I am an aspiring scifi & fantasy author who currently eats by way of work as a system's engineer/architect. Unpublished, my late in life diagnosis of ASD has brought an unexpected clarity to my writing and it's nature. I think I might be ready.

'Giving Putin the respect and status he thinks he deserves' is just a shit negotiation strategy. It hugely exaggerates Russia's global power and position in the war. You would only take that approach if you want Putin & Russia to have an artificially better outcome than the war's reality warrants.

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

“People don’t understand what kind of data they’re handing over,” EFF’s @evacide.bsky.social told @theverge.com, because Muse’s user interface is designed to encourage you to overshare. "It’s using dark patterns, and as a result you end up with Muse doing things that people don’t want.”

I was curious about the Texas elections and wanted to see a sample ballot for the Republicans...my jaw dropped. This is not normal. #texas #election #sampleballot #vote #democrats #republicans

Anyone who thinks this, should be thrown IMMEDIATELY to the front lines of any and all conflicts Let these entitled pieces of shit finally experience the world they intend to inflict on the rest of us

To "revel in the death of those who truly deserve it...is normal, good, and aligned with our natural and national order," Anduril co-founder Palmer Luckey wrote on X.

Oh for Elon to reap what he sows

Looking forward to the same scrutiny being impartially applied to Elon Musk and Melania Trump, whose immigration documents are much much worse than anything alleged about Omar's father

“Christian” pastors cheering on public executions when the whole Christian faith is based on the abhorrence of the gruesomeness of a public execution shows how far Christian Nationalism is off the rails.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

The Verge@theverge.com

Over the past year, Anthropic has repeatedly flirted with the idea that its AI models could be conscious in some way. In February, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast, “We don’t know if the models are conscious.”

Getting physical descriptors on the page without doing a mirror dump 😅 I feel like I’m slow dripping out the details for 400 chapters. What these characters looks like is my secret apparently #WeeknightWriters
