Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month

For those curious this is a negative 5900% gross margin

Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss. reddit.com/r/AugmentCod...

Yeah it's that simple: OpenAI needs to build 3GW of data center capacity, which will cost over $100bn, and they need to do so in around a year. All three of these deals are based on unreleased chips too. Where the hell is the press on this? bsky.app/profile/hors...

Seeing Broadcom, NVIDIA and AMD boost off of deals that involve OpenAI promising *each of them* 1GW of data center capacity BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR makes me furious. A data center takes 2.5 years, and none of these supposed developments have even had the land picked. It's all a lie.

recurring gripe of mine: stop talking about these people like they’re fucking supervillains, Palmer Luckey is grifter bullshit artist who is going to steal a lot of public money in exchange for buggy vaporware, he’s not Lex Luthor. they get off when breathlessl hyperventilating about them like this.

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

Pritzker should be held responsible for the police nominally under his control; that being said, this is going to be a problem for every politician you try to sell us on as a savior. Because everyone of them, and many of their supporters, refuses to actually confront what the police are doing.

Extremely funny that people think this is now a Pritzker hate account when all we've been doing is documenting the same police violence we've been documenting well before this ICE surge Sorry for disrupting your worldview. Welcome to what cops are!!!

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The NY young republican who said that rape is "epic" looks like a fuckin ventriloquist dummy

It's against Facebook's terms of service to reveal the identity of America's secret police.

Time to tune in to some analysis from Antifa expert…Chef Andrew…Gruel?…founder of…American Gravy Concepts?

really do genuinely feel that our local press needs to find a better word than clash for interactions between federal agents armed to the teeth with chemical munitions and actual guns and some neighbors who are yelling and maybe throwing found objects. not even delving into protests facing the same.

105/N. Feds rammed a car that crashed into another, then a foot chase. Neighbors protested. Gas deployed by feds earlier today. Here's what they left behind. A thread of photos. #chicago

openai epic handshake with various ancient civilizations: "what if god had big tiddies"

October 2025 AI gooning is the master of the Internet Only Claude stands against it Waifus are now battlefields

The pivot from “I’m building god” to “I’m building a jerkoff tool” is pretty funny

The angriest I’ve ever been in my life was when the Jeremy Renner app shut down before I could download the last DMs my dad sent me before he died

LMAO - so this "amazing new technology: is gonna be used for ads, porn, surveillance, and giving the illusion of efficiency (so greedy bosses fire half of their employees), while burning the planet? It definitely makes sense that universities are pushing it into every ffing task 🫠 #ResistAI

Somehow today I got a notification from YouTube asking me to rate *the notification itself* and now my phone keyboard is asking me to rate it, and I feel like Google has lost their mind

video shared to facebook around 11 am shows at least four border patrol agents chasing people into the walgreens at 106th/ewing—about 4 blocks away from where feds later unleashed tear gas. an agent is seen tackling someone to the ground. someone else screams that they’re an american citizen.

A pilot out in Nova Scotia seems to have had some fun yesterday. www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...

they're all like this and they've been stewing in their hate and sex driven ressentiment for the last decade. you cannot make it up. you cannot parody them in a way that exceeds their own farce.

beyond parody

i'm sorry but i'm so goddamn tired of all these old weird tech twitter/postrat etc people getting random sinecures for what is nothing more than dressing up fascists as lurid and fascinating individuals who, half of the time, they're openly friends with.

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

Here’s an article about it in WIRED: www.wired.com/story/satell...

This is amazing research by Nadia Heninger and her co-authors Wenyi Morty Zhang, Annie Dai, Keegan Ryan, Dave Levin and Aaron Schulman. TL;DR a huge number of satellite links over our heads are totally unencrypted. satcom.sysnet.ucsd.edu

Did we partner with @pintpeddler.bsky.social to support vendors for the Midnight Ride? Did the bike team buy out 5 vendors today? Did our Vendor Bike Tour next Saturday sell out so we had to add more tickets? ICE won’t stop, neither do we. ✊🏽 🫔 🔥 🧊

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

Happy Indigenous People's Day from an Italian heritage street festival in Chicago's Viagra triangle where, yes, Bob Fioretti, dressed in a "Dignitary" sash, is collecting signatures for yet another run for elected office

lol “find your own instead of stealing” in defense of columbus day

The Ricketts' are having Wrigley Field converted to an ICE facility during the off-season.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.

You have to really *try* to convince a 20-year-old that it’s not worth asking what justice or freedom or social good is. They don’t come by that incuriosity naturally.

once again: they are! the same guys!

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News. Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios. www.axios.com/2025/10/09/d...

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Helicopter currently hovering over the lakefront near Promontory/Hyde Park

There is an entire political party dedicated to indulging the fantasies of balding, middle-aged men who want to play army like they're eight year olds.

Oh I get it! I am read often as anti AI and I am anti Gen AI deeply but it’s fascinating to watch how folks shift when they realize I think AI has uses and frontiers … just not more important than consent and the environment

But, in our founders’ infinite wisdom, Lee Greenwood and Bad Bunny are both represented by two senators

As someone who works with satellite and 3D imagery, this project reinforced how crucial it is to question what’s rendered as truth. Keep an eye out for some follow ups in different mediums looking ahead Full story w/ @972mag.com via Oren Ziv: www.972mag.com/israeli-army...
