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

If you guys think this Geese story is scandalous (I don’t), wait until you find out how much AI UGC populates the algorithms. Yes that’s a dystopian concept, and yes it’s a big reason I’m leaving tech marketing.

Hi, I’m pyloric stenosis

@netw3rk.bsky.social re: the pod Everest story: I saw at least 5 guys have meltdowns because a porter in flip flops asked them to step aside so they could go past. They were furious that a poor kid in sandals could hike faster than them while carrying gear.

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

Vaxxed?

He’s basically calling himself the dumbest man alive, which tracks

“Thousands of people telling me I suck made me $1,500” isn’t a brag (and probably explains social media brain)

This explains a lot, actually

The first time I’ve seen a paywall and thought “Thank God”

“We’re not the kind of stupid that you say, we’re a different, bigger kind of stupid. Checkmate!”

The Planeteers have aged TERRIBLY

I care about ballet and opera a lot more than I care about Timothee Chalamet, but I will always maintain a baseline level of respect for a man who convinced the world for like three straight years that the height of glamor is to look like a pixie that's six months late on its Mustang payments

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Since the troll column seems to have worked: The very very very very very very very obvious question is not "why hasn't the left embraced AI" but "why has the right so eagerly embraced a tech product built on theft, sold by fraud, and optimized for abuse and misinformation"

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Set Fire to the Third Bar - Snow Patrol

It wasn’t good, but after the first 2.5 quarters the weather gods decided we needed something different and I don’t fault them for trying

Quote with a gif that shows where you’re from (not a lot of options for this)

While it made it as far as dress rehearsal, Tommy Brennan's Weekend Update desk bit on Trump's ICE deployments in his home state of Minnesota did not make it to SNL broadcast. But they've made it available anyway. And you should watch it.

A fun game to play on the timeline right now is “wait, did Terry Pegula or Donald Trump say that bullshit?”

Don’t laugh, Ted Cruzs only only do this when they’re cowardly and pathetic

Keir Starmer isn’t polling well because he’s governing like Sunak and BoJo. It’s not hard, Matt!

Loved this from Steve Kerr, and his appreciation for being a fading dynasty www.espn.co.uk/nba/story/_/...

There are a lot of benefits to moving to the UK from the US. Given my level of football consumption, not being subjected to this guy is one of biggest. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not totally the point, but Matt saying “I advocate for modern dems doing what they’re already doing because they’re doing it” is some circular, sycophantic nonsense.

I read a while back that no country had gone from majority white to plurality white without heavy state violence, and I think about that a lot.

How can you not be romantic about sports

Putting together an outreach list for a client and the saddest shit imaginable is the SF tech bro on X with a Studio Ghibli avi, 2k posts about AI, and 60 followers. Even the bots don't like you, my guy.

Perfect end to a cursed Chiefs season.

BYU ninety yards on their opening drive and 81 since 😬😬😬

Will Cain is a whole bitch who got wrecked in sports and had to go shake ass for racists for money

Russillo in shambles

This has to be the most tedious way to go through life

Lamb is torching McDuffie. Not great!

So you’re saying you don’t like slop being shown to you without a way to avoid it? Huh. Weird. Anyway, real answer is that you could make your account private for a few days while the world moves on, but that’s incompatible with attention being your primary goal.

This is what being a Chiefs fan should feel like. Just abject horror and being good enough to make mistakes at all the wrong times. Feels like home.

@edsbs.bsky.social surely this is a record?

😇 Oakland and 😈 San Francisco

I genuinely believe this is a huge part of the LLM worship; half of these people are functionally illiterate

“Why can’t people find social connection on our platform?”

I had a real rough summer break between like 7th and 8th grade and read A CALL TO ARMS and PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER in about 3 days that was definitely an inflection point

and I guess to answer the question, the reason I watch sports isn't to make assertive statements about who is and isn't cheating, it's because I like watching sports to see what happens when athletes attempt greatness. that's part of what is a huge bummer about scandals like this.

Bankrupting CBS and selling to Newsmax is going faster than I’d thought possible

If I wanted to reduce cheating on pitch bets, I’m not sure that “make the bets harder to catch” would be my strategy

Okay first off that’d be KFFF not KFF you blanket ladder but there’s a second more important thing too
