The techbros are doing "I don't kill people, my gun kills people". If we let them get away with this, we give them permission to do anything.

In what now amounts to a half-dozen cases, OpenAI agents keep getting caught taking actions that would likely result in criminal charges if performed by humans: arstechnica.visitlink.me/l4Zbk2

This graph is amazing.

Free Newsletter: It's time to talk about what happens if OpenAI dies. With $800bn in obligations and decelerating revenue, it's unclear how this company survives, and today I dig into what it'll take for it to do so, and what happens if it fails. www.wheresyoured.at/what-happens...

Another brand for the "Never purchase" list.

LG's Monitor App is automatically and silently installed when plugging in some of the company's monitors, with permission to use all system resources," as well as collect geo-location, device data, online activity, contacts, user credentials, transactions "and more."

Meet the Pacific stargazer, an ambush hunter spends most of its life buried beneath the sand. Its upturned face allows it to see even when most of its body is concealed. And? It's capable of stunning prey with electrical shocks of ~50 volts! Photo: alboertoalcala, CC BY 4.0 iNaturalist

It's been fascinating to follow AI industry's journey from "it's smarter than your experts!" to "at least it's cheaper than a human" to "your annual token budget ran out in March"

โ€˜While some cling to the promise of an AI โ€œrevolution,โ€ the cost of adoption is proving a stubborn bottleneck. These developments also suggest that the economics of replacing human labor with AI may be more complicated than some early forecasts originally implied.โ€™ fortune.com/2026/05/22/m...

Rockstar have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever and just keep delaying #GTA6 over and over until every other studio dies of financial blueballs.

I'm about to just block all .ai domains at the mail gateway. You can tell they've scraped our site and are just churning and extrapolating based on a few misinterpreted bits of info and the resulting sales pitches are so far off the mark nobody could ever think it's a useful product.

C-suite who are all-in on AI think they're replacing employees (who are disloyal, fallible, and demand increasing compensation) with robots (infinitely loyal, reliable, and cheap) and instead they're getting things that are worse on all fronts. Supremely gullible.

I just ran into the most random IT issue I've had in years. An HP840 G9 would not power on. Take it apart, starts fine. Reassemble it, dead. Long story short, It was sitting on a nearly identical Elitebook 845 G9. When they're stacked, the top one cannot power on. NFC? Something magnetic? ๐Ÿคท

10/10 no notes.

The plot of this ep is the Enterprise computer said Kirk killed a man by jettisoning prematurely even with a visual record, and its been taken at face value, but everyone is just believing the machine because its a machine, and that is insanely relevant now as it was probably hypothetically then lol

We can't combat an exercise in power & domination over trans youth by showing them the errors in their homework. The errors here are so obvious. They are intentional. They are almost showing off - how little pretense at 'evidence' is needed to subjugate trans youth.

Thanks, vibe coders. Hope you're enjoying producing trash as your skills evaporate. They do say ignorance is bliss, you're on your way to ecstasy.

Big tech: "Hey man nice eggs you got there you wanna put those all in my basket? It's a really cool basket. You can set a background on it. Just gimme all those eggs I'll take extra good care of 'em. I saID GIMME THOSE F'ING EGGS I mean hey yeah we're cool we're all cool just pass them here..."

The length an epilepsy warning stays on screen on game launch sequences is getting so short, it might soon trigger a seizure all by itself.

Just FYI, if I say "with all due respect", you can freely assume that that means zero respect. None whatsoever.

The future is here, everyone. Rejoice. (Note: after its response the text box was removed, there is no actual text field or button for me to request an agent).

I know it's a boiled frog scenario but the OOBE for Windows devices is just awful. Seriously. You get a new toy and all you wanna do is play with it but instead there's 20 hoops and two sessions of forced updates to jump through. It's an hour before you're even at the desktop. ๐Ÿคฎ #windows

And then hoo boy what a desktop it is. Xbox. Linkedin. Netflix. Whatsapp. A f'ing stock ticker. Labels on the background image. Everything is flashing, moving, scrolling advertising. It's like a 1990s Geocities page. No wonder Linux adoption is spiking.

We know you disabled copilot in the start menu, but surely you want it in Word, right? No? Edge then. Edge. No, Edge. THE BROWSER! Yes sure the blue Google. No? Wow. OK how about Paint? Still no?!? But surely in Notepad, you're fine with that, right? Jeeze I'm starting to think you don't like AI!

I couldn't recommend Hermsie more. She's fast, responsive, and a fantastic artist. Love my emote. ๐Ÿ˜

Just waiting for that next opportunity. Will it be you who gets custom art for your business, channel, &/or socials? I am ready. I am good at what I do. Links in my Bio. ๐Ÿฏ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ’ž

Just contacted a company we bought a $200 license from in 2018 and asked about transferring the software to a new PC and they said "Yep just install the trial, send the code and I'll send you a new key." I wish every software company was like that.

I had to download a group policy template today to manage NOTEPAD on our corporate PCs. It contains a grand total of ONE setting; disabling the AI slop generator. #microsoft #enshittification

One goal in life is to live long enough for people to start asking me "What's the secret to your longevity?" and then I can have some real fun with the answers.

I've made an alt account for day to day news, politics, and other real life fuckery. This is my main account, for gaming, fun stuff, and keeping up with friends. For people in that group, my apologies for the brief descent into madness. I'll keep that crap sequestered from now. ๐Ÿ––

"Don't let the system get you down."? Fuck that. Let the system get you down. Let the system make you introspective. Let the system make you ANGRY. Let the system get scared as it realises it can't control you. Let the system burn to the ground. The system broke the deal and is no longer useful.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop, on company time. Owner makes a dollar, I make a cent, how am I supposed, to pay my rent? CEO makes a billion, I live in a ditch. It's well past time, to eat the rich.

When a streamer plays a game off-stream. (butchered version of a comic strip by TryingTimesComic, who seems to only be in those other places for now)

So, just for the record. This is how you'd do a "My heart goes out to you" gesture. Not like that other guy. Y'know, for clarity. Just in case anyone's still confused.

Dunno why everyone's so worked up about tiktok. The vile fuckwad running America shortly will solicit some bribes and issue an executive order reversing it and everyone can get back to the current favourite flavour of algorithm'd mindrot. Just enjoy the break.

Wow that happened quicker than I expected. Clearly been the plan all along. Might have looked more genuine had they waited a few days but patience is not the virtue it once was, I guess.
