For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never be invited back to Coachella again! I'm so proud of them

Absolutely I’m a safe space for your secrets.

Unless they’re funny. Then all bets are off.

Google Starts Scanning All Your Photos As New Update Goes Live Google wants its AI to see all the photos of "you and your loved ones." Billions of users must now decide.

“Take a moment to think before you dive in. That’s the best advice for Google Photos users, as the company confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation.”

A decade ago, I wrote that tech tycoons were on a path towards being considered the new robber barons. Now that 750k tech workers have been laid off, it was inevitable things would get rough. medium.com/humane-tech/... When it hits a million, they’re gonna need Pinkertons whenever they go outside.

If elected President, I also plan to correct the Pope on matters of theology, in a way that makes it gradually clear I've mixed up Catholicism with Klingon spirituality. Then I'll invite him to the White House and present him with a copy of the Paq'batlh, bound in human skin.

new bucket list unlocked for my adhd craft friends:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Kids these days just don't get enough drowning in the dark abyss of their absolute failure.

The left panel is titled AI - MASTER OF ENGINE & CREATION and features a sophisticated, human-like android robot with detailed internal circuits and a glowing brain. Floating text around the robot says - REWRITING GAME ENGINES with a small video screen, GENERATING REALISTIC VIDEO/IMAGES with code on a screen, and CONFIDENCE - 100%. The right panel is titled AI - FRONT-END CSS FAIL and shows a cluttered desk with a distressed small robot next to a frustrated human man pointing aggressively at a computer screen. The computer displays a chaotic webpage full of broken layout elements and a giant black void called a gaping hole. The small robot has a speech bubble that says - I'M DONE! THE FEATURE IS COMPLETE. Floating text phrases on the right side are - BESPOKE INTERACTION NIGHTMARE, CSS IS HARD, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, CAN'T RENDER, LLM CAN'T MATH. The human has a mug with </> and nerdy.dev written on it.

Why does AI suck at front-end?

🗑️ trained on garbage
👀 it can't see
❓ it doesn't know why
🏞️ no environmental control

there's no human v20.2.1 to target. we're a LLM combinatorial explosion

Don’t debate with liars. Liars love debating because they count on not being fact-checked, and know that those of us burdened with integrity and telling the truth won’t be able to keep up with their lies. If you have to debate them, don’t say they’re “wrong,” tell the truth and say they’re lying.

cyberpunk has had its run now it's time for cyberska give me robot rudeboys and augmentations that turn your hands into trombones

"AI is garbage, bro, it gives you wrong answers like half the time and the other half the time makes you stupid."

Overheard a middle schooler chastising a fellow student for suggesting they use AI. Whole middle school herd started mocking the AI kid.

...We need to let these kids at the tech bros.

Picture of an octopus under the sea who has just thrown something. The caption reads female octopuses are being observed throwing objects at males who refuse to leave them alone.

Hell, I knew they were smart but damn! 😄 you go lady octopus! 🐙

There is no McTry.

Long live the friendship between the 10x udarnik engineer and the láomó AI adopter

A beige brick wall with a central section of mismatched bricks forming a patch-like rectangle, casting light shadows; conveys a sense of oddity.

Definitely coming back here when I unlock bombs.

Since the toilets on Orion are a continuing topic of fascination, here's a thread about space toilets. It's not just about function - toilets are symbolic and social too, and raise issues of privacy and intimacy. This image shows how to use the Apollo Fecal Containment Device.

read a post that said “The loneliest thing about being a woman attracted to intelligence is realizing a lot of men want you to be smart enough to understand them but not so smart that you question them” and well…

tf do you mean we named a storm Dave. 80mph wind warnings and up to 30cm of snow and we called it Dave. how am i supposed to take that seriously

bruh i can't sleep unless my text based social media app has a growing monthly user base im fucking sweating through feverish nightmares about declining engagement and a reduced ability to grow my personal brand im dying without that algorithmic boost bruh it's fucking over bruh

this is similar to my belief that all drugs should be legal, but only purchasable in plain white packaging from a government store staffed by middle-aged nurses hired for their ability to look disappointed in you.

Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses.

It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them.
Yes. This exists. 😹

There was a makeup artist on IG talking about how, when she would tell clients "so the makeup chatgpt gave you doesn't exist," they would get visibly upset and anxious and demand the not real makeup be shown

I recall a poetry prof from another life, who said that you're not a writer if you don't love words, and I don't think you love words if you're letting a computer pick them for you.
