support stereogum!
For years, advertising has been how Stereogum made money to pay its writers. While we made progress moving away from that model, Google AI search has decimated the business almost overnight. Today we relaunch with a greater focus on subscription. We’d love your support: stereogum.com/2478838/ster...

Screams into the void
Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire.
Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*

Two federal judges say use of AI led to errors in US court rulings
Two federal judges admitted in response to an inquiry by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley that members of their staff used artificial intelligence to help prepare recent court orders that Grassley called "error-ridden."

FINALLY. Been waiting for this album on vinyl since the 90s. Such an amazing record. Isaak’s voice on this - glorious. Highly recommend. Got mine @electricfetusmpls.bsky.social of course.

Come November 1st when SNAP benefits get shut off I want to make sure we’re all on the same page.
We didn’t see ANYONE “steal” food from the store. Nope. That person walked out with a full cart and as far as we’re ALL concerned they paid we just didn’t see it.
We. Saw. Nothing.

Been reading a bunch of Uncle @stephenking.bsky.social lately, and it's a weird feeling to know as the years pass his stories are more likely to happen / be true. This world is wild.

Do any of you locals have a handpan I can borrow for a few days? My kids seem convinced they want one but I don't want to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for them to try and then lose interest 20 minutes later.

For 7 years, Mayor Frey has lied. He lied about no-knock warrants and Amir Locke died. He lied and said there were only 27 unhoused people in the city—facts prove him wrong. He even vetoed the Uber/Lyft wage bill after vowing to support it. Minneapolis needs a leader, not a liar.
