OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Just a note that “Antifa” a non existant organization has been labeled a terrorist group so they can disappear anybody at anytime for any reason. They know it doesn’t exist, that’s the point. #usa #fascism #policestate

Kid has listened to nothing but The Smiths on repeat for a couple of weeks, watched nothing but Sherlock and Dead Poets Society and has just got a big long coat. He is one viewing of Harold and Maude away from turning into a small pile of autumn leaves.

My 5-year-old kid just got really excited about the prospect of selecting his very first password, a 4-digit passcode for his iPad. "Oh, my sweet child," I thought as I contemplated the lifetime of passwords ahead of him. #parenting

If your book(s) were, or are pirated on LibGen and subsequently used by Anthropic to train its AI models, the courts have ordered them to pay a minimum of $1.5B. Authors might/could/perhaps get an estimated payment of $3,000 per work (based on current estimates of the # of pirated works trained […]

So what about an app where you have an open (crypto obviously) bidding marketplace to purchase various government officials and politicians? It can be confusing to navigate the current landscape!

The phrase "Trust but verify" never made a lick of sense to me. Seems like the "verify" part mostly negates the "trust" part. And you could simplify it to verify* *fucking verify the claim and any assumptions

And as HBR expounds at length: "workslop uniquely uses machines to offload cognitive work to another human being. When coworkers receive workslop, they are often required to take on the burden of decoding the content, inferring missed or false context. A cascade of effortful and complex […]

"Low effort, unhelpful AI generated work is having a significant impact on collaboration at work. Approximately half of the people we surveyed viewed colleagues who sent workslop as less creative, capable, and reliable than they did before receiving the output. Forty-two percent saw them as less […]

Ah, Bluesky, my sweet summer child. You're going to enforce your "rules against harassment and toxic content". And then you'll discover that it's the same set of people doing the toxic shit. And those toxic people are connected to really powerful people from a specific political party. And […]

They want you mad at trans people and immigrants so you don’t think about them shifting wealth from the bottom to the top with every move they make. And Trump’s trillions transfer is accelerating the process.

Malignant narcissists can't stand when you make fun of them because they lack any real sense of humor or introspection. And they're totally fine with trampling on the First Amendment if it makes their critics quiet down and self-censor. From NYT: "President Trump threatened on Thursday to […]
