"The researchers also found that agents wasted tokens pursuing tasks they can’t complete. Prompted to go to a YouTube page to find a video uploaded 46 years ago, Claude Sonnet 4 scrolled endlessly downward without understanding that YouTube began in 2005 and there was no video for it to find"

Either the art directors at these right wing outlets are secret DSA members or this man has simply never had a bad photo.

The explicit product goal is psychological manipulation into dependence. Switch to Linux, sure, but also fire these people into the sun

cutting brake lines is mostly movie-plot stuff, but this here represents a different kind of threat

oh we talkin genspark ads that tell on themselves??

Just trying to make it in time for Freedom 250 ... www.reuters.com/business/hea...

some of you have never read Maxine Berg's "the machinery question" and it shows

so grateful that my dad's ICU stay is covered due to VA to such an extent. there's a reasonable-to-the-point-of-absurdity flat fee for the first 90 days and somehow even less than that for another 90 days. after that idk it's actually crazy that it isn't this way for everyone

It's me, I ran this scam. I just really wanted to pay a $4,000 deductable to have my prescription not be covered after the in-network doctor I hate sent it to the wrong pharmacy

“Curtis Sliwa sitting shiva for the Times Square Red Lobster” is hysterical on several levels, no one doing it like him

god i wish switching careers wasn't such a nightmare these days. cannot imagine the sort of networking this shit requires in 2026

I don't like reading sentences anymore

I want the Prime Minister on the television condemning this in explicit terms and removing the whip from any Blue Labour MP who tries to whitewash this.

5/x And they seek to accomplish that through the mythology of gender. It's true that the fascist hates trans ppl, but I wish that more ppl would remember that they hate us *instrumentally*. Our existence and especially our visibility dispels the myths of gender upon which they would rely.

this shit makes weird old stylized paintings of animals make a bit more sense

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

Photographer Martin Le-May was walking through a London park with his wife, hoping to show her a green woodpecker for the first time, when he snapped this incredible photo: a weasel riding a flying woodpecker.

“Data centers now account for 2.3% of all US construction spending”

one of my favorite rotting-flesh scented natural horrors

No fucking whey www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

this is something i think about CONSTANTLY especially in terms of software and writing, two things i work on young people today never knew a time when your phone or computer didn't slap your hand and change words YOU TYPED without permission

one thing these exchanges capture perfectly is that the people in charge have absolutely no idea the type of people that top-tier investigative journalists are

I was setting up a new computer and used YouTube to check that my sound works. Is there some way we, as a people, can come together and donate money to get ads removed from a video? I'm just saying, this should NEVER play an ad before it. youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ

Exactly this. I get very annoyed when I buy something from an independent retailer only to find it is delivered by Amazon 😩

IT'S GENUINELY FUCKED UP THAT GOOGLE CONTACTS WILL NOT SHOW A NAME CHANGE YOU HIT EDIT AND THE CORRECT NAME IS THERE IT WILL NOT SHOW YOU WHERE IT'S STUCK IT WILL NOT PULL UP THE ACCOUNT WHEN YOU SEARCH THE NAME YOU'VE *SUCCESSFULLY ADDED* THAT IT DOESN'T SHOW STOP FORCING ME TO DEADNAME

"Once you stop confusing “average” with “median,”...the picture that emerges is...long, flat stretches of stagnation punctuated by short, intense bursts when the labor market is genuinely, not performatively, tight." - @braddelong.bsky.social braddelong.substack.com/p/when-media...

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

not a good metric for comparison. spurs fans say "go spurs" but knicks fans have historically expressed the same emotions by posting "im going to blow my brains out"

I fucking hate bidoof (the tumblr user, not the pokemon), but ngl, he was extremely correct here.

due to the rising cost of housing, there are now three wolves inside you

People always use the expression ‘rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic’ but fail to consider the possibility that there might have been an optimal deckchair arrangement that would have helped in the circumstances

the two genders

Happy Pride month you buncha queers

happy pride, shoutout as always to the 1978 gilbert baker pride flag which had pink and turquoise stripes for SEX AND MAGIC AND ART, and in this house we support gay sex and gay magic and gay art

Why do we keep printing the drivel that pours out the noise holes of these fucking assholes?

Good morning! ❤️

thinking about this a lot today

Holding up Mitt Romney, who built his fortune on buying companies and gutting them, as the voice of ethical capitalism is pitch perfect Democratic Party

"you're putting in the wrong prompt" for the love of god please find yourself literally any additional perspective that is not effectively the same as narcissus staring into a pond

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

Starting tomorrow 🙂‍↕️ 🏃🏿🏳️‍🌈

good morning

The part that kills me is when it zooms in on the "Lebanese restaurant" sign

A song about spring: row, row, row your boat gently down the stream merrily merrily merrily merrily antihistamine

light migraines are the ultimate betrayal. the screens, which i love, have turned against me

Good morning
