I hate that people are making me defend Trump but too many people are joking about this one. Rare case Trump's story has some truth www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Some black cat banter thanks to the #comictober prompt list #dnd #ttrpg #comics

It's just a joke, it's just a joke, it's just a joke

it’s just great marketing

2nd week in a row with Josh Allen shaking a rusher and then throwing an interception

Just got jump-scared by a fully AI-generated ad on TV. Of course it was for shady boner pills.

Feels like Broncos bailed out the Rams with that time out

"We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us who stopped using them to order McFlurries."

A company with culture that bad would deserve to be burned to the ground. An industry with culture this bad should be nuked from orbit.

Sitting at a bar and the old couple next to me were arguing about how a kitchen reno could impact your insurance cost. Lady then says "let's ask chat" and she did not mean twitch chat, she pulled up the chatgpt app. Chat, we're cooked.

macabre = “muh-KAHB” Worcestershire = “WOOSS-ter-sheer” omnipotent = “ahm-NI-puh-tunt” reticent = “RET-uh-sunt” epitome = “ih-PIT-uh-mee” myriad = "MEER-ee-ud" Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.

Meat proxy (noun): “A person who forwards AI-generated text, code, or other output without reading, understanding, or validating it. The person acts only as a relay between the AI system and the intended recipient.” [sfisms.org]

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

EXCLUSIVE: Committee Review Finds Trump Pardons Have Cost Crime Victims $1.7 Billion and Enriched Trump Allies macfarlanenews.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

New: An "expert witness" in a $61 million lawsuit over an industrial explosion that killed three people and destroyed 200 homes used ChatGPT to write his report for the court. He prompted ChatGPT to "show how 3M is 0% at fault for the explosion at Watson Grinding" www.404media.co/show-how-3m-...

President Trump administration's pledged to crack down on sex trafficking. Instead, investigations have stalled and prosecutions declined because of staffing shortages, funding cuts, immigration enforcement and growing distrust of the government among victims. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

to be fair if there is one group u might suspect election fraud from it is the GOP

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

As a reminder: deadspin.com/hitchbot-was...

The apartment I live in decided to "upgrade" from a key fob access system for common spaces to an app. Those common spaces include the garage. So now people driving up to and away from the garage are all fumbling with their phones. Who would think this is a good idea?

@skywatch.blue What's happening here? I know Aaron posts a lot but what triggered the labels?

in my reporting i often hammer the right-wing pander brands that use booze as a vehicle to fleece marks. those grifters deserve that criticism, and i stand by it. but i'm professionally obligated to point out that there are brands running similar cons on credulous libs as well. this *also* stinks!

Oh no. USMNT keeper just pulled a Younghoe Koo #USMNT #WorldCup

Watching the highlights of the Phillies-Nats game and am really confused by the advertising behind home plate. Had to make sure I wasn't accidently watching highlights for 5 years ago. Guess Terra must have paid up front. #LUNAtic

How I wish your email found me

I've been running Follow the Crypto since 2024. Today I'm relaunching it as Tech Influence Watch, expanded to cover AI political spending alongside crypto. They’ve spent more than $400 million this election cycle, and now you can follow it in close to real time. influence.citationneeded.news

I mean, that's been edited cause that's the shower (toilet is actually behind the white door). That said - I don't know if that being a shower is that much better?

I feel like seeing a commercial on ESPN for what is essentially a payday lender (EarnIn) has to be some kind of recession indicator.

Pennsylvania courts allow attorneys to argue against their convicted clients’ bid for justice. It has resulted in people spending years or decades in prison before being freed based on issues lawyers rejected.

Dear Microsoft: Fuck all the way off with this. This is visually disruptive and literally appears above data in those cells. You're making this shit even less useful. The ribbon exists for a reason, put this bullshit there, not in the field of play.

Huh, I wonder if anything else significant happened at that same time. Something that had a global impact and we're still feeling the impact of (and exacerbated by more recent events). I wonder...

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

And the part about "A year later they like me because they ended up having a much better job" is also not true. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

If only there had been a way for the public to own a piece of Spirit Airlines. Maybe with some sort of government agency overseeing the arrangement and encouraging transparency. And independent auditors checking the books regularly (and a government agency overseeing those auditors). If only.

Really confused by the host's response about paychecks. Is he confusing FICO and FICA?

Feels longer than 3 years cause same brand of tech bro was telling me the blockchain would put me out of a job while making them ungodly wealthy since at least 2020.

this is the wallpaper my OLED monitor has been waiting for

"I am now beginning to believe his condition may be genetic."

I'm confused by the reactions to this video. Sandlin (the Smarter Every Day guy) rightly points out that tariffs hurt businesses. But everyone is focused on the apparent absurdity of a chainmail making machine? Has no one ever look for cast iron scrubbers before?

Sometimes you wonder. Bloomberg this morning saying that you can't both believe that AI is a big deal and that we're in a bubble. But you absolutely can! That's exactly the story of the tech bubble of the 90s, major economic impact but not big profits. Sigh.

Unfun reminder that the reason they always run out is because people take them as souvenirs. Cause what olympic athlete isn't going to grab a handful of olympic-branded condoms to take home if presented the chance?

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

It's the little details that really shine through. Every prop person in existence could have make a convincing prop of Common Sense but we're left with this garbage. Whole trailer is a mix of uncanny valley and shots that don't stay on one thing for more than a few seconds. Just AI slop.

Comply. #comicsky

Trump will reverse course when the bankers dangle some money at him. But until then, a note about the admin hypocrisy regarding credit cards: www.reuters.com/business/fin...
