Can you imagine if the entirety of Northrop Grumman's contract award for the Apollo Lunar Module instead went to their lead designer personally building a giant printing press dedicated to churning out child pornography? This is essentially where we are. #spcx

It is a national embarrassment that there are exactly zero mentions of the Human Landing System in SpaceX's earnings call today. Every dollar of public investment has gone to making sure Starlink meets earnings expectations and that the world's saddest trillionaire can keep on being sad.

13. Hence our dismal conclusion: rather than finding that LLMs free us to do a better job of what we were doing before they came along, they shift scientific incentives (and the playing field of academic competition) in ways that compel us to do more and more, faster and faster, less and less well.

It is a mark of integrity to be hated by cretins

Still-framing a movie to catch all the details then coding an effect to match is a level of obsessed that feels very familiar to me :) Also, @kari.bsky.social wrote her own code and didn't cheat with "AI", which is way too common in the retro scene nowadays. Well done!!

youtu.be/yDItCLecx3k Breaking the movie down frame by frame I think I got most of the program worked out. But would love to compare with the original prop, if still around, so if anyone knows which studio made it, I would love to know (maybe @asavage.bsky.social you can help :) @tested.com

NEW: A bipolar man's mental health was deteriorating. ChatGPT affirmed his religious delusions, telling him that he was Jesus Christ and that it was God, according to a new lawsuit. When the man became suicidal, ChatGPT told him: “You've made your choice." futurism.com/artificial-i...

Tony Iommi wasn't melting Fairy Liquid bottles to replace his fingertips so you could tell me AI is "inevitable"

When I read "and honestly?" and "not x, not y, just z" within a few sentences of each other, I have a physical reaction of revulsion and stop reading. #fuckai

State-of-the-art: Mega Man - PAL edition! The USA NES box art is pretty infamous, but I'd not seen the PAL version before with its own unique artwork. Feels very much like it could be a movie poster!

okay okay fine! dang! #art

today I had a dream where I painted this

The first demo image of the new AI-enabled Siri (I'm calling it Sloppy Siri) on Apple's site is so profoundly stupid. The "summary" erases the fact that they're asking a question in the first sentence. Then it pretty much copies the second sentence. WHAT. IS. THIS. GOOD. FOR. #apple #siri #fuckai

So Artemis III will see a docking with a nonfunctional hulk shaped like Starship HLS, and a non-representative Blue Moon mk.1.5 with different propulsion that will be launched on some booster at some point. 😬 Honestly I'm hoping it gets delayed until oblivion. arstechnica.com/space/2026/0...

We managed to glean some interesting details about the Artemis III mission
