They admire Trump for successfully executing these coverups and want to help him do it (the same way they all ran 'mueller report totally exonerates Trump!' headlines after the barr letter)

“This test where they ask me to identify a giraffe is REALLY tough!”

I know Bluesky has serious issues but its not infected with a chatbot that creates CSAM on demand so, I dunno

the thing that strikes me about the Grok "apology" thing is that even those of us who are against "AI" as it is marketed to us have trouble not falling into the basic fallacy that they are trying to sell us, i.e. There's A Little Guy In There

It seems like there's criminal liability here for xAI. This isn't a Section 230 thing because it isn't user generated content. The reality is that a crime was committed by publishing CSAM. We CANNOT let companies create AI that commits crimes without any liability. Nothing good will come of that.

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

Child exploitation content on X/Twitter sharply increased under Musk, who not only abruptly disbanded the group of volunteer experts advising the platform on child safety, image exploitation, and other abuses in 2022, but tried to blame them for the company's CSAM problem www.npr.org/2022/12/12/1...

The best outcome is for regulators to block this deal, and Netflix has to pay several billion as a result.

Cinemas and filmmakers should tell Netflix to go screw themselves.

me seeing an article about the 25 Hottest and Most Popular Celebrities: haha who are any of these people? me seeing a screenshot of a horrible post by CeleriusAvignon8888, Based Viscount of the New Bayesian Duchy of Pure Reason: oh it's this fuckin guy again

The mall was closed for good. But it was open...for EVIL!

“I was thinking it must be nice to have a partner. Someone who understands why we do what we do.” I could read comic books with Robin and Superman teaming up all day long. Especially when paired with Kevin Nowlan art.

"engage your core" what am I, a nuclear power plant? The earth? Do I look like an apple to you?

Turns out politicians can *do* things? Did the other ones know this or?

Me earlier today: I really need to come to terms with the idea of death and dying someday. Probably not good to have anxiety about out that stuff already. Merriam-Webster: The thing that will define 2026 for you is "approaching death".

Didn’t hit the goal in time so had to pay for the room for just today at the regular/non long term rate, so I still need to raise $600 by tomorrow morning before my shift at work or I’ll have to go day by day at much greater expenditure. Anything anyone is able to spare would be greatly appreciated!

A message for you all to carry through the year

Helt sjukt att svensk media bara går med på "knarkbåtar".

Happy New Year everyone! 💕✨ May it be a peaceful one, even by FORCE!

I'm genuinely moo'ved by this

Finished up this delightful book nook build that spouse got me for Xmas. It was soothing blend of Lego building and puzzle making that I found extremely satisfying, promoting extreme focus and deep work that magically settled anxiety. Now I understand the "old people working on puzzles" stereotype.

Det är förbryllande att vara emot trans övertrumfar allt. I Kvartals ögon är Ekis en Hamasvurmare - men viktig röst för "genuskritik" och tas därför in. I Parabol publiceras flera pro-Israeliska "genuskritiker", pga de är emot trans. Så länge man delar transfobin är alla andra åsikter oväsentliga.

"Tänk på barnen" har använts som argument mot sexualkunskap, HBTQ-rättigheter och sprutbytesprogram. Det är sjukt att en bra tanke har tagits över av alla de objektivt värsta människorna

Daglig påminnelse om att transkvinnor statistiskt sett löper ca 400% högre risk att mördas än ciskvinnor. Det är alltid viktigt att prata om mäns våld mot kvinnor, men att måla ut transpersoner som boven i dramat är verkligen bara extremt oärligt, vilseledande och transfobt.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Mamdani: "While only action can change minds, I promise you this: If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn along side you, and not for a second hide from you."

If you're even slightly interested in the X-books, I recommend starting your year with Paul's state of X-Nation overview of the Age of Revelation and the line as a whole, as it's a good, measured, thoughtful piece

Don’t worry gang, no one actually starts their New Year’s resolutions on the 1st. And you’d be silly to begin on a Friday, best save it for Monday. But Monday is the 5th so you’ve kind of missed the boat anyway and can safely put it off for next year.

Happy new years, peeps!

Got a new thing of makeup to wear when I’m on camera and the brand name seems like something a killer robot would shriek when it sees you
