Plagiarism machine gonna plagiarism

I have really come to believe that we'd be in a much better place right now if we had put Nixon away in a dingy cell for the rest of his natural life, instead of the slap on the wrist for being naughty that he actually received.

I did not spend the 90s refurbing dumpster 486s with foraged RAM & yoinked software to be told I'M the one not embracing technology. We were 28.8ing into localnets while y'all doinks were afraid touching a 2-button mouse would get nerd all over you. I bitch in BASIC; y'all just basic bitches.

Looking for a few dozen good Congressfighters

Everybody give it up for my bestest girl and trophy wife @lediva.bsky.social, who is celebrating her birthday today. Seriously babe, couldn't do this thing called life without you. <3 <3 <3

I got a tip that all over the world, people are using a dead-simple hack to manipulate AI behavior. It turns out changing what AI tells other people can be as easy as writing a blog post *on your own website* I didn’t believe it, so I decided to test it myself www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Between this and Prince Andrew, feeling a lot of jealousy for functioning legal systems today

Never been cool, never will. That's the LeDiva Promise™️!

Whole Foods AI stores were entirely Indians watching on video feeds and ringing you up. Waymos have live human support partially driving them. And the AI that has “Hollywood shaking in its boots” is…stock footage. With face replacement. Yeah. We are sooooooo cooked, AI bros. Call me when it works.

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

In the wake of all of this, we should talk more about how BlueSky holds such a strong commitment to "public data" that they made their app extremely hostile to anyone with legitimate concerns about stalking or real-life abuse. I know we've been talking about this, but we should be louder.

heading out to get the technology the left is excited about. anybody need anything?

"Our reality: that is the problem." - The Perfect Crime

The discovery that ICE began using Subarus shook me to my core. My culture is not a costume

From what I remember from 2020 during the George Floyd protests, because some idiot set a small fire somewhere, we can now claim that Minneapolis was burned to the ground by ICE supporters, right?

2001:A Muppet Odyssey

Anyway, the reason there aren't more conservative voices in the theater is conservatives don't go to the theater. They like to use the existence of art as a cudgel to browbeat their inferiors, but they actually think *making* or even *appreciating* art is gay.

🎶 they won't see us wuther from such great heights

there's a new scam going around where they offer you a place to live in exchange for a monthly fee but no matter how many times you pay in excess of the property's value they still keep charging you to live there

can't, I'm walking on sunshine

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

Fuck transphobia. Seriously. Death before detransition.

looks like Mamdani is gonna get his rent freeze this year after all. big news on the housing beat from @smaldo.bsky.social:

The solution for supportive businesses if this were to pass is to ban cis people from their bathrooms

primary use cases for AI so far: - plagiarism and cheating - stalking and abuse - self-induced psychotic episodes

Here it is, your moment of zen.

It just struck me that newspaper comic strips were sort of proto-posting: you come up with a joke every single day and eventually you either mellow out or become completely insane

I could tell you everything about the main 3 treks, a smattering about new series, but the only OG series Star Trek I remember is a single moment bc it was badass: someone going “I’ll protect you fair maiden!” To Uhura who kicks him right in the face & goes “sorry, neither!”

“Jackson is arrested in 1993 after blocking 5th Avenue as part of a group protesting against the Clinton administration’s policy of maintaining a detention camp for Haitian political refugees who were HIV positive” Remember this history as we remember this man.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

chican3ry.medium.com/a-rough-and-... If you need someone who isn't trans to confirm this, the 20thC has decades of academic research papers with psychiatrists and therapists bemoaning that trans people simply won't stop being trans. Not electric shocks, psychotherapeutic gaslighting, even Exorcism.

If there are a million W haters I am one of them. If there is one W hater then it is me. If there are no W haters left on earth then I am dead fuck that war criminal I don't forgive and I sure as fuck don't forget

do u think during the industrial revolution people thought the factory was their boyfriend

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

Want to have a little fun when reading about LLM bullshit? As you go, mentally replace every instance of "LLM" or "AI" or whatever with "RNG" (Random Number Generator). It's just as accurate! e.g. "Anthropic CEO Says RNG Could Replace Software Engineers in 6 to 12 Months"

For our U.S. readers, this shit right here is why there can be NO COMPROMISE on trans rights - not sports, not bathrooms, not clothing, not names, not BCs. NOTHING! Whatever 'bone' you throw to genitally-obsessed bigots will never be enough. I will not vote for concession on basic human rights.

The Pride flag at the Stonewall Monument is re-raised! New Yorkers won’t let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

with the dawn of LLMs we've finally unlocked a third form of user interface distinct from the concepts of a CLI or a GUI: the DUI

Way to go out on a low note
