That text is purly delusional, absolute humiliation of the USA on the international stage. Trump wants the world leaders to know, he told the PM of Norway (which notably is not Denmark) that because he did not get the Nobel (which the PM has no control over) he feels no longer an obligation to peace

Looking at the Board of Peace thingy and all the prior stuff, it feels like America's "Checks and Balances" turned out to mean people cutting checks for the president to give him good account balances.

It will never cease to amaze me just how shit creative cloud desktop and the rest as software is. The startup where it just does whatever for solid 20 seconds, the extremly resource intensive updates, the language problem where you can't switch languages without reinstalling, and more. I

Is... is this game development?

Videos are rendering and I have ~30 minutes until my next meeting so I guess I could give my opinion on all season 1 hazbin hotel songs. 1/~18

This milk goes into the square hole, hence the name "hole milk"

The Gang learns about OPSEC

You, an intelectual foreign policy wonk: The EU would do little to nothing if the USA attack Greenland Me, donning my new titanium grillz: I am personally going to gnaw through every cable going in and out of Ramstein if Greenland is attacked.

There is no way to do this without it becoming a privacy and security nightmare, not just for the wearer but for everyone around them, and the companies just don't care.

They call it the least Nazi looking administration. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Help I can't get some of the songs out of my head. Listening to them again has not helped with that at all. I got to be honest, the first season of Hazbin did not grip me thaaat much at first, and I think "Poison" and subsequently "Loser" were the first songs that got me (because they are bangers).

Maybe adding tomato paste was the secret to a good soup all along. And of course an ungodly amount of onions along with carrots, bell pepper, celery, and salt and pepper. I should make soup more often; getting soup pilled so to speak, all goated up in that soup until my unc days come.

I think reading some pro-AI skeets has further radicalised me against it. Notably the argument wrt to how good a model is at something. "If you do not like genAI because it can't draw hands, just wait as the models will get better. Better you learn how to prompt" absolute clown stuff.

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

I was at the bone temple and nobody there knew who any of you freaks are.

If you used ChatGPT and thought nobody else would ever see those chats: congratulations. OpenAI can get fucked here too. If these logs are such a privacy risk you should strive not to have them accesible for yourself in the first place. cybersecuritynews.com/openai-20-mi...

For your consideration

Given the propensity of political figures to write books after their main time is over, you know there is going to be a wave of tea spilled the moment he kicks the bucket. And there will be tons and tons of articles questioning why the book writers did nothing while it was happening.

Well I did get sidetracked with other things but a rough draft exists (a basic plot mindmap and a 3 page text draft) and I did some playing around in godot. Probably gonna sink my spare time over the week into this.

I want to believe that nothing ever happens wrt Greenland. The thing is, that for it all to get here, a lot of things already happened.

Maybe the AI bubble doesn't pop but instead gets obliterated along with all other economic activity if the Greenland thing goes bad. Evicting Military bases would fill an almost sadistic part in my soul that existed ever since "We kill people based on metadata." was acknowledged by Brandon Bryant.

“My viziers are loyal and would never scheme against me!” The viziers:

My stance on opinion and commentary pieces in newspapers is: They should only be from people working as employees at the newspaper, everyone else gets at most a link to their own medium/substack/ghost/whatever blog. Want to hear the opinion of a politician on an issue? Read their press statements.

After getting around to watching it over the last week, I have thoughts on Hazbin Hotel. But first I gotta re-hear Gravity like 100 more times before I can articulate them.

Queer people being able to love freely and without fear makes life better for everyone, including straight people.

Twitter‘s solution to making CSAM for free is to make CSAM for profit.

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

I think this might be my "keep me sane" project for the weekend, and a reason to finally use godot for something.

pov, you entered the right tavern.

Every file format, specification, grammar for something, should have comments. If GIFs can have them, so can everything else.

Attachment issues

Idea: A horror game where the lower your mind gets, the more of your screen gets filled with social media posts. At 100 you see nothing, at 70 you start seeing the outlines of posts from your follow feed, and at 0 your screen is filled with the discover feed scrolling endlessly.

What fucking safeguards.

This is really bad; Grok is now going into is third day of regularly producing nonconsensual deepfake pornography and nobody is doing anything about it. The "Mechahitler" and "white genocide" episodes were stopped much more quickly. I suppose this tells us all about relative priorities.

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

i know everyone is understandably down on tech as an industry but i love CES as our global Stupid Gizmo holiday. happy CES day to those who enjoy gawking at the dumbest, flashiest gadgets

When I named my quickly written post "Grok the Pedo-Machine" I thought for a second if that could be too much, but then I looked at the media tab and saw an image of a child put into a bikini by using Grok, so it staid.

New inovative tech: cyberpsychosis as a wearable gadget. Having a 3D avatar constantly in your fov and tell you where to spend money, is a cyberdystopia thing. The "live demo" in their product video reuses the same footage between cuts so I guess this thing wont make it far. youtu.be/dGA8-CkaSOk

In a move to get myself to write long form stuff, I set up Publii, a static website CMS, and am (mis)using it to build a blog. Did a quick and somewhat dirty piece about the Grok thingy last night, and I guess it is now on the internet (probably is gonna get some edits once I am fully awake again).

Funniest thing would be if Maduro got free on jury nullification.

I wonder why the US is doing a regime change in Venezuela? Surely for the peace and prosperity of the people that were hurting under Maduro, and not for any rescource extraction operations.

Oh so you CAN charge presidents with crimes

Jesus.

Terrible take. Literally every FIFA Peace Prize winner has done this.

Experiencing the frigidity of rugged individualism.

This grok shit is bleak. There seems to be an answer where an xAI employee uses the grok account and says something about guardrail refinment wrt the situation. But if you look through the grok account media tab you can still see some pictures of children being put into bikinis by X users.
