6 second clip that sums up every British political party position on disability benefits.

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

"Car-centric design is creating a public health crisis in the US" AT LEAST ONE GUY EVERY TIME THIS COMES UP: so you wanna BAN cars?? You want your jackbooted thugs pull me over and stand on my balls til they're red? For driving? I don't even OWN a car but you wanna punish MY balls?? For driving??

also if this were real - it is not! - we'd have to tackle the ethical concerns about our army of SENTIENT ROBOT SLAVES

What's always been hilarious to me is that many "Gender Critical" activists genuinely believe that they are the Rebellion while trans people are the Empire, when though their defacto leader in the UK is a literal billionaire with a superyacht and the whole US theocratic machine is behind them.

for some reason the left (goldman sachs) refuses to take AI seriously

"John Prescott would be loving this"

"...and there's been another arrest for misconduct in public office but for who Chris Kamara?"

It never ceases to confound me just how many folks think the point of essays is to provide teachers with essays. That teachers just like, collect them, or need them for sustenance or something. Rather than the point of them being the *actual fucking act of learning how to think about shit*

I hacked car charging to work with my electric bike! www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Iyu...

a year is a long time in politics

Surely it is for purposes such as these that Tom Paris was trained to be his assistant.

This is a serious and worrying failure by media - Reform need to be pressed on the core legal and moral issues at stake here

There's a weird thing in UK politics. Labour treats Reform as largely correct on the merits but bad at implementation. It treats the Greens as wrong on the merits and so good at implementation they will destroy the country. But that's... the opposite of how their actual likely voters feel?

This one hits hard.

“The guy did a great job for a competitive rate. I’m really pleased with it”

It’s on Google, even though it is making search worse. It’s on WhatsApp, even though I absolutely do not want “homework help” or “relationship advice” from my messaging app. In the year of our lord 2026, it is everywhere. And it *doesn’t work*.

Thoughts after episode 7 of #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy are that this series is probably in the upper echelons of post-2017 Trek when it does a Trek-style episode with a YA bent but is less successful when it focuses on more typical YA drama. Episodes 4 - 6 were great but this week's was fairly mid.

I suppose he won’t lose all his titles then

@tante.cc has written a thorough and well argued rebuttal to Doctorow's LLM defence. Just fantastic! It discusses something I've been trying to put into words: how open source by itself isn't automatically ethical, the harms caused by software need to be considered and addressed.

Sounds rough! I avoid this ever happening to me with One Weird Trick

Reporter: Do aliens exist? Obama: *chuckles* Technically no, a time ghoul is from Earth. Just not today’s Earth

This is actually bad news because everything is terrible and we should be spending money to fix it, not hoarding it to impress The Market! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

RE: the star trek AI comic debacle: if there's anything to come outta this, i DO NOT want to see trek fans who DON'T work in comics/the arts lecturing people that DO (or fans that pressed the suspicion) getting high and mighty about "overreactions" or "examining behavior." redirect that anger. 🧵

sorry i missed the virtual meeting on discord, liz. i got hit with the id verification that happens when the app detects youre young

Google is spending $185 billion on AI this year alone

The New York Times smeared AOC for saying “um”

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

You can't always be certain if art is AI or not. This is not one of those times.

a technology we can all be excited about

Basically the entire core of Microsoft pitch on AI is that it's the safe, responsible one that corporates and governments can use. So this is very much not what they needed to happen.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

"Incredible machine" I say proudly, gazing upon my slow cooker.

These guys keep trying to Wow me with their bullshit fake tech inventions, meanwhile anytime I use my socket wrench I'm like my god what genius made this

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

I say this as someone who loves technology but hates the tech industry - why do we have to love technology? why do we have to give something like AI clemency for its errors? It's a product we are being sold, it should have to earn our money or attention.

Writing is thinking. It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

Can you people not do anything for yourselves

I find this so fucking sad actually it's from a great article by @bildoperationen.bsky.social journals.openedition.org/transbordeur...

if only there were people out there with good ideas who needed funding

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

How to make pancakes the british way: Step 1: remember it's pancake day Step 2: work all day because you are a cog in the capitalism nightmare machine Step 3: Too tired to make pancakes Step 4: no pancakes for you

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Thanks defence drone. More like point defenceless amirite?
