It’s crazy the sheer number of supposedly rational people who were like “ok but it’s good at health stuff” early on.
When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured”

We need to know every single person involved with this trafficking and abuse

The current FBI assertion that no trafficking happened is utter bullshit

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.

Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

You generally should not try to Epicly Call Out AI Art, because you will inevitably be wrong and drop a mob on someone with a much smaller follower base than you, and doing that is a lot more of active detriment to humanity than whatever might occur from you not doing it

Discord isn't walking back anything yet, but this shows they are feeling the pressure and you should keep bullying and contacting them until they relent.
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

I listen to a ton of music I can't understand and still can't stand this pov lmao
my opinion on the Bad Bunny halftime show, and non-English music in general, is that i think a need to “be able to understand the lyrics” displays an embarrassing shallowness of the speaker to appreciate the voice as an instrument & to appreciate music as something other than a lyric delivery system

Okay, I think that the Super Bowl halftime show was good, and the people who were mad about it are mostly just racist assholes.

But I keep seeing takes like "understanding the words doesn't really matter" and that seems totally nuts to me.

The poetry of the lyrics and their meaning does matter.

...no.

i dont hate bad bunny, and there's definitely non-english songs i like, but not all music is inherently good just because of the instrumentals. ESPECIALLY hiphop, where lyrical flow and referencial meaning is so important

people saying this must not read poetry or care about lyrical meaning

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

Things that will actually help and protect kids:
- gun control
- universal healthcare
- better education about how to keep themselves safe
- actually holding people who harm kids accountable
- giving kids more accessible resources to reach for when they *do* need help
- UBI

Hace 1 mes que salió el juego y Riot ya reduce plantilla porque no ha tenido el éxito que esperaban.

A veces creo que no hay nadie al volante. Esperaban que una nueva ip de peleas en grupos fuera un hit multitudinario al instante?

Tienen dinero de sobra para probar al menos 1 año y ver que pasa

Trump isn’t some aberration. He’s the conservative movement’s logical and inevitable—and intentional—endpoint.

The movement was always an AstroTurf propaganda effort by anti-democratic corporate interests and scions from wealthy families that preferred fascism to Roosevelt.

An underrated good the next Democratic administration could do with virtually zero actual political blowback from voters would be to come in with anti-trust laws like a wrecking ball and break up media and tech companies. It would fuck up The Other Side, too.
Brendan Carr is also very excited for more local broadcast TV consolidation at the hands of the right wing!

You know, to improve competition, something Carr (who has rubber stamped every desire media and telecom giants have ever had) genuinely cares about
