It's weird seeing AI bubbles across the world begin to collapse in real-time because AI continually needs more input to function, every time it's used its trained and becomes shittier, but nobody's writing their own code now, so it's a death spiral for everyone who needs claude to work

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

yeh tbh if AI is so great you should be proud of it, you should disclose it everywhere and put a bunch of stickers yourself that you used it for your project showing everyone how cool and cutting edge you are, no? like, it's the future right? you love it right??

The logo used to have brown leaves behind it in the 60's-70's and doesn't any more, which is what people get confused about.

Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump are responsible. Hint, they both are!

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondล™ej Surรฝ saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Iโ€™ve been released from IDF custody with a โ€œwarning,โ€ apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasnโ€™t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Love the article saying "In some cases it stems from a traumatic childhood. But in other cases the parents think they did nothing wrong!?" As if those two things can't both be true.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Hard agree. If you havenโ€™t heard of it, itโ€™s because Meta sued the author and got a gag order that prevents her from saying a single word about her own book. Mark Zuckerberg is a threat to human rights and democracies the world over, including ours. It is vitally important you know how and why.

so restricting Ukraine's Starlink was Musk's idea, but after Moscow took advantage he became "alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe" to the "night of carnage" and denied responsibility I mean, it sounds like typical Elon

Ruin Explorers is such a hidden gem of a series. Both the manga and OVA are of such high quality, I'm surprised more people haven't heard of it. If you're into lighthearted 90s sword & sorcery like Slayers, you absolutely should check it out.
