Oh cool, an Easter egg feature that traps you in a driverless car and kidnaps you when it's decided you've misbehaved. Imagine what a hacker group or ICE can do with this. The fact that this is even functionally possible is horrifying.

Last year ebay quietly opted everyone in to training AI based on your account activity. You can opt out of it here. accountsettings.ebay.com/ai-preferences

I don’t know why I was seized with the urge to find out what Dan Aykroyd thought of DISCLOSURE DAY, but my mannnnnnn

i’m sorry but farming is cheating. you didn’t scavenge those cucumbers, you grew them in your field on purpose and “found” them later. and that’s bullshit

the evolution of the character of "on cinema tim" from the "on cinema" film review series, thats america right there

this has happened like 4 times before btw lol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAM_pr...

watched the episode of mission impossible where they go to the hood and they introduce the most about-to-die man in the history of television

You could not make something like Project A-ko today, not because of any of the risque material, but because everyone wants to protect their intellectual property. From Yuji Moriyama's commentary track:

this is a terrific opening paragraph for a dystopian pulp novel released in 1997

Oh they're doing this so you can't buy it used

The West: Japan is extremely healthy they only eat seaweed and dreams there 7-11 Japan: Have you tried our new croquette macaroni and cheese sandwich

this was planned for Autism Pride day but i missed the actual date by getting distracted by things which i think is the best way to honour that particular thing

"For the first time in history, three fictional cartoon characters have sued their creator for sexual harassment."

This is an example of the way AI is a crystallization (though not the origin) of a post-information epistemic culture that has taken an anti-documentarian turn where information no longer operates as evidence of the real world, and conversely can no longer tell when documents are evidence of fantasy

Here is a public service announcement filmed by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1980s, and I promise that you would not correctly guess who pops up at the end if I gave you 10,000 tries

the gradual enshitification of the internet being reduced to 5 apps so even your dog can order food online was one thing but the attempt to remove the joy of creating art really does feel like revenge from some jock who tried making a YTMND years ago and never forgot the mean comments he received

okay these are just the biblical plagues

why is mikey madison showing her cleavage in half of it? (the answer is that aaron sorkin is a perv.) are reznor/ross actually scoring this or did they just lift a track from Ghosts to make it seem like it has artistic continuity from Network? And more importantly

I feel like as the years pass, we're forgetting who the true meme king of BlueSky is. And he doesn't like to be forgotten.

this video is twelve years old. insanely precise shot to land from that range

If you are ever lost in the multiverse and are looking for this particular version of Earth, remember: this is the only one where Michael Douglas starred in two seasons of a Green Eggs & Ham tv show. That is the primary notable thing about our dimension.

thinking about the evangelion crossover in phantasy star where they tell the eva gang that they're tulpas come to life from a cartoon and asuka isn't having any of that

if you play yoshi's story you are a FRAUD and CHARLATAN

"Tupac's estate" is not run by his family. It's run by some greedy corporate demon who seized it after his mother's death. In fact, his sister, who SHOULD be the owner/executor/etc of the estate, has apparently been trying to sue him for embezzlement. So "approved by his estate" is just PR bullshit

This bill is legitimately the thing we've been waiting for. Forcing AI to reveal it's sources would cripple it, because it literally can't comply with the law, because all of it is stolen- they didn't record it Please sign to hasten the bubble popping

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

San Antonio and New York City are finally gonna put it all on the line and determine which city makes the best salsa

I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃

I reread this article every summer myself. Everyone should read it.

My plans for where to go if I can't stay at my apartment just fell through. I really need mutual aid to keep from being evicted into these ICE-filled streets. I'm sure someone could help me but I don't want them to do it under duress. Please reblog. gofund.me/df7d3e031

I did the thing. #DashCon #ComboBreaker #CB2026

Yesterday Google made it very clear it will degrade Search to use the massive amount of traffic to goes through it to push its billions of users into generative AI tools they aren’t asking for. Search is no longer a portal to the web; it’s a portal to Gemini. disconnect.blog/google-is-it...
