Trump is really mad at the WSJ for pointing out that he’s getting rolled by Iran.

Zoom teams up with World to verify humans in meetings | TechCrunch Meeting platform Zoom has announced a partnership with World, Sam Altman's human ID verification company, to ensure that the people attending meetings are actually human and not AI-generated imposters...

Absolutely insane that we've allowed it to get to the point where this is needed at all.

Companies are injecting AI into everything, and companies are using AI to remove AI from everything. AI companies are like weapons dealers selling to both sides of the war.

not when you're at the end of it

lol good luck with this one Kegsbreath

I should have drank more in college because I'm 45 years old and only now coming to understand the wisdom in forcing yourself to throw up once you realize it's going to happen, rather than letting your body torment you until it realizes what your brain already knows.

"Warning: If you ever believed in American Greatness, that sense of pride is about to take a beatdown."

It's one of those Triads from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/our-idiot-...

Steal this idea: there's an integrated fake betting market site satirizing Kalshi and Polymarket on the site with insane wagers that get periodically promoted

no quicker way to signal to the market that your entire product can be generated by AI than firing a shitload of engineers.

lol whoops

and guess what, friendo? those customers you retained? yeah they're out of business because THEIR customers rewrote THEIR products with AI as well.

you thought you were gonna be spared? global collapse is GLOBAL, pal

Marc Benioff Says the Software Bears Are All Wrong About Salesforce “People think we have our back against the wall,” but customers aren’t replacing its offerings with AI, the CEO says.

lol the bell tolls for thee.

what did you think the end result of "we can fire everyone because AI tools can build our software cheaper"?

You thought it was people signing up for your SaaS service rather than just using those same AI tools to rebuild their own?

You're gonna try and charge me a ticket to retcon a bunch of shit?

I don't even want to know but is Ternus like some kind of Trump loyalist MAGA dude? That's what I expect when I see these kinds of things these days

Yes.

You should hear the shit that leaders in these companies are suggesting foisting onto their users unasked.

Oh my god it actually happened. A Tim Heidecker running it is a thing I didn't even know I wanted this badly.

The Onion has just been stacking up wins

Under pressure Kash Patel claims FBI has ‘evidence’ that 2020 election was stolen The Director, rumored to be facing dismissal, says he has ‘information that backs President Trump’s claim’ that Joe Biden’s victory over him was achieved by widespread fraud

This pretty much confirms the 2024 election was stolen. This is a muddy-the-waters situation so that when the truth comes out it can be a both-sides thing

Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

I have a cat that doesn't do the "cat activation noise" when you touch him while he's laying down. It genuinely freaks me out

Andy Beshear is the only person I've ever heard use the phrase "justice involved population"

I do regularly hear stuff like "a shooting involving an ICE agent that left one dead" which is super not how normal people talk.

Is "Trump has a complicated relationship with Christianity" normal talk?

My children think they love Florida when what they love is theme parks.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience

Disney's new Infinity Vision is the most "Yeah, well, I didn't want to go to your party because I am having MY OWN PARTY and it's AWESOME and we're going to have a PONY RIDE and you can't even come even if you want to so there" energy I've ever seen.

Disney’s Launches ‘Infinity Vision’ Certification For Premium Theaters Don’t know your RPX and XD from your Prime and UltraAVX? Disney’s new Infinity Vision certification program is here to make choosing a high-quality movie theater simpler.

Literally embarrassing. You could have just moved the date if you were going to be all pissy about Dune's release.

Nine Inch Nails - Nine Inch Noize Listen to Nine Inch Noize by Nine Inch Nails.

This album is fucking crazy. It's almost like it's the sound Trent has always been trying to achieve. It's more NIN than an actual NIN album.

MAGA Is Increasingly Convinced the Trump Assassination Attempt Was Staged Conspiracy theories about the Butler, Pennsylvania, shooting have ramped up in recent weeks as once steadfast Trump supporters turn on the president.

From what I can tell people on the left will largely refuse to say that the Trump assassination was staged because they don't want to be seen as conspiracy theorists...

...but whenever I'm in a small group of all left-leaning folks, literally everyone says it was.

So far the Pope and Iran won over people that were previously completely against them just by opposing Donald Trump so Hezbollah could do the funniest thing right now

"Loving AI is a right-wing red flag" remains undefeated

Really embracing the twitter v1 vibes, eh bluesky?

Don't forget about the time he thought people here on a visa got free Visa credit cards.

I pay every penny I owe in taxes, but I must say that this year really felt like a gut-punch on account of all the illegal shit that the federal government is doing with our hard-earned money
