You know what worries me when @anthropic.com and other companies start making these ridiculous and unfounded allusions to consciousness? That people will believe them. And then we will never get better AI. Because it'll be a "sapience", though it won't be in any way shape or form.

The EU should probably take a beat and realize they haven't beaten Russia yet. And sports ain't gonna make Russia back off. So maybe stop planning for how you're gonna be nice once you beat the Russians.

The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com

The EU is working on how to stop Russia from laundering its reputation through international sporting events, but as it talks, Moscow creates new facts on the ground. It remains unknown when the measures will be announced. In the meantime, Russia's lobbying to return to sports continues unabated.

I'm honestly begging him not to do this.

I won't say there isn't the potential for it to be brilliant. He has that in him, obviously. But I have a sinking feeling it's either gonna be like satisfying but remind us he's not at his peak (painful) or it'll just be hubris.

Oof. Fam. Uh... Got a thing. Won't be able to make it.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jay-Z will headline the Super Bowl halftime show at SoFi Stadium in Southern California.

Quit fucking promising me jobs that don't exist, SE. (I'm not a psychopath, for the record, just One with the Tismo and I beat up language models as a specialty)

SE Gyges@segyges.bsky.social

so we should make a combined screening program for autism, psychopathy and English comprehension and if you score above a certain level we hire you to interview financially important people

Fuck all the way off with this discount fascist apologia. The road to American fascism was paved by dumb shit like this neonate attempt at a think piece.

Weird that they have to flex on this. Like, why would it be? Ever? It's a nature documentary. You document.

Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co

'Blue Planet III' will deliberately include murkier and less polished underwater footage to assure viewers it's real and not AI-generated 🌊 The David Attenborough-narrated series won't feature a single AI-generated frame (via guardian)

It's almost like mergers like this only exist to fuck individuals over to benefit entities on paper.

And just like that... I'm no longer an Audi fan in F1.

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

huffpost.comViral 3-Year-Old Soccer Star ‘Traumatized’ After Police Were Called In The Middle Of The Game“They called the police on a 3-year-old because he’s too good,” Nevada’s father, Don, can be heard saying in the video.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

*glances at his recent research findings* Huh. These are... Slightly relevant to this. That's concerning.

One thing about my line of work. You do a lot of waiting. Waiting for attacks to run. Waiting for replies from multibillion dollar companies asking them to explain some of your very concerning findings.

Victory. We push fascism into the sea and we don't stop.

The MAGA influencers weren't enough to save Putin's favorite candidate in the Serbian elections. Vucic has just conceded.

Hahahahahahaha. This guy has become the poster boy for Gen X "Christianity." Ohhh fuck. That is just funny. And sad. But mostly funny because I never found his band *that* great. Mostly was into Tool, Nirvana, NIN, NOFX, etc.

The Smashing Pumpkins founder "didn’t feel" Marilyn Manson was guilty of the multiple sexual assault allegations against him. tinyurl.com/52m7km38

Ultimately, if you only have time to know one thing about all of this, just know that not a single solitary tech oligarch, tech company, or tech-backed politician has a single solitary serious commitment to the existence of Black political power or economic security in their plans for the future.

Lol. Jensen Huang about to pick up the phone and call Xi.

Ironically, OpenAI doesn't ban me despite all I do with their machine is failure mode research, exploit research, etc.

Good dadding there. Love to see it!

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Only one real option here. Seven Samurai. I'm kidding. But my real pick: Unforgiven. Hands down the best western. Also a great line: "Deserve's got nothing to do with it."
