China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

AI people out here proudly telling anecdotes that will later be brought up in custody hearings.

This is pretty funny. A crackpot group claims they see relatively recent small comet impacts all over the place, and cite as evidence structures such as — seriously — golf bunkers, gravel pits, and retention basins. Embarrassing.

Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly have signed an endorsement deal with DraftKings

hey y'all I already don't enjoy the way shit is going just don't fucking make fake SNES prototypes with AI vibe code shit

This analyst's report from Apollo about AI uses the term "S&P 493" to refer to the "S&P 500 minus the Mag 7" - because if you take out the AI companies, the S&P 500 is tanking. www.apollo.com/wealth/insig...

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Nathan Fielder: Do you understand why the joke was funny Elizabeth Holmes: Steamed hams is a funny thing to call a hamburger

"A.i." is a tool of extraction, not liberation. These fucking products are designed to fuck you over, not help you.

You asked AI for the cheapest flight. It dug through your emails, decided you could afford more, and suggested a ticket costing $100–$200 extra. Lindsay Owens explains ⬇️

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

One of the biggest problems with AI projects is that they are so verbose it takes an incredible amount of time going through the docs before you realize they’re lying and hallucinating and thus wasting your fucking time.

Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

Sick of AI slop posters? Well, we're on a new level now... Decompiled, cloned, and modified software is going viral and might slopify everything—even your exercise bike. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social explains: Watch the full thing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbG1...

The Cincinnati Bengals players ignored jd vance like his mother did.

"I'm BLACKPILLED on POLITICS" makes it sound like a position of cynical disenchantment, a philosophical stance that rejects any possibility of a functional state. No, wrong. You're fucking dumb. You're a dumb guy who made a dumb choice and now you're too embarrassed to admit it.

An email I received, and my response

"I Believed American Healthcare Was the Best in the World. Then I Did the Math" Yale epidemiologist @Alison_Galvani anticipated a hefty price tag for Medicare for All. But she found that we are already paying more than enough right now to cover the cost of universal healthcare.

Alright well uh, this is my uber. Just gonna scoooooch by ya there heh, anyway see ya

Even more crazy is that, on its own, this statement could be referring to either Trump or Elon

People don't talk much about how much we actually kind of enjoyed the .com bust. Lots of visited a website called FuckedCompany that tracked all the catastrophes as they unfolded. There were dead pools. We were having a lot of laughs, while everything burned around us.

⚡️ “We're fighting too little against the propaganda Russia is spreading everywhere. Social media today so easily affects people's minds with the new AI.” Latvian PM Andris Kulbergs on Russian propaganda and how it changed after three Yandex centers were attacked.

Anyone who uses generative AI is a sham and a fraud. The Society of Authors has sold us out, abandoned their responsibilities, and can no longer be trusted to represent creatives.

Should I be posting more writing/TVFilm/etc advice? Yes Am I spending my time making silly videos of my dad instead? Also yes. Please go follow him on Instagram @LiteIceLarry. He literally giggled when I told him he had 200 followers. He has ZERO social media, so this has been fun.

MARYLAND — @RepAndyHarrisMD gets laughed at 🤡 for trying to blame the Dems for high fuel prices, then whines about the “first amendment” 😢 Who wants to tell Andy getting appropriately ridiculed for saying embarrassing things doesn’t violate his rights?

I thought I had at least passing familiarity with conspiracy theories until the man sitting next to me at the Lebanon, OH Skyline told me “space ain’t real.” “What do you think is between us and the moon?” an employee asked. The man seemed to think about this for a moment. “The moon…is with us.”

Gah. Stop this nonsense. FOM is a benefit. Stop framing it as a negative. Also, FOM is one of the four freedoms. Without it, you can’t be in the EU and can’t even be in the single market. This isn’t difficult.

i got so many people calling this tweet fakeposting back when i made it but since this is bluesky and things have less reach on here im just going to post the photo

Having grown up in Wales, I can testify that if you are actually worried about your culture and history being under threat, the thing to do is write poetry and songs, perform plays, tell stories and organise festivals, not just sit around whining.

Most TV is just this now.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if AI can't improve productivity of coding, then all other claims about productivity improvements are essentially horseshit. Coding was the one thing everyone was like "well yeah of course it will be able to do that faster"

This is one of the most terrifying interviews I’ve ever seen. The slow reveal of the mental landscape at work here. If you don’t end up thinking we should stop these people with as much force as we can muster, I’d be very surprised. youtu.be/lnLDjXy2kRA?...

"When the AI Bubble Bursts, Big Tech Will Be Scarier Than Ever" The AI bust will be a crucial moment in the history of capitalism. Big tech is organised – we need to get organised enough to resist. From @graceblakeley.substack.com for @zeteo.uk:

The aim of the Republican Party is to delegitimize and dismantle the United States government in order to resegregate, restore patriarchy, privatize and plunder the states they control.

Vibe coding is everywhere now, and it’s actively disrupting the hobbyist and niche communities that make up so much of the internet https://youtu.be/TVsfbLqaNFM

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

Remember my article last week with the Naomi Klein quote that cities are inherently anti-fascist? This is part of that idea.

Your favorite Anthropic so-called "whistleblower" said that the rationalists have "specialized minds" that allow them to see that the end is about to be brought on to us by a magical machine god. Parroting the cult leader (of the rationalists, the R in TESCREAL) who says the same about himself.
