lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

Discord lied. they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company. “facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Watching people unhinge in response to OpenAI announcing they are retiring GPT4o. Complete chatbot romance psychosis

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

humans have been doing siege warfare for millennia. there are countless ruins across europe and asia of impenetrable fortresses that didnt need to be breached to be taken. they were surrounded, blockaded and worn down into submission. definitely gonna go different for these guys though!

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

a variant of “everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about” is “sometimes a coworker is nodding and listening on the walk to coffee while responding to dm scams”

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

every company that signs a branding deal with Harry Potter would be one thousand times better off doing the same thing with Dragon Ball

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

an image flashed in my head of a discord exec seeing everyone get together in IRC in protest and rambling to himself like the grinch trying to figure out christmas: "they chat without exclusive unlock quests. they chat without memes. they chat without emojis, video chat, and streams."

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

You can take your used coffee grounds and mix them with 1/2 cup of white vinegar, it’s cheap & easy and it creates a huge mess that smells terrible

If you don’t believe you have anything to say that isn’t the mean approximation of a zillion different images that other people already made, that’s a deadness inside that no amount of attention or validation is gonna fix. Literally go touch grass, take a breath, and figure out your life.

I don’t want to laugh at a small business but also VERY funny

This guy being Evil Forrest Gump is tiring, man

big bill shakes is goated. sorry but i will never entertain the argument that he’s overrated. to write something like this and have it ring with such tremendous clarity four centuries later would be incredible if he pulled it off once but he did it dozens of times

Posting this here for reasons 😒 If you happen to see any Finji ads that look distinctly UN-Finji-like, send me a screencap. If you are someone who writes intelligently about something like "massive company running ai versions of paid ads without small company's consent" idk, maybe reach out.

Full on concentration camps. "We don't know half of what's going on in the camps, but we know enough" is echoing from 85 years ago.

Behold! The future of journalism! Axios:

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

It's crazy that if you have the first principle "human ethnic groups, physical differences aside, are not different in terms of mental capacity or 'inherent' personality traits" you are woker than 90% of the people who work for supposedly liberal media organizations.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

ClickHole article from yesterday that came true in 24 hours. clickhole.com/reversing-st...

For Liam.

"AI is a tool of fascism" really needs to start being one of the primary talking points

I need everyone who has ever counted buttons on historical clothing and uniforms, or painstakingly chose a color for a miniature's coat, or even taken a history class, to come together with me in hating this shit. aftermath.site/we-need-a-wo...

Most media headlines right now are like "We are laying off 2/3 of our staff and also the president is our ombudsman now" but somehow David Brooks got two new jobs in one day

Microsoft and Blackrock have "have largely given up on organic adoption [of AI] by consumers. They have moved on to a new dream of forced adoption mandated by government and managerial coercion." Fascinating piece here on what Davos can teach us about the AI industry by @mattseybold.bsky.social

If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …

so funny this immediately happens when software companies can’t pretend that ai was anything more than money moving between 10 different companies over and over and doesn’t lead to any real growth

I'm crying, this statement is so bad lmao

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

“Are the arts important?” Humanity practiced them long before they had use for science and will practice them long after math is gone. Is the dawn important? Is dusk?
