This is horrific. I feel physically ill.

This is also a good example of how people don't inherently understand or interrogate large numbers

62 million men would be approximately every man in Germany and Canada combined. Or almost every man in Russia or Mexico

62 mil was the porn site visits in Feb. Telegram groups cap at 200,000 members

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

"...he has predicted 20% to 30% unemployment within the next two to five years. He warns that advancements in humanoid robots could upend the manual-labor jobs still seen as safe today."

I can't imagine a more fitting punishment for a guy who blamed the Pulse nightclub shooting on the LGBTQ community and claimed that frogs were being turned gay due to chemicals in water

I mean personally I might have written "Incels travel abroad to prey on poor women," but to each their own.

How to stop fascism and the far right.

In a nutshell: offer voters a non-establishment eco-left alternative that *genuinely* stands for people and planet.

It's not complicated.

Oh yeah, this is a just a great idea (not)

"Objection just went live with a radical proposition: let artificial intelligence decide what counts as legitimate journalism."

It will, in the words of Gary McGraw, pick the "beigest," most boring pieces as possible.

Using a slop machine to respond to a post critiquing slop machines is a wild choice

You don't need to know which slop machine is behind our latest go at destroying journalism - just trust us, bruh

"Objection hasn't disclosed which large language models power its judgments or how the system handles nuanced editorial decisions that even human editors debate"

I think about this all the time - I don't understand how partnering with these firms made it through university legal departments

AI psychosis. Numerous suicides. At least one murder. Multiple cases of AI supported stalking and harassment

And schools are gleefully pushing more LLM chatbot use

Exposing a global ‘online rape academy’ that is teaching men how to abuse women and evade detection CNN exposes an online network of men encouraging each other to drug and assault their partners, and swap tips on how to get away with it.

This is a difficult but necessary read - not enough people realize how many men in their lives are guilty of SA

I could make a long thread of what I've experienced, & I'm not unusual. Even just within my academic field I could make a list, as can many women I know

This is why women choose the bear

A folk musician became a target for AI fakes and a copyright troll Murphy Campbell is at the center of a growing storm around AI and a broken copyright system.

The internet was scammy before "AI," but now it's an absolute minefield

AI impersonating people's music and then claiming copyright. There's drop shippers creating AI artisans with their own sales websites. There are so many "influencers" that are AI

I'm increasingly seeing smart folks fall for it

When listing Target Corp‘s many failures over the last 2 years, please don’t forget that here in Minnesota, home to their effin’ HQ, they allowed 🧊 to hunt their own employees in their stores and stage their terror attacks on the surrounding neighborhoods from Target parking lots.😡

People don't like AI! It's literally less popular than the American Gestapo!!

Doe had broken up with the user in 2024, and he used ChatGPT to process the split, according to emails and communications cited in the lawsuit. Rather than push back on his one-sided account, it repeatedly cast him as rational and wronged, and her as manipulative and unstable. He then took these AI-generated conclusions off the screen and into the real world, using them to stalk and harass her. This manifested in several AI-generated, clinical-looking psychological reports that he distributed to her family, friends, and employer.

For months, her then-fiancé and partner of several years had been fixating on her and their relationship with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In mid-2024, she explained, they’d hit a rough patch as a couple; in response, he turned to ChatGPT, which he’d previously used for general business-related tasks, for “therapy.” Before she knew it, she recalled, he was spending hours each day talking with the bot, funneling everything she said or did into the model and propounding on pseudo-psychiatric theories about her mental health and behavior. He started to bombard the woman with screenshots of his ChatGPT interactions and copy-pasted AI-generated text, in which the chatbot can be seen armchair-diagnosing her with personality disorders and insisting that she was concealing her real feelings and behavior through coded language. The bot often laced its so-called analyses with flowery spiritual jargon, accusing the woman of engaging in manipulative “rituals.” Trying to communicate with her fiancé was like walking on “ChatGPT eggshells,” the woman recalled. No matter what she tried, ChatGPT would “twist it.” “He would send [screenshots] to me from ChatGPT, and be like, ‘Why does it say this? Why would it say this about you, if this is not true?'” she recounted. “And it was just awful, awful things.”

Shortly after moving out, the former fiancé began to publish multiple videos and images a day on social media accusing the woman of an array of alleged abuses — the same bizarre ideas he’d fixated on so extensively with ChatGPT. In some videos, he stares into the camera, reading from seemingly AI-generated scripts; others feature ChatGPT-generated text overlaid on spiritual or sci-fi-esque graphics. In multiple posts, he describes stabbing the woman. In another, he discusses surveilling her. (The posts, which we’ve reviewed, are intensely disturbing; we’re not quoting directly from them or the man’s ChatGPT transcripts due to concern for the woman’s privacy and safety.) The ex-fiancé also published revenge porn of the woman on social media, shared her full name and other personal information, and doxxed the names and ages of her teenage children from a previous marriage. He created a new TikTok dedicated to harassing content — complete with its own hashtag — and followed the woman’s family, friends, and neighbors, as well as other teens from her kids’ high school. “I’ve lived in this small town my entire life,” said the woman. “I couldn’t leave my house for months… people were messaging me all over my social media, like, ‘Are you safe? Are your kids safe? What is happening right now?'”

A woman sued OpenAI last week alleging that ChatGPT reinforced the obsessive, violent delusions of her stalker (her ex-boyfriend.)

This woman's claims (as detailed by TechCrunch, left) are chillingly similar to those of a completely different woman whose story Futurism reported on in Feb (right):

Been on this particular trip many times, but it never gets less crazy: Every single site that has ever handled fossil fuels, ever, is toxic. You are surrounded by this legacy, you see it every day, and if we labelled even a fraction of it, it would blow the politics of energy transition wide open.

I think about this ALL THE TIME!

I've got pottery down and I forage. And I have wood-working friends I can bring

I already make pottery (although probably not the kind endangered)

I've been very interested in basket making lately - even saved my raspberry cane trimmings to give it a go

And it would be so cool to learn Irish thatching (I've watched a lot of videos)

Fellow ADHD friends - what do you choose?
