I see a lot of Paidchecks on X didn’t realize that a whole lot of people on social media lie about their location to grift off the naïveté of the rage-addled American right. Turns out this problem is real and it’s a thing those of us who worked on “disinformation” pointed out.

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

I agree that emotional addiction to chatbots is the number one risk of AI today. Here is a gift link to an important OpEd in the NYTimes: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/o...

lol is somebody cataloguing these

This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

Interessant, wie Merz seine neuerlichen Ressentiments jeweils rahmt, indem er sie jeweils zu legitimieren sucht mit Verweis auf andere Gruppen. Beim „Stadtbild“ waren es die „Töchter“, die man fragen solle, was er meint, bei Belém die Journalisten.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

„Wenn ich tot bin, sollst Du gar nicht trauern, meine Liebe wird mich überdauern, und in fremden Kleidern dir begegnen und Dich segnen. Lebe, lache gut! Mache Deine Sache gut!“ Joachim Ringelnatz, gestorben am 17. November 1934 in Berlin.

My favourite year for oppressed literary masculinity was 2023 when the number of women on the Booker shortlist was smaller than the number of men named Paul

Holy shit the quarter must be a train wreck.

Reminder: current Chief Justice John Roberts was one of the WH lawyers in Bush II writing memoranda that authorized exercise of executive powers in war on terrorism. If any case makes it way to SCOTUS to challenge these claims, the chief justice has already signaled his vote for the WH

Was für eine krasse Story das schon wieder ist. Während sich ein Großteil der deutschen Politik und des deutschen Feuilletons darin einig zu sein scheinen, dass sie die Lektionen aus der Geschichte so gut gelernt haben, um sie anderen als ErinnwrungsLeitKultur zu empfehlen passiert das hier:

to safely dispose of these hats, eat them. natural fibers — such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen — breakdown in the digestive track. synthetics do not. thus, if you eat your hat, the synthetics will pass through the other side. smush through the poop to find the synthetic fibers and recycle them.

NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials. “Google wanted to ‘not be evil’ back in the day. Well, they're evil now."

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Welche Therapie bei alten, kranken Menschen noch sinnvoll ist (auch ökonomisch), ist medizinisch komplex und individuell. Die Frage taugt nicht für pauschale Altersvorgaben aus der Politik. Gegen steigende Medikamentenkosten sollte man bei Industrie ansetzen statt bei Patienten.

Das ist übrigens Eugenik. Wenn du einmal beginnst zu selektieren, wem du hilfst und wem nicht, dann gehst du einen Weg, der nicht aufzuhalten ist. Streeck ist Mediziner und weiß das natürlich. Das macht es so perfide. Vor allem, weil er zwei rhetorische Tricks verwendet:

Are you human? It's no longer enough to check that box. You now need to prove your humanity by showing that you can write a non-AI way. At least in this game that my PhD student Maria Edwards built based on our joint design. Curious? Try nonslop and see if you can write nonslop!

Vince Gilligan on AI: “AI is the world’s most expensive and energy-intensive plagiarism machine. I think there’s a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit. It’s basically a bunch of centibillionaires whose greatest life goal is to become the world’s first trillionaires.”

Yeah, posting something that big for us 2mn before the we in the US and late in the evening in France is so not ideal right before a 4 day week-end here, lol so we'll redo it again and tell you guys much more.. #TrainingTragedy Tbh the only visual allegory possible is this...

it doesn’t get any clearer that america’s betrothal to fossil fuels is about letting energy companies pick our pockets to prop up their obsolete industry

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works. I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

This was a tough but necessary decision - I posted my own notes on this here, from the perspective of a current PSF board member simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/27/...

Sigh

It takes discipline to use "AI" or social media to you advantage. Having said that, i think its totally fine when OAI makes money from people wanting to fuck ChatGPT.

Huh, #bsky doesnt seem to run on AWS (at least not US-EAST-1 regoin)

Helluvan outage: docker registry "full service disruption", npm not working.

In any other presidency, from Truman to Biden, the family monetization of the office & the use of immediate family members as a substitute for senior diplomats would have immediately ended it all. But here we are, with this One Special Boy, & we just stopped being a serious country. It’s maddening.

Während Springer-Journalisten und andere Spindoktoren wieder behaupten, es sei doch alles nicht so gemeint gewesen, fordern in den Social Media Kommentaren wieder einmal Dutzende Rassisten meine Abschiebung. Sie haben sehr genau verstanden, welchen Ton der Kanzler da normalisiert.
