if i came home to my spouse telling me that they got generative AI to delete 15 years of my photographs, their eventual x-rays would end up on the internet for people to wonder how exactly anyone put an entire keyboard up there

Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The *best version* of the Epstein scandal is that a wide swathe of American elites was palling around with a known child predator and explicit eugenicist for years on end — and is now closing ranks to downplay the severity of his crimes and their own complicity.

There is no way to fix the core problem, which is that the statistical production of symbols by definition is not based on their meaning

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023 people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

“The interview also becomes an exercise in intellectual peacocking as they invoke Socrates, Isaac Newton and quantum physics but pay little attention to Epstein’s crimes. Epstein reveals himself to be a living museum of racial prejudice.”

PERA PERA deixa eu ver se eu entendi essa nova das IAs …. A Open Ai vai querer uma PORCENTAGEM do dinheiro de uso do ChatGPT pra qq coisa comercial ?!!? A mesma galera que ROUBOU os dados do mundo inteiro pra treinar essa joça AGORA QUER % de direitos AUTORIAS?!?!? AhHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

I yearn for a time in the past when software just kinda sucked instead of being actively malicious

AI is literally a consent manufacturing machine.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

AI coding tools are showing me more and more the clear differences between good programmers and poor ones. There are more shitty programmers than I realized.

And then there’s the class of code dilettantes outside the tech industry who think they’re “programming with AI” in ways that are straight-forwardly beneficial, but are so beyond their capabilities & comprehension w/o knowing or accepting it that they can’t understand the problems they’re causing

The absolute garbage pouring out of some people’s mouths & codebases has driven home to me how big the chasm is between competent programmers & ones who think they are. And, horribly, the competent ones don’t think their code is that great while fully incompetent ones think “their” code is amazing.

Anyway, if you are still writing and understanding your own code in 2026, you have my deepest appreciation & gratitude.

The overwhelming amount of transphobia, racism, ableism like the r-slur and idiotic anti-woke shit I have to clear out of every vid I do on Starfleet Academy is disgusting. That YouTube still continues to algorithmically boost grifter bigot’s anti-intellectual rage baiting is frankly unconscionable.

AND it gets stuck all the time

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Pure barbarism.

It's weird I was REPEATEDLY told that payment processors "had" to ban all nsfw to mitigate the risk of processing CSAM. So if that's true then why wasn't X immediately dumped by every one of those payment processors when Grok turned into an automated CSAM generator?

This is a huge crisis that we must do our part on by rejecting generative AI. The more it infiltrates our systems, the more fucked we are over time.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

man if only someone said this beforehand if only literally anyone said "dude ai just makes slop so it'll need to be fixed after anyway" IF ONLY

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Given everything happening right now, I updated this article with options for weather apps, web forms, and translation services — along with some tweaks to existing categories. I hope it helps your transition off US tech!

What I continue to remain shocked by, possibly unduly, is how hard capitalism punished ordinary workers for cutting corners and doing the bare minimum for decades, and now it's totally pivoted to telling us cheating is cool.
