Please drag this out until OpenAI's collapse kills Oracle. I don't ask for much, just the loss of several hundred billion dollars

i remember scientists saying 20 years ago that climate change-fueled wildfires would darken and poison the skies hundreds of miles away. but republicans said that was a lie, so now climate change-fueled wildfires darken and poison the skies hundreds of miles away every summer

I definitely would’ve believed it even back then. There’s an entire setting where an Arcology (think “smart building” cranked up to 11) is taken over by the AI agent… Oh crap. That’s the next thing that’s going to end up defictionalized.

"Laura Burns name was removed from the credits. The single mother who made the expose of Andrew and Epstein possible was not on any of the BAFTA award submissions either. To call her erasure unfair is to put it mildly."

There quite literally needs to be memorials to the fallen in Minneapolis. This is a resistance worth memorializing in the most literal of ways.

Today in AI Is Not A Good Source For Learning About The World's Most Misunderstood Body Part, meet this ChatGPT gem. Funnily enough, we're actually going to talk about how most of this is kinda sorta right (for small values of right), as a cautionary tale about generative AI.

Media scholar Danielle K. Brown looks at how coverage of George Floyd’s murder 5 years ago tended to focus more on the violence of protestors, and less on the grievances about police violence – and how that has changed. buff.ly/cb5TMF2 @daniellekbrown.bsky.social

As much as we may wish to deny it, we are often motivated by fear more than anything else. It is a hard way to live. But true warriors pledge to meet those fears shoulder to shoulder, to stand against them together. In doing so, we are motivated against fear, not by it.

Airlines are businesses that depend on public trust. The chaos of the Trump Administration is deadly to them, figuratively and literally. They absolutely should be out there leading pushback against him.

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks. Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

Fred Rogers does seem to have been a genuinely decent human being and also he would probably be the first to tell you not to idolize him, but to find in yourself what is beautiful and special and hold that up to the light so that you can see it clearly, and can everyone else.

Sean Murphy (not that one)@taser8.bsky.social

Is it okay if I still idolize Mister Rogers?

Since writing this article, I have received messages from angry men, calling me names, telling I’m wrong, & that I’d be begging a man to save me if I was lost in the woods. To recap, there are men are sending me abusive emails to prove they are the safe choice. So far, no bears have written in.

Women, would you rather be stuck in a forest with a strange man or a strange bear? inews.co.uk/opinion/wome...
