“Unlike KOSA and many of the other age verification laws that have spread across the country, the SCREEN Act does not have bipartisan support. It’s the latest in Lee’s repeated attempts to criminalize content he and his co-sponsors personally consider immoral.”

WRONG: "Anthropic's AI Models Hacked Organizations" (makes the AI sounds SMART and DANGEROUS and ROGUE) RIGHT: "Anthropic Failed To Secure AI For Tests" (correctly identifies the problem as Anthropic fucking up) Remember, journalists, don't do AI firms' PR for them!

“I’m also leaving you this massive shirt that was given to me and it’s so cute but it makes me look genuinely unhinged in a way that would require a lot of accoutrements for it to not look like I’m actually going something mentally. It made me look like I had escaped from somewhere.”

Seeing more and more friends from my past taking their psychosis to Facebook, and I can't help but wonder how much of it is AI informed. I don't mean "shit I disagree with." I mean very obvious, extremely evident psychosis.

i'm starting to think the whole "being an adult" thing is just a ruse, we're all secretly still 5, having a tantrum in our heads 24/7, but with better snacks
Alex Steed@alexsteed.bsky.social · 10mo agoSomewhere around one thousand percent of the problems I have as a 42-year-old adult human being is having to function alongside other human beings who are, for a myriad of reasons, "small humans having big emotions they cannot process because they have permissive emotionally absent parents."
