Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

One of the things that makes me think we're not going to make it is seeing a regime that is super openly proudly wielding government power to punish and regulate speech and then seeing people say "well this wouldn't have happened if the government could punish and regulate speech more."

why does the “you can’t fight it” rhetoric around AI feel so familiar?? 🤔

Erin Brockovich’s website that has a map of major AI data centers in the U.S. that are either operational or under construction.

This is so so so important. Take the few minutes it takes to read it and be prepared for summer swimming.

"Remember the hype over smartphones as educational tools? Now, there’s a global movement to ban smartphones and social media in schools altogether." Mind-boggling that people simultaneously advocate for cellphone bans AND for using "AI" in schools

Someone posted yesterday about how the language used around AI was that of forcefulness & not consent. It was all "you have to use this" "It's happening whether you like it or not" "Embrace it or suffer". And that it was very techbro, because their products loathe consent, & so do they as humans

some dope earlier this week tried to gaslight people by saying the pushback on AI mirrors the pushback when the internet went mainstream and no it fucking does not! people were excited about the internet! ffs it wasn’t 100 years ago, a lot of us were THERE

My regular response to these people.

I’m on a long trip with my mum and dad. Many strange things to see and explore. You might think they grow things like oranges and grapes in Italy 🇮🇹 🍇🍊but I will show you something quite different in this video 🤭. #pets #dogs #boxersverige

Found my next car…

None can match the epicness of this spaniel side eye

i feel so mad that so few recognize that ai protein folding is inherently untrustworthy llms make the most basic mistakes when you stray even slightly outside their training data, and protein folding is even less deterministic than language, entire alphafold thing was an ad campaign, not science

I was skeptical, but here's the Armed Forces own paper about it. taskandpurpose.com/news/arlingt...

It hasn't yet ceased to amaze me the distance of understanding between the elites regarding AI and the rest of us regarding AI. They really don't seem to notice, let alone understand, the growing backlash. I have never seen such a clear and immediate chasm of perspective on technology.

Based on all the statues they've dug up, it seems there was an enduring fad for nose jobs in the ancient world, lasting for hundreds and hundreds of years, and it was a tragedy. I think they looked better before.

No, he really, really doesn't.

Okay, but you coud do this with anything. Watch. Lamb... wool. Shit!

Going back to Musk launching unguided missiles after seeing NASA pull Artemis 2 off flawlessly really puts everything into perspective.

Surprising no one, things did not in fact go according to plan.

A patient with type 1 diabetes has begun producing his own insulin after receiving a transplant of pancreatic cells. For the first time, islet cells have been edited so they wouldn't be rejected by the patient, removing the need for immunosuppressant drugs. www.sciencealert.com/first-of-its...

this snake is judging the shit out of you. you know what you did

I heard just loosening the cap on this within 30 paces of RFK Jr. would cause him to scold you so hard he'd shit himself to death out of his mouth.

A federal judge in Alabama has suspended a lawyer from practicing in his court for six months after finding the attorney submitted a brief with false quotations and impeded a probe into whether an AI program was used to draft the filing.

At this point, generative AI has to go the way of the dinosaur. It literally has to be rooted out and the companies associated with it driven out of business. The idea that it continue in its current form is intolerable and a complete disaster at a time when we have no margin for error as a species.

The vehicle’s sensors registered Herzberg’s presence in the road from more than a football field away. But over the next 4.5 crucial seconds, the system became confused, bouncing between identifying her as another vehicle, a bicycle, and a category simply called “other.”

ST. LOUIS—Apologizing to all customers who had received a defective product, pet food giant Fancy Feast issued a massive recall Friday for 1 million cans of food that cats just kind of stared at before wandering away.

Under Donald Trump, the United States government is a fuming, splashing caldera of FA desperately in search of a FO.

I don't want it in my pc set I don't want it on the internet I'd rather use a pen and mouse Keep GenAi out of my house

All together, now.

Simpsons season 10 was still firmly in the area of 'great' IMO

Microsoft is having to cancel its internal AI usage because the cost is too high. This is despite Microsoft owning a large percentage of the company it gets its AI from. The end is coming and the AI collapse has begun.

With just a single feather, the turtle managed to attract the attention of the female peacock.

The assumption of normalcy that Trump stooges have been exploiting can turn around on them pretty quick once it is made sufficiently clear to the judge that normalcy is no longer safe to assume.

CORRUPT AF: A pair of new reports released this week by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics disclosed thousands of stock transactions made by Trump in the first three months of 2026. Read more here: https://yhoo.it/49MywaH #TrumpCrimeFamily

I don't place much strategic value on the reasons given by the DNC's consultants as to why the Democrats lost the 2024 elections so badly, because these are the same consultants whose advice led to the Democrats losing the 2024 elections so badly.
