NEW: Three U.S. senators have called for an overhaul of federal agents’ use of tear gas and pepper spray, citing a ProPublica investigation that found at least 79 children were hurt by these chemicals during Trump’s immigration crackdown.

“AI companions, precisely because they always obey and validate, may encourage narcissistic or dependent dynamics, a person effectively loving an echo of their own desires” www.cambridge.org/core/element...

Paxton won the runoff with 3.1% of registered Texas voters. He has spent over $120 million just on the primary, or ~$130 per vote. The best case scenario for Republicans in Texas is a gigantic financial black hole.

Soooo he won a run-off in a likely poorly attended re-vote in a red state - but also the entire thing is he's a massive piece of shit and has also managed to totally silence the story about his wife leaving him *for being a cheating, evil piece of shit*

My husband just had the pleasure of watching crowds heckle this monstrosity as it passed through our neighborhood. “Words cannot describe how vulgar it is.”

... This post is logically incorrect

This actually encapsulates every issue i've been having with the current perception of "ai", as i consistently rewatch star trek over and over. Nailed it. Fucking nailed it.

hell yeah.

Neurotypicality is stored in the foreskin

*TRUMP'S VAPORWARE COMPANY PIVOTED TO INCLUDE "NUCLEAR ENERGY" JUST RECENTLY*

Fucking christ absolutely not. Corporations are not people, no matter how much they manipulate the law to achieve that standing

These assholes literally watched "for all mankind" and "space force" and said "wait we need to do this"

For far too long, this country has been governed by people who were either unable or simply unwilling to post brief videos of themselves being bitten multiple times by snakes that they had just picked up for some reason,

That headline is... A series of words that i have to assume *do not* imply what i immediately thought they meant at first read.

“A Stanford-led study of 4mn job applications across 156 employers who used the Pymetrics hiring platform, which assesses people using a series of online games, found evidence of ‘systemic rejection’ linked to the algorithms it used.”

Lol what?

Thankfully there has never been any kind of bubble around Micron or other memory companies

Didn't he post something almost completely identical a couple days ago?

That first sentence is 125 words

These fucking demons told me that my neighbor wanted to eat my dog and now they want to talk about social trust evaporating

Spotted in San Diego. “WE THE STUDENTS DO NOT WANT THIS AI IS MORE HARMFUL THAN HELPFUL”

1. Trump has repeatedly promoted an online casino, Stake, on social media after its founder and owner, Bijan Tehrani donated $1 million to Trump's Super PAC, MAGA Inc. According to multiple state regulators, Stake is an illegal operation.

The exit liquidity for insiders at SpaceX will be everyone's 401ks and pension funds that are required to buy stocks within the index as part of index funds. It's so criminal what they're doing. Not just the blatant raiding of retirement funds but changing the rules to allow for this.

Pump pump pump

So what, inflating gov-based income to pump the s1 maybe?

dying at cheryl hines yelling "bobby, please!!!" in the background

... So they wanna privatise the moon for fucking "ai compute growth"

Remember that trump's vaporware company has recently pivoted to include nuclear energy

I have it on good authority that 100% of the older nonvoters did their own research.

I wrote about how the growing number of wearables will be great for authoritarians The latest from my newsletter:

ARR has frankly always sounded like a bullshit metric that is far too easy to fudge techcrunch.com/2026/05/22/h...

*extended groan*

What if taxing the rich works?

RETVRN

The (unanimous) conclusions are emphatic and striking: Alabama is trying to intentionally discriminate against black voters.

Note: two of these three judges were appointed by Donald Trump

Fake academic journals are publishing AI-generated papers under real professors’ names We identified a network of AI-created journals that have published over 100 fake papers, using real professors' names among the AI slop www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...

Guessing it's the same people that will be applying for the "lawfare" funds

Boots Riley is resolute in his belief that AI proponents and studio heads who say that gen AI is the future of filmmaking are simply lying. Read the full interview from @charlespulliam.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/entertainmen...

Because of course

We are going to win! This stuff can and will be brought to a halt. None of it is inevitable. Anthropic cannot afford to slow down. It has to grow to at least $100bn a year in revenue or it doesn’t have a hope in hell of paying its compute bills. Same for clammy little Altman.

NEW: Excellent piece by @wired.com fact-checker extraordinaire @megherbst.bsky.social about the trials and tribulations of trying to ensure something is true in the AI era (and a fun peek into the world of fact-checking, if you're into that kind of thing, which I am): www.wired.com/story/fact-c...

This is the standout of Anthropic's PR bit on the Pope's AI stuff - they've ignored all of the endless criticisms from academics, workers, activists, educators etc solely because it told them not to do things they want to do. They're not appealing for informed critics, they're after apologists.

Commentary: As AI transforms warfare through automation and machine-speed decision-making, the greater danger is that political leaders may lose the ability to exercise meaningful human judgment and control over war.

“Is that a roller coaster being built behind the White House?” I asked myself before remembering that, no, the real answer is an MMA ring.

MIA from work but still trading stocks is extremely on brand for a Congressman in 2026.

"In September 2025, nine mosques and cultural centers in and around Paris were targeted...Bloody severed pig heads, each marked with the word “Macron” in blue ink, were left outside their front doors." This was a Russian stunt. From @occrp.org Read more: www.occrp.org/en/investiga...
