I recreated Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" using uDraw for the Nintendo Wii (and also turned all the people into Miis)

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Technically, CBS pre-emptively complied with a proposed change to talk show rules, just licking th boot in advance

Once again, the FCC is coming after Colbert. This time they're refusing to allow CBS to air an interview of James Talarico, a Dem Senate candidate from Texas. So we all know what to do, right?

See, the joke is that astronomy classifies any element besides hydrogen and helium as a metal. Oxygen? Metal. Carbon? Metal. Everything? Metal.

it's 2026. PC Gamer is doing journalism while actual news outlets post more transphobia. a sandwich costs $16 or five easy payments of $5 with SandoLoan
Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel
Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

You literally cannot pay me to use AI. I retrieve all my own analytics and use excel. Just learn excel guys, it's so fucking easy and accurate and reliable and not made up numbers lolllll

r/analytics • IOh We just found out our AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna throw up. Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.

This is called Perfidy, it is an international war crime

anyone with decent training knows why you do not do this. because it puts the innocent civilians who do need aid or are offering it in harm's way because of distrust

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

Citing "a person familiar with the deals who asked not to be named because the terms are private", the report says that Microsoft and Google in particular have paid between $400,000 and $600,000 to creators for "long-term partnerships spanning several months". If you, like me, think that's insane, this explanation at least checks out; AJ Eckstein, founder and CEO of the agency Creator Match, told CNBC that many of these companies are so flush with billions in seed money that "they don’t care to negotiate".
