This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool.

It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.
can’t fucking catch a breath

A big story on EG this eve - the incredible @santaragione.com seems likely to close, after a bizarre decision from Valve to ban Horses from the platform, submit it to several unusual extra layers of scrutiny in the application process, and offer the studio no recourse to make changes or re-apply.

I'm so baffled by valve's decision-making in regards to moderation of what can and can't be sold on steam

on its face I can somewhat see why you'd be inclined to avoid your obvious examples like shota/loli stuff or other very taboo subjects, but every day there's like 800 new hitler rape simulators

This whole thing is fucked. Like their previous game was an IGF narrative winner?? But apparently being literally award-winning means nothing to valve

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

PERTUSSIS?!? PERTUSSIS

Babies are dying of things I only read about in Little House on The Prarie
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:

“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

One note: No mention of the White House or Stephen Miller here. Or the State Department.
UPDATE: DOJ filed its response, maintaining its opposition to contempt proceedings, but identifying Ensign, Blanche, Bove, Mazzara, and Noem as having been involved in discussions from Boasberg’s March 15 TRO to the decision not to “recall the flights” taking people to El Salvador under the AEA.

America’s most basic ability to treat and prevent HIV is in danger.

Decades of progress are being derailed by the Trump administration, public health experts say — and without reversing course, the damage will be devastating.

Health experts are alarmed as Republicans degrade the country’s pivotal HIV programs — and break promises made during Trump’s first term.

Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity.

Please share this if you see it, and my DMs are open for more information. Tysm 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Bureau personnel also reviewed videos. According to an April 15 email, one of the videos was from the New York City jail where Epstein was found dead a month after his arrest in 2019 on sex trafficking charges. (The DOJ publicly released 11 hours of the prison video in July.)

The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

According to the documents, FBI personnel clocked in a total of 4,737 hours of overtime between January and July. Of that, more than 70% occurred during the month of March while personnel reviewed the Epstein files, the documents show.

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.

This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands

And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is
To bear out this rosy projection, HSBC assumes that OpenAI will become "as ubiquitous [...] as Microsoft 365" (345mm users worldwide) while bringing in 10x the number of users (3bn).

It's hard to describe how I feel every time this happens. I'm so overwhelmingly angry. We HAVE the ability to vaccinate virtually everyone who can take the vaccines so that herd immunity works in so many communities. A horrible way of dying was almost gone forever. It's not fair. It's not fair.
