My life is nothing I thought it should be and everything I was worried it would become because for 50 seconds, I thought there was monsters on the world.

weird thing i have tried to describe before where LLM mistakes are simply inhuman. like they are entire types of mistakes that were unfathomable previously, literally could not have been made because the specific mix of competence and stupidity necessary was impossible

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

If it's the sound political strategy you claim to believe it is, what are you worried about, you'll more than make those lost votes up in disgusting centrists, right? Right? But you know deep down it doesn't work like that

Re: YCSE/Holmes: In retrospect it is darkly funny that the same people who watch TikToks all day and parrot whatever bullshit people confidently state directly into the camera would take up the Holmes innocence crusade because she looked directly into the camera and stated a bunch of bullshit

This shit just writes itself at this point. Just the name "Epic AI MegaJam" is a joke that best describes what is going on with these companies.

it's not the only problem in the world but it seems very clear to me that better ADHD support leads to better real-world outcomes, and that the delta between outcomes for the well-supported and unsupported is frequently enormous

Ina Hallström@killedbyproxy.bsky.social

Systematic review relevant to the discourse on diagnoses and meds. "ADHD was associated with increased all-cause mortality, suicide mortality, unintentional or intentional injury mortality, and natural-cause mortality, whereas ADHD medication use was associated with reduced all-cause mortality."

I think there is a mass delusion going around huge swathes of the C-suite people in large companies right now. They are SO detached from reality. Let's not forget, GM were convinced by a big consultancy that they'd make $30b from connected services by 2030. How's that going? Just 3 years to go..

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

Rest in peace computers you had a good run but were eventually defeated by a single digit number and a bunch of guys doing stock scams.

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

failure to learn this lesson does not make you a bold, optimistic innovator, it makes you a fucking idiot

We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

in bloodstained a villager solemnly asks you to retrieve mementos she can bury with her neighbors slain by demons. one such memento is a really good sword dropped by a specific enemy, and in exchange she gives you a pair of clown shoes that squeaks with every step. this is the essence of video games

this is also why you can’t trust what you see on any platform as representative of broader thought or consensus. you are being shown what they want you to see, and now more than ever, that conforms to exactly one worldview

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

The replies demonstrate that this is a text-based platform full of illiterate people.

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

What a heartless, cruel thing for an elected representative to say.
