The administration “is currently pressuring OpenAI and other AI companies to make their models more conservative-friendly.”
OpenAI is trying to clamp down on ‘bias’ in ChatGPT
GPT-5 is better at resisting liberal ‘pressure,’ the company says.

There's absolutely an audience out there who doesn't care what you did to who or what you sold out for how much. If you're someone who abuses others or sells out for a big bag, congratulations, that's your audience. Enjoy it or don't, but don't come bitching to your ex about who you're with now.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Kristi Noem should never have been confirmed after this. It ended up being a perfect representation of what she would do.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

Absolutely wild that the leftist response to people like this woman is: "Your family shouldn't have to live like this. We have a plan to make it better." and the republican response is: "Fuck you. We're never going to raise taxes on the rich" and for some reason the latter is the compelling message

Republican C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party,and I'm very disappointed in you, because you have the power to call the House back. You refuse to do that just for a show."

I wish "antifa" had not gained such widespread usage. If we just said "anti-fascist," then it would be immediately clear to anyone what the opposite of that is.

Ann Radcliffe eating hard cheese right before bed to give herself nightmares, Stoker claiming Dracula was the result of a nightmare induced by a “too generous helping of dressed crab,” let’s go back to the golden age of eating incredibly rich food before bed to create horror literature

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

When Democrats controlled the White House, Senate and House there were no shutdowns because we acted like adults and negotiated with Republicans.

Now Republicans control everything and they're refusing to even show up for work. Because they think the chaos of a shutdown is fun.

there's a reason why half the out and out racists online have AI generated Ghibli profile pics and it's because being pro-ai in and of itself has become a dogwhistle

Some peoples’ need for one thing to be “better” or in any way superior to another thing is just a creepy weird impulse.

There ain’t nothin’ better than whatcha like, folks.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.

They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

Remaining feds left the scene in a large caravan, deploying more tear gas straight into the crowd - and right at my feet - as they left.

I can't exaggerate how important it is that every ICE officer is met with contempt & mockery in public, everywhere they go, for the rest of their lives.

the most uncanny aspect of the 21st century is how many stories we have about charlatan showmen who conned the world—from PT Barnum to Andrew Wakefield—and yet we still take grandiose, provably false claims from tech CEOs as though they are harmless or, at worst, true

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI.

Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open"

That's it. That's the whole story.
jfallows.bsky.social
Yes. (And still getting "standoff" BS and "who will blink first" and "who will voters blame" from news.)

Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact:
- White House
- Senate
- House
- Scotus
- OMB (to the hilt)
- Every regulatory agency

They're in command. It's on them.

I do not understand why they cannot get the headlines right.

Just follow the gop playbook!

“Repubs control it all! The shutdown is on them!”

As nauseum.

Don’t lead with the nuance.
