they can't act on their own, they cannot go rogue. they are computer programs that do what they are programmed to do. they're as responsible for their actions as a grenade is for exploding after somebody pulls the pin

(NYT) - Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

No matter how much you try to couch your transphobia in "I just want what's best for you," you won't stop me wanting what's breast for me.

hey if you're on this app to escape the hellscape of the former bird app it seems counterintuitive to constantly repost or post in detail about awful stuff from there to over here Now we just have two doomscroll apps, just that this one is seeing the doom through a very thin pane of glass

Fun thing I learned in therapy: Turns out it's still emotional dysregulation if you keep it to yourself

I actually think that “disabled people exist” is a useful reminder. Because honestly a lot of you forget.

With 70 votes for and 92 against - the SocDems Right to Housing Bill was defeated in the Dáil tonight. Another depressing Dáil vote. And another reminder why we need a different kind of government that puts people first. Well done to @roryhearne.bsky.social for his work on this important bill.

🛌 Over 17,000 people are homeless. 📚 Over 400,000 children are being taught in overcrowded classrooms. 👩🏻‍⚕️ Over 1,000,000 people are on hospital waiting lists. Nothing in today’s budget will deliver the transformative change we need to resolve these issues. #TaxTheRich #HouseTheHomeless

I'm really struggling here. Between glasses last month and insurance this month I am really really really really stressed. I wrote an article last month and I'm working on a new one for before insurance comes but I need about $900, which is about 45 people tipping $20 to paypal.me/stompsite

I'm really stressed about insurance this month. I write articles as a way to earn enough to cover the bills, but last months article didn't make as much as I needed it to cause I published it mid month. docseuss.medium.com/i-completed-... If you like it, please share and tip, I need about $1200

If I want one thing from my intermittent fame, it is to be as fondly remembered as Peter Lorre was; a staunchly pro-union actor who animators kept putting in cartoons as way of middle finger to their bosses. I can think of no greater honour.

Holy shit.

Pinball machines used to be outlawed because they looked too much like gambling.

Illinois is among several states pushing to regulate the booming industry, which strongly resembles traditional gambling.

if you have ever peered with curiosity at my work then for BANNED BOOK WEEK it is the perfect time to try some tingleverse horror or erotica. i am in strange position where my books have not been banned, but the texas library association banned me AS A PERSON so i guess the catalog is fair game

Hey you know how when Tucker Carlson or Nick Fuentes toss out some nominally left wing position, and everyone immediately recognizes it as an attempt to rehabilitate their image and infiltrate new audiences? Maybe stop praising the Pope just because he hates AI, like everyone else does.

Just let me turn off ads entirely, I'd rather just get rid of them, I've already got ads set to the minimum as is.

CEO Dan Clancy says Twitch now uses AI to identify streamers that may not match a brand, since it now transcribes all streams for brand safety. It won't show ads on channels or content the AI believes don't match what the advertiser is trying to achieve.

If Anthropic would like to give me $12.6 billion in order to receive $4.6 billion back, I'd like to make it known that I have a gap in my schedule that could work well for both of us.

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · 2w ago

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Would the international community be so eager in their support for Ireland, as some avatar of our global conscience, if we wore black armbands while we traded billions in service with Israel and illegally transported US weapons to them through Shannon airport?

There were no handshakes between Ireland and Israel players before their contentious Nations League match, with the Irish team wearing black armbands for its 3-0 win.

my birthday is on the 2nd but I will be on a plane so I'm doing my birthday post early. honestly the best present ever would be to just share hello sunshine with somebody in your life, whether gifting them a copy, recommending it, leaving a review, telling a local bookseller about it, etc haha

it was actually because you made a competitive multiplayer-only game but expected it to make destiny numbers, when destiny is largely a pve game, and the market for pve is much much higher than pvp

"appeared to show" I miss the time when journalists could just say what they saw with their own fucking eyes.

Please celebrate my birthday with me by reading my article and sharing it! I'm trying to pay down medical debt and the tips really help, so the more people who see it, the better!!

doctober@docseuss.bsky.social · 3w ago

My birthday is Weds. I'll be celebrating it entirely alone cause I'm disabled. This is also the anniversary of some pretty significant trauma in my life, so I ain't doing too good. If you would be so kind as to share my article, and, if possible, tip to help me with medical debt, I'd be grateful.
