This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

Vampires would experience time differently than a mortal, years passing in the blink of an eye. For a vampire, time is infinite and free. It is worthless. So why don't they ever show vampires using linux?

What the fuck

This is what Peak Male Performance looks like.

oh no my beans

Sorry I'm 3 days late, I was eating a pomegranate.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

The LUAS Red Line was thrown into chaos at rush hour this evening due to an incident at St James's. In order to find out what was going on with the service, the LUAS expected thousands of affected passengers to check their X account. It's ridiculous, enraging, and at this stage totally unacceptable

Don’t kid yourself, Jimmy — if a British cow ever got the chance, it’d eat you and everyone you care about

stock buybacks should be illegal!

I know nothing about cars so when my car was playing up I asked my neighbour, who also knows nothing about cars and he said "it's completely broken, you should scrap it and get another one". 1/

dig up, stupid

people ruin everything

Enshittification will slowly drive us all off the internet. It's already happening.

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Don't buy your big brother Big Brother for Christmas

People should have to do a stint in retail so they can learn to be friendly to retail workers, yes. But people should also do a stint in retail so they can easily recognise bullshit sales days for what they are

Getting my debris read today, I know it sounds kooky but it's less invasive than having my wreckage scoured and more accurate than mayday mayday in a box

Geordi, Do you know why the holodeck is not able to create a Charizard for me to battle? I wish to fight one directly. Worf

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

every social media company is bad but Meta really is uniquely evil

oh my god stop asking billionaires ANYTHING, tax the shit out of them till they stop existing and kick them into the sea

Tech 20 years ago: check this out, you can put the internet in your pocket. It has games on it! Tech now: check this out, we're sewing you into the middle of a human centipede between Joe Rogan and Adolf Hitler. You'll have no mouth!

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

If you're in a lot of strange coincidences you're exactly where the path led you so you should look for meaning. If you have to keep on adjusting the connections, it's just not sitting right, you're freeballing it

ya but Michael Collins went on to secure Ireland's independence

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

get them!

Is it weird that none of my neighbors are strange squirrel on my shoulder: I don’t think so
