Amazing to learn that Isaac Chotiner can apparently just come for you in your replies. Like suddenly realizing you're swimming in open ocean

Once saw a man by the river doing a sort of Mortal Kombat stance, squaring up to a massive hissing swan & he kept shouting “I won’t fucking back down pal” at it, as it advanced on him, wings outstretched like a terrible, vengeful angel & sometimes it seems like that is basically the entire world now

Gender is a spectrum from just wanting have fun to being back in town, and to varying degrees, each of us contains attributes of both, which is a beautiful thing

"They show what people are actually using AI for" - no. Not "people" - MEN. Men are doing this
This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

Sure, but the article frames this as a “both sides” problem when the Republicans actually support young people in politics and provide pathways to advancement. Elderly Democrats block the advancement of young people and put cancer patients in committee chairmanships

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

This thread is fantastic, somebody make this happen
this reminds me that i had an elaborate and unfilmable idea for a han solo prequel/spinoff (from before the actual movie came out) that i don't know if i ever tweeted about and which i will now subject you to
one of the funniest things about SOLO is that it implied that everything important that ever happened to Han Solo occurred in the space of like three weeks and then he just ran drugs for like eighteen years before meeting Luke Skywalker

Why are they so dedicated to making humanoid robots? This upright design we've got is terrible, it was probably a mistake in the first place but we're stuck w it. Robots aren't though! They can be any shape, why make them have knees & balance on 2 tiny feet? Dumb
