while everyone is susceptible to propaganda, to me this just shows how especially vulnerable to it the right is. the two most recent dips are centered around trump's political career

More frustratingly for me, AI is just a marketing term. The "good" AI that is used in medical applications are completely different algorithms from the LLM style ones used to generate images and chat The "AI" we have now isn't intelligence, it's just a way to sex up software to investors

In related news, delete telegram

After yet another crash by SpaceX, I will continue to say we should have nationalized it 10 years ago. Real space travel and exploration done by nations where there is no profit motive is good for advancing science. What amounts to essentially just space tourism is just wasteful.

its so telling that maine told trump to fuck off, the admin shook and blustered and threatened a bunch of shit, maine didn't budge and trump just capitulated

Jesus Christ.

Middling jouros suggesting BlueSky is dying like Twitter is deeply funny when the latter is a broken mess of bots & engagement bait, whereas the former is just a presently less popular app where those journos get called cunts by dolls more regularly aka the best feature of old Twitter.

Said this is the replies, but get ready to see more of this type of public shift. These guys are seeing how well right wingers are doing at creating a christo-fascist state and are looking to maintain their position of influence within it

this is what happens when you've taken waaaay too many benzos in your life and don't actually hold any positions other than "woke=bad", so you say the most pedantic shit you can think of in the hopes they'll just call you weird and leave so you can chalk yourself up another "win"

what's the quote again? something like "if one idiot says it's raining outside, and another says it's not, it's your job as a journalist to look out the fucking window." This type of behavior from news publications is a big part of why public faith in the old media giants has all but eroded

When I hear Jordan Peterson “argue” by saying shit like “what do you mean by belief,” I understand why they killed Socrates.

You know, there is a perfectly safe, legal way to do this we could be implementing. It's called taking the train

#F1 chat: are we finally ready to admit that #Monaco doesn't work in the modern sport? We had drivers "racing" 4 seconds a lap slower to make space for their teammate to make multiple pit stops and STILL no one can overtake Forcing 2 stops was a decent thing I'm glad they tried, but it didn't work

After hearing how Disney ruined Lilo and Stitch with their live action remake, I can't wait for when they get to redo their take on Robin Hood. By the end of the film he'll realize he was wrong the whole time and actually all those dirty peasants just need to work a little bit harder

listen pal i don’t like being forced to experience the laborious development of consciousness either but if you willingly surrender the process of thought to a machine you may as well be dead

Google really out here trying to destroy the internet with veo 3 huh? I remember thinking back around 2012-2013 how they were working on doing such cool stuff that was supposed to improve the lives of everyone in the world. 10 years later they've got me wishing the company would get dismantled

I managed one shot of the cotton candy cumulonimbus before darker, low-level clouds slid into the top of the frame. It was a gorgeous, surreal moment to see rain still falling over the east side of downtown, while fluffy pink clouds and blue sky belied the strength of the storm still in progress

In these dark times, it’s great to come together and find something we can all take joy in.
