I hope to live long enough to see the day that Canada gets a prime minister who runs 4 hr livestreams every night at 9 PM out of a Prime Minister’s Office decked out in LED lights

From that time forth he believed that the wise man is one who never sets himself apart from other living things.

AI's still here to stay though, right guys?

Feels a -little- excessive, but then again I'm not a PR guy so I dunno what 'normal' would look like.

As someone increasingly fascinating by the technical aspects of theatre, I'm impressed that, to a construction site in Scarborough, the Prime Minister has brought four EXM Mobile speakers & a stage monitor controlled by an M32R mixing console, plus a 43" Samsung display off of which to read remarks.

Musk finally landed something on the moon and nobody got to see it. It's like he was cursed by a Greek god for his hubris.

Just crossed the terminal: Microsoft disclosures suggest that OpenAI is about 70% of AI sales! If only someone had said something

Scammers took advantage of this for a while - and likely still do - by creating credential-harvesting lookalikes of popular sites (banks, social media, crypto exchanges, etc) then paying to advertise them on Google. Boom, their honeypot now looks like the top search result.

By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 9h ago

To make this even worse, Google's spent years making it more difficult to distinguish ads from "organic" search results, changing the font and size of the "ad" warning to make it harder to spot, and making the font and color of the ad itself closer to the color of the search results below it. 28/

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · yesterday

Analysts estimate that 70%+ of Microsoft, Google and Amazon's present and future AI revenues are from Anthropic and OpenAI's compute spend and model sales. Outside of two unsustainable AI labs, demand barely exists, and they've massively overbuilt capacity. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-deman...

This is very good advice from Dr Marino. And if you want to read other papers giving evidence pointing to zoonotic origin, do also read these: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... The evidence gets stronger over time.

Yeah but that's not how banks or venture capital firms do it, so...

So like do they do mass arrests whenever a team wins the World Series or something, categorizing it as a Mass Orgy Event?

Damn one senator has the power to enact Sharia Law across the entirety of America? Why aren't Democrats using that kind of power to fix all the problems, then?

THIS IS WHY!!!! WE CALL!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE 🩷 KOSA did pass the house but remember the senate has a conflicting version. Keep calling, it matters!

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

I’m just saying, Angela Lansbury would have found out Walter White in the first season. Walter White wouldn’t have lasted an entire Colombo episode.

the @chicagoreader.com's august print issue is out this week and it's all about surveillance 📹 i often write about ai and drones and alprs. but the stories in this issue focus on the quieter, more subversive ways people in power have built a society for fascism to thrive. more in my staff note:

you would be ASTONISHED at how far one can get with a 'nah fuck you' attitude and a willingness to Cause Problems On Purpose. Even many narcs won't actually call the filth while you're making eye contact with them and calling them out. weaponize shame for YOUR benefit this time

The EHRC guidance slipped its way into law by default overnight. Do not self-police and do not let toilet weirdos and changing room weirdos dictate how you go about your life.

post apocalypse fallout style setting where instead of culture coming to a screeching halt in the 1950s, it was the 1990s instead and people are wearing those huge shouldered jackets and all the billboard ads are like "this ain't your MAMA's Space Gruel" *picture of an eye being electrocuted*
