Agents “are essentially digital clones of real individuals, who are interviewed to gather their preferences, personality and other traits. Simile then combines that data with participants’ behavioral and purchase data to ensure ‘generalizability and visibility into people’s thoughts and behaviors’”
Are you a masochist
The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Over on Mastodon, @laurenweinstein.org is floating rumors that Noem is about to be fired. Let’s hope they’re accurate, and that the next step is prosecution.

Stop portraying Jews as the string-pullers and Trump as the marionette Challenge 2026.
Folks, the goyim are perfectly capable of fucking everything up without our help.

I just wrote “poopulist” instead of “populist” and you know, what, subconscious, that’s a big W for you
I had a meeting with Affleck in 2001, when he was pitching Project Greenlight. I was a market analyst at an internet research firm in NYC.
He said “the way I see it, guys, the internet now is like television was back in the early ‘50s."

Just the executive chairman of defense tech company Anduril trying to buy Wired, cool cool cool.
More anthropomorphic framing of AI, which diverts responsibility from human actors.
Claude didn’t “partner" with anyone, and neither did Maven.
Executives at Anthropic partnered with military brass, using algorithmic systems to justify their targeting decisions, which killed 1000s of civilians.
As the author of a book with a principal trans character, allow me to say
FUCK THIS SHIT
I don’t know a single professor *or graduate student* who isn’t struggling right now. It’s the natural consequence of working in an embattled field under a fascist regime and conditions of prolonged austerity.
he outlines this massive surveillance society under the pretense that ethical, responsible people will be in charge, undermined by his effort to cement a permanent zealot kakistocracy in a country too corrupt to have working regulators or corporate accountability of any kind
