Það þarf einhver að segja meirihlutanum í borgarstjórn að þegar þeim var falið að reka borgina þá áttu þau ekki að taka því bókstaflega.

Putting drones into the hands of gamers will lead to a 30% loss of drones due crashes, 20% loss due to that dickhead Billy Meadows stalking his own teammates for lolz, but with that remaining 50% there will be a solid victory & discovering war crimes no one but the most hardcore gamer could imagine.

„Óeirðirnar í Frakklandi er út af innflytjendum” er ekki yfirlýsing sem er sett fram í umræðuskyni. Hún er ekki til komin út frá rökum eða gögnum. Þetta er yfirlýsing um að viðkomandi tilheyrir þeim ættbálki sem vill kenna innflytjendum um öll vandamál nútímans.

„Hækkun á útsvari er vissulega ein leið til þess að auka tekjurnar. En hækkun ein og sér kemur ekkert í veg fyrir að þú þurfir að fara í endurskoðun á rekstrinum.“ Það er rétt í sjálfu sér - en þegar reksturinn er búinn að vera í halla í áratug þá er klikkun að hækka ekki útsvar.

Billionaires get mad at things that can't be bought, like talent. Surely they should be able to write books and perform music and have mathematical insights just as well as the talented -- they're rich! If we let them dismiss and devalue real talent, we're going to pay a big price.

The Toronto police chief said removing the protected bike lanes is “lawful work,” which, if impeded, could lead to arrests. I don't understand how something that people know will lead to vehicular manslaughter can be considered "lawful work."

Donald Trump has destroyed the economy, helped Vladimir Putin murder thousands of Ukrainians, lost a war to Iran, and ushered in a new era of unprecedented corruption. But one of the kids on Odd Squad looks gender-fluid to me. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Finnst pínu sturlað að ENGIN* íslensk fréttaveita hafi fjallað um það að Úkraínski herinn sprengdi rússneskt gagnaver í nótt, sem tók út stóran hluta af rússneskum tröllabottum og gerði internetið svona 300% betra á einu bretti. *þigg leiðréttingar ef mér yfirsást eitthvað

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

to be a parent in the long Trump era is to pick up your phone and be greeted by video of masked government goons disappearing parents from playgrounds, then wonder exactly how long until this goes from a tragedy documented elsewhere to one you'll be forced to see in person at your own local park

China and North Korea have never live-streamed an execution to the masses. In terms of public executions that have been recorded and then shared and spread online, there’s stuff from Iran and also Mexican cartels.

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

Það væri óskandi að ríkisstjórn Íslands sjái sóma sinn í því að handtaka Marco Rubio og framselja hann til Haag. Hef reyndar engar grillur um að það verði af því, en það væri engu að síður óskandi.

Hálfur þátturinn er Tina Fey að reyna að finna grænmeti sem ekki er myglað. Það tekst ekki. Mikið hlegið. Mikið gaman.

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

Þessi fjölgun útkalla er ekki vísbending um breyttar aðstæður í samfélaginu. Lögreglan ákvað fyrir nokkrum árum að breyta ferlum hjá sér og kallar núna til sérsveitina í hin og þessi verkefni, sem hafa nákvæmlega enga þörf fyrir vélbyssur og kíkisriffla. Þetta er útpæld bakdyraleið til vopnvæðingar.

ruv.isFjöldi vopnaútkalla sjöfaldaðist en mönnun stendur í stað - RÚV.isSérsveitin sinnti 474 vopnaútköllum í fyrra. Það er sjöföldun frá 2014, en mönnun hefur nánast staðið í stað frá 2008, að því er fram kemur í nýrri greiningu.

Er það bara ég eða er alveg fáránlegt að ríkið hafi yfirhöfuð vald til að setja lög á verkföll? Verkfallsrétturinn á að vera algjörlega heilagur, engir nema viðsemjendur ættu að hafa nokkuð um það að segja hvort til verkfalls komi eða ekki.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Apparently the movie 2001 did not break even until 7 years after it came out. I am reminded of the Terry Pratchett quote about opera. Opera does not make money, Opera is what you spend money on. You put in a bunch of money, and you get an opera.

in 30 years people are going to wonder how we got caught up in the AI extinction hysteria while a real mass extinction was happening and we did very little to stop it

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

“The orcs are moral creatures. They have clear notions of good and evil and these mean the same things to them as they do to us. “The puzzling thing is: this appears to have no bearing whatsoever on their behavior. And they have no self-awareness or capacity for self-criticism.”

The vibe at Anthropic must be incredible. Imagine earnestly believing you’re working on a technology that might end civilization or at the minimum cause mass unemployment but you gotta lock-in for the IPO in October. 😫
