Imagine a radiologist is using a cutting-edge AI tool to analyze your brain scan. The scan flags a problem in your "basilar ganglia." The problem is, there's no such thing.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”
It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

the thing I love about the Xbox Ally X is how open and versatile it is. You can have Xbox Game Pass titles on here, PlayStation games like Spider-Man 2, emulators, and cloud streaming. If this represents how open the next-gen Xbox will be then that’s kinda exciting

@rytood2.bsky.social look at this insanity.
I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.
Exclusive: OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator, which creates videos featuring copyrighted material unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear.

A very big Onion announcement:
The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.
It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.
It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.
Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

For the first time in *years*, we’re having real conversations about leaving this country. Make no mistake, this is privilege, many cannot just up and leave. But I just cannot justify why I live in America anymore. We’re not wanted or safe. I’m not reactionary, but I think I’ve reached my limit.

“It is simply easier for some people to believe that the United States government has concocted a vast conspiracy to take away all of our guns than it is to believe that it is too easy for a mentally ill person to acquire one and shoot anyone they want.”
Ten years ago yesterday, I wrote a story that changed the next decade of my life.
I hate that it matters more today — I mean specifically, today — than it ever has before. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
But here it is.

Dogs are getting vaccinated less and rabies rates are rising, in part because 37% of Americans think vaccines will give their dogs... pawtism.
