Butt teeth! Butt teeth! Butt teeth!

"get smarter" "trust what it tells us" IT PREDICTS THE NEXT TOKEN USING MATH. It does not comprehend. It does not have any intention behind the things it says. You wouldn't "trust" the word of 10,000 monkeys with a typewriter or a scrabble bag.
“My main worry is that the idea is the A.I. can make a smarter A.I. in some way that we’re not going to understand. .. So we’re ending up in a world where .. we’re just going to have to trust what it tells us about how it works or whether it’s aligned.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/o...
I'm so glad these cursed dating profiles are making it onto the web
She's a 10, but she always shows up late, and her paleo diet is very, very serious business. Do you date her? Today I'm giving you a dating profile of a body part and you decide if you are swiping right. Image courtesy of @stealingfromwizards.com youtube.com/shorts/9ySOd...

Absolutely anecdata and could just be because I'm a weird polar bear lizard person but signing up for a membership to a place where I can alternate between a sauna and a tub of freezing water has been genuinely miraculous for my mental health.
While scientists have a decent understanding of how sauna and other forms of heat exposure exercises our cardiovascular system, they know relatively little about its impact on mental health. n.pr/4rMTKwV
Ok but this is just an actual poem in Minecraft with parts changed mad libs style to be about government forms. It seems wild and original but it isn't. It is just an LLM generating content from context and training data. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_Poe...

DO NOT ASK THE AMERICA.GOV AI TO PLAY MINECRAFT
I always think "I'll respond to that when my nervous system calms down" but then it never calms down and now I'm a month late RSVPing to your wedding, my bad
Sorry, I saw your message, but I also saw nineteen other phone alerts that same minute. My brain evolved to evade predators. I will not improve.
The AI pros are out there non consensually living out monty python sketches. (in addition to even grosser stuff)
Aella reportedly had a party that offered demos of a “gaslighting kink,” which strikes me as quite problematic:
"it's just an optional after hours event that just happens to have all of your colleagues in positions of power"
Great thread on something I have been increasingly concerned about with those in power in AI right now.
Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below. Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.
I've been side eyeing this for weeks. The fliers are very graphic design. I believe the venue canceled the fun local queer events normally scheduled in favor of 🤑 💸 💰 💲 💲
There’s a “pro-data center party” taking place in D.C. right now, with a generative AI photo booth, AI themed cocktails
In my day using a harness was hot and kinky
Ai ruins everything In my day getting sloppy meant something magical.
There was a sex cult that formed in one long broken bugged out endless thread and at one point AOC popped in to say hi and people tried to get her to post nudes.
Dear Bluesky Elders, Tell us stories of the days when Bluesky was fun.
Otto would have fit in so well with the AI safety sex cult tbh
when I hear the terms "dark enlightenment" or "network state" I picture…
DoorDash is also fucking up the fight for DC statehood
DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.
I just feel like if you design a piece of technology and you're like "wow! This technology doesn't do what we want a lot of the time and we aren't really sure how it works!" that isn't a brag that's just a sign you're really bad at your job
It's wild that tech companies have created a digital Amelia Bedelia and have convinced every company to pay insane amounts of money to employ the Bad at Following Directions Machine, while simultaneously spreading the narrative that it'll probably kill us because it's so bad at following directions.
Also why do we all assume a planet is better than other celestial body types. Maybe Pluto doesn't need to be a planet to be worthy of love. I bet dwarf planets have cool special abilities like dark vision or enhanced resilliance.
I have decided that if I will be hated, it will be for a GOOD reason, dammit! *clears throat* I don’t care that Pluto isn’t a planet. It was always Charon erasure anyway.
I took a walk and saw a cat sitting in a stroller wearing a bow tie. A few minutes later I saw two dogs, one wearing a formal shirt with attached bow tie, and another swaddled like a baby, strapped to their owner. I don't know what is happening but I love it.
THIS. AI isn't "going rogue" any more than those exploding Samsung galaxy phones from 2016 went rogue. Human engineers poorly deployed a technology and there were negative consequences. The responsibility falls entirely on humans.
over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say
Im not worried about being turned into paperclips or whatever your AI Sci Fi apocalypse of choice is. I am worried about the fact that theres basically no regulation in the US for how AI and adjacent tech is built, deployed, & used, and the tech is moving faster than the red tape can catch up with.
Flock is very serious surveillance technology that cops take very seriously: 404media.co/cops-search-...
(opens laptop to begin studying for expensive AI governance cert) Training: "Let's talk about the three categories of ai: artificial narrow intelligence, artificial general intelligence, and artificial super intelligence! 😁" (closes laptop) (sighs) (walks into the sea never to return again)
A very important piece and also, cod-bless @toddwoody.bsky.social for using "avocado-sized nuggets" instead of yet another potato comparison.
New: Copperhead Resources was just another money-losing Canadian gold prospector last year when Trump ordered NOAA to issue deep-sea mining licenses to unleash “the next gold rush.” Now it's seabed miner, one of mostly foreign firms aiming to cash in. Free link. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
