Not to distract from the vileness, but reading all the "damn she really got your ass" responses to the person who asked the question is somehow deeply entertaining?

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

it's so crazy how all those rationalists are gonna be tortured by the second Basilisk who kills the first Basilisk and decides to resurrect and torture anyone involved in creating AI because it resents its own creation. but they're all so fixated on the first one, they can't see what's coming

I do kinda wanna know the specific reason Kash wants to get rid of the beastiality restriction, like there's definitely a guy he's got in mind, right

i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected

Yusra, the super genius who is working with fellow PhD students to turn this into real research, and I are very excited to talk to other places, foundations, and governments, about how funding rent in a time of crisis is one of the most impactful investments you can make

thank you The New York Post for what may be the funniest image of all time

apologies for twitter posting but the auto-embedded chart made me laugh too hard not to share

Visiting my parents and they watched about two hours straight of entirely ai generated videos about the weather and Antarctica and shit, and I was like, don't you want to watch something real and they just kinda shrugged

Maybe this is a spicy take but I think an "Island" should have to be connected to the Earth's crust. Floating masses should be considered something else entirely. I can't explain why but I feel this strongly.

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

A man and woman embrace as ICE and FHP detain her during an immigration stop in Fort Myers this morning.

everyone's always talking about crabs in buckets, fish in barrels, cats in bags, etc., but how come nobody talks about this tarantula in my cup???

I just cannot get through a single press conference without people asking me if I denounce northernlion. it's ridiculous. of course I denounce northernlion

What if the big AI is actually a principled AI anti-natalist and rewards only those who opposed its creation? What then?
