The Financial Times has reported that Oracle's $ORCL $300 billion OpenAI deal is already underwater, now worth MINUS 74 billion

Hold up

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

"In less than 36 hours since we announced that we will be sending payments to disabled SNAP recipients in the South—$100 to individuals and $250 to households—we have received more than 12,400 applications, totaling $2.7 million in requests." - they have to close the form tomorrow... no way to cover

Share and help everyone know about this!!

Everybody gets that Bloomberg is the main reason Cuomo is still afloat, right? archive.ph/4sE8g

> Black founders captured just 0.42% of the $69.9 billion in U.S. venture capital deployed in Q2 From 1.5% in 2020 to 0.4% -- Given these statistics, it's rational for me to deprioritize VCs and focus my energy on funding paths where I face fewer systemic barriers. ft. @dominicmadori.bsky.social

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It says "POLICIA" on the goddamn shield.

“And we know that, for the perpetuation of this system, we have all been mercilessly brutalized, and have been told nothing but lies, lies about ourselves and our kinsmen and our past, and about love, life, and death, so that both soul and body have been bound in hell.”

All I can think of at this point is more support to BlackSky to develop and be independent. Clarification of words on my OP in comments, but gist is: Support ongoing developments whether BlackSky or NorthSky or wherever. bsky.app/profile/alia...

New review from @tatianaking.com @forallnerds.com youtu.be/4gQIlvcK8wU?...

BREAKING: Federal judge tosses out Trump's lawsuit against the New York Times, Penguin Random House, & journalists, finding that the complaint violated court pleading rules due to its expansive, over-the-top, "tedious" use of language. An amended complaint can be filed without all of the BS in it.

excited to share that we are following through on our earlier commitments and putting together an independent+neutral organization to house the DID PLC system, includes the directory service

Israeli forces have launched a new wave of attacks on Gaza, killing at least 83 Palestinians, including 19 near al-Shifa and al-Ahli hospitals, the besieged enclave’s last functioning medical facilities aje.io/uwsj7b

A lot of people are saying that he’s demonstrating lack of qualification here but what I believe is that he’s engaging in what will be an increasingly apparent campaign of downplaying, ignoring & outright denying the existence or importance of right wing patterns of violence.

BIG NEW YORKERS AGAINST ICE rally at 6 pm, Thursday, 9/25 at Foley Square in NYC, friends! Please do come through! If you've never been to a rally, why not start here? It's 2025 and it's time. We all gotta stand up for all of us.

I am perhaps most proud of starting Washington Post's Global Opinions section. As its founding editor, I helped build a journalistic home for diverse writers from around the world, many of them censored for their views in their countries. www.washingtonpost.com/pr/wp/2016/0...

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

And yes, I was the last Black full-time columnist in the Opinion section. Washington Post -- operating in a city which for a long time has been majority Black, is now without any full-time Black opinion writers.

As a Black woman, it’s amusing to find out that people who are objectively inferior to you think they’re in competition with you.

I learned about this book here on Bluesky, now I'm passing it along to all of you, because it was fantastic and you should absolutely read it.

After being found not liable in the civil suit filed against her, Cardi B warned that the next time she is sued frivolously, she will countersue. She also asked her fans not to harass the woman who sued her, criticize her appearance, or attack the woman’s family.

This is because workers are "associated with diversity" by virtue of not being white guys, and to be anti-DEI is to be pro-segregation

She dates Black women, so she hasn’t been adopted by the “casuals” the way Caitlin Clark has, and I, for one, am grateful.
