Sexchat is the best end for ChatGPT because that's all it will be known for and then it will just relegate itself to that dark little corner and stay quiet

Apple unveils an M5-powered iPad Pro and makes the update all about AI www.techradar.com/tablets/ipad...

Ooooooh nice, in America you don't fuck with the trains because here trains carry money and goods not people Train people are quietly incredibly powerful. In Texas the railroad commissioner is more powerful than the Governor

I thought my Discover feed was broken but actually I've blocked anything everybody can talk about

Yes! Abughazaleh framing ICE as Secret Police is perfect

Good. Do it. DO IT

I trust the midterms will go off without a hitch, I say

I saw Darren Aronofsky at Google I/O justify using AI in films because you couldn't get a baby to consent in perpetuity, and he wanted to help make a movie with a lot of baby stuff So, yeah, AI actors are going to be used to circumvent consent issues... ie. basic humanity

I don't care that CBS News is smaller than it once was Like many adults, I point to Fox News as the springboard for misinformation and propaganda that sent older and naive relatives headfirst into the empty pool of the right wing CBS is now Fox News, and we need less of that, not more

Tilly Norwood is no more an actress than ChatGPT is a person, and I'm tired of people getting this wrong www.techradar.com/ai-platforms...

I got an email pitch about a "Four-tuner DVR for the price of a two-tuner DVR" and I suddenly remembered that I believed TiVo would fix everything until I encountered CableCARDs

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their “property”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.

The problem with waiting for the other side to do the right thing is they will just ban whomever they please when they control the platform then when they lose control they will cry again about being banned

I was an overnight DJ on WBRS radio in Waltham, MA To prove nobody was listening, one night I offered 2 front row tickets (that I did NOT have) to see U2 to the first caller Maybe my audience just didn't like U2?

You know how people get "begging the question" wrong? This is an example of "begging the question" for real Bloombergs treats the existence of a so-called AI actor as supposition that it might qualify for an award This is not an actor and the possibility only exists because Bloomberg supposes it

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation. Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

Star Trek is not worth Authoritarianism

Time to cancel everything Paramount and CBS

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 will power the next Galaxy and phones that will hear and see everything www.techradar.com/phones/andro...

Remember Salt Bae? Presenting Salted Caramel Bae from the Media Lounge at Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit

He’s dressed like a Torah mantel

While I was reviewing three Pixel phones at once, I found... and adopted... two adorable kittens Here's a little story about Poppyseed and Pumpernickel www.techradar.com/phones/googl...

Me: I'm worried that Beesly will get jealous over the new kittens Beesly: No time for your emotions, I have children to raise!

I got my Nomad and Urban Armor cases for my iPhone before the iPhone itself #iykyk Nomad's magnetic leather back cover is like the Polaris Slingshot of phone cases and I freaking love it

This is it. Cancel culture, but for real. The Twitter Files, but for real. Actual, unadulterated collusion between the government and media-owning corporations to censor Americans. Shame on the MAGA libertarians and fake-heterodox civility cops who helped pave this road to authoritarianism.

The quiet bravery of a phone reviewer recommending the mid-range model instead Sure, we carry $3,000 worth of phones in our pockets, but we all know the $800 model is good enough for <shudders> most people Makes me queasy just thinking about this take

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Dudes will say this every year and then in five years talk about how much the iPhone has changed and they miss the old iPhone

Jealous that Woz got to meet Lance

Meeting an industry legend is always cool. #AppleEvent

Huawei could probably end the Huawei ban if it offered a bribe of a million free tri-folding "Trump Phones"

Like "Apple thinks the Air is so thin what about my Oppo X Find N5 Pr..." BRO can I even get that for free at T-Mobile? Then what are we talking about

Today Apple will pretend it invented the millimeter, while the heads of 1,000,000 geeks carrying phones you've never heard of explode at once

Then announce a bunch of old Lego kits as part of the Holochamber

1. For $1,000, where's the rest of it?! 2. I was almost worried they wouldn't have the trash compactor, but of course they have the trash compactor

This looks so awesome The reMarkable Paper Pro Move is the rare gadget that gives me exactly what I wished for, nothing more and nothing less www.techradar.com/tablets/rema...

This feature is so useful it's the reason I recommend buying the Pixel 10 Pro over the Pixel 10

I wrote 14,000 words for work this week and it's still Wednesday Get ready, coming VERY soon...

Toys from the 80's went hard as f#ck

Last night I was visited by the Cat Distribution System I have never kept a cat as a pet, but I found these two next to a trash can near my apartment Working titles are Pumpernickel and Poppy Seed Please don't tell my kiddo that I already love them and we may have to keep one or both

having thought about this for three days, my current status is: what the FUCK are we doing trying to ban social media for kids and not banning AI use? we are literally telling them not to use the computer to talk to their real friends but instead to the imaginary technology monetisable 'friends'.

Dear non-NYC companies-- Brooklyn is really far away from most NYC people If your event isn't near a train stop, rethink it

1983 classic red dragon cover Larry Elmore #dndart

If you are surprised Trump hires January 6 insurrectionists, please search for "Brooks Brothers Riot" and ask your parents about 'chads'

Yes, that is literally how Republicans recruit

As part of the setup of this I once again encountered the absolutely shitty U2 album that I have actively removed from my devices for 11 years now. It really feels like that was a harbinger of this dark and abusive new tech era.
