This is what I thought the 21st century would be like

“This is a man you hire to tell Mayor McCheese bad news.” Sublime writing.

Anything which makes driving more inconvenient and expensive is a great thing that should be supported, and anyone who disagrees is literally a Tory

Honey, what's wrong? You haven't even tried sitting in the butthole.

Gonna be honest the SoftBank goose has really made my week. It’s so funny. It’s a perfect monument to the business idiots and what they imagine AI could be for no imaginable reason other than their willingness to be regulated by the wallet inspector. It’s indefensibly stupid.

Best thing on the streamers at the mo is Hirayasumi. FYI.

Not bloody wrong.

Under appreciated about NY winners is that they ran better campaigns. They talked to voters & got voters to talk to each other about them. Magnetism 101: if you want people to come to your cause, be attractive. Pollingists can't comprehend or recreate this: donors are their audience.

One thing to do this on some AI hardware you control, but if people are uploading sensitive company or personal info to those cultist weirdos at openai or anthropic then they are out of their tiny brains.

Yeah, that sounds EXACTLY like the profile of LLM use I've witnessed. "I don't know anything about how to do this, but I'll ask the magic tool to do it for me".

I feel a bit bad for all the free market ‘Capitalism Rewards Merit!’ advocates when Australia’s wealthiest person is a stone stupid nepo baby.

“In a recent study looking at the use of AI in healthcare, researchers from Stanford and Harvard found even top-performing AI models from Anthropic and Google produced 12 to 15 severely harmful errors per 100 cases. The worst-performing models made mistakes in 40 out of 100 cases.”

Getting stuck into this bottle of Tempus Fugit Gran Classico bitters I bought ages ago (I don’t recall why) and bloody hell it’s good. It’s like what medicine would be, in a more perfect world. Delicious just straight up but I must have bought it for some cocktail idea 🤷

Peak reddit.

Graphic design is my passion.

NY-10, my district, is the most Jewish congressional district in the country, w/about 25% of voters identifying as Jewish. And yet tonight the district threw out pro-Israel Rep. Dan Goldman, and elected Brad Lander, who calls Gaza a genocide and favors an cut-off of weapons to Israel, by 30+ pts. 1/

add another data point to "the stupidest people alive are using this"

A Roman #glass flask in the shape of a #fish. We don't know what flasks in the shape fishes were used for, maybe the shape relates to the content (garum/fish sauce), maybe they were used to hold oil. On display at Pierides Museum, Larnaka, Cyprus. Photo: Jeff Amadon via Flickr

Let’s check in on how Jared and Ivanka’s luxury Albanian resort is doing…

They couldn't find the United States on a map either.

Arnie hammer going from boots riley’s movie to Uwe Boll’s insane racist film is why you shouldn’t really put that much stock in what artists think about politics relative to everyone else.

Terrific quote and thankfully at the start before you delve into what’s essentially a textbook on agriculture

In Australia, "highly educated" just means you think your racism is rational.

...... i'm sorry, they wanted to invade greenland because red lobster nixed the unlimited shrimp promotion? www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

What a fucken wanker.

Vietnamese has a pronoun Người, which is used exclusively for God, Jesus, Ho Chi Minh, and Vladimir Lenin.

Correct. This is bullshit. I know a lot of authors and we all fucking hate AI and won't ever use it.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

The party of performative masculinity truly contains multitudes

As much as I'd like Musk to answer for what he's done formally, the best thing for everyone is if his plane disappears over an ocean one day and all western governments, involved or not, agree not to talk about it for a few years

Not that relevant though, because the sun will heat up and drive all water from the earth’s surface billions of years before this anyway.

And Morocco’s similar crimes in Western Sahara don’t get reported at all!

Israel's crimes in Lebanon, West Bank and Gaza are barely getting reported in the western press.

Someone has written, in lovely silver pen, under a railway bridge near my office, "Why is the left silent on Western Sahara?" To which the only reasonable reply is "Same reason as for the last fifty years".

Tremendous work. (timesofisrael.com)

Properly excellent Friday music. Glorious sounds from Cabo Verde. music.apple.com/au/album/spa...

Just batshit insane and now One Nation policy. The brainworms are thriving in this one.

Testamentary Trusts are the MO of big-time narcissists. You'd be surprised with the discussions I've had with clients that have very specific ideas about how things should operate even though they're dead and buried.

just do it

Never misses. Incredible.

isn't AirBNB just a way to NG your holiday home?
