One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

why do we know the names of the 15 people slain in Australia and not any of the names of the Palestinian Solidarity Activists who are in the middle of the largest hunger strike under the British flag since 1981?

that's not a rhetorical question, baby

that's a real live query

... anyone??

this might help some understand the whole "ID for Internet" nonsense

Walking into a liquor store? Showing the counter person my ID is fine.

Talking about liquor in group chat? Downloading my ID onto a digital platform to continue the conversation is dangerous, solves nothing, and is ridiculous.

I’ve been speechless & despondent about all of the horrors this weekend that has been visited upon people & communities. The gun violence, the antisemitism, everything else. All I can really say is that I’m so sorry & I truly hope to live to see the day when we decide to do right by one another.

Absolutely no reason or justification for Charlie Kirk's death. However, when I see Erika Kirk, it seems plausible that the phrase "please kill me" must have passed from his lips.

something feels f-cked up about watching the fiddy/Diddy Netflix documentary and I can't quite explain why cause im just a Goon but it's centered around fiddy ALSO being a s*xual abuser (allegedly) and him getting paid off all of this

I'm happy people have something to be happy about, but idk...

But David French, the guys flipping out over Drag Queen Story Hour are the weak men creating hard times.

If they think something has gone terribly wrong, and that the thing is people reading books to kids at a voluntary family event, that's insanely weak. And an excuse to act on irrational hatred.

Note to headline writers: The word "racism" is right there and is shorter than "war on 'wokeness'," you're welcome.

my favorite part in all of this is the hundreds of thousands of people screaming that we haven't slowed down and explained it well enough to satisfy their sensibilities
AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

If you wanna know where all the Palestinian videos and users are, head over to UpScrolled

I doubt they'll be allowed to operate for very long. There's no censors there telling them what is REALLY happening to them, but for now it's totally raw and unfiltered.

If they're telling you to throw anyone under the bus so "we" can go back to how things were, or how things used to be, they're a conservative

That's what the word means

IDGAF if they have a blue flag on their bio

Or how many followers they have

They're a conservative

good article

we have to start replacing the people who are already paid for. as far as I can see it's the only chance we may have.

@runforsomething.net is a great place to start. If anyone has any other organizations or spots that are working to get folks involved in our system please leave it 👇🏻
Hakeem Jeffries' AI Commission is littered with corporate and tech-friendly Dems. AI is wildly unpopular, yet too many national Democratic leaders are rejecting that reality in favor of wooing back Silicon Valley. From our friends at @revolvingdoordc.bsky.social:

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves

Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars

Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

AI videos are still sh-t, and you should still feel like a very lazy and inconsiderate person if you share them to the outside world

I respect some of y'all on other topics too much to make this a deal breaker, but just know I'm not talking to you about this topic anymore. You've lost that trust.

“Who Goes Nazi?” By Dorothy Thompson (written in August 1941) is one of those historical pieces that’s worth reading again every few years.
