Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

remember when celebrities seemingly randomly started coming out talking about how much they loved NFTs and thought it was super valuable and the future?

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

We're watching the open web as it existed die in real time.

The impression I get from the outside looking in is that AI coding tools are a bit like Tesla's FSD. You're supposed to be babysitting it every second but that's exhausting so people eventually just get lazy with it, drive their car into a school and get told they weren't using it properly

Vox trazando las líneas que el PP debe cruzar por debajo para conseguir su apoyo.

2000AD founder Pat Mills talked to Joel McIver about an evil empire in which satanic overlords crush their minions into hopelessness. Moving on from the publishing industry, he also discussed the fictional world of #JudgeDredd #ThePortal: Your Weekly Quietus Archive Dive buff.ly/avnmxMH

Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.
