Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

It should be illuminating that prosecuting sex trafficking, the thing that prosecutors and police across the country have been using as a cash cow to fund surveillance and weaponry, is actually not something government prosecutors care about at all.
The system does not hold people accountable.

The president of OpenAI has donated almost as much to Trump as the DNC has cash on hand www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
Democratic donors have spent a year frozen, largely out of justified anger at the consultant class, the spammy texts, and lack of leadership from some elected leaders.
That anger, however, is also hurting outside groups doing critical work — and that could hurt us in November.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I am once again begging people to stop believing in magic tools that should be used everywhere. There has never been anything anywhere near the level of effectiveness needed to justify relying on AI chatbots for everything. Especially for important expertise driven things like healthcare.
Chatbots provided incorrect, conflicting medical advice, researchers found: “Despite all the hype, AI just isn't ready to take on the role of the physician.”

Are you being too productive? Too happy with things? Try lame-and-the-same executive dysfunction! With guilt oozing from every bite, you too can fuel up for some good old fashioned depression! For added zest, try adding an inability to do other things- it keeps the relief far away when you need it!

A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

Something that this really throws into sharp relief for me is the difference between this and how way too many—if not most—Dems in leadership treat us as voters. Which is to say not as citizens and participants in the process but as passive checked out consumers

We have loaves! Again I suspect my inconsistent oven is causing problems. I may have to start baking it for a bit less time and then adjust on the fly. We will see how dry the insides are later.

@frost.house.gov accused the regime of delaying the release of the Epstein files, rejecting claims that redactions are the cause.
