Let’s gooooooooooooooo

Genuinely cracking me up that pro-AI folks keep trying to frame opposition as a “lack of AI literacy” when the entire reason many of us oppose it is because we DO understand what it is (and isn’t).

It’s hard to be optimistic these days, but I am looking forward to Nuremberg 2: Electric Boogaloo

Love that a carcass-desecrating lawyer who gets his health facts from conspiracy sites and episodes of Parenthood is in charge of the health of the country. What could go wrong.

If any candidate in the midterms and elsewhere made their platform anti-AI, that’s a populist hero. I cannot overstate how overwhelming their public support would be.

Fuck directly and entirely off. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

In Germany, Google is liable for false answers in its AI "overviews" that pop up at the top of search results. I wish we had this in the States. Make them pay for misleading users. the-decoder.com/landmark-ger...

“Would you like to be haunted by a moronic ghost?”

Me: ok, so the most unrealistic part of Jurassic Park is that the lawyer is on board for this horrific concept- TB: I’m sorry, THAT’S the most unrealistic part??!

Maybe RFK Jr’s voice is like that because his throat is haunted by the furious souls of every animal corpse he’s defiled.

No. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/s...

As a straight myself, what the genuine hell is wrong with the straights?

The leopard has eaten the face that you wear every day and which you were probably hoping wouldn't be eaten Forgive him he is a leopard so unhinged but so predictable

Unfortunately for the White House, we do, in fact, have functioning eyes.

Please end each other.

The whaty what spider now

The copy of The Scarlet Letter I read in high school had the helpful margin thoughts “the ‘a’ stands for ‘affair’” and I just-

Well, this is delightful.

Guess again, motherfucker.

Not nostalgic at all, but they used to at least pretend to be giving you what you want and now it’s just “this is inevitable,” which among other things, is the language of abusers.

"the evidence actually shows that cameras cluster in neighbourhoods where opposition parties organise, where protests have happened and where the press has “made trouble” for ruling regimes."

On top of the breathtaking cruelty, this is some of the most impractical, nonsensical, unworkable shit I’ve seen published (and I say that as an American).

It’s been a fascinating week learning that the people who pick commencement speakers either completely misunderstand or deeply dislike the students involved. That or they’re literally using ChatGPT to decide on speakers.

If someone thinks I’m AI because of my em dashes and sets of threes, that’s on them. I’m not changing my writing style to stay a step ahead of the theft machine nobody wants.

The most patriotic I’ve ever felt is when GBBO tries to do anything “American.” Paul Hollywood talking shit about American pies being “too sweet” the week after he was guzzling caramel fills me with rage (and let me assure you that not a single pie in that episode was American).

Do we think Kyle at least got to pick the style of boot before licking or…?

I’m sure I should respond professionally to yet another abjectly spineless, feckless complete abdication of the most basic standards by Polis but what the fuck is wrong with you, man.

“For three years, everything that happened in the entryway of Willie Banks’ Westbrook home was captured by his neighbor’s security camera.” “What he didn’t realize until recently was that a state drug officer was using the camera feed to watch him in real time without first obtaining a warrant.”

My office decor IS a vibe, I just never claimed it was a chill vibe.

Why is so much of tech STILL just phrenology whak-a-mole? To answer the headline question: no. www.economist.com/business/202...

So when we say the vibes are bad…

Everyone, including leaders in Congress, agrees that the U.S. needs a federal privacy law. But a bad privacy law would be worse than no law at all. Unfortunately, the GOP's recently released SECURE Data Act is worse than any privacy law we've evaluated.

This prompt reveals such a fundamental misunderstanding of what AI systems are and how they work. Gen AI systems are built to replicate patterns. They are not built for accuracy.

More lawsuits like this, please. www.cbsnews.com/news/pennsyl...

The Rightscon chaos is not just devastating to all the @accessnow.org folks who have worked so hard to put this together but also all the academic and nonprofit participants who spent a (likely nonrefundable) fortune on travel as their budgets are being gutted.

What in the pluperfect fuck are you talking about.

Thank literally everything that I renewed my passport recently.

In news that absolutely everyone predicted…

Figured out how to fully turn off AI search in Google! (In Firefox, at least)   • First, go to settings (in the drop-down menu when you click on the three lines in the upper right) • Click “Search" on the left-hand side

“If you ask tobacco companies to help write your school’s policy on cigarettes…you’re going to end up with guidance on how to smoke responsibly in school.”

Me booking travel: I’ve done this a million times, it’s an easy connection, I know how to navigate airports ☺️ Me in the midst of travel: AAAAAAHHHH! AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I see way too many comments on the Patel story that his job is in trouble because “Trump doesn’t like drunks.” He appointed Hegseth. He had ketamine bro running around stealing data and slicing budgets. He does not give a shit.

Explain to me why I was looking at a pea pasta recipe and the first THREE comments were some variation of “but what if I don’t like peas? 🥺” Beloved, NO ONE is forcing you to make it! Accept that some things are not for or about you! Why are you making your personal tastes this person’s problem?!!

On Wednesday at 5 p.m., EPIC Deputy Director and Director of Enforcement John Davisson will speak on a panel about building accountability into data systems at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy. Register to attend here:

President Trump is urging Congress to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, but lawmakers in both parties oppose extending it without reforms. Congress now has a chance to protect Americans’ privacy. bit.ly/4tASUmW

I’d prefer that fear actually stopping you from doing the horrific things you’ll be indicted for, but thanks for the image of you all constantly miserable and anxious, vibrating with fear like anemic chihuahuas.

Look, it’s possible a family is actually this cooked, but this is giving “my very real girlfriend who lives in Canada” vibes.

I need this man to let me have a damn weekend. www.whitehouse.gov/releases/202...
