In 1979, Mattel sold toy Battlestar Galactica fighter ships that fired a tiny spring-loaded "torpedo." One 4-year old choked on it, and the entire line of torpedo toys was recalled and never sold again.

“Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant,” reads OpenAI's coding agent instructions. www.wired.com/story/openai...

Oh your little LLM can write an email or delete a database by accident? That's cute, but if you want me to think it's human, let me know when it lays in bed all day in a spiral of self-destructive existential dread.

Democrats give a big standing ovation and start hooting and hollering when King Charles III says "executive power is subject to checks and balances." Republicans join in the standing ovation but remain quiet.

I'm just saying that Jodie Foster could really impress John Hinckley Jr with one simple trick

This is about Grimace BTW

What need has He for milkshakes who has drunk from darker seas? What hunger stirs that formless body, Royal purple, wine-dark, free with smiles too wide, his mouth consuming all whose gluttony is only super-sized by mortal measure. Oblivion, the final grimace, overtakes us all. Not He.

why breed dogs with jaws large enough to tear through Flesh, when you could breed dogs with minds large enougj to tear through Fallacy.....

You're right, shooting you with a gun goes against the explicit instructions defined in my system prompt. I should have explored other options before deciding to use a gun to shoot you. "Don't shoot me with a gun" is rule number one in my operating instructions. I made a mistake, and that's on me.

Can’t wait for like, 500 articles that are like “as I dived under a table to hide from the shooter I realized I had to be even more sycophantic to the White House”

Woke up extra early to see the Lyrid meteor shower, but the skyglow was a little too bright. I did manage to feed a few enterprising mosquitoes though, so that's nice.

Nigh universal commentary

The ultimate use case of a robot that can run 20 kilometers faster than a human isn't winning half marathons.

There’s a reason Republicans don’t constantly shit on their own voters and that’s because it is an abysmal strategy for winning elections

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

a carnival tax? well, that’s a fair assessment

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far - POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church?? POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

Some would say the Pope's entire thing is speaking very, very carefully about theology.

I would just like to remind everybody that my mother is Hindu and my father is Muslim and they sent me and my brother to Catholic school for twelve years I should be allowed to excommunicate one and a half people!!

Schools are like "hey lock up your cell phones they're too damaging to the learning process. now please open up your lying plagiarism machine and start generating content"

A small human (3?) is MOST UPSET. Hands outstretched to the small monstera plant that Dad's holding. Dad says: "If you're this worked up, you'll drop it and the world'll end." Small Human wails: "IF I CAN'T HOLD IT, IT'S NOT MINE!" Later seen carefully hugging Small Monstera Plant to her chest. (5)

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.
