Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

MAGA’s War on Empathy

Hillary Clinton wrote an Atlantic piece about MAGA's "moral rot." Her two most recent public appearances include her saying that young people only care about Gaza because of "totally made-up videos," and her saying this week that Saudi Arabia is “a very strong model for other parts of the world.”

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

＝ RollingStone SUBSCRIBE BAD EDUCATION AI IS INVENTING ACADEMIC PAPERS THAT DON'T EXIST - AND THEY'RE BEING CITED IN REAL JOURNALS The proliferation of references to fake articles threatens to undermine the legitimacy of institutional research across the board

Do people realize that this is also happening with case law?

After moving to a secure location, the suspect is put in a different set of restraints for transportation as ICE agents make arrests. (Staff Photo By Stuart Cahill/Boston Herald)

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.

I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

so insanely fucking real for this

This kind of dataset is a clear indicator that propaganda plays a big role in people's political positions and acting like people are unshiftable is just completely detached from reality

I feel real bad for Grasshopper Manufacture. There's the Lollipop Chainsaw remake whose developer says there'll be "no DEI" in the game. Then there's the Let it Die sequel that's jammed up with AI. They have nothing to do with/no input on either game. This is what happens when you don't own your IP!

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

they’re not missing the point, you’re missing theirs

better performance than anyone in Wicked tbh

“international” law unfortunately is written by the US and selectively enforced by their client state

every star trek episode is titled Ere Fire Down From Olympus Came and every plot is "what if a comet had a milf on it"

There's an entire chapter in my book about this tactic! They'll never stop doing this.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.

Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

Same for us @citizenlab.ca

i am not a christian but i have no idea why there isn't some big panic about a guy called "mr. beast" amassing tremendous amounts of fame and influence by literally getting people to do dangerous and degrading things

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

We used to be a country

I think Pecan Pie is one of those things that is divisive now because it’s just a blob of sugar with nuts on it but to someone 150 years ago who ate shoes it was probably like having 12 orgasms at once

😬

Dude who just got the SV Bank bailout two years ago is back banging the cup. It’s a tell.

Why must I, the protagonist of reality, deviate from my base preferences to accommodate the existence of other human beings? Clearly this is the fault of the profit motive
