This is the highest-resolution view of the surface of the Sun. Ever. Taken by the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, features as small as 19 km across can be resolved. The wispy things are magnetic field boundaries formed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. The island of Ireland for scale.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE WE BROUGHT BLACK LUNG BACK

There’s really no need for this beyond disinformation. “Oh, I was just playing with it!” No, you were helping Google collect targeting data for things you really don’t care about. This litters reality with AI BS that makes it hard for most people to separate fact from fiction. This *will* be used.

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

This is the world’s most poorly laid out bingo card, it’s just a list, but… … bingo.

Incredible. Debasing yourself to him, to get double tapped on your way out.

Learning that Duck Duck Go let's you block specific sites from search results is a game changer for when you are looking for things and you don't want the first 10 results to be Amazon.

there is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11

I am convinced that Jack Black is just the love child of Josh Ruben and Brian Blessed.

Definitely applies to art as well as science.

Hard to overstate how angry Canadians are at Trump over these ridiculous tariffs. The United States has emitted the most carbon pollution in world history. It has caused these climate-driven wildfires. Oh and American air pollution routinely drifts into Canada. What utter bullshit.

If the Right is trying to make it impossible to tell AI from reality, this is a hell of a start.

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

The answer is “no”. A better question is “why isn’t AI altruistic?” If Techbros are claiming AI can save humanity, the answer should be “it will be as of yesterday”.

Could AI be conscious?

This makes 100% sense.

they should make cheeses for when you are sad, cheeses for when you feel like doing 147 math problems in a row, cheeses for when you need a nap, and cheeses for when you’re feeling extra horny

Happy #BelindaBlinkedDay to all those who celebrate, and happy birthday @flintstonerocky.bsky.social!

Awesome weekend of galavanting around Eastern Ontario with a lot of cool peepz - game devs, lawyers, architects, teachers, coders, communications specialists, doctors… - all of them wonderful folks that made my life a little brighter when I worked for a newspaper in a different life. Huzzah!
