Cops shouldn't be able to use tactics on unarmed protesters that have been banned for warfare/armed conflicts

Proposal: instead of giving ChatGPT tens of billions of dollars to fail to create artificial intelligence, give me, an Actual Intelligence, a mere $10 million and I will gladly do a spreadsheet wrong for you from time to time for a modest fee.

An easy one: Any comics film adaptation that exists without the original creator being able to pay off their house is a moral failure

It is actually impressive show I can fit all the men I find the most attractive into one party though.

This new Dan Heng was the best thing that could have ever happened to me, thank you Hoyoverse

I'm sure there's better teams I can use in this game but I'm calling this my "reverse harem team" and I'm refusing to stop using it.

A picture taken of a television showing the Honkai Star Rail party load out screen. The party includes Stelle the Trailblazer, Phainon, the new Dan Heng, and Sunday.

it does not necessarily mean this though, because the dominant way people end up on Wikipedia is through Google, and Google has loaded the top of all of its search results with AI-mediated info taken from Wikipedia. This does not mean consumers prefer it this way, the choice has been made for them

Jeremy Lewi @jeremy.lewi.us · 1d

AI is separating the production and consumption of information. If direct access to Wikipedia is dropping that suggests information consumers find AI mediated consumption more useful. This will impact the production of information; including the economic model

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers

A man named Oscar is holding Leonora's hand. He has long, black, curly hair, a white shirt, and brown pants. His eyes are closed. Leonora is looking at their hands. She has brown hair, pink eyes, and freckles. Her dress is red with white lace.

The Fox Bride is considered mighty omen. Folklore has it to see one transforming at dusk of dawn is to have sign of fortune shifting – for good or for ill. However, few tales feature folk brave enough to follow the Fox Bride into the woods as she sheds her clothes and grows her fur. – #EmilyCBanting

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Idk what's funnier, Firefly asking Blade if he has a driver's license, or Blade actually having one.

Idk what it is about Blade that makes me surprised he's actually capable of doing shit other than being a Hot Mess.

Just a suggestion that folks refrain from ableism and ageism when discussing Mitch McConnell.

Being old and falling down doesn't make him a trash person, but all the actual trash things he has done and facilitated definitely do.

"What if, in the process of trying to ban AI products that quite actually encourage children to kill themselves, we wind up banning chatbots that help children cheat on their homework, diminish their propensity for critical thought, and lead to the development of other forms of AI psychosis?"

Brian Merchant @bcmerchant.bsky.social · 1d

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.

Silicon Valley's capture of our political institutions is all but complete

The tech lobby kills off two key California AI bills, and why it matters. Plus: How Sam Altman played Hollywood with Sora 2, organized mass social media deletions, and more.

Crazy to think that we were more careful around a dog we were afraid would actually maul someone than this guy was about a dog who just moved a little bit.

🤞 @lindenrain.bsky.social · 1d

Watching the Mujin video has me wondering if I have, in fact, ever used a shock collar before. Maybe it was just a vibration collar we used because I do NOT ever recall hearing a noise like THAT.

Was that a dog collar or an elephant taser, Jesus.
