Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

NEW: From our @markhertling.bsky.social, a eulogy for Sarah Beckstrom, the young National Guard soldier shot in Washington, D.C. This is a moving reflection about service, risk, death, grief, and remembrance.

When the sunset across the Bay Area looks more like Tatooine (minus one Sun). High pressure & warmer air above acting like lid, trapping smoke / dust pollution. Also makes for a positive feedback loop for fog forming (act as tiny surfaces for water droplet formation) #weatherbasedStarWarsReferences

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

Democrats should ask: when residential natural gas prices are at their highest ever, why are we exporting a record amount? Why not use it to make energy more affordable here?
The GOP has no answer for this; it contradicts everything they claim they're doing.
