Some aren’t going to like this harsh truth, but certain posters on this website have got to learn how to be incredibly, ruthlessly verbally cruel WITHOUT saying anything that’ll get you suspended or banned.

Very straightforwardly detained by secret police for speech. I honestly don't know what establishment figures are telling themselves any more to avoid cognitive dissonance over this shit.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

“No kings” is good rhetoric but it’s funny in the actual context. By then the British monarch exercised some formal powers but the dominant governing institution of the British Empire was parliament.

Obama: "Watch these Tea Party protests, see who shows up at them. I bet you'll see nazis, gun nuts, religious fundies who beat their kids. I bet you'll see failsons & wannabe cops on full display, weirdos who couldn't understand America's founding principles if they were illustrated in crayon."

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

In the 60s–80s, we built 120k–160k homes a year in the form of duplexes, triplexes & townhomes, mostly by small builders.

Since 2008? Fewer than 20k.

We didn’t just lose small builders, we dismantled the ecosystem that financed them.

To fix housing, we need to bring them back.

One of the most important things we can do to combat this kind of thing is to explain to people as simply as possible what a generative model actually does: it produces statistically probable sequences. It doesn't know anything, it makes things that looks similar to things it's seen before.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.
