Total loss for the Trump admin on its attack against Anthropic.

A California jury just found Meta and YouTube negligent for designing their products be addictive to children: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Another challenging day for the theory that military adventurism always unfolds tidily according to plan

this site is still quite good sometimes

ooh is this like one of those "What's Wrong With This Picture" games from Highlights for Childen where you have to spot like 18 things that make no sense?

Want to feel old? All the teenagers who used to email Rockstar Games asking why you can't shoot dogs in Grand Theft Auto now work for the federal government

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

if this happened today no one who wasn’t in the stadium would believe it wasn’t ai

at no point was I able to accurately predict the next word

til there is a subreddit called r/fucknintendo

housing is more expensive now, but also a lot safer. this kind of home was considered cream of the crop in the 1980s

It's only force majeure if it comes from the Majeure region of France. Otherwise it's just a sparkling shitshow.

I love it when random underdog NCAA teams wear purple uniforms. Lends just the right chaotic vibe to the occasion

Oh yeah? Well my son, Aryan, is so based that he refers to Jewish and Slavic people as untermenschen

well done everybody

NEW: CBS will eliminate its century-old CBS News Radio service and cut more newsroom jobs as new top editor Bari Weiss's rocky tenure gets rockier. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... (by @liamjscott.bsky.social, me & @scottnover.bsky.social)

Congrats to Meta for bringing about a world where fake AI MAGA dreamgirls can accrue more than a million Instagram followers in four months as part of a scheme to funnel people to fake OnlyFans accounts and take their money www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... (by @drewharwell.com)

It would be cool to see more people on social media who are capable of denouncing or at the very least eschewing both antisemitism and Islamophobia, and recognizing that both are very real and very wrong, without any buts or caveats

TikToking ourselves to death

I genuinely respect that he does authentic old man posting. How did he tag the website, is he treating it as a reply all sort of thing or did he do it without reason

they called this a defensive foul

not to be that #notalltechjournalists guy but here is what i wrote about the metaverse in 2021: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

That Vanity Fair profile of Amodei has accomplished something rare and remarkable: pissing off the pro-AI crowd and the anti-AI crowd in equal measure in a single story.

this is interesting reporting but i think it’s worth pointing out that even if ai were to blame, humans would still be to blame www.semafor.com/article/03/1...

what if the metaverse wasn’t a failure but a brilliant 5-year long con to win an antitrust case

All the worst lyricists in the world agree on one thing, which is that the word “come” is an extremely clever double entendre

MARC ANDREESSEN: Four hundred years ago it never would have occurred to anyone to be introspective. MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE:

If you’re a Quest user PLEASE log out of Meta Horizon Worlds before June 15 or you’ll be trapped in there forever

the new public square

Simply wild — and troubling story — from @willoremus.com. "A journalist reported a missile strike. Then came the death threats." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

A journalist filed a brief live blog entry on an apparent Iranian missile strike that hit no one and caused no serious damage. Next thing he knew, angry Polymarket users were demanding he change the story—and threatening his life and family if he refused. My story: wapo.st/4lI6Pon (gift link)

Elon Musk's xAI faces lawsuit from teens who were digitally "undressed" by Grok. New from @faizsays.bsky.social:

“High of 77 with snow flurries” is the actual weather forecast in southern Delaware today

Researchers from the African Digital Rights Network, who co-authored the report, “said there was no real evidence of these systems reducing crime and warned that they allow governments to monitor human rights activists and political opponents, arrest protesters and lead journalists to self-censor.”

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

"Mainstream media" is increasingly a misnomer when applied to outlets that publish content created by people they employ. That's now a niche in a media market dominated by online megaplatforms that aggregate and monetize content provided for free by others. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

the moral of this story is, as always, never post on blewski

A DOGE software engineer is alleged to have taken records on more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... by @merylkornfield.bsky.social et al

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

That video of Epstein and Trump? It might be pro-Iran disinformation. Great story from @willoremus.com . Also includes a WH statement saying it warned "fake news" against being used by bad actors (who are actually fake news outlets) www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

New: Verified "news" accounts on X have gained over 10m views with a fake video of Trump with young girls. Turns out they're part of a pro-Iran propaganda network, which is successfully exploiting the Epstein Files to erode public support for the war. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

My brother, we had to explain a 1/3 pound burger was bigger than a quarter pound burger and still failed

normative claims aside i think this is a pretty insightful and mostly fair descriptive analysis of why platner holds special appeal to a segment of the left

can i say something without people getting mad

Interesting! Anthropic's Claude, the AI tool that the Pentagon famously banned last week, continues to play a crucial role in the U.S. military campaign in Iran, three people familiar with the situation told the @washingtonpost.com: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

people betting huge sums on other people's death is some straight-up black mirror shit but the person dying and then the betting firm finding a fine-print loophole to not pay them anyway is what elevates this to high art

There is an “emerging sense that Trump’s centrality to right-wing politics has an endpoint in the not-so-distant future,” @samrosenfeld.bsky.social tells @willoremus.com. “That all serves to loosen Trump’s symbolic grip on the right’s discourse.”
