Is this funny cat video AI? #cat #cozy #aivideo #ai #viral This AI video of a bath ruined by a cat was reposted and very convincing. Figuring out real vs. AI videos is harder than ever with OpenAI’s Sora 2 and Sora app creating a lot of AI videos.

I really recommend browsing a reddit called "Is this AI?" for this purpose. people post questionable images and commenters weigh in on their validity, but are required to provide specifics as to their reasoning. once you start seeing the signs, it gets easier and easier over time

12th inning in a playoff elimination game is the best possible moment to try to litigate anything under the eternal faerie law of baseball, because no matter what happens everyone will be angry, and the fair folk feed off of that emotion

Doing comms work for billionaires slowly melting their brains must be quite a job.

At the end of the interview, he turned to a public relations executive. He could be heard asking why her mouth was wide open and if he had said anything he shouldn’t have.

“What about the political questions?” he asked. “Too spicy?”

Then he hung up.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

Jenna would make Liz write jokes for her, Liz would write a bunch of feminist material because she’s mad at Jenna and then try to pull it at the last minute because she’s worried for Jenna’s safety. Jenna would ham it up so hard that the Saudis would love it as parody of shrill American women

The line at Southwest's LAX terminal is sufficiently insane that I would strongly, strongly advise against flying Southwest into or out of LAX. The line extends well into the second floor check-in area. This is insane.

Saikat Chakrabarti has a big goal: Unseat San Francisco Rep. Nancy Pelosi from the office she's held since 1987.

It's a tall order, but he is adamant Democrats have failed to meet the moment.

“This is about an overwhelming demand for change right now.”
