zlatan taught me it’s okay to shit on people a bit more talented than me, and to really shit on people who are definitely less talented than me

JOKER: Not so fast, Bat-JERK! My LAUGHBangs will leave you BLIND as a BAT! BLUESKY BATMAN: Oof. Many people suffer from reduced vision. Not funny. JOKER: It's like, it's a pun. It's just wordplay.

NEW: Inside the fight over Claude Mythos 5. The Trump administration torpedoed Anthropic's newest, most powerful model. Sources told me the AI lab & other industry leaders spent the weekend trying to explain that Fable 5 wasn’t *too* powerful. Gift link: www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Happy birthday to the Trump phone

Craziest stat for me The Knicks had the #1, #3, and #5 biggest comeback wins in NBA Finals history In the same Finals

I'M LISTENING

When you ask ChatGPT or any popular LLM to tell you a story, one name keeps coming up: "Elias Thorne." Depending which chatbot you ask, he's a lighthousekeeper, clockmaker or explorer. His stories are also flooding Amazon's AI-generated book market, YouTube slop, and fake news. Who is he?

THANK YOU ZOHRAN

Inside me are two wolves. Their names are Look At This Nerd (complimentary) and Look At This Nerd (derogatory)

Really proud of these screens I made for @blippo.plus! Pixels, baby!

"find me a girlfriend"

they're calling it the most leaked meeting of all time

Public service announcement:

Funny to imagine the type of person that doesn't care about migrant deportations, free speech, gender equality, government corruption, or state-sanctioned murder, but rising RAM prices for their videogame consoles—that's where they draw the line

TLDR Belle Burden is very rich and has always been very rich despite her ex-husband being a horrible wanker. www.newyorker.com/books/page-t...

the interesting thing about referencing the "pink floyd naked asses poster" is you sound like an insane person to someone that has never heard of it

so far my best idea is XVOX

hmm what should we call the as-of-yet unnamed Vox Media 2?

Genuine question: what exactly are we all doing.

I feel like we all have at least one bad roommate story but this is a VERY bad roommate story.
