Dark Parity

Your monthly reminder that if you're using ChatGPT to do your science, you're failing your colleagues, community, and all of us. Here, ChatGPT makes up data and presents it as the real thing — then apologizes when confronted.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

if you are running a PHP application - it does not matter what it is - you are vulnerable. if you are running some embedded firmware that uses PHP to serve its web UI - you are vulnerable. full details and a patch at 2 PM UTC sharp tomorrow, you have been advised to prepare to patch immediately

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Wife: use the newspaper to get that spider down Me *reads the news out loud* Spider *depressed* holy shit

Imagine if we spent as much on human education and training as we're now spending on AI. Imagine schools with unlimited resources. Imagine the accelerated development of young minds. Imagine opportunities created by helping all humans grow toward their full potential.

Man who won’t give his employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon

you’re not letting us work three days a week, you’re all going to start competing for who has the most trillions of dollars instead of billions of dollars while spending significant portions of it to make sure that any taxes that could be used to that end never come to pass

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Naomi Klein Is Spot On.......

OpenAI is mad that a Chinese AI company is "stealing" their intellectual property, which wouldn't exist if OpenAI didn't engage in large-scale theft of intellectual property

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Two words should be enough... Jamal Khashoggi 😢

That was almost too easy.

"There are numerous laws in place that already prohibit many of the harmful activities engaged in by the large AI firms. But those laws are mostly not being enforced sufficiently to make a meaningful difference, because in America, we simply do not enforce the law against the powerful."

Well now, Xi, what happened is, one of our chatbots, it had a sort of, well it had a little hallucination. And uh, we went and did a silly thing. Well, I'll tell you what we did, we sank one of your ships. Well, listen, how do you think I feel about it? Can you imagine how I feel about it, Xi?

I don’t want Margaret Thatcher brought to life; I like her how she is.

I'd say "Something for nothing" culture is getting paid £100,000 a year of public money, plus expenses, for a job that you then fail to turn up to for months on end

Here's Amazon's two new planned fossil-fuelled AI data centres next to the ENTIRE POWER GRIDS OF SEVERAL LARGE COUNTRIES Together, the two gas-burning data centres will emit more than Spain's entire grid, if built

On CNN, El-Sayed is asked about this Trump post. He says it represents "two different visions of America:" "Two people who don't like each other but are joined in the interest of making billions of dollars off of you. Or, two people who genuinely love each other, enjoying some panacakes together."

Lots of people are calling Farage a hypocrite for his reaction to Zak Polanski's post, but that's unfair; he'd ONLY be a hypocrite if someone from Reform had shared a death threat to a sitting MP and he'd reacted with a shrug of his shoulders... Oh...

Musk was humiliated in his interview with The Economist editor Zanny Minton Beddoes. She called him out on his bullshit, pointed out his lies and ignorance and extreme prejudice. We need more interviews like that. This is the response of the world’s thinnest-skinned man.

Ossoff: "Aren't we all tired of living under an administration where we know we have to ask about every single thing whether the first family is getting paid and lining their own pockets?"

perfect dead drop 10/10 no notes (the shrouds really make this)

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

MSNOW put together collection of clips of Fox anchors talking in front of the Great American State Fair.

A real theme here of America’s fascist crackpot government demanding huge sums of money with menaces, and our leaders as one falling over themselves to pay up. All of it being treated as just fine and normal.

The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here… On June 29, 2026, NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory officially began the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST)! 🔭🧪☄️🌌 🔗: rubinobservatory.org/news/action-...

Any party that has been in power multiple times could have changed the voting system, and should not be allowed to moan about "splitting the vote". They CHOSE to leave the system in a way that votes can be split and wasted. It's on THEM.

“This is a victory for 🇺🇸— because our goal from day one was for Iran to open the strait that wasn’t closed until after we attacked…” 🤣 (H/T @waltermasterson.bsky.social )

I feel like I'm in a Joseph Heller novel. I've lost track of how many times we've destroyed some iteration of their military/munitions.

A look back at Trump’s first 100 days of the Iran War being almost over

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."
