It is the plagiarism machine being used for plagiarism, but also it is random people using AI to take control back over devices, like defunct exercise bikes. Welcome to the wild west of AI: www.404media.co/reverse-engi...

Decompiled, cloned, and modified software is going viral and might slopify everything.

I'm really fucking devastated right now so instead here's the picture Patrick Stewart posted nearly 13 years ago to the day with the caption "happy halloween" of him dressed as a giant lobster in a bathtub.
The biggest lie of capitalism is that it is efficient and justly rewards people for their labor and efforts
The Southernerd@thesouthernerd.bsky.social · 2w agoGood point. Now do the lies of pro-capitalism.
This is the lie of anti-capitalism: We will all do whatever we find enriching and meaningful - and have the right to do it - because we are all talented and capable and so we'll write poetry in the morning, be astronauts in the afternoon, and then work on our graphic novels after dinner.
DON’T PANIC: the Galax-Tease is FRIDAY, Oct 23. Vivi Voom, Bambi Bitters, Miz Melancholy, Scandal from Bohemia, Dahlia Ste Cyr, Dorine DeLuscious, Naughty Nerdole & Vector Parallax + Worst Poetry In The Universe. Mountain Room, Seattle. Doors 7, show 8. pdpr.biz/54
Got four comm spaces open if anyone is interested. PM for deets!
Beyond matters of taste and decency and whether or not you even believe in the death penalty due to moral reasons, livestreaming the execution of Nidal Hasan is a dumb idea because you're giving him his moment of public martyrdom.
A great short piece from @sarahtaber.bsky.social. Her comments in the first third on how cynical political doomerism gives easy wins to bad people makes the video worth the watch, even if you have no particular interest in the FDA false positive
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 2mo agoI'm seeing a lot of "Oh nooooo Taylor Farms bribed Trump & now they'll be excused 🥺" Frankly? We need more of a spine than that, people. Let's talk about what really happened with Taylor Farms, the FDA false positive, & why we gotta stop handing wins to billionaires before we even start to fight.
It's never been easier to locate and borrow or buy out of print books. Never in the entire history of books. Yet 99.9999% of all book talk on social media is about books that are in print. Centuries of gold awaits. But hardly anyone takes the chance. I just don't get it.
Casting a spell to remind all my Seattle-based weirdos to get your tickets to Earlyween on September 26th! We'll have ghouls, goblins, thrills, chills, and all things Halloween! 🎃🦇🐈⬛👻🍬 events.ticketleap.com/tickets/unna...
I owe an apology to Briana Lane. The idea that the crew of the Enterprise could endanger the ship with a slightly misworded prompt to the holodeck computer seems more plausible every day
Elementary, Dear Data (episode)
The Enterprise is threatened when a character in Data and La Forge's holodeck simulation becomes sentient. The USS Enterprise-D is awaiting the arrival of the USS Victory, which they will rendezvous w...

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.
I’m a Texan Trans Kid Who Almost Died Because of Ken Paxton. The World Should Know What He’s Done.
Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

As someone who really wants AI companies to be limited in the damage they're doing to the world, it's incredibly frustrating when the most vocal contingent of AI skeptics keep repeating the idea that AI doesn't work at all. Maybe that was the case 3 years ago but not any longer.
In 2024, a redditor made a post titled "My bf asked for the banana & now I've got the ick." To some, it sounded like a joke or a minor relationship hiccup. Others saw it for what it was. Two years later, she returned and shared how serious it actually was. safeescape.org/it-wasnt-abo...
It wasn't about the banana - Operation Safe Escape
In 2024, a redditor made a post titled "My bf asked for the banana & now I've got the ick." At first, it almost sounded like a joke or a minor relationship hiccup. But two years later, she returned and shared how serious it actually was.

The next time you guys crap on the media, remember that almost everything you're learning about this war and this administration is coming from journalists who are routinely threatened by this White House and its minions. (And I don't mean me; I mean the DC reporters who get these stories.)

Childcare is intimate. Medical care is intimate. Sex work is different from other forms of service work because it is stigmatized, not because it is intimate.

@shaneharris.bsky.social’s reporting confirms what @michael-feinberg.bsky.social and I wrote last week: retaliating against analysts for speaking truth will lead the U.S. into foreseeable disasters no one was willing to forecast. Our Lawfare piece: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/grad...
