In 1909, William James argued that God had to be real because no-one would want an AI girlfriend, which is bad news for both William James and God

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Men who put "Gym" at 5.30am every day as an entry in your outlook calendar visible to everyone you work with: what is wrong with you. No one is booking a meeting with you at that time. You can just mark personal events as private. Also you are not getting enough sleep

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

From a friend’s Facebook page. Perfect. 👌

And then finish things off with a tax exemption for £30,000. Leaving only £ 4,670.50 open to taxation and NI deduction. This is absolutely disgraceful.

Why did they consider it value for money...ah, because Mandelson had asked to be paid the FULL 4 YEARS, amounting to more than half a million. He really has no sense of shame nor any kind of morals. Perfect fit for this government.

While 57 people had pay-outs in a similar range, I wonder how many had only worked for the department for 7 months and 8 days? And that is good value for money?? Plus he had a salary increase within those 7 months!!

#UK #Politics Now, nothing against Mandelson for getting the maximum out of severance pay, but this is clearly showing that we are not all equal...especially the tax exemption I find rather offensive. See skeets below for the details.

Me to 3yo: What do you want for your birthday party theme? 3yo: “Poopoo & peepee theme! We can get apple juice for the pee, so a skeleton pees and you drink the skeleton pee but it’s okay because it’s juice” Me: ..K I was thinking like “dinosaurs” but let’s put a pin in “piss fountain of the dead”

Get to fuck There are hundreds of tech businesses more deserving of this cash www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Love this! Scapegoating AI art on disablility is trash, people with no hands paint with their feet. Artists through history are disabled! I'm one & tons of my homies. And bad art is great! People are allowed to make bad art. I wanna see every shitty amateur poem written for National Poetry Month!

Starmer must go. He is an incompetent, dishonest, corrupt, genocidal, cowardly drama queen who is a danger to the country and a threat to our democracy.

look its easy the court case about a thing thats never happened (trans women on all women shortlists) made the decision that because i can't get pregnant it should be illegal for hospitals to protect me from sexual violence. what don't you get

This was my "Is there a doctor of philosophy on the plane?" moment.

Similar to the headline framing of a nurse who won an employment tribunal over “pronouns”. Except it wasn’t. It was over potential breach of patient confidentiality. But you had to read the report several times Interesting that report was only on the front page for a couple of hours.

Last year when the Mail undertook a similar sting, a proper investigation by the regulator showed that the lawyers had not acted wrongfully. But that never gets the coverage of the shock-horror headlines. www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/second-...

Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Them: you need to touch grass Me, already rolling mad blunts: way ahead of you

Just seen a van for a restaurant supplies company that sells "hot stuff chafing fuel". Didn't realise there was a market for my crotch sweat this whole damn time

Don't you have to be hanging around a long time to notice someone hanging around a long time?

It makes me incandescent with rage that misogyny is still not being adequately understood as a predictor of mass (or serial) violent attacks. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

the catholic church is in an interesting historical moment, and it's worthy of note and commentary, but mia is correct and you do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to the catholic church

My crim professor had to end class early the day we went over sexual assault bc the men in a large lecture hall which was mostly men kept asking the most horrific questions indicating they were just realizing they’d committed sexual assault under the law and deciding the problem was the law not them

Yet i get told i am a problem for assuming that every man i meet is a potential abuser.

can't stop thinking about how casually these monsters are dismantling everything good and useful the government does in a year and a half and comparing it to Joe Biden who couldn't even manage to fire Louis DeJoy in four

I can't even find the words to express how spectacularly dumb and damaging this administration is, not just for US science and healthcare but for the world. Innovations like mRNA vaccines - for pathogens, cancer, autoimmune diseases etc - benefit all of humanity.

The alternate reality version of frog & toad

This woman is facing a copyright claim for her own music by an AI company that took her youtube page and copied her.

"The Scottish island of Summerisle, home of the best fruit in Britain. The first thing you notice? No churches. The farmers here practice a fascinating form of pre-Christian worship…and I just learned I'll be playing the lead role in their annual May Day festival. First stop: my costume fitting."

Why I don't trust anyone a little too obsessed about falling fertility rates

Saw a probably late-thirties man at a crossing with a pointy little hood on his raincoat. He looked like an adorable all-weather goblin.

Just been to a martial arts class this evening. My hands have never smelled so much like feet

I think people who are not cyclists do not quite understand how often those of us who bike are told that we deserve to die because we have chosen a mode of transit that isn't a car

New for @404media.co - On Trans Day of Visibility, I went to an OpSec party that teaches trans people how hunt down their old data (to be less visible online) 🫥

We didn't deserve this day.

If you have any information at all on these plans, now is the time to share it. Reach me on Signal at marisakabas.04

The right, y'all. War crimes, sex crimes, aggression, entitlement. Take what you want, when you want, because the weak deserve it. Shake, stir, repeat.

Once again I say: read Susan Faldo, THE TERROR DREAM (2007) on US imperialism's self portrayal as sexual assault.

And it’s live.

Ever single gentile needs to read each and every one of these. A Jewish woman on Instagram made a post about how matzo is made and why we eat it on Passover. Every reply was violent, vile, and hateful. I need you to understand how even the most innocuous part of Jewish existence is reviled.

It’s a good piece, but all it really needed to say was this.

The omnipresence of Jimmy Carr seems to grow and grow - like The Rise & Rise of Michael Rimmer - he goes on shows being all moral after taking money from an oppressive regime for a show with a sexual predator & doing a private gig for a government committing genocide - this world is lost on me

Oh Ted en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Nug....

You sacked your newsroom so you could let the Health Secretary write an op ed?

This is conversion therapy apologia, BTW. Streeting is the one making the decision to force trans kids into conversion therapy.

He refused to release FOI findings requested by The Good Law project that ended up showing a x4 rise in suicides after Puberty Blockers were withdrawn, calling the organization "dangerous". Pink News has just given Wes Streeting a platform to chat transphobic nonsense whilst we don't get a voice.
