This technology that people in school administrations and higher education are demanding everyone get behind because it's "the future" and "we just have to accept it," which is, nfn, the language of abuse.

Like... there's no defending this as an educational tool. Sorry (not sorry)

"Why are we paying for this slop?" is a question I ask nearly every day I never get a good answer

Sloppers fuck off. If you can’t do it yourself maybe learn to be happy as the audience www.sonnyross.com/shop/aisucks

here’s an under-discussed danger of LLMs: training you to show your moist ass in public it happens when you spend too much time chatting with bots, and lose the ability to persuade actual humans — who, ofc, don’t have a system prompt to tonguebathe your puckered asshole every time you fart

Not all heroes wear capes.

NEW: An AI image generator startup left its database exposed online, unsecured and accessible to anyone. The "overwhelming majority" of the files inside contained nudity, with images appearing to contain children and explicit face-swaps

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

I can’t tell you how glad I am to be released from the disgrace of Temu ACIP. I made a commitment to watch and comment on these proceedings. Not sure I’ll do it again. In summary, ACIP is no longer a legitimate scientific body. Every U.S. state needs to decouple their vaccine policy from ACIP.

i am begging game developers and musicians who are not putting your soundtracks on bandcamp/ampwall to just... do that... please... i will not be streaming your music off A Music Service. let me actually give you money.

The Hepatitis B vaccine was expected to prevent 9.5 million infections, 2.4 million chronic cases, and save 600,000 lives in the US by 2050. The federal vaccine committee has blood on their hands.

Another day of looking through my Steam recs and seeing that more than 50% are like, "we used ai, but like, only for x." Fuck off. Instant ignore. Anyway, I agree with the worm.

I spoke to the New York Times in this great explainer piece by Charlie Savage www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/u...

Today in the most depressing thing I've ever heard

“The Justice Department ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out”

Joint Statement of the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix.

I'm intensely bored by the question of whether or not video games can be art. They are. The broader question is whether or not they are *doing* interesting, provocative or layered things as art. Are they exploring? Pushing boundaries? Does games culture want them to be more than Fun Machines?

looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign

Well, shit.

Also so dangerous for engendering suicide

While the majority of people will use AI if it’s free, they are not willing to pay for it. If they thought enough people would upgrade to an AI tier or add an AI add-on then they would’ve done that. But then that would also be less helpful for data mining so.

I can count on one hand, maybe two, the number of Democrats in Congress who understand the fight and don't deserve to be primaried

Prison rape is wrong. Jokes about prison rape are wrong. Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong. If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity. BUT A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

The institutional "fuck you" of ai is so degrading.

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I am a woman who joined the Let’s Rethink Chicks Having The Right To Vote Party and I am concerned they do not take me completely seriously, somebody please help me

this is right up there with the gundam captions replacing the word gundam with "condoms"

I have literally seen shitposts on Bluesky cited by Gemini as factual, in statements screenshotted by the original shitposter themselves and reposted to Bluesky. Never, ever, ever, EVER trust AI, gang.

I just want some of these fucking people to face real consequences

Right now is the time to support primaries for any do-nothing Ds. We've got an incredible chance to win a bunch of seats in 2026. Let's fill them with fighters, not chumps.

“'Librarians out in our branches are seeing a lot of young people who are really excited by these collections,' Langlais told 404 Media. 'Folks who are coming in just for the games are picking up program flyers and coming back for something like that.'"

They should also LOUDLY APOLOGIZE.

What sticks out to me is how absolutely unafraid of prosecution this psychopath is. Part of it is narcissistic personality disorder, but it's mostly the perceived weakness of Democrats. Should they retake power, no one expects Democrats to hold anyone accountable.

This is horrifying: “A Pittsburgh man who allegedly made 11 women’s lives hell across more than five states used ChatGPT as his “therapist” and “best friend” that encouraged him to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women”

I find it really hard to believe their God would approve of such tactics

www.cnbc.com/2025/12/05/c... tech in the usa has no moat these days

If we're going to tax billionaires, I don't want them to "not even notice." I want to keep going until they stop being billionaires. This isn't radical, it's the bare minimum of how you prevent a society from imploding.

We're cooked, y'all. Fuck this shit.

“Details are in flux, but current plans call for SoftBank to help facilitate the construction of factory clusters, cranking out fiber-optic cable, data-center equipment, and, ultimately, AI chips.”

AI is a lack of consent project, and we’ve now entered the lovebombing and smear campaign section of the engagements

This one hurts. 🥺

This, among millions of other reasons, is why any attempt to meet transphobes in the middle was always a form of abandoning trans people. Like immigrant demonization, any attempt at all to give any credence to right wing talking points was always just ammunition for the right wing.

No. No it can’t. At least not accurately. And we should think LONG & hard about what it means to “diagnose” something you have no intention of bringing resource to treat. Through eye scans. That could be collected without someone’s express consent. This version is a recipe for weaponized med tech.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

There is only one reason to do this: Because you want LGBTQ inmates, and those held in custody, to be unsafe and to suffer. As ever, the cruelty is the point.

The Supreme Court of the United States is an illegitimate body, and every Democrat should run on negating and replacing it

Public smoking bans just got in under the wire, too. Younger folks might not realize how rare they used to be and how hard they were to enact.
