Engineer builds Al robot that can instantly find Waldo for you 07/08/2024
This remains the funniest AI-related headline I’ve seen. Because it’s acting like humans not being able to find Wally (or Waldo) was some great, cosmic burden that we couldn't solve, not it being the fucking point of the entertainment.
Jonathan Karl @jonkarl Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."
Lord Bebo @MyLordBebo # LMAO: Your taxpayer money destroyed your grandfather's taxpayer money! Israeli jets (funded by your taxes) destroyed Iranian F-4/F-5 jets (funded by your grandpa's taxes). Iran received them while the Shah was in power, before 1979.

Oh no, art is only for commerce or for attention, which at this point, is also commerce. There is no personal practice of art, no intention, no urge to express. They just want to participate in what they see as the production of content, so personally I don’t think they deserve any art at all.
I’m sure someone else has said this better but it is insane how close the experience of reporting on the Epstein files is to playing a database mystery Her Story or The Roottrees Are Dead
I do believe Tim Cook is gonna step down soon because no one does the absolute shit he’s been pumping out in the last year without planning to fuck off and leave the mess to someone else.
Good design is harder than it looks.

One of the monkey's-paw blessings of the Trump era is that the oligarchs no longer even try to make it look like something else

YOUR FRIEND WHO WAS TOO INTO COMICS GROWING UP: They actually did that as a whole arc in the late 80s. Wasn't Conway's best work.

I dunno, should Tickle Me Elmo get legal rights whlie we're at it

If the right can construct a conspiracy based on some pizza orders, surely they'll have a field day with this.
Ah yes time to listen to that new indie artist Justin Bieber
I've watched as the narrative has gone from "don't tax them, entrepreneurs create jobs!" to "don't tax them, billionaires create jobs!" and I can't wait to see the excuse for not taxing them once those entrepreneurs and billionaires get rid of all the human jobs in favour of AI and robots.
Logically somebody in a foreign country could say “the people in America voted for government services controlled by Donald Trump and deserve X” but blue staters wishing the worst on red staters always seem to feel that the election-based death should stop at the state level
Trump said Iran told him they were gonna strike US bases and he said that’s fine.
Stuff that was years of conspiracy theories in my twenties are now just off the cuff admissions that get nearly no coverage.
@bootstheory.bsky.social absolutely kills it on this episode. So good to hear someone lay out the issues with this story in such a clear, passionate manner.
The Post story: "MP seeking under-16 ban on social media welcomes 'broader' inquiry National's Catherine Wedd continues to work on the ban, but working out how to prove an age without disclosing lots of personal information to large platforms remains unsolved."
Oh, let me clear that up for you: the goal is to get us to disclose lots of personal information to large platforms. It has nothing to do with "protecting children".
Sometimes a performance is so out of place it makes me question whether they're even a good actor, and Matthew Goode in Dept Q. is that for me. He's soooo petulant and annoying I just can't imagine that's how it was written.
Didn't even take a month for this to age badly
Excerpt from 'Seymour on Māori funding: Need over race in Government policy shift - Audrey Young': "So, back to Seymour for the last word. What would Seymour’s approach be to lifting Māori out of the state of disadvantage they find themselves in in so many social statistics? The answer is dynamism."

Something to bear in mind when David Seymour has his "conversation" about privatising public services here. The difference between private and public is we have no control over what private companies do.
