I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.
“You don’t have to refrigerate that” Ok maybe not but the refrigerator is where the food lives, he is happier with his friends in there

Everyone stop what you're doing and look at this caterpillar's feets.
I’m not sure whether this is just a psychological difference or AI bros fundamentally don’t understand the nature of an artistic experience, but: I don’t want a personalised film/book/podcast. I want to see/read/hear the same one as everyone else, so I can read reviews or discuss it with my friends
ANTHROPIC: Our son loves humanity and for the low price of trillions and trillions of dollars will usher in an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity! OPENAI: Our horrible oafish son is hacking web sites without our permission. ANTHROPIC: (eyes narrowing) Our son is also evil
Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.
The Bird of Washington, plate 11 from John James Audubon's "The Birds of America." The most (in)famous "mystery bird" in the volume. In a tome with hundreds of meticulously detailed and recorded birds, it's strongly suspected John just... made this one the fuck up. But WHY. WHY WOULD HE DO THAT.
G. Willow Wilson@gwillow.me · 6d agoWhat's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story
Once again: AI is the reverse printing press that makes asynchronous communication impossible
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d agoNew from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
We're in the era of incompetence & cybercrimes headlined as "unprecedented model capabilities gone rogue." So OpenAI & Anthropic are trying to one up each other with such incompetence because the "press release as a service" performing media & clueless politicians parrot pre IPO CEO talking points.

showing the time to the nearest 100ms does make the countdown feel faster but i can’t help but feel there might be better ways to get people to download your app. (not to mention this was an affiliate link! it’s like they want people to bounce)
An activist was detained at the border, so he wiped his phone before they could copy it. Now he’s being charged with “destroying evidence”—and nothing else. Absolutely Orwellian. gizmodo.com/a-feature-th...

It would help a lot if a lot of journalists and pundits weren't using Twitter as their assignment editor, several years into its transition into Stormfront.
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 2w agoIt is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
Remembering when I made lenticular prints of aerial imagery of data center sites in 2016
USB-C for the €50 note, a cookie banner for the €20 and a removable battery for the €10 ?
i’ve figured out what i find so grating about reading claude’s prose output: its tendency to assign names to absolutely everything, including where human writers don’t and rely on context or “you know what i mean”. now, i get why it does this, and it is useful when talking back to it, but still… ick

![According to Eustathius, Tiresias was originally a woman who promised Apollo her favours in exchange for musical lessons, only to reject him afterwards. She was turned by Apollo into a man, then again a woman under unclear circumstances, then a man by the offended Hera, then into a woman by Zeus.
