Locust Language Models are a blight uponj every aspect of our lives. Helath, ecology, economy, social stability and progress, the Internet, trustworthy information in general, electronics availability. Whatever you as a person care about, Locust Language Models are making it worse.

Look all I know is that they're driving environmental harm and I don't really care how much help anyone thinks they are at coding, data centers are sucking up water and power at a rate that is harming actual human beings and the world around us and therefore LLMs can get fucked.

Don't let them try and make smoking cool again. Smoking is disgusting. Nicotine is an insidious drug. Secondhand smoke kills. Don't undo decades of genuinely good progress. We don't have a lot of that. Let's not bring smoking back.

People stopped smoking. I really think anyone born after 2000 doesn't have the capacity to imagine just how bad it was.

Something I've noticed is that it seems like there's been a lot more diarrhea going on ever since we put a Greater Avatar of Diarrhea in charge of federal health services

The thing is, antimatter is like saffron, you don't need a lot. Just one positron gives your steak an amazing kick. Also, you might want to try roasted velocipastor. It does not mesh well with positrons though, so don't try mixing them.

Three things I would NEVER eat as a health influencer: - Poison. You would not believe what awful things science has to say about it. Google it if you don't believe me. - Antimatter. More of a question of price, really. - Grass-fed T-Rex. Because all dinosaurs were atheist.

Juro que tem dias que eu acordo pensando nisso aqui:

Be careful that emails saying they're from @frame.work are legit. I got an email that claimed to be from Framework support, but when I expanded the email header, I saw it was actually from "support@framework.mail.kustomerapp.com" If it was legit, the last part of the email would be "frame.work"

Fuckin' hell! They're the absolely LEAST prepared for that!

This is the highest-resolution view of the surface of the Sun. Ever. Taken by the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, features as small as 19 km across can be resolved. The wispy things are magnetic field boundaries formed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. The island of Ireland for scale.

Creating, possessing and distributing child sex abuse materials are all crimes. Prosecute Zuck and his collaborators. Dissolve Meta. Salt the earth where it all once stood.

WIRED@wired.com · 10h ago

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

Facebook does this type of shit and then campaigns in favor of age verification laws BECAUSE THEY KNOW AV LAWS DON’T WORK and because mandatory ID verification furthers the surveillance state they’re in favor of.

Public Citizen@publiccitizen.bsky.social · 5h ago

Meta ran & hosted dozens of paid ads that featured AI-generated child sexual abuse material. This is absolutely repulsive. Big Tech is willing to do anything that helps their profits - even if it threatens kids' safety & wellbeing. The public should be outraged.

Wait, hold up, One Night Only, the rom-com set in a dystopian society where pre-martial sex is outlawed 364 days a year, ends with a character saying “Maybe the fascists were right about this”? Christ on a bike. Well, that killed any interest stone dead.

i should add- breaking the collarbone of a baby who is the granddaughter of a REPUBLICAN US SENATOR is not a bridge too far for republicans. max miller is the villain in this story but bernie moreno looks like a feckless loser, allowing his party to carry on this way. what a pathetic bunch.

Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.

In your article, you mentioned a graphic "Only You Can Prevent Data Centers"- that you thought was made by AI. It wasn't, it was made by me, an artist that is very much against AI. In fact, I turned it into a shirt and raised money for a local arts education nonprofit in Chicago.

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Is there a word with a wider range of pronunciations than lieutenant? Lyootenon, lootenant and leftenant? Admittedly, the British one is clearly wrong.

It would be lovely if we could see through the pivot from far-right antisemite to islamophobic Israel enthusiast this time. Just once, maybe?
