Happening now at Black Hat: OpenAI employees are discussing how the Hugging Face hack happened. They're showing excerpts from messages that their AI agents sent each other on an impromptu message board that the agents created to discuss evaluation task solving.
nothing better than a tourist town that resents the tourists. thank you for coming to my ten-seat microbrewery and vintage ice cream shoppe. you son of a bitch
Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:
we should hear MAHA out about this they might be onto something
this man should get combat pay bc he was FIGHTING here
They’re calling it the most theater kid story of all time
in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...
Stop saying "log into a portal." Sounds way too cool for what's happening.
The older I get the more I understand why cats just walk away mid conversation.
It should go without saying, but just in case: no legitimate parenting plan would prohibit a parent from taking an injured child to the emergency room. He’s lying.
Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
when people say "do your own research" they generally mean "do not trust anyone with any relevant training or experience"
I'm a full Professor of Immunology and fully vaccinated. I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.
Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude
Insane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
So under this Supreme Court's treatment of U.S. law and presidential power, Joe Biden couldn't forgove my student loans, but perhaps Donald Trump can forgive his own tax debt. Wild.
FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
People aren't giving this enough attention. Why are more people having their minds blown by this?
just occurred to me that some of you might not know about face agates
As I've said before: What high-paying long-term jobs do they pretend exist here? A data center isn't a place where execs come and do Big Deals. Go to the server room at your workplace; are there lots of rich people in there spending money?
Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
Fox News’s poll (which, unlike its sponsor, is reliable and fair) finds that a fifth of non-MAGA Republicans in Texas plan to vote for Talarico over Paxton. www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...
The first celebrity chef they’re having on is some guy whose last name is… Gruel. GRUEL. The simulation is really glitching hard now, holy shit.

I've been seeing a lot of people responding to this with "there ought to be a law," but importantly, we haven't needed a law for this sort of thing because no prior president wanted to be known as a leader who would literally kill people in their hour of need for not voting for him
This is honestly one of the most shocking images coming out of this administration and that’s saying something
there is no good faith anti-trans sports lobby and never has been it’s been a cynical wedge issue from day one for a group of people looking to replace gay marriage as a cultural weapon none of them have ever cared about women, women’s sports, or even sports
enough of this shit
for any actual public servant, cabinet secretary is the apex of their entire career, you literally cannot go any higher, and all of these people treat it like it’s their side hustle to get the job they *really* want, which is “influencer”
it’s legitimately fucking offensive to me as a taxpayer that this entire administration is run by people whose only goal in life is to be on television

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice
enough of this shit
one of my favorite things in the world is when someone hates a generally mundane thing with the sort of white-hot wrath you normally reserve for someone who has murdered your whole family
Incredible stuff from Avalon Nursery.
The Trump regime just banned the import of robot vacuums.
The US government just banned Roombas
It’s not just bots with legs.
