Anybody else watch tiger attack videos to unwind from the creeping fascist enshittification? Just me? Cool, cool.
And I looked
And behold a striped cat:
And her name that sat upon her was Whine
And Hell followed with her
And power was given unto them
Over the fourth part of my house
To grief with claws
And with Meowing
And with the puke
On my rug
And behold a striped cat:
And her name that sat upon her was Whine
And Hell followed with her
And power was given unto them
Over the fourth part of my house
To grief with claws
And with Meowing
And with the puke
On my rug

The other day I had a full on argument inside of Audible of all things. POS could not answer basic questions about Moby Dick. What a waste of everyone’s eyeball.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

I don't see a ton in the way of measured "we do not hype but denialists have no honor here" chatting about AI/LLM/etc
So, if there's anybody you could hear chat at length with a mostly vertebrate interlocutor about past/present/current AI and LLM stuff--suggestions welcome? (also RTs, I guess)

With the Progressive Politics Research Network, we have published 8 new research briefs on the politics of housing. What does a progressive agenda on housing look like? Which elements are important? What the hurdles are and how can they be overcome?

Which would be hilarious were it not so very shortsighted and extra dumb.

Is anyone here an e-commerce wizard? I’m helping my mom grow her side hustle into something like a real operation. It’s a fun challenge, and I’d love someone who has experience maintaining an online storefront to brainstorm with.

The immediate follow up should have been, “The fuck you just say?”
📌NOTE: There's no newsroom guidance I'm aware of that says journalists have to just sit there and take it when an ill-bred slob, and convicted felon calls them "piggy" and shrugs off the brutal killing of one of their colleagues by simply saying, "things happen."

What’s really funny about the objection to public grocery stores as communism is that NYC has had them before. Had them for decades prior to the publication of The Communist Manifesto.
