You'll make a muffin better...

OH SH*T Nana Grizol added to the Nola sh*w

LAPD killed a woman’s dog on Friday. The officers showed up 20 deep w/ a helicopter over a noise complaint. LAPD claims the dog “charged” at them. The labradoodle was wearing a Knick’s jersey, too. The video is distressing. I’ll link it in the thread.

I looked it up and the real account makes so many different 3D printed butt plugs that I bet this is a bit www.instagram.com/printypop3dp...

never ever EVER trust an automatic speech processing system. I use one for transcription and I go through each transcript myself, often at 75% speed to fix the errors (and there are always errors).

I have been working on societal impacts of language technology since late 2016, and my nightmare example since pretty early on has been using automatic transcription in emergency services systems. And today I learn it's happening *in my own city* www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... Short 🧵>>

The Knicks victory is generating so much passion and excitement that if it ran in a primary election, Establishment Democrats would not support it.

A colleague in CS once told me that Gen AI draws dicks everywhere because it’s been trained on so much stolen NSFW fanart. Going back and looking is quite funny because he’s totally right. It hides them in the little details as if it’s making the next little mermaid vhs box cover.

i knew rich assholes felt this way but i'm not sure i've ever actually seen them just say it in plain english

I think being anti AI is entering a more mainstream phase! While incredibly good at the same time we're finally meeting a low bar. This means: 1) more critical thinking is needed now as non-experts are making anti AI arguments so we could promote worse arguments overall — remember: 1/

With the IPO news clogging up the cycle today, a reminder:

So Erin Reed blocked me over this one but I’m going to take a few minutes to point out why this “reporting” is so bad and repost a few times to hopefully spread the word. TL;DR Erin either doesn’t understand anything about NYC law or politics or is outright lying about what’s happening here.

yeah, i'm done with RGG.

I've reported on Musk for around 8 years. I've co-authored a book on him. I don't think folks understand the rate of his wealth accumulation. Shortly after he helped elect Donald Trump in Nov 2024, his net worth was around $350 billion. That net worth has nearly tripled in less than two years.

nytimes' push polling accidentally causing voters to say that socialism is the centrist position

Because FIFA’s sponsorship deals require WC venues to have generic names instead of their regular, already-sponsored names, the result is that maps abiding by this rule end up looking like a campaign overview / quest line progress screen from a fairly cheaply-made video game.

hey so the prosecutorial misconduct is not limited to political prosecutions and is in fact a feature of the system and the people whose lives are most impacted are poor and never gonna be in the news (an insane thing to say given that the people making news have had their lives absolutely blown up)

Over at my Newsletter I wrote about the ongoing brunchlord destruction of CBS (and every other corporate journalism outlet)

this gets at one of the root problems of LLMs for creative work. if an LLM routinely sees a particular word, phrase, or idiom, it assumes it is significant and thus leans on it more if a 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 saw the same name hundreds of times, they'd get fucking sick of it

damn, screwworms look even worse than I would have guessed

Meanwhile, 2 days ago, at Visa headquarters: "Hey, did you guys see the news about all those AI agents that deleted those code repros & databases?" "Yeah, so scary!" "Good thing we're only giving them full-suite access to every set of payer-side account controls!" *High-fives all around* [Scene]

These morons really need to stop just taking the liars at their word about AI. The whole this is such a massive fraud.

Holy hell. Apparently, Pokémon Go users were unknowingly building a map that was sold to a military drone company, to make strikes more accurate. Mass lawsuit when, this is unconscionable. dronexl.co/2026/06/09/p...

@soundingline.bsky.social I’m taking the family on a road trip to the Smokeys next week. Is this shirt inappropriate?

Donny had a second big Mac before going in this morning.

Worth noting that in 1921, the American Yiddish-language press described the anti-Black Tulsa massacre as a “pogrom,” because they knew that was the word that would best make their immigrant Ashkenazi Jewish readers understand what happened. ingeveb.org/blog/the-mos...

30 billion street and environmental scans from Pokémon GO players were used to train US military drones www.resetera.com/threads/15...

lol

tfw the album is called the poet and the booklet doesn't contain any song lyrics.

These CENTCOM “fact checks” are feeling more and more to me like Kremlin denials, ie confirmation the thing they say didn’t happen did actually happen.

This is how Kingpin be having the cops set up in the second to last episode of every season of Daredevil before it all goes to shit & he loses control of the city

The reason the game industry keeps laying people off and canceling games despite consumer appetite is because the game industry doesn’t exist any more. It’s been subsumed into the black hole of venture capital, which deliberately believes there is value in treating every industry the same.

Profitable isn’t enough, VC have to make enough of a profit when they sell or IPO to fund their next leveraged acquisition as well as their next vacation home. Short term balance sheets are what matters because they’re not sticking around. This is what a house feels like while it’s getting flipped.

I am honestly disturbed by the swiftness with which "trans healthcare not available to anyone under 19" is going from being regarded, rightly, as collaboration with trans genocide and a fascist federal government to "the best we can expect" even among those who damn well know better...

just making sure i understand, these students were raided and arrested because of their beliefs and speech?

having fun writing my blog

Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

The FBI raided and arrested eight people Wednesday morning in connection with their alleged pro-Palestine advocacy at the University of Michigan

Some really crazy cases in here - cop looked up ex-girlfriend and family in Flock 100+ times - cop stalked wife giving "test" as reason - cop searched one plate 395 times in 10 months; was later fired Cops keep getting arrested for using Flock to stalk people www.404media.co/cops-keep-ge...

This is the President of the United States!

The Washington Post editorial board printing a straight up right-wing lie

Also fuck you if you are saying "riots in belfast- nothing new!" Or "this is nothing compared to the troubles". This is an organised, violent campaign by fascists to remove people from Belfast via terror. If you're less concerned cos it's not targeted at white people then get fucked.

oh no, link!

Had a great time talking to @chrislhayes.bsky.social for his AI End Game series on MSNow, covering the AI bubble, the SaaSpocalypse, the end of tech's era of hypergrowth, and the underlying economic fragility of data centers and the greater AI industry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mn-...

Free newsletter: The AI ROI debate has come at worst time for Anthropic and OpenAI - two companies that can’t afford to slow down thanks to their $1.1 trillion in compute commitments and a data center buildout that needs a trillion in annual revenue by 2030. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-slowing-down/

That's a pogrom. She's describing a pogrom

Earlier today rapid responders reported federal agents detaining someone on Grace & Olcott in Chicago. A nearby resident got video of an unmarked SUV striking a red car at high speed in the residential area around 10:24 am. He then described seeing men in tactical vests on scene, one marked "ICE."

prediction markets doing press and paying people to make society trust they’re accurate, then giving someone the trump admin has hailed as a “journalist” a paid sponsorship post to cast doubt on elections is horrifying. prediction markets need to be made illegal immediately

Providing more proof, or conceding that there’s a problem to be solved on the terms of people alleging fraud can appease the issue, will change nothing to what Trump says.
