeland Security Department’s new tactic: flood social media companies with subpoenas to unmask anonymous accounts that criticize ICE or monitor the movements of ICE agents. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Get it? See, it's funny 'cuz our President is a pathological liar who rarely, if ever, tells the truth.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

Tough times in line at the ol UPS store when the lady in front of me responds to a question about what she’s shipping with “Electronic in what way?”

FBI Announces They Have Located Savannah Guthrie

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late With long arrears to make good, When the wine moms began to hate.

I don't see anything here

Is there a gofundme for her yet?

KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: “I was literally begging the agent who was holding me back to let me do CPR,” she told The Intercept.
