Share a fictional character you wouldn't f_ck with

This week brought some of the clearest statements we've heard from both Anthropic & OpenAI that some form of recursive self-improvement has been achieved, though it still sounds early RSI would cause a rapid gain in AI ability & the first firms to RSI may get an unsurmountable lead

just got arrested for going up to a police officer while wearing meta glasses and saying "computer, transfer $100,000 from this officer's bank account into my account" and then waving my hands like a magician

Agreed. This just completely cracked me up. bsky.app/profile/neoe...

When they introduced ship combat in AC3, the tutorial character says that as a novice navigator, you should start off in shallow waters. That just about gave me a stroke.

The Boy in the Dress Rehearsal?

So, there is a precedent for vetoing an MP's resignation Viscount Chelsea (Henry Cadogan) applied for the Chiltern Hundreds in 1842 The Chancellor (Goulburn) refused because, get this, Cadogan wanted to resign to obstruct an investigation for bribery h/t @fascinatorfun.bsky.social and @gazhay.com

It will be difficult for Farage to play the anti-establishment card against a bin.

Do men who fall down a lot naturally gravitate toward professional careers in soccer

Absolutely !! 10º or 20º would be prudent; 2º is indistinguishable from a small windshift.

I've been laughing at this for two minutes.😆

If the Nobel committee won’t give Trump the Peace Prize for ending the most number of wars… maybe they’ll give it to him for ending one war the most number of times.

An American leader who believes in science.

NEW: The Pope is doubling down. In Cameroon today: “Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” 💥 (🎥 Vatican News)

I’d like to live in a country where a grandma doesn’t have to work as a Door Dash driver to pay for her husband’s cancer treatment

OTD 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. He immediately pardoned 8,000 violent Nazis, many of whom were involved in the failed 1923 coup.

The fun thing writing about US elections is that it's just so comically polarised. Every race is like: Republican: made millions lobbying for oil companies, has been charged with fraud, tweets racism. Democrat: was a teacher before setting up a charity for needy children. Wants free healthcare.

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26 NO - 41% YES - 38% UNSURE - 21%
