But if we can't trust the brilliant truth tellers of the @nytimes.com Opinion Section for accurate science reporting, who CAN we turn to??

These are all flagrant lies, unsourced yet printed in a newspaper that allegedly fact checks things. The rest of it is meandering panic-bait that treats jail breaking LLMs. They don’t even describe the virus! They just said someone made one. Bullshit!

One answer is to look at the data. After the launch of GPT-5 in August, some thought that A.I. had hit a plateau. Expert analysis suggests this isn’t true. GPT-5 can do things no other A.I. can do. It can hack into a web server. It can design novel forms of life. It can even build its own A.I. (albeit a much simpler one) from scratch.

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory

Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

Oh noes, the ones they already said they were going to do back in February? Those RIFS? Russ just wants attention, and approval from his rapist daddy figure, like all the other whiny, spoiled little boys playing at being men in this admin

Haven't they been doing this since the beginning of DOGE? Feels like it's a rebrand of the same shit.

BTW you don't go announcing like this if you're really in control. This is supposed to scare people or get likes from MAGA turds online.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

"Watch your back... shoot straight... and never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon."

Another cool ad for one of three 16-bit Shadowrun games released in the early-mid 90s, each of them having a unique vibe and take on a video game adaptation.

I watched ISTTVG a year ago, and it shattered my egg into a thousand pieces. I've pretty much been devouring any analysis of the film that I could find ever since. This is the best one.

I especially love how Emily refutes the more cynical readings of its ending. I found it painfully uplifting.

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.
