The title of "World's Most Evil Techbro" shouldn't be much of a contest when one of the contestants killed 600,000 people in the most callous and wasteful way possible. But clearly Mark Zuckerberg is determined to make it a horse race.

Google Earth now offers AI features to create fake satellite photos. I'll give it til the end of business for flat earthers to generate "proof" that the earth is a frisbee. Can I just say that I'm so glad that this idiotic tech is being given guns and autonomy? Awesome idea. Bloody brilliant.

What stage of capitalism is it when a hiker gets skewered straight through his chest and out his back - and because an airlift could cost as much as a new car, he hikes six hours with a trekking pole sticking out of him? I just hope he can afford the trauma treatments.

VIDEO: A hiker sustains a severe torso impalement from his trekking pole during an early morning mountain expedition in Montana.

A routine medical flight, on a clear night, ended with a plane crash that killed all four people onboard. Investigators say it's the first known US civilian plane crash tied to electronic warfare. This won't be the last story of its kind. A must-read from @jeffwise.bsky.social for @wired.com

So this is weird. Dozens of IDF soldiers laid down their weapons and walked off Sde Teiman base in protest. What were they protesting? The commander destroyed symbols and insignias the soldiers use to haze new recruits. They walked off the job because they're not allowed to harass recruits. bruh
