bluesky is using AI, fourthwall is using AI, patreon is using AI, twitch is using AI, my tiny german internet host in the middle of nowhere is using AI - unfortunately everything tech related will be touched by this shit somehow. all you can do is disable it best you can and tell them it sucks

And look, I love cool tech stuff, but this isn’t cool tech stuff, it’s an obvious scam from a known scammer. Honest reporters should treat it as such.
You really believe that the same guy who can't successfully launch a rocket using 70 year old tech without it blowing up made a flying car? You are an idiot.
I was wondering who would fall for such an obvious carny scam but then I remembered there are a lot of morons who think AI is real too so. Like everything he does is one big TAA DAAAA followed by a bow and the tech press claps like a tour group wearing matching shirts at a Price Is Right taping

[…] Her findings were buttressed by another researcher, Abeba Birhane, who co-authored a paper called “On Hate Scaling Laws for Data-Swamps”

AI boosters: the AI is self aware Us: so if you believe that, you believe you’re an enslaver Them: yes :) Us:….that’s bad Them: yeah, it is Us: so stop? Them: no
most wild part of this is that they're a FAMILY of human cannonballs: father, mother, daughter

there's an insta account I follow that posts up clips and pics of Glasgow from the past, and it blows my mind that people see a clip from, say, the 90s, when Glasgow was in a complete state, desperate addicts everywhere etc, and post "ah yes back when it was nice and safe" and they mean ONE THING
The whole discourse about Glasgow city centre being unsafe in 2026 genuinely feels like a psyop at this point because it is so completely at odds with observable reality.
I love how Decadry decided that their futuristic computer font needed an Æ symbol. For all your retro-future medieval mainframe projects.
A solution in search of a problem is not progress. It's rent-seeking.
The other day I talked to an aunt who has truly seen everything, and she couldn’t overstate how much more racist England now feels. When a working-class black woman in her mid-seventies tells you it’s bad, then it’s really bad.
The Times, once again, calling for mass deportations of care workers and other legal migrant workers.
tech oligarchs are the most deliberately ignorant people alive

Adding alt text to this message to make it more accessible for people who use screen readers. It's an Instagram story from Danny Trejo's daughter, about his involvement in that Daily Wire-produced film. The short story is that according to him, he was duped into it and is now trapped under contract.
This is from Danny Trejo’s daughter. I couldn’t figure out how he got involved with it. Looks like Shapiro duped Trejo, which isn’t surprising. I won’t watch the movie

There's a guy in my replies who says he doens't read women because they write well about emotional conflicts and unrequited love and that's not what he wants. He reads sci fi he says. Can you imagine reading sci-fi and not reading Octavia Butler? Or Ursula K Le Guin? Or NK Jemisin?
For #DoctorWho folks, Elizabeth Sladen's daughter is posting on Instagram about some weird generative AI videos about Elisabeth Sladen and Jon Pertwee...
I wonder where the Harper's signatories are now. Are they still alive or no?
