I think every adult who cooks should own a Chinese Chef's Knife and so I spent an entire blog talking about it for @aftermath.site. aftermath.site/chinese-clea...

what's wrong babe? you've barely touched your rarohire rochi terochichimomo

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

The real reason people say Musk is stupid is that every time he talks about any area that a particular person knows about, he reveals that he doesn’t understand the most basic things about it. Apparently this has never come up for Noah Smith.

Deutsche gehen heute in alte, verfallene, kaputtgesparte Schulen und Turnhallen und wählen CDU, keine Pointe

German mutuals, please go vote!!!

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years

This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast. There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

if you were accidentally fired while transporting a nuclear warhead and currently need a place to stay with said warhead please know that i have a sizable backyard and an abiding desire to be a nuclear power

extremely important PSA

Not the first or the last to point this out but making the end of a Phillip K Dick novel government policy is way too on the nose.

Twitter has a "regurgitate this art with AI button". Maybe… maybe the remaining artists will come over now… fixupx.com/Cypress_empr...

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

You can’t post your way out of fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 🔗 www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

idk why "tag your nsfw" is even a controversial statement. it's not about censorship or being prudish, it's about the fact that i want to use this site on company time like a proper union man

if you are on a plane in the United States the safest thing to do right now is to jump out

Maybe if people, especially researchers and companies making these programs and algorithms, would stop using the term AI altogether, and instead used the actual descriptive model name, distinguishing useless from useful would be a lot easier.

can you imagine being told to stop doing your job at nasa to get rid of all the words that make white boys mad? can you imagine being someone who says “sure, I guess”

Hat ein deutsches Medium schon das Wort "Staatsstreich" oder wenigstens "Verfassungskrise" benutzt? Ich lese immer nur von Trumps "Verhandlungstaktik" und Musks "Manöver"

Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies: “What a weird thing to say” “Do you hear yourself right now?” “You shouldn’t say shit like that to people” “I won’t let you talk to them that way” “That’s a disgusting opinion to have” “Shut the fuck up, dude”

lmfao

president trump is bringing back american industry from those we offshored it to. for instance, we no longer need to rely on foreign nations to do our 9/11s

Yep. Living in Berlin I was constantly struck by the ability of Germans to acknowledge the horrors of the Holocaust and in the next breath declare genocidal racism against Muslims.

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks. www.ft.com/content/a0df...

leaving the cruelty aside for just a minute it's absolutely humiliating to imagine being my age or older and getting excited because you think you've been given permission to say a bad word. what are you gonna do next, ride your tricycle past the end of the block

#Berufsverbot - jetzt auch gegen uns Klimaaktive. Die Kriminalisierung gegen uns hält an. Wir wollen eine lebenswerte Zukunft ohne eskalierende #Klimakrise, aber bekommen für unseren Einsatz Polizeigewalt, (Präventions-)Haft & nun Angriffe gegen die individuelle Zukunft. https://buff.ly/42sutxy

I guess I'm too woke because I find the proliferation of this really off-putting and gross. The fact that it's now reached the "enlightened centrists" class is depressing.

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

i can see how you would come to this conclusion if your job didn't require you to ever be correct

It's one of the most surreal clips out there. The room is just left stunned. I am really wondering if there's a better rip of this somewhere.

that's right

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

Mark Cuban is wrong about that last point. Cuban himself is being sued for promoting crypto ponzi Voyager. He couldn’t even tell the “legitimate” crypto companies from the fraud — because there are none. $TRUMP is not an aberration. Trump’s memecoin is 100% quintessential crypto.
