The way these "AI checkers" work is very, very simple. It feeds part of the text into an LLM. If the LLM predicts, correctly, the missing text, it scores that as proof the LLM produced the text. And LLM's literally stole *every fucking book and forum post ever fucking written* to train on.

I don’t know what to say. This is just insane:

I really cannot overstate how good employees - especially tech employees - are at optimizing for whatever metric you are paying attention to, performance-wise you had better make good and fucking sure you want a lot of something if you’re going to put up a damn leaderboard

Far from the worst thing we found while reporting on Lt. Daniel Miller, this complaint from a white man stood out as a particularly insidious way for Miller to push his apparent ideology: sorry man I have to give you this ticket because DEI. This stop also was not in his jurisdiction.

She is made of but cardboard, so her time on this mortal coil will be brief, but I hope she entertains and educates many during her stay. Wish her luck, everyone. 🫡

If you’re a leftist and you genuinely clamor for a revolution the skills you should be working on are paper map reading, digging, and like, how to read terrain

a lot of this brain melt is incorrectly attributed to view of texas as some sort of historically stunted chud wasteland but i assure you that if you were to propose a "don't mess with texas" anti littering campaign in 2026 hundreds of thousands of rotund impotent men would threaten to murder you

it's kinda killing me that he's labelled as transmisogyny and transphobia. Like sure, I suppose, but gun to my head I don't think if you asked me to name the top 10 things wrong with this guy they'd come up. Maybe not in the top 50

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

There's always time for fun...It's Friday night.

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >

Looks like this guy is getting Broadview 6’d (leaving the case in the hopes the judge doesn’t find out what he did to the grand jury).

For years but especially in the Trump era there's been this wildly racist form of Latino vote handicapping that insists they're inexorably moving right because of el machismo when all the data suggests they're particularly swingy based on the cost of living

my trend prediction for the back half of 2026 is that the "democrats are mom, republicans are dad" framing is going to catch on more widely and immediately become painfully overused

I need to find a doctor who will write me a note saying that I need two weeks off of work to do nothing but play skyrim on a new save file... if this describes you please DM me immediately

they want to nixtamilize our precious corn

Someone asked me the other day, “If Trump can just do whatever he wants, then a Democratic president can too. why is Medicare for All impossible? Why are reparations impossible? Why is anything off the table?”

I see people upset about this but this is nothing short of an obliteration of this freak by Tom Llamas.

This has been a weird conversation. Best wishes to you.

anyone done this yet

Trump bought stock in the UFC’s parent company while promoting fights set to take place at the White House on his birthday, HuffPost has learned

If you’re a leftist in the US you need to hold yourself to a standard where you can recognize what Bernie has done for the left in the past but more-so have to recognize that we all need to move so far to the left that Bernie is seen as incredibly & disappointingly moderate

This is how Trump’s racist reactionary policies are going to be pocketed by people who don’t really oppose them outside of the crude nature of its implementation.

Outside @governor.ny.gov’s midtown office with @thenyic.bsky.social @nyclu.org and more to say: New Yorkers demand NY4All! Gov. Hochul & legislators must protect NY families and end law enforcement collusion with ICE.

"Unlike other items people throw out once they have no use for them ... people who vape told THE CITY they often hold onto the disposable devices long after they are usable, letting dead vapes without enough juice or battery to use accumulate in what is colloquially known as a 'vape graveyard.'"

Comparing Talarico and Platner is really funny to me, particularly given that Platner could probably run very effectively as a Republican without changing any planks apart from dressing some of it up in libertarianism.

Ilana Glazer and I are both proud Jewish New Yorkers who believe unapologetically that our safety is inextricably bound up with that of our neighbors, including Palestinians. And that AIPAC and the candidates they support aren’t making any of us safer or freer.

Why I support local journalism

“As corporate elites take hold over the very pipes through which our information flows, journalism that serves people becomes increasingly harder to come by, yet ever more crucial, and what the people want is the truth.“

Milli Vanilli singer Jodie Rocco told AP that neither she, her sister Linda Rocco nor any of the other group members had been asked to come “My sister and I were shocked to see our name, ‘Milli Vanilli’, as one of the performers,” Jodie Rocco said

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.

Several commenters have pointed out that half of Milli Vanilli is dead but this isn't completely accurate- Rob has been dead for like thirty years but Frank Davis, the guy who actually sang, also died during peak covid and overseer Frank Farian ate shit from being old as hell about 2 years ago

I know that the AI shit feels like you're being inexorably steamrolled, and everyone it's fucking everything up for everyone. There's probably a megascale data center project around you. Find the next mandatory public meeting. Per usual, the more people, the better.

if only the pentagon had known about this beforehand….

I love this. Talarico is like a stock photo of “some guy.” he’s so nothing. they’re gnashing their teeth at a stick figure drawing of a man.

lol wait a second the new waymo robotaxi van is made by Zeekr? so it's going to end up that american companies can buy chinese EVs but americans themselves can't? incredibly funny outcome

a lot is going on in this article but my most gringo preoccupation: I can't get over the fact that if you say overtly racist things in Brazil they straight up put you in prison
