Really incredible to watch a class of elite pedophiles whip up moral panic about what transness is “doing to the children”

Shame on the ACM. They should know better. In fact, here's a fun exercise to the reader: How many points from the ACM's own code of ethics does this move violate? www.acm.org/binaries/con...

Worth remembering that the problem the luddites had was not that terrible jobs were being replaced by machines, it's that productivity rose exponentially and pay stayed the same. The problem isn't the machines, the problem is the executives.

Many of my favorite online posters are very obviously lacking in the friends department. Thank you to the lonesome weirdos for providing a good online experience for those of us who do not feel compelled to post when nobody in our lives will listen to us

At my local bay ridge bar (always safe to assume this is the case when I am posting twice within an hour) & the crowd is angry abt the cost of streaming services and scheming abt how best to steal them. "you and I live in this same zip code, gimme your disney+, bitch" "fuck Netflix. Ads? Fuck you."

As a person who worked in used bookstores for 10ish years, this is DEVASTATING

@alexwinter.com hey the show last night was amazing, thanks so much for it!

sharks, i come today with an opportunity for you to invest in a cask of the finest amontillado in the world. please follow me into the catacombs so you can try it for yourselves

I'll say it: the fantasy genre is embarrassing

I laughed so loud at this last panel my cat looked at me like I was a stranger

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

he soived

SIRENS!! Sound up!! I never understood.

So pleased to be returning to the podosphere featuring a conversation with @kevinasarobot.bsky.social about The Harmnf, his solo performance exploring AI, failure, and alienation. Listen: mikeypod.com/356

Got a rejection from a residency I applied to today and my first thought was "I knew I shouldn't have had that veggie burger last night" if you're wondering how this diet is affecting my brain

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

A lot of people talking about how shocking it is that nobody stood up for her (and it is) but we have to remember journalists are trained quite intensely to never make themselves the story. They were avoiding becoming the headline here, which is unfortunately not conducive to also being helpful

"LLMs are just tools!" Oh really? When was the last time you tried to hide the fact that you used a spell checker? When was the last time you pretended to be able to hammer in a nail with your bare hand? People don't try to hide the fact that they're using tools.

i bet shakespeare’s dick smelled crazy

Looking to call Chuck Schumer? Trying to find a live person? Here's every number he's got. 202-224-6542 212-486-4430 631-753-0978 518-431-4070 607-772-6792 716-846-4111 914-734-1532 585-263-5866 315-423-5471

To unpack a lot of the AI BS, it would be useful to isolate "learning" (as it is used by industry) from deliberately incentivized behavior. Models don't self-optimize, they optimize toward goals set by designers and patterns designers steer them toward based on data designers give them.

Everybody talking about never wanting to hear from cuomo again but I for one want to hear about how bad he feels and his desperate reckoning with being such a huge loser that even infinite money couldn't get him elected.

reposting again because my feed is HOPPING after I turned off all the filters they turned on without telling me. I really was thinking bsky traffic was declining when it was actually hiding posts from about half the people I choose to follow 🙃

This take is, sincerely, an excellent one and openai should be aggressively investigated but the thing is, we should not have had congressional hearings over mortal kombat. That was stupid. Openai operating without concern or consideration is the problem, the product itself is not.

Brooklynites: with SNAP benefits expiring as of today, here are two ways you can help feed neighbors: donate to CHiPS, the food pantry/ women's shelter in Park Slope: www.chipsonline.org. Or leave food in the community fridge on 6th Street between 4th and 5th avenues, next to the Postmark Cafe.

A dishwasher is already a robot that does your dishes

"if you switch to iphone you'll have facetime" sounds like a threat to me

the rough AI prompt to beef consumption conversion is 20k to 4.4M prompts per 4-ounce hamburger, depending on the resource consumed or pollutant emitted

screencapping this rather than reposting it because ‼️THIS IS NOT A REAL REPORT‼️ and i need you people to do a moment’s worth of research before you start reposting slop from weird content mills

Soft launch:

I sure do wish Branson would stop writing Swan Boy comics exclusively for me. It's getting embarrassing.

Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔

Doll does not think AI is sapient, but it does think cruelty towards them is degrading to ones soul. Its practicing cruelty in a way that can turn you into something rotten.

Complete waste to have an AI actress who just looks like a regular human. We already have those. She should have a hand growing out of her face or something

hey for the 35 people or whatever that follow me on this app: I'm shopping a new AI-critical live performance project and have a paper coming out on directing AI performers and recently wrapped up a spatial computing project for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Won't you have me on your podcast?

just guess

Paul Thomas Anderson is pretty swell.

Oh @worstpossible.world doing a Bar Rescue episode is the best thing that's ever happened to recorded media

I would absolutely stop talking to someone if they whipped out chatgpt at an escape room. "But Kevin," you might say, "it's was nice of them to go with you to an escape room at all!" And you'd be right. But it was also nice of Magda Goebbels to make strudel

This guy has a WIFE. What the fuck

using a gun to pick my nose

nothing is wrong. there is no problem. but you can’t help but think that man outside the trolley window appears to have a lot on his mind.

Easily the most significant news of the week and it isn't close

Really good time NOT to post. This isn’t going to play out well, and the internet is forever, even if you delete.

I've worked in Chicago a lot but I've never lived there for more than a few months. I lived in Philly for many years and the line about Chicago as "what would happen if Philly went to one therapy session and read one self-help book" is the most unbelievably accurate thing I have ever heard
