Why wouldn't I want AI "transcribing and enhancing my meeting notes" sounds very convincing and tuned to nuance and tone hello Gemini I am being sarcastic!

"The Great American Cotton Plan" ?????

It's not even a proprietary model! This AI startup will feed your script into Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude, ChatGPT and predict its "success" with audiences. (It thought Christy would outperform Sinners though.) @charlespulliam.bsky.social looks into the dubiousness.

For 7 months, @dompreston.com dug into Trump Mobile every week. Delivery dates came and went. Specs changed. 2 flag stripes disappeared. There was a suspicious potential prototype. False claims that T1 was "here." This week, Dom breaks down why the presidential vaporware can't be "made in the USA."

Apparently it’s more dishonest to write about facial-recognition code embedded in software distributed to tens of millions of people than it is to embed it there in the first place.

It's still crazy that the internet is already so infested with AI slop, we're considering labeling human-made content instead. @zombiewretch.bsky.social says:

its @dmehro.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social joint back at it again double trouble etc

In this episode of " @terrenceobrien.bsky.social yells at AI," why Spotify's AI remix tool is an abomination to music and remixes

When attacks "look less like commands and more like conversations," white and red hat hackers pretend as if LLMs (which are not alive) have personalities. (They don't, but they behave as if they do.) @theroberthart.bsky.social on The Stepback:

I'll have something coming out about this eventually but to say this killer was motivated by just "nihilism" is wrong: The killers glorified neo-Nazis They promoted Siege and ideas like "accelerationism" Their influences were ripped out of a "Terrorgram" documentary. www.cbsnews.com/news/san-die...

I enjoy sending stuff from my 2013 mailing lists to @steviebonifield.bsky.social and they have to figure out if it's a functional computer thing or an art

Bespoke hand-made internet pages

It isn't "racial pride." The manifesto, which I'm reading right now, is a total slop-bucket of neo-Nazi accelerationism with misogynistic rants and multiple sections that are completely unfinished. It lionizes Brenton Tarrant, who murdered 51 people in a NZ mosque in 2019. nymag.com/intelligence...

CEO commencement speaker: WOW you‘re booing me? i’m just trying to tell you about all the benefits of AI, which is making me lots of money at my company, which will not hire you

If I never responded to your first email, you are not, in fact, "circling back"

“AI currently holds the potential to bring down the publishing system as we know it.”

Because they want to use the pretense of treating addiction to track users with AI, censor movies, and blow up boats: www.cbsnews.com/news/new-whi...

I personally love to read shit like "U.S. Pauses 'Project Freedom'" in headlines. Not all good jokes need to be complicated.

I have never been prouder of suggesting a headline in my life www.theverge.com/report/92000...

Neuralink’s longterm goal is a "symbiosis" of "the human world" and AI. "Being out there among the stars" is a thing that can "make life worth living." And "AI will be probably as smart as any human as soon as next year." Ok bro! 🍿 Live Musk v Altman updates here: www.theverge.com/tech/917225/...

"And what doesn’t really come across in all these memes is it’s a heartbreaking story... It’s a deranged penguin." - Werner Herzog to @knguyen.bsky.social on the DHS using a clip from Encounters at the End of the World, in @tinanguyen.bsky.social Regulator this week www.theverge.com/column/91262...
