One of the newest proposed rules in the Federal Registry is trying to REDUCE the amount of time Robocall callers have to honor revocation requests! Comment AGAINST this ridiculous proposed rule. Comments are due by November 25! www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

I miss the days when "purity test" on the Internet meant a 500 entry questionnaire cataloging a long list of sexual acts, recreational chemicals, and miscellaneous petty crimes and outrages, with the objective of revealing to your peers just how much of a pervert you were.
It's one of the biggest positive signs that you are talking to a morally and intellectually lazy asshole, or somebody acting in bad faith to pose as morally and intellectually lazy in order to disguise the worse thing they actually are.

I'm hardly surprised. I've watched a few of the Chinese AI-generated shorts. They're soulless and uninteresting "action" pieces. They have a tendency to veer into non-sequitur. I can't really see the audience getting into them.
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...

Hot on the heels of Microsoft's mind-bogglingly racist Copilot commercial about using AI in the office, the investment firm Apollo Global Management issues shareholder guidance that "outside of programming, there is no sign AI spend has any return on investment." www.apollo.com/wealth/insig...

A couple of things jump out at me about this: 1. Since when is daily life called "a workflow?" That's just kinda gross. 2. Almost all of the problems people are using AI to "manage their lives" exist because we lack a bureaucratic tradition of helping people. "You're on your own" is so American.

It turns out that voters will tolerate a certain degree of negative campaigning — but they have their limits. As Vivek Ramaswamy is now finding out (and learning a BIG lesson) By @paulwaldman.bsky.social in @atrupar.com's latest PN: open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...
Sorry, but the gas price listed in here is bullshit. Gas prices in Alaska are less than $5. I want to win, but not by lying outright like the Trump Regime does. gasprices.aaa.com/state-gas-pr...

Before the Brazilian election where progressive Lula beat right-wing Bolsonaro, Meta is accused of disrupting Lula's Insta and WhatsApp accounts Meta blamed "technical difficulties" That would be more believable if similar incidents had not happened recently in the US Tech billionaires are evil

"Fox News hosts are professional propagandists. I think they looked at Zacharia as someone who was not capable of covering for Donald Trump when he gets in trouble, someone who wouldn’t be able to lash out at the media for daring to cover him, and they helped her off stage because of that."

Trump could not say it more plainly: he doesn't "give a damn" about the American people suffering because of his illegal war. VOTE!
"Trump went on to claim that Americans were "paying lower than Biden and Obama and they don't have nuclear weapons..."" If you're a Republican, ask yourself this: if Iran had nuclear weapons during Obama's & Biden's terms (that's 12 YEARS), why didn't they use them? And why would they use them now?
Trump could not say it more plainly: he doesn't "give a damn" about the American people suffering because of his illegal war. VOTE!

The techbro "LLMs can supercharge your ADHD superpowers" meme will collide with the DHS stance "ADHD medications are overprescribed and do more harm than good," leading to your being deprived of your medication and prescribed a government-approved Claude Max account instead.
There is this HORRIBLE bro-meme going around that "AI plus ADHD is supercharged productivity. The places where ADHD creates weakness is exactly where AI excels." FUCK OFF with that. LLMs are ADHD magnifiers. Not the skills, the symptoms. It forces you into time snacks and destroys your cadence.

Mamdani has released a video on how to deal with ICE, spoken entirely in Spanish. The right is labeling it "seditious," emphasizing the saying that racism is so deeply embedded in America that if you oppose racism, conservatives believe you oppose America. www.latintimes.com/mamdanis-spa...

The Department of Health and Human Services wants you to know that its legal filings against vaccination and trans care are completely legit, despite 75%(!) of the footnotes and 83%(!) of the cases referenced in recent filings are pure AI hallucinations. www.washingtonsun.com/agencies/hhs...
