This is horrifying.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

"He's gonna fix it. Believe in him ... all the abortion, it's evil ... I want to see 2 people -- Trump & Jesus...we do not want Muslims taking over...I have horrible thoughts. I don't think they should be here. This isn't their country...they need to pack up & go back where they came from."

The video is a hard and important listen. It takes less than one minute to hear just one story of what is being done in our name.

ICE must be defunded and destroyed in its entirety and every person who enabled and worked for it must be stripped of all honor and government employment forever. Their names should be added to registries and people should be notified if they're moving into their neighborhoods. They're dangerous.

Don't drink raw milk. If you drink it without illness you are lucky, you are not disproving the dangers. This child had no choice. Her mother was misled and now living with the knowledge that she was to blame for giving this to her child.

to keep functioning, society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Trump lies: "Oil will come dropping down as soon as Iran gives up, as soon as the war is over, which will be soon. Prices for groceries have come way down for Biden. Almost every price has come way down. And remember one thing -- oil is less expensive now than it was under the Biden administration."

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power. Remember this.

I am hoping outlets will finally realize that playing along with the bronzer icon and his ilk will not spare them from his tantrums. To quote TMBG "You can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding."

If you're sick of right-wing-billionaire-controlled national news outlets, do yourself a favor and follow some LOCAL journalists and news outlet! Much less likely to toe the Trump line AND vastly more likely to report on critical local movements that have national impact! go.bsky.app/FzSc9z

I understand that funding bodies want to go all in on AI as the shiny new innovation thing. But if all the grants start going to AI at the expense of everything else then the research sector is going to end up looking like a farm with dozens of threshers hacking away in a field with no wheat.

A year ago, Donald Trump signed a bill to slash health care for millions of Americans, including children. Here’s how many kids have lost Medicaid and CHIP because of Donald Trump so far. Alabama: 5,663 kids Alaska: 12,388 kids Arizona: 74,680 kids Arkansas: 10,523 kids

TIL that telling the fundraising chat message to "Fuck off" will automatically unsubscribe you. A multiple paragraph screed on the dangers of an election industrial complex and how groups that assault our phones and email non-stop have ruined the grassroots giving environment does not. 🤷‍♀️

“These may be perverse days when it’s awfully hard to celebrate the founding of America. But in 140 days, on Nov. 3, we have the opportunity to stand up to this sickness and corruption and accelerate the necessary process of curtailing this hateful regime’s power.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

One year ago, an act of political violence claimed the lives of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman, her husband, Mark, and their dog, Gilbert, in their home. That same day, Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also shot multiple times and survived their injuries.

If you miss something important in your email because you are subscribed to dozens upon dozens of list you never read do you think: a) I should unsubscribe from some of these. or b) I should blame my family for not also texting/calling me right away so they are sure I saw the email.

Not saying calling would have been a bad time but externalizing things we are frustrated by onto others and making them responsible for outcomes we don't like, when we have agency in the situation, is not healthy.

There are three key states of life: 1) Things are pretty good. 2) Things are really bad and I need to deal with it. 3) Things are going on that are bad. They are big enough to be worries but not big enough for me to be able to drop other things and/or I can't influence them.

I hate the third, especilly when the world is on fire. I am great in a crisis but slow burn of things being wrong with no ability to influence, control, or be on the ground to access them? That drains me so fast and I feel so powerless. This too will pass, maybe like a metaphorical kidney stone.

Among the things wrong with the emphasis on AI is that when it gives you a correct answer it often gives you the common answer. That is essentially useless when what you are searching for is information about a corner case or niche question. Now that web searches are using AI they are worthless.

I used to work around this by not using LLMs. Now that they are getting crammed into every web interface there are fewer ways to get good information. As a reminder, most librarians love complex reference questions and if the interwebs are failing you, a call to your library might be the ticket.

I am actively resisting the urge to by more headphones and socks. A clear sign I am overstimulated and feeling under nurtured (which is not helped by the whole overestimation thing making me want to climb in a hole ignore the world).

Worth noting again that without the dementia he would still be a nazi. The reason we relentlessly highlight the dementia because apparently there are way too many people not bothered by the “nazi” part

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?
