yesterday on twitter, some of the biggest far right doxxing users were suspended and then elon musk caught wind, and reinstated them. get everyone you can off twitter. it is firmly a pro-doxxing-if-you’re-far-right platform

Glad that this is also calling out the fact that most people do not need a protein supplement. You can build muscle without an unregulated sugar shake.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

there are like 5 crises that are all accelerating at once in America now, but a fun game to play is to pick one and say the other four are just the media's way of distracting us from the one you picked

I block most ads on Reddit, but I leave Hims, because seeing so many tortured euphemisms makes me laugh

oh no @drewfitz.bsky.social · 4d

is he... fuckin the horse

Reddit ad for Hims, with a photo of a guy riding a horse and the title "Ever since starting Hims I have to admit I've had zero issues in the bedroom. Honestly it saved my relationship."

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

What AI tool or service is this that always generates like diarrhea-sepia clipart, is there like a "make it depressing" button on ChatGPT or something

Kate Gray @hownottodraw.bsky.social · 4d

the art on their website is also blatantly AI (check out the American flag in the bottom left, which has a blue stripe all the way down, and the tower's fence, which is all garbled)

an image from the Sackbird website showing an orange-hued city block with skyscrapers and birds flying by. If you look closely, you can see artifacts of AI image generation, like a messy, garbled fence, weird shapes, and an incorrect flag

trolls are still out here pretending that they didn't like AssCreed Shadows having a black protagonist due to "historical inaccuracy"

the whole series takes place in the fucking Matrix which is somehow stored in your DNA, Leonardo DaVinci is your best friend and talks like Mario

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing.

The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI.

This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

I was wondering why @jetbrains.com took effort to obscure that "Full Code Completion" plugin uses AI. Now I know.

Their products will harvest your code for AI training. It sends "complete data about interactions with large language models", which means everything, if you use Full Line Completion.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.
