FBI raids LAUSD Supt. Alberto Carvalho's home, office Federal authorities are raiding the home and office of Los Angeles Unified School District Supt. Alberto Carvalho, the FBI confirmed.

I really hope this has nothing to do with federal attempts to meddle with the district’s magnet school system. www.latimes.com/california/s...

“We do not think this was an exposure to drugs,” CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee said in July. “The other officer and the subject did not experience any signs or symptoms related to that.”

Consensus reality is a public good

If I can make the most advanced frontier model available trip over its own feet in two questions, what will the coworker who's just trying to get a project off of their plate manage to shake out of the Confabulation Engine?

Schumer: ball’s in your court

Old tweet from @shelfcomedy: me: god, why must you give me your hardest battles god: i don't. you are my weakest soldier and these battles are so easy. it's an email why are you crying

The morning so far

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.

Tell them it will find your dog.

If you liked that Ring commercial finding the doggo:

Now imagine instead of “Milo match” it says your name on a cop’s screen when you walk by.

All of these ai commercials are so desperate.

It’ll be like your digital servant wife! If someone doesn’t like ai, they’re paranoid! Please use ai for everything because no one likes it and the money’s running out.

Yes! I was just discussing this with my autistic daughter recently: small talk is making friendly noises to humans.

guardrails are a scam...

Ignore the wallet inspection doomers.
