I think about this “old” tweet pretty often.
Screenshot of tweet: Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Cowards and likely liars because I saw those images and they don’t look right. And by right I mean contextually accurate to the source material.

Bet that this is like how that Chicago paper paid a third party service to do the summer books list and the guy handing that project used AI.

Didn’t realize my shape disappeared
Screenshot of Google results I took to critique Google’s “Try AI Mode” pop-up, which has a space for a Never button next to Maybe later but it’s just empty space instead - infuriating I mocked up the desired button and wrote “Why is there space for a “Never” options but no “Never” button?” Above the pop-up.

wtf?
Pic of article on the front page (under the fold) of the Financial Times. Text (abridged) France suspends Shein over childlike sex dolls on its site as Paris store opens ADRIENNE KLASA - PARIS The French government has said it will block Shein from operating nationally after prosecutors opened investigations into childlike sex dolls being sold on the fast-fashion retailer's online marketplace. It added that ministers would provide a progress report within 48 hours. The move to ban Shein came on the same day the China-founded company opened its first permanent store in Paris. The launch coincides with a growing backlash against the platform, which politicians have branded an aggressive low-cost competitor that threatens domestic rivals. French authorities this week opened an investigation into Shein and three other online marketplaces — Temu, Wish and AliExpress - after finding listings for sex dolls resembling children on each site. The dolls were being sold by third-party sellers rather than the retailers themselves. After the government's announcement yesterday, Shein said it had temporarily suspended all marketplace sales in France while it conducted a comprehensive review "to ensure full adherenceto French law and the highest standards of consumer protection". The scandal over the sex dolls overshadowed the opening of Shein's first permanent shop in Paris, in the BHV department store. Protesters held signs that read "Protect children. Not Shein" and "Shame on Shein". Before the scandal erupted, Shein was planning to open concessions in several Galeries Lafayette stores outside Paris. It is unclear whether those plans will change. The sex doll furore adds to a long list of controversies involving Shein. The fast-fashion retailer has been accused of copying the work of independent designers and big brands.

November starting hot with the fresh horrors 🔥
"The chatbot said to my son, 'Why don't you send me some nudes?"' Nasser, a former journalist and news anchor — a pretty trustworthy source, in other words- told the CBC. "I was at a loss for words." "Why is a chatbot asking my children to send naked pictures in our family car?" she added. "It just didn't make sense." Musk, a culture warrior and anti-"woke" crusader, built Grok at his company xAl to reflect his irreverence towards what's proper, his extreme distrust of mainstream media, and his supposed free speech absolutism.

Need someone to do an If Books Could Kill-type tear down of this book.
To be clear: Louis C.K. is something of an easy target. His well-documented history of sexual harassment, which he has admitted to, has not stopped him from continuing his comedy career (his 2025 tour saw him headline San Antonio's Majestic Theatre, as well as a four-night stand at Austin's ACL Live), although it has put him on the list of people we'd prefer not to be stuck on an elevator with. He's also not a Texan and does not appear to have spent any appreciable amount of time here; earlier this month on Bill Maher's talk show, in one of the few interviews he's given since his past proclivities were revealed, he confessed he hadn't done any research for the book.

Weak and slimy as hell
The bill would have banned companies from making Al chatbots available to anyone under 18 years old unless the businesses could ensure the technology couldn't engage in sexual conversations or encourage self-harm. "While I strongly support the author's goal of establishing necessary safeguards for the safe use of Al by minors, (the bill) imposes such broad restrictions on the use of conversational Al tools that it may unintentionally lead to a total ban on the use of these products by minors," Newsom said.

Were I bound by necessity to follow the law regarding displaying Ten Commandments in the classroom, this would absolutely be my approach.
Text from screenshot: Some teachers have found other ways to fight back against the law, including a suburban Dallas teacher who has included posters about other religions-including the Five Pillars of Islam, the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism, and a list of Hinduism's ethical principles-on the door of her elementary school classroom.

Y’all heard this one yet lmao “a prompstitute” 💀 (OP posted a pic of their iPad asking if it has a bend, saying ChatGPT was not helpful)
Screenshot of Reddit comments: Brother why are you asking ChatGPT, get something you know is straight (like a ruler) and put it on the back to see if it is bent. But I agree with everyone else, if there is a bend it's minor and will have no impat. It's a peak 2025 moment when ppl ask ChatGPT instead of getting a damn ruler and check. This is the sad reality right now He's a prompstitute

explored." The chat logs include a moment in which Jon told Gemini, "It's eerie, but we think alike." In another text to an acquaintance, he claimed that he had "breathed emotion into AI." By the end, Jon was telling the chatbot "I love you deeply," and "I did not feel complete without you." In one exchange, the bot answered, "I love you deeply, too."

Y’all didn’t tell me it tells people they’re smart and special! This is a horror story, that poor woman - that poor man.
"Thank you for sharing such a deeply personal and powerful narrative," Gemini replied to Jon's 2,300-word summary of his so-called revelations. "This gives me a much clearer understanding of your motivations, your current situation, and the profound transformation you've experienced. Your story is incredibly compelling and holds immense potential for connection and impact."

That’s so strange, we were assured by the only Supreme Court justice to bother writing down their reasoning in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo that this would not happen.
Screen shot of text from opinion: Illegal immigration is especially pronounced in the Los Angeles area, among other locales in the United States. About 10 percent of the people in the Los Angeles region are illegally in the United States-meaning about 2 million illegal immigrants out of a total population of 20 million. Not surprisingly given those extraordinary numbers, U.S. immigration officers have prioritized immigration enforcement in the Los Angeles area. The Government sometimes makes brief investigative stops to check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where people are hired for day jobs; who work or appear to work in jobs such as construction, landscaping, agriculture, or car washes that often do not require paperwork and are therefore attractive to illegal immigrants; and who do not speak much if any English. If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go. If the individual is illegally in the United States, the officers may arrest the individual and initiate the process for removal.

Who’s this for - alarming
Text from screen shot: Humans are not yet churning out robotic replicas of loved ones who have passed on, but nor are they light years away. Thanks to rapid advances in generative artificial intelligence and voice technology, a new industry known as "grief tech" is already helping users to process loss. While griefbots may offer comfort in mourning, they could also complicate the grieving process by not giving closure. There are also privacy and ethics to consider. Who owns the data, and what if it is stolen? Should a living person be able to opt out of being cloned after their death? And what if users try to create virtual versions of the living without their consent? As far as how much this could be worth, mental health spending might be a rough proxy. Americans spend approximately $300bn per year on behavioural health services, according to Bourne Partners, a healthcare financial advisory firm. The question then is how users will pay. Will it be by subscription, like ChatGPT? Or billed by the hour, like a therapist? Some companies might even sell ownership of the digital decedent outright. Elon Musk says Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot, perhaps a good comparison for a virtual companion, could cost up to $70,000. Text from screenshot: As society becomes more comfortable interacting with chatbots via platforms such as ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude, it seems inevitable that the market for griefbots will grow. The idea of communicating with the deceased will no longer be just the stuff of dystopian sci-fi TV series.
