One of my favorite things about vaccines is that they make me harder to kill

were so fucking back guys

I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

"I am a Trekkie because Star Trek isn't woke" Star Trek:

You know I don't like waking up every day realizing I am in 50 First Dates-ass-scenario except it's the President of the United States

Picard ethics tip: Before undertaking a mission, it is our moral imperative to consider any obvious negative ramifications.

If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there? Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff." You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!

one of the most important conversations tech companies should have about every new feature and product is "how can this be abused" and in OpenAI's case they apparently decided to make that the selling point for their new app this is a million lawsuits and ruined lives waiting to happen

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I do not want to be rooting for the legal departments of major copyright holders stop making me do that

man the mental health difference between online and offline is pretty big in normal times but it an absolute chasm right now being super aware of what’s happening is important but my god it is a drain

"but america has always sucked, why are you surprised" don't want to hear it, if you can't seize the ideals that people attribute to this country - even inaccurate ones - and use them to your advantage you have no business in this fight right now

the right has spent decades claiming the mantle of free speech for themselves to great effect and it's time for the left to take a turn this is the united states of america and you should be free to express political opinions without being hounded out of society by a government-fueled hate mob

AIs are stochastic parrots regurgitating random string of words in the best case, but the way Musk lobotomized Grok to spew transphobic crap shows you how it can gets worse. Much worse.

I may be American, but I’ll never be the Gestapo.

Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.

it’s not that we don’t know how to solve a lot of these problems, it’s that we don’t want to

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

And also - THIS! Like, it doesn't matter which way in to this problem you come, he gave an idea that doesn't work FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SCIENCE FICTION. This is for a system of *DATA PROCESSING CENTERS*. For which milliseconds of lag matter! Milliseconds!

That’s nothing. One time, a dude was so wildly insecure and self-promotional that he bought Twitter.

“So are you a pedophile, or do you simply not mind working with them in a professional context?” is now a fair-game interview question with Meta on your resume.

Going to start calling chatbots sycophancy as a service.

Wow I’m so shocked that an AI coach isn’t something people wanted. Almost like human connection matters or something

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

Tell em, Neil

Late night reading—it’s so interesting how so many of the musing in this book as still so relevant today. Im only on chapter 10 so far, but it’s been a really interesting, albeit technical & mathematic, book.

Reality: I am a piss-weak manager who’s scared of confrontation so we’re staging a layoff solely so I can fire Steven with a less difficult conversation.

important context for headlines like this: Altman also runs a company (Worldcoin) that he claims will solve this problem he also created

Venus Williams just won her first match in two years and at the end when they were interviewing her about what a miracle it was, she said she had to come back and play a match; they told her she was on cobra and she’s always at the doctor so **she needs the health insurance**

Sam Altman telling the Fed he’s worried about AI fraud is like a bear telling the park ranger he’s concerned about all the mauled campers.

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

Unlike CEOs and other executives, individual contributors understand concert OPSEC

We asked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for his and his staff’s emails with Elon Musk and Musk’s companies. The governor’s office won’t turn them over, saying some contain “intimate and embarrassing” info that is “not of legitimate concern to the public.” 🤔 @lmcgaughy.bsky.social @kutnews.bsky.social

no they won’t, hope this helps

I see we are having a/c discourse today my friends, respectfully, this is 101 level climate discourse staying cool saves lives and you do not need to feel guilty about it. promise. no one benefits from your a/c guilt, least of all the planet also heat pumps that both heat and cool are so great

I’m frequently furious at how much work it takes to keep myself in at a functional health level, active in my career, have a social life & hobbies, eat well & exercise, and all those little dumb chores you have to do over & over. I don’t want AI, I want a Jetsons robot

I started playing Detroit: Become Human and holy shit. Not even finished, but I’ve sobbed multiple times There’s decisions that can lead you to a protest for android freedom, and it evoked visceral emotions for me So many parallels to the current political situation

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

“this is just what ICE’s budget is now and we’ll be yelled at if we try to reduce it” is an unacceptable answer for any Dem going forward and anyone who makes this argument should be primaried we simply cannot allow this apparatus to entrench itself

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

Robinhood: “Own OpenAI stock, sort of!” OpenAI: “We don’t endorse this.” Bro, you trained a model on the internet and monetized it by the word. You have no moral high ground left. People believed this was real because it feels like your whole business model.

After critics called the bill a “get-out-jail-free-card” for Big Tech that could make it nearly impossible to rein in social media platforms, Senator Marsha Blackburn killed her own compromise. (from @knibbs.bsky.social) www.wired.com/story/ai-mor...

The right has done this with so many issues. Look at a lot of social issue, like trans rights. It became a huge talking point because of conservatives, not the left. The left merely responded to the attacks. Yet I see this parroted across the left all the time. Everyone is susceptible

"Virginity is Fake" is one of the most important things that sex ed can/should teach young people. So many people are hurt, in more or less devastating ways, but the social pressure and misinformation around virginity and the need to preserve it OR lose it
