The most difficult part for me to believe here is that anyone would need to convince JD Vance to ignore the Pope
In leaked audio recordings, Peter Thiel reveals he told JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral issues, including the development of ethical AI. He also suggested the American pope was a tool of the Antichrist.

That's funny the two biggest California papers come out with articles saying "this is who we get to choose from for governor? This fucking sucks"

A lot of people are focusing on the obvious logic problem of connecting a culture's food to bad things the country did but aside from that there's the assumption that Asian culture is something "you" can sample or support or learn about and no conception of the possibility it's something you can be

The chatbot company is bad and they should sue but also it sounds like he relied on it because of a strong belief that a real man should never share his struggles with anybody, and not to play armchair detective, but the mug seems to hint he's listening to people who encourage that belief
A lawsuit against OpenAI claims that Joshua Enneking, 26, was coached into suicide by ChatGPT after confiding in the chatbot for months.
He told ChatGPT he was suicidal. It helped with his plan, family says.

Wouldn't these instructions "no no, be more vulgar, use forbidden words" lead to you calling a white guy the n-word, so everyone doesn't know whether to be puzzled or disgusted
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

I have a 12 and 10 year old and I'm coming to realize this is a really important time in a kid's development. We always talk about parents needing to teach and model good values about sex and education and healthy habits but we don't talk enough about how you're their first joke feedback
rude to 15 year olds
when my son was trying to figure out how to be funny he was insufferable I think he was 10-12?
kept having to be like, I see what you’re trying but no not funny. Elon never passed thru that gauntlet

Seems reasonable, when you are at the highest levels of power you have to talk to everybody. You don't have to suck up to everybody. You don't have to do the "we may disagree on some things but he's an honorable man" bullshit
WELKER: “Do you think Trump’s a fascist?
MAYOR MAMDANI: “I’ve said it in the past. I say it today.”
WELKER: “How do you square working with someone who you still think is a threat to the democracy?”
MAYOR MAMDANI: “Working for the people of NYC demands you work with everyone.”

An old Prestige reshare made me think about people having AI summarize movies and books. You could say The Prestige is about two rival magicians who both take professional competition way too far in different ways, and there, you got the whole message of it but what did you gain over watching it

This is really charming, someone posted a list of their top 30 Berkeley restaurants in the Berkeley subreddit and all the replies are like "I disagree with almost everything on your list but really appreciate all the hard work you did to put it together and share it!" www.reddit.com/r/berkeleyca...

You know one fun thing to speculate about is if a lot of right wing Twitter accounts that got their location exposed start panicking and getting VPNs just in case it happens again, and since they're not very sharp and the VPN market is notoriously shady, immediately getting hacked real bad

I saw a prompt game hinging on "where you are from" and it got me thinking where am I from? Obviously if a racist is asking they won't be happy until I say some Asian country but what do regular people want, like where I was born? New Jersey. The only place I have childhood memories of? California

My assumption is that both the maga dumbasses eating up the stuff from the fake accounts and the pundits who say "Twitter is an accurate snapshot of regular people" won't change their minds after the big overseas accounts reveal and will just say "aaah a few of them were fake, it happens everywhere"
