My second favorite found marginalia was in a used copy of Charles Brocken Brown’s Wieland. The book was marked up on only one page, and it said in loopy handwriting, “Stacey is constipated.”

Having read the article, it's clear this is less "AI" and more a continuing extension of current automation already existing in fly-by-wire cockpits. But that just brings to mind the specter of the Boeing MAX, where its automation was sloppy and lazy because corporations don't give a shit.

They have eliminated whole departments and so so many teaching positions, raised tuition, all in the name of cost efficiency with excuse of under enrollment… 😡☠️😡

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

I put in eight years at Twitter and did what I could. But it became clear that the new algorithm throttled what reach I once had. Realized staying there was just giving cover to a right-wing project. So I left. If you think "we" need to stay there or "we" can make a difference, you're delusional.

i recently logged into my twitter account and checked my direct messages. (text in image contains a variety of slurs, consume at your own discretion)

this lady is upset because someone triggered her bonkers husband and now she has to spend the rest of her day calming him down and rationalizing his behavior to their poor children

“Girls don’t like me because I’m smart.” 🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣

Political is when a black quarterback silently kneels Not political is when a white quarterback introduces the president’s speech at a campaign rally

New York Giants players, including linebacker Abdul Carter, (rightfully) seem pissed about Jaxson Dart palling around with the president. It’s the kind of thing a player should think about before backing an overtly white supremacist politician.

NEW: Tina Peters speaks out in defense of Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D), says the Democratic censure of Polis for granting her clemency is further evidence of an election rigging coverup.

it’s timeeeeeee! time for what? for your quarterly reminder that when we are angry we take a breath. drink a glass of water. talk to our therapists and friends. and we don’t do what? post anything that could be read, in any way, even ungraciously, as a threat of violence. that’s right.

“Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?”

really can’t be overstated how much Polis was out on a limb with the Peters thing there are definitely issues on which “the Democrats” suck but on the topic of Tina Peters it was “Jared Polis sucks” the entire state party is furious, you don’t censure your own governor lightly

“Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?”

I think a lot of people should go to prison when this is over

As Karl notes, the rage against AI is a rage against capitalism and the oligarch extraction class using it bluntly and proudly to consolidate even more wealth. The goal is not new, but the overreach is, and I hope it radicalizes a generation against the entire corrupt system that's eating us alive.

we asked the plagiarism machine if the story was plagiarized THERE ARE PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED HUMANS WHO TESTIFY ABOUT THIS STUFF IN HIGH-STAKES LEGAL PROCEEDINGS MAYBE ASK THEM INSTEAD

“rage against AI is white fucking hot, entirely justified, bipartisan, often indiscriminate, and inextricably woven into soaring disgust at the authoritarian-coddling extraction class. And you'll never be able to separate the two regardless of what your fancy new software can or can't do.”

That's because 2 x 0 = 0

I did a "This u?" skeet at Playboy Magazine, then went to sleep I just woke up to learn that the skeet shook Playboy so hard that their new editor-in-chief made his *first-ever* posts on Bluesky solely to tell me they're listening and learning from past mistakes I feel so powerful 🏳️‍⚧️🌟🗣️

Who would win?

Hello Bluesky. It's Playboy. For our first, and timely post, we share our latest investigation into OpenAI's disastrous plans to become x-rated. "Altman’s idea of an “erotica” feature seemed riddled in uncertainty." Read our piece "Why ChatGPT Can't Be Sexy" here: www.playboy.com/read/politic...

everything is stupid

they’re doing goose-steparations

and now, your moment of zen. 🎥 (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYhEwUvv67q/)

when you see trump talking about the ballroom and instead understand its a cult leader talking about his compound it makes a lot more sense

And while your at it add #TheExpanse seasons 7, 8 and 9 ok it’s a big ending that stick the landing so add a season 10

Every day brings a new set of headlines that if you'd predicted them in October 2024, you'd have been diagnosed with a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

He's not leaving, folks.

Everyone is vexing for fun and sometimes profit. Have you vexed? I bet you know someone who has.

Truly we are living in the stupidest of times.

I should have included the link but there's a very, ahem, cheeky semiotic analysis of this: velvetshark.com/ai-company-l...

Why don't you make like only God can, and... make, like, a tree?

Yeah, rounding up in this case actually buries the lede

"According to Velloso, less than 3% of paying users actively use Copilot, even though Microsoft has pre-deployed it directly into the Windows 11 taskbar and across the Office suite." lol, lmfao

screaming "REPRESENTATIVE!" at the drive-thru window

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Congratulations! You just won a class action lawsuit against a company that hoodwinked you. Your settlement is a $5 gift card to use at the company that did you dirty.

on the one hand, it's a straightforward anti-corruption play that incentivizes better qualified people to want to stay in government. on the other hand, These Motherfuckers

If you're wondering if Ross Barkan's plagiarism was limited to NYMag: No, it was not. He's written for @nytimes.com 16 times. I looked at his most recent story, from last summer, about Zohran, clicked on a link in his context paragraph, et voilà. First: Barkan Second: @dankaufman70.bsky.social

Every Trump appointee was picked to specifically destroy their assigned department.
