Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Kind of wild that the New York Times has more sympathy for an influencer who posted child porn than it does for trans children who want to be left alone.

I think what annoys me about any discourse concerning whether or not AI is or can ever be sentient is the presumption that sentience is a precondition for anything it does to be interesting or thought-provoking. Sentience as I see it, is incidental to how it currently operates.

FINALLY a trailer. Not gonna lie, I'm into it.

FF8 is on sale in the PlayStation store and I'm thinking about buying it. I never beat it, couldn't get past the penultimate boss, and I hated the *twist* so much that I just gave up. But the world itself has always been so alluring to me and I've always wanted to give it another chance

“I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else. I think that, in the way that we have in this country, equality should be enshrined in every country in the world. That's my belief.” - Zohran Mamdani

I think the problem here is an expectation to reproduce (that is, respond directly to what is being asked to be read) rather than to *produce* reactively to what it is being shown. It's not lying, it's just generating what is not there as a reaction to what is there.

I'm not even sure what it means to make someone's son birthday memes

If Katie Miller went to work for Musk and Stephen is with Trump how is this gonna shake out lol

High agency males who soiled themselves

guys...GUYS

Great timeline sync up

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Truly one of the greatest days online Ever

We're witnessing the biggest, potentially most pivotal, posting crashout in US history.

Lmao this rules

Truly a landmark day on the internet

We cannot build bananas in America

I can't get over it. The whole point of politics is about earning people's votes not expecting them. These people are locked in a high school popularity contest where they see anyone left of them as the ones they'd stuff in lockers

These people are never gonna win an election again and if they do it will be totally in spite of themselves

These people are such elitist pieces of shit I swear to god

Unfortunately on here it’s a badge of honor to be proudly incurious about this stuff. It’s a real shame. If the water stuff was actually true, I would way *less* worried about AI’s social effects: it would cost more, be more expensive, and likely be more thoughtfully used.

Can we please ban both using AI in the arts and talking about using AI in the arts and get back to what really matters, talking about mathematical concepts from AI as potentially illuminating some lesser-known aspects of Kantian aesthetics

Holy crap I had no idea, that's amazing

Stop trying to stop AI from hallucinating!!

WE GOT THE JUICE
