You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

"AI can draft an essay for you, especially if you give it a high quality prompt." Really? This is what MIT thinks high schoolers should learn? MIT's "Day of AI" dayofai.org provides materials for K-12 teachers and claims to have reached over 5,000,000 students to date. 1/2

Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been spending time up in the Sault with the Bay Mills and Sault tribes. We must protect tribal sovereignty, protect our Great Lakes, and ensure everyone can get a good job and know that our basic rights and dignities are preserved.

I think if you can’t understand why the cheesecake factory joke was funny you should not be allowed out without supervision.

this is happening because big tech customer support basically doesn't exist and desperate people are asking ChatGPT what to do. ChatGPT is sending them to journalists

If the real priority was actually protecting girls from actual men who pose a risk to them in sports, it would make much more sense to advocate for banning male coaches and male doctors. And I’ve never, ever ever heard that suggestion, because that’s not really what this is about.

Every clip I see about Bauza is so heartbreaking, he seems like such an amazing dude. Also, we gotta bring back using voice actors for animated shows and not just celebrities looking for an easy buck.

"The odds of a deep and severe AI crash are rapidly increasing."

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

NEW: Anthropic’s filing appears to partly walk back the co-founders’ pledge to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the AI startup to philanthropic causes. Those acts, the filing suggests, are “voluntary, revocable expressions” that “do not constitute binding obligations.”

Just learned that my town is terminating its Flock contract

quick somebody put this in charge of every giant business and the US government oh we already did phew

“Critically dependent” on founders who are “uniquely equipped” to direct a technology that could cause “catastrophic harm” to humanity, but it’s definitely not a cult.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Guys, just buy more lenses, as Newton intended.

Well, now we have the title for a definitive history of the AI era.

And much of Oxford Street is going car-free from tomorrow! I don't even live in London anymore but I'm genuinely excited about this. If it works well, it could be one of Khan's big legacies. People have been talking about doing this for literal decades, and now it's happening.

"When Trump says 'we' are making money he doesn’t mean you, me, or the United States. He means Exxon, Chevron, and his other Big Oil donors," @jamiehenn.bsky.social said.

I spent a happy afternoon watching the new Dipper who appears to have taken up residence on our village stream. I've missed there being Dippers SO much this year. Smitten all over again. Listen carefully and you'll hear him/her singing above the sound of the water... without opening his beak!

If you're in Brazil, I hope you get out and vote for Lula. Sending the very, very best to you!

seriously, as a trans person living in Iowa I'm not voting for this guy and I'm asking you not to either
