Byrådet fra Høyre i Oslo klager fælt over at staten har tatt penger fra Oslo, men sannhenten er at rammetilskuddet (altså hvor mange penger kommunen får fra staten har økt kraftig. Her fra årsberetningen.

They are so unbelievably and terribly desperate. You don’t do things like this unless you are scraping the bottom of the barrel for revenue and adoption. This is the ultimate form of the tech industry: a despicable, wretched, entitled, destructive, abusive digital despot that wants to con your kids.

Rowling is a demon. She’s been completely consumed by hate. You cannot participate in her IP, even for free, without aiding her evil. Don’t do it.

OpenAI is featuring a "Looksmaxxing GPT" that provides "PSL ratings" for photos. It will rate people as "subhuman", and advise men to get invasive procedures like jaw surgery to "increase their sexual market value" among women, who it describes as "hypergamous by nature".

Accidentally turned on the Google search setting that uses a microplane to grate a delightful little heap of pecorino romano atop every search result.

HELP WE TRAINED OUR AUTOCORRECT ON STORIES ABOUT AI THREATENING PEOPLE AND NOW OUR AUTOCORRECT IS GENERATING OUTPUT BASED ON ITS INPUT PLEASE THINK WE'VE MADE SOMETHING THAT IS CAPABLE OF THOUGHT PLEASE WE'VE GOT NOTHING ON DECK FOR WHEN THE FUNDING STOPS

No one has ever LinkedIn this hard. I am CRINE.

Syns man bare kan si det høyt: den israelske regjeringa synes dette er bra, fordi de synes alle palestinske dødsfall er bra, uavhengig av alder. Det hadde vært veldig lett å unngå, men de vil at veldig mange palestinere skal dø.

if biden gets a single day of treatment in a hospital for his cancer, he'll have enjoyed what he denied thousands of Palestinians with cancer over the last year and a half, because he insidiously helped israel destroy every cancer treatment facility and virtually every healthcare facility in Gaza.

LUDDITE POPE

i've been dwelling on this headline, and i think my thought boils down to what @chanda.bsky.social has said already - that it's grotesquely antisemitic to casually imply that bombing children is intrinsically jewish, and that criticizing bombing children is an attack on judaism, rather than zionism.

Klarna admits AI isn’t as good as human workers, but this story suggests it’s “hiring” two types of human customer support now: freelancers or an “Uber type of setup.” It sounds like the AI strategy served its purpose after all: to turn employees into contractors.

one lesson the Trump folks have learned is that the media will almost never say someone is “corrupt” or did something “illegal” — they’ll only ever say that questions have been raised. which means that it makes more sense to do something blatantly illegal than to stop halfway

this is not true either legally or in a colloquial sense, but an NYT reporter says it like he's telling you the weather.

I love this whole thing and not just because it quotes me. extremely catty in a way I think is magnificent, especially this bit about how much the internet hates Sam Altman's coffee machine

Poisoning the air of a Black community for a fucking chatbot.

A sobering reminder: When 90% of students are cheating like this, in a way that is getting harder and harder to detect, the answer from the American college system is going to be to not care and just make up bullshit claims about this being the new way the economy/education works.

Helgas to lærer-saker gjør at jeg får snikende mistanke om at lærerne faktisk fulgte med i økonomiundervisninga og sier nei til gratisatbeid, mens ganske mange politikere holdt på med noe helt annet og nå er i sjokk og vantro over at bolig er dyrt

Edtech isn’t regulated. It isn’t safe. It is allowed to be sold into schools with no governance - regulators rely on consumers to complain. It is a mess of data mining, adtech, surveillance and unusable tech. Now with added “ai”

Boligene kostet 1/4 OG leia var 1/4, i tillegg til at egenkapitalkrav har blitt strengere og studielånet er dårligere. Så forutsetningene for å kunne spare er også mye dårligere. Problemet er mildt sagt ikke at fellesfaget økonomi forsvant ut av første klasse på vgs med kunnskapsløftet.

Guy in elevator: so what do you write? Me: Jokes. Guy: like ads? Me: yes, but ones that advertise how sad I am.

We’re at the arresting judges stage of fascism.

Chihiro from SPIRITED AWAY is the most millennial-coded character in fiction: - forced to beg in order to get worst job in the entire universe - incompetent at work due to being coddled by pig boomer parents - immediately starts dating her manager - quits after two days to move back home

I don't know man, I'm like 99.9% sure that all that time I spent learning nunchucks after I watched Bruce Lee in Game of Death is never going to come back to me in a useful way when I need it most.

“One thing you can never say is that you haven’t been told.”

No one ever says a word against CEOs being “ideologically homogenous,” or landlords, or stock market brokers, or cops. That argument only ever goes one way. It was never about fairness, or we’d have a million New York Times editorials asking who’s keeping the socialists out of the police force.

everyone signing on to be a part of the new HBO Max Harry Potter series is endorsing this and should be treated accordingly

The only reasonable applications for a machine that spits out unchecked text is mass disinformation. Any use of a generative LLM outside of this is just infecting other fields with a torrent of confident bullshit.

us government went from telling miners “learn to code” to telling coders “learn to mine” in less than ten years

Mimir Kristjansson er verdens minst imponerende menneske. Hver eneste dag står han opp og leverer oss aldri tidligere observerte nivåer av "dette er ikke imponerende". Utrolig? Ja. Imponerende? Dessverre nei.

Illegal ideas.

A slack labor market also leads to bosses mistreating workers, lack of raises, lack of career advancement etc. This is why bosses hated the Biden labor market and love Trump restoring post GFC levels of worker precarcity.

my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content

Synes uassistert frifødsel er helt sinnssykt, men er også fullstendig satt ut av all den bastante medisinske gaslightingen av kvinner og fødende denne debatten har ført med seg? Talløse fødende har opplevd former for obstetrisk vold og får i bunn og grunn beskjed om at de tar feil, så hold kjeft?

Elon Musk streaming POE 2 on his private plane while listening to “The Final Countdown” and everyone in the in-game chat is whispering him to kill himself. Now that’s cool.

watching ken chang toss out banger shitposts on linkedin evokes the exact same feeling as watching mike trout put up 10 WAR seasons on the Angels

Hater kvinner elsker hasj

They have been building this snitch culture - report on women getting an abortion, professors engaged in wrongthink, federal employees working on DEI - for years.

Black Mirror har alltid vært overtydelig, men med den siste sesongen synes jeg faktisk det begynner å bli litt mye.

60 year old men have been talking about about snow white and how it’s too woke for them for weeks now
