stopped when gf and I couldn't beat Deep Blue. this was 44 games in, where did the evening go. sorry Garry

Their love of white supremacy and doxxing their enemies brought them back together. 🥺

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Late to watching Andor S2 but glad the first episode doesn't rush through requisite leftist in-fighting

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

We only care about corruption when people we don't like do it. But Heydrich the Second? Doing a great job with the disappearing.

it's not a statistical or a computational limitation, because that implies that if you have better statistical methods or bigger compute or bigger data you can get around these things the problem is that you're modeling word tokens; you can't get out from under that this isn't revelatory though

I’m at a community meeting about resisting ICE in Chicago. There are about 400 people in this high school auditorium. Chicago is showing up.

*stares at the camera* We didn't need a study to tell us this?

This is effectively a Confederate memorial.

In Section 3.6, what stood out most was the recognition that "the (extreme) obfuscation of labour appears to be a defining factor of AI technology" + sources. I was just reading about Data Workers Inquiry in the @dairinstitute.bsky.social newsletter from Dr. Milagros Miceli. Such valuable work!

companies make it difficult or impossible to disable ai in their products because it is an authoritarian project made from a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat they don't give you a checkbox for "i don't want this and will never use it" because they know many people would check that box

turns out Tesla's Austin "robotaxis" have crashed three times already, apparently within the first ~7,000 miles of operation! two appear to be the Tesla getting hit, but one was clearly the Tesla hitting a stationary object, resulting in minor injuries not great!! www.forbes.com/sites/bradte...

Yes Indya. Immediately putting this into a future slide

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.

Universities. Rural hospitals. Tech companies. Several sectors are going to be profoundly hurt by this. Not to mention the chaos of the moment as current H1-B owners scramble to get back to the U.S., cancel travel, etc. due to the uncertainty. An absolute mess. As intended.

REPORTER: What would you say to those who question whether Sandy should be here next year to coach you guys again? STEWIE: What Da Fuck #WNBA

Unsurprising, but-- “I agree with the concerns expressed by parents and players that we have to take into account biological factors such as muscle mass and unfair student athletic advantage when we determine who plays on which teams, especially in contact sports,” Harris writes.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad. One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

Student walked in crying - a man swung at her in the subway spewing hate. She wears a hijab. Class gathered around her. A student stepped out, I thought to take a call, but she returned with a gift of boba tea. I am filled with sadness & fear & love for these students. @CUNY proud.

I am not only a meathead because getting gains is great and helps you fight fascists, but also if I don't work out I forget to eat until 4 PM

Republicans just pushed a resolution to "honor the life and legacy" of anti-LGBTQ+ rights leader and extremist Charlie Kirk. Half of the Democrats voted in favor, including transgender representative Sarah McBride.

“The drive to adopt AI is, of course, part of a much longer story about the decline of quality journalism across the world, driven by the dramatic reduction of advertising revenues, the consolidation of media companies, & the loss of trust in media as an institution.” buttondown.com/maiht3k/arch...

Just a reminder that Writers With Drinks is happening tonight at 7:00 p.m. at Strut, 470 Castro St, SF Featuring queer romance, robots, witches, trans elders of color, and more. This will be our last show for a while, so I'd really love to see you there. It's free, donation requested. Mask up.

A lot of my family is from Newtown Connecticut. Charlie didn't give a damn about their, or the hundreds of other children that have been murdered in schools. Crazy that all of their murderers are allowed to have these undeniable "wins" and yet now this is suddenly preposterous. Hypocrites.

OpenAI won't say whose content its video tool was trained on. So @nitasha.bsky.social & @kevinschaul.bsky.social did a deep dive and turned up some telling clues... www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

Massively shameful, decidedly uncool, pathetically pandering to OpenAI. Reconsider, @ox.ac.uk

They should set up a lottery service that lets common people to be EIC at news orgs like Semafor. People who maybe have had to be slightly scared of consequences.

Holy moly. The current WNBA salaries are (accounting for inflation) still below the salaries of the ABL, a player-centric WBB league that preceded and, for a moment, competed with the WNBA.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

"if you’re in San Francisco on Thursday for the AI Conference, stop by on your way in and talk to us. It’s free. We’re the real face of the workers at companies like Uber and Lyft — and our jobs are being negatively impacted by the adoption of AI."

NEW: ChatGPT is causing chaos in marriages, as one spouse becomes deeply fixated on AI therapy/advice/spiritual wisdom — alienating the other spouse and, often, resulting in divorce. In some cases, ChatGPT-enmeshed spouses are using the tech to bully their partners. futurism.com/chatgpt-marr...

An immigration judge has ordered Mahmoud Khalil to be deported to Syria or Algeria. News of the Trump admin’s continued pursuit of the freed Palestinian activist comes as it expands its war on speech even further, this time against Jimmy Kimmel.

ON BARI WEISS’S PODCAST AHAHAHA

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

I just… what the fuck is even happening

Minnesota's 28 points were its lowest first-half total in any game in the last two season
