It has to be stated in plain language that Trump Administration is at war with the Constitution. They want all rights gone. This isn't an exaggeration and you're in denial if you don't agree.
Trump is a Tyrant.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons: "No group should be going around following law enforcement, trying to give their location away, let them know what they're doing."

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.

Scrolling reels in 2026 is like watching TV but there's only commercials playing.
Nearly all content you are shown has been paid to show it to you. It's just ads.
Remember when people vibing to commercials was a dystopian sci-fi future? Well, the future is now.

For those keeping track at home, so far in 2026—in just 85 hours—members of the Trump administration have threatened to invade or annex or otherwise attack the following countries:
🇨🇺 Cuba
🇨🇴 Colombia
🇬🇱 Greenland
🇮🇷 Iran
🇨🇦 Canada
This derangement puts Kim Jong-un to shame.

Deleted a repost of a thread.
Looking closer, the person is comfortable sharing AI images & video. Was the thread also AI? Was it accurate?
I’d rather not take the chance and share it.
Journalists, keep this in mind. “Fun” AI videos & images undercut your credibility.

Wenn mich eins wirklich ankotzt, über alle politischen Grenzen hinweg, dann ist es Feigheit. Insbesondere Feigheit von Leuten mit Macht. Wer sich einer Wahl stellt und ein demokratisches Votum bekommt Menschen zu repräsentieren darf nie feig sein. Wir erleben leider ein Europa der Feigheit.

This poster is one of the best on here and I’m so sad we’re losing her because of the appalling harassment she has been subjected to. Of course she must look after herself. And the rest of us need to do whatever we can to challenge and change this cruel, sick, dangerous, culture.
I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.
I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
