the sweaty desperation of Hollywood studios to try and find SOME way to spin “Sinners” as a flop to keep other artists from following Coogler’s brilliant example just looks more and more absurd with each passing day as we see what the actual numbers look like

Finished Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's Nightwing run tonight. Damn near perfect. The whole thing felt like a great night with an old friend, who's doing really well.

Every time I get US ads on a podcast it's like stepping headlong into a Philip K. Dick novel.
I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

tl;dr the CIA have spent the past century or so developing spy networks across the globe, & Elon & Trump just announced their existence in a tweet & cut their entire budgets, because both of these supposed geniuses were too dumb to know what the euphemistic project names actually meant. Incredible.
It's so extremely wild to see that in less than 3 months Elon single-handedly is shredding decades of work the CIA did to build economic soft-power bases throughout Africa and Asia.
bro actually is ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of the American Empire in real time

If you choose to go on holiday to a country with a poor human rights record, you are a total psychopath. "Beaches are lovely, didn't visit the stadium where they behead homosexuals though, it wasn't open."

Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

fitting that the first big air disaster after years of loud, insistent warnings that understaffing would cause exactly this outcome, happens at the airport named after the guy who crushed the ATC union

It's objectively funny to see DeepSeek — an open source, high performing AI model trained by a Chinese startup for less than $6 million — wipe $1 trillion off tech stocks only days after Trump, OpenAI, and SoftBank announce their $500 billion Stargate boondoggle.

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

No one is USING AI. They are TRAINING AI. No LLM is ready to be fully deployed. It's all early beta testing they are trying to convince you is actually a product. It is nowhere near its target goals for its intended uses. People aren't paying to use it; they're subsidizing its training. It's a scam.
