Pains me to give apple credit for anything but I got all of my stuff off Spotify, playlists and all, in a matter of 30 minutes. None of these services are good, but Spotify is the worst one.

I don’t want to check, but I assume it’s “how do I start an f16” right?
I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:
1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people
2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Natural Flavor was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master Flavor, to control all others.

Stop trying to make AI sound exciting. It's not sentient or even genuinely intelligent, it's *a tool*.
Every time you read this sort of breathless-sci-fi-adjacent thing, remember it's product PR
(and Guardian have actually signed content agreement with OpenAI - what is the editorial ethics here?)

AI models may be developing their own ‘survival drive’, researchers say
Like 2001: A Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000, some AIs seem to resist being turned off and will even sabotage shutdown
When HAL 9000, the artificial intelligence supercomputer in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, works out that the astronauts onboard a mission to Jupiter are planning to shut it down, it plots to kill them in an attempt to survive.
Now, in a somewhat less deadly case (so far) of life imitating art, an AI safety research company has said that AI models may be developing their own “survival drive”. Continue reading...

I would bet anything that this job is utter bullshit. Not in the sense that “AI Bias Advisor” is a task without merit, but this is just one more way Capital keeps these morons paid so they can stay in circulation to parrot whatever nonsense is necessary to placate a frothing MAGA base.
Meta HIRED the “chemicals are turning the frogs gay” guy to police AI bias against, presumably, complete morons:
“He [Starbuck] falsely asserted that exposure to the pesticide atrazine turned amphibians "gay,” prompting male frogs to mate — a claim that has been repeatedly debunked.”

Meta appoints anti-DEI and anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Robby Starbuck as AI bias advisor
Robby Starbuck has been appointed as an AI bias advisor at Meta with the goal of making the company's chat bot less "woke."

Ultimately it was a few thousand people, which is not nothing but would have been completely blown out of the water by the size of last week’s Gaza protest.
I think we all know which one is going to get more media attention.

Here's is my modest proposal for Keir Starmer: decent hardworking British network data should make use of the empty "reserved" bit in TCP/IP packets to indicate if someone has been age verified, this will absolutely work, solve society's problems and make him popular

lol “Lost” being on that list when “I Think You Should Leave” and “Terra Nova” exist
Take away all the GOAT candidates: The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Lost.
