So completely heartbroken about the passing of the absolutely iconic Catherine O’Hara. Thank you for a lifetime of laughs and unmatched character work.
The ONLY reason I have to smile today is that I know somewhere up there John Candy is about to give you the biggest hug ever. #RIP

This is appalling. I can say with certainty that Steve Jobs would be ashamed of Tim Cook at this terrible moment, one of many these days, and he has sullied the last year of his tenure and the Apple brand by his craven need to please shareholders over holding onto some basic values of decency.

23 000. Tjuetre tusen seksualiserte fremstillinger av barn. Lagd av verktøyet som verdens rikeste mann har full kontroll over. Ingen blir dømt for noe som helst, og her hjemme har vi allerede slutta å snakke om det.
In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

"I also find automatic transcription tools useful, but if I were banking on general purpose LLMs being as revolutionary as personal computers and the internet, I'd find it worrying how many applications boil down to transcribing audio, summarizing text, and fetching code snippets"
