Sigh. Here are the 6 speeches from govt MPs (other than Meagher's for minister responsible) on 2nd reading of Climate Change Tort Liab bill, outlawing tort claims and nixing Smith's current claim in public negligence – a bill widely condemned as constitutionally improper. youtu.be/ZMy5ixJ3IZM?...

At some point, AI boosters are going to have to engage with the fact that the people who have most fully and prominently bought into this product are also the stupidest, most evil people on the planet.

The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

Hell yeah.

#nzpol In light of the -10⁰C predicted for tomorrow, can the Aotearoa NZ Govt press pool ask the PM and his many ministers what is being done for the thousands of homeless around the motū who are now forced to sleep rough, in bushejs, under bridges, or in garages, or in their cars. #MontageTime

This week we're talking about David Chalmers and mind uploading, and little do our students know, I'm about to hit them with the hardest sequence of clip art slides they've ever seen:

cop: did he send any texts around the time of the crash? cop 2: he sent a post that reads "padding my three track album with 26 skits and interludes" cop: not bad but it ain't going viral cop 2: posting isn't just about going viral cop: (sighs) not this shit again

It's genuinely a massive problem that the median voter both 1) believes "criminal illegal immigrants" to be an astronomically more serious threat than they actually are, and 2) believes that the legal immigration process is substantially easier than it actually is.

I understand your position, but those are different situations. People straight up both envision a system much milder than exists and cannot imagine a modern world without that imaginary system. By default they have no real grasp of reality on the matter, but are usu. sympathetic to individuals.

"But my Wyvern development has been burning the equivalent of $87k/month of API token burn, or about 69 billion tokens in July... in reality I'm only spending about $2800/month out of pocket." What's Wyvern, you ask? See image #2. $87k/month.

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

I want to know what Victor Penny was actually doing for the NZ government on an island in Wellington harbour during WWII. He almost certainly didn't have a working death ray (or rather no one believed he did) so why was he secluded as if he did?

Death Ray: the story of Victor Penny episode of Black Sheep

In 1935, a series of extraordinary newspaper articles claimed a backyard inventor called Victor Penny was trying to build a Death Ray for the New Zealand government. The claims seem absurd... So why w...

What's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story

The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

A middle-aged man on the bus' phone rang and it was the Indiana Jones theme. And you know what? Hell yeah.
