Good to see space for these views to be explored in detail; a refreshing read explaining the bubble and how responses against AI aren’t simply fear…

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

“Instead of saying a model is “good at” something, say what it is “good for.” Amen to this. Even creatives are urged to use gen AI and yet the point I always come back to is WHY use it. And the only answers to that I’ve ever seen are: it’s quicker, and cheaper. So: a win for bosses not creatives.

After an intense discussion about geopolitics, these are the last two things my Uber driver said to me: “As I see it, World War Three is inevitable. Please rate me five stars.”

Just saw Sentimental Value at the movies. Probably going to be tough to top that in 2026. Was utterly engrossed and moved, a beautiful film, I think.

if these fuckers invade Boston all I ask as a Massachusetts native is to hear a bunch of guys from Southie going FACK YOU YA FACKIN NAZIS on camera

An earlier post by the same: > First of all, let us set a baseline, the absolute minimum any large language (or other AI) model must do. This is respecting the licenses of the training materials. This is the absolute minimum chronicles.mad-scientist.club/tales/on-eth...

Great stuff, Bandcamp. Nice clear statement!

We’re articulating our approach to generative AI so musicians can keep making music and fans can trust the music they find on Bandcamp.

in yet another world first we will be integrating a child pornography website into our military. wow. impressive

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

Lol: “Imagine calling yourselves the ‘master race’ but forgetting to secure your own website — maybe try mastering to host WordPress before world domination,” Root wrote."

It's press release Monday. Every news story will be derived from a press release as it's the first day back. Expect lots of stuff about dry January, fitness and giving stuff up.

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster

My father calls me over. He shows me a video of dogs being rescued. The hands of the humans are warped, mangled stumps. Dad is so touched he cries. A friend sends me a Christmas gift. It's a t-shirt with a picture of a crow. It has three feet. 🧵

They genuinely cannot distinguish between “this sounds based and gets us a lot of retweets from our neo-Nazi fan base” and “this is in reality a good idea.” They are pursuing lunatic authoritarian policies because the reward centers in their brain are tuned to social media likes and nothing else.

my dad used to read my tweets on Sunday morning while we had coffee, and hed read ones he liked out loud for mum. one time my mum looks at me and says "he hasn't laughed in a while. you can't have been very funny this week"

Good morning Bluesky !

while my mom was pregnant with me, she was delivering chinese food on bike in new orleans. i like to think that the music she heard in the streets made me the way i am now. happy new year everyone!

"but it helps me do research fast--" I don't give a fuck. Regulate this shit and put the people who enabled it in fucking *jail* and then we can talk.

Hey I don't think you should use a website that generates CSAM on demand

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

i have very rapidly become incapable of thinking about anything that isn’t this video

Not only a perfect denouement, it was the end of an era. Thirty years ago today, this strip was published.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could etc etc

Tbf, if a rat crawled under my hat and started controlling me, I wouldn’t even care. Take the wheel, rat daddy

Obviously he went insane, married multiple women and declared himself King of Zion before a grisly death, but the boogie-woogie piano does strange things to a man.

It is a little known fact that they prerecord the Jools Holland Hootenanny - all the people on screen are faking it being New Year for tv. For eg, last year’s was prerecorded June 15th, 1535, during the Siege of Munster, look carefully and you can see John of Leiden mingling with the audience.

Who will stop the Piano Man's reign of terror?!

sam altman is just a sales guy with one goal: getting obscenely rich in silicon valley. his big thing previously was an app where you can find your friends on a map and after he sold it it turned out to have 500 users. he's not a stemlord he's just a run of the mill song and dance flim flam man

I said chatgpt doesn't have a soul and got put on this list

Gonna be honest I don't think r/soupenthusiasts is the place for you if you're asking stupid questions like this. Maybe try r/lilsoupbabies

Seriously though, kind of a notable absence of huge success stories, right?
