Some friends are teaching their baby ASL as an early bridge to speech and they made the mistake of teaching her “want” as a concept. Now she wanders around the house signing “want” all the time as an expression of unfocused desire. They fucked up and made the baby invent the opposite of Buddhism.

This is a deep-sea isopod. Dr. Johanna Weston, a deep-ocean biologist and guest investigator at @whoi.edu, is confident this is Bathyopsurus nybelini, one of her favorite animals. Learn why via the YouTube caption: youtube.com/shorts/DenUj...

I give up, Claude is conscious. Ergo AI developers must face imprisonment or execution for performing medical experiments on their living slave.

Challenge for those who are very confident that Claude isn't conscious: Explain how human consciousness works.

I made a free* webcomic template site for Carrd! If you want somewhere to host your comic but don’t want to bother with building a new website and having to use plugins then this may be for you! (Link below!)

Your chefs were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. But seriously these look delicious.

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"

i really want us, collectively, to understand that chat format LLMs cannot assess their own behavior. if you ask it what it did, it will construct a likely response to your query and that is all. "why did you do this" is projection. even accusing them of "lying" is projection.

AI-assistant caused DATA LOSS, destroyed projects, user files and a production database: issued faulty commands, overwriting data; another ignored freeze directives, fabricated test data, and dropped a live database. anuraag2601.github.io/gemini_cli_d... www.theregister.com/2025/07/21/r...

Human rights include the rights of the occasional jerk, lazy person, & "normally law-abiding person who ran a red light this morning b/c their alarm didn't go off." One can make correct arguments about the aggregate contributions of immigrants w/o suggesting there's a virtue test for "good ones."

Frankie Huang 黄碧赤@ourobororoboruo.bsky.social

There’s an important distinction between “undocumented immigrants contribute so much to this country” and “undocumented immigrants are normal folks trying to live their little lives and be happy just like you and me.” The latter doesn’t advocate for them through the lens of model minority tropes.
