They didn’t even try to name it something less obvious lmao

My "we're not Enron" memo is generating a lot of questions that are answered by the memo

i'm going to sound sarcastic here but genuinely one of the most interesting aspects of LLMs is that they are proving that evil is real, by which i mean if you train them to do one bad thing they start doing other bad things that you have not trained them to do

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

good job indie devs

that's so weird like there wasn't a big interest in an inconvenience store

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

Part of the reason for this is that the truth is so awful it defies belief -- akin to literally stating GOP policy positions, people will literally not believe you because, paradoxically, it is so bad that they think, if it were true, everyone would already know and no one would stand for it.

Couldn’t figure out how to cast to the room’s tv so instead we are watching what can only be described as “Korean car crash reviews” this is diabolical but I can’t look away

Korean spa: Entry - 15,000 Won Scrub - 20,000 Won Lunch - 12,000 Won Failing at a crane game 37 times - 37,000 Won Coffee - 5,000 Won Someone help me budget this, my family is dying.

Every day I wake up to a little cat doing something chaotic because I live with a literal cartoon character.

Sheldon remind me when did Chuck Schumer fight united with the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

"You fucked up and lead your unit into an ambush" is never met with "why don't criticize the enemy, who were *shooting at us* instead?!" because certain things are implicit.

You underestimate how much I value smiles

lmao good stuff, loved seeing the LEGO Technic man repeatedly eating shit in various ways youtu.be/68LwytImuPs

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

genuinely wild the number of quote tweets that see this as an insult toward mamdani rather than as praise for his discipline and skill at translating personal charisma into political appeal

You don't hate Elon Musk enough

Extremely nerdy news, the fancy christmas lights I ordered an entire year ago, which feature white LEDs in colored casings instead of colored LEDs, finally arrived. So excited to have an energy efficient replica of my childhood. Thanks @techconnectify.bsky.social for turning me onto them!

Spotify is now running recruitment ads for ICE. It’s time to cancel your account.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Was the Dingler there

I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

My better offline challenge coin came!

This is an actual visual map of the Circular Vendor Ponzi laid out by @anthonycr.bsky.social We're in the phase where they are making sure that none of the nodes die, but it is becoming increasingly thinly stretched It's likely in the terminal phase. If one of these faulters, the whole thing pops

A lunchtime walk in war torn Portland Oregon.

The state goons are powerless before the awesome might of someone in an inflatable frog costume, and you seriously expect me to believe the situation is hopeless?

NL stream segments be like: "NL reads the lyrics to Sk8er Boi" "NL will not be playing Hades 2" "what is the self?"

Due to a bizarre code interdepency in Super Mario Sunshine, Mario can gain permanent aggression to durians. While normally, he can handle them gently, if Mario enters a sewer and jumps once, he will become incapable of kicking them with anything except full force.

Time for me to buy a lottery ticket, the half full jug of washer fluid in my garage PERFECTLY refilled my washer fluid, no excess.

To Donald Trump, “doing his job” means censoring, deporting, and killing people so, no, I would not like Donald Trump to “do his job.”

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Disney reverses course on Kimmel. Lessons: -Trump's anti-Constitutional stances, anti-1A in this case, are unpopular -Popular resistance via expression and spending choices can have an impact -Many corporate leaders are weak, amoral people who'll bow to threats unless they face countervailing ones

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

About to get thrown out of here for obvious reasons

The charcuterie wanter

My new shirt design is a very serious PSA that I was asked to make, because apparently a lot of people don't know. roryblank.bigcartel.com

"On the last episode of his show before he was killed," Kirk told "his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”
