Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.
This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all
Meg Elison@megelison.bsky.social · 8mo agoRemember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.
Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.
ali alkhatib@ali-alkhatib.com · 8mo agoh/t @robertfreundlaw.bsky.social holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water. What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains. And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.
AI’s water problem is worse than we thought

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.
The funniest thing about how absolute dogshit journalists are at their job, is that when you see a chatbot regurgitate strange sounding phrases the *only way it could do so* is by having stolen them from somewhere. Searching for those weird phrases, yields the source the chatbot stole.
Victor Shammas@victorshammas.com · 12mo agoGoogle Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well: ‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’
Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States. Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵
I’m so tickled by this story. We confirmed this game has been hanging in the store at $12 since MAY, and that it came from a random Famicom lot from Japan, meaning we paid no more than $3-4 for it. Happy this is going to a good home! Proof that sometimes you can still get one over on the pros!
Brenden@bro3256.com · 11mo agoIt happened, I am now the proud owner of the RAREST FAMICOM CARTRIDGE* (that was commercially released in Japan) I cannot put into words how happy I am, especially with the added bonus of that price tag no less!
It's so crazy how the comics, animation, and video games industries are wildly popular billion dollar profit type shit and yet there is no money and no jobs for the people who make that possible

The demo for Kaizen: A Factory Story is now live on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2275490 This is the first demo that I have made for one of our games since... 2011? I've been operating under the assumption that Bulletstorm killed the PC game demo, but apparently that's not true anymore.
