Just saw a video of Bill Maher calling Mamdani a “straight up communist” and I continue to be struck by the depiction of policies associated with the New Deal Order as far-left extremism, which goes along with a refusal to depict Trump’s unprecedented authoritarian actions as far-right extremism.

Bare minimum for holding a conversation: Rom the Vacuous Spider, Living Failures, Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos, Mergo's Wet Nurse, Orphan of Kos, Moon Presence, Darkbeast Paarl, Kos or some say Kosm, Plant eyes on our brains to cleanse our beastly idiocy,

It must be hard to be an artist working on Hades II, given how much time they'd spend with their eyes popping out and their tongues rolling out and hitting themselves in the head with a big cartoon hammer as they shouted awooga

Always so impressed with PMG's reporting and their willingness to self-examine. Remarkable that they're able to consistently produce work of this quality.
Okay, big breath...

After more than two years since we published our last documentary on the topic, it's time we returned to Disco Elysium:

[BlueSky safe voice] I disagree with JK Rowling, but we should work out our differences politely! We shouldn't be cruel, in fact we should wish her good fortune: May the next illness she has be the last she ever experiences! Love will win folks 🏳️‍🌈

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context*

Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when

An LLM just generates text
Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

Maybe the most beautiful possible description of what an essay can do, what I feel my job is. Of course it's from Patricia Lockwood.

reminds me of the time i was stuck on some font code stuff and someone helped me solve it and when i looked him up it was the guy who invented PNG and now is like the main font guy for like microsoft or something like that lol i was like ah well this is convenient
"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

my new AI powered lamp is trained on millions of lamp interactions so it understands that 50% of chain pulls are to turn it on and the other 50% are to turn it off. and honestly, it's a little spooky how it knows exactly what i want almost half of the time

Found on Discord so if someone knows who made this, feel free to credit.

Double Gandalf is cheating and it is missing like Son Goku but also Cleopatra, My little Pony and Leonardo Da Vinci.

Lets see who can fill out the list first!

This leaked photo taken despite threats doesn’t just capture a scene. It exposes a blueprint of erasure.
What you see isn’t rubble. It’s the remains of entire cities that were blown off the map
One image reveals the result of a policy not aimed at war,but at wiping out
But even this image can’t show
This photo of Gaza City had to be illicitly taken during a Jordanian food drop because Israel has threatened to cancel drops of any photos are taken.

I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.

Eu sou 100% a favor de termos ferramentas de tradução como Google Translate.

Eu sou 100% contra tradução automática em ferramentas de busca. Virou um inferno pesquisar se um termo nichado tem ou não uma tradução oficial/costumeira porque traduções automáticas erradas poluem todo o ecossistema
