A 3D Printer Brought More Broken Promises to Cairo, Illinois I spotted the printer abandoned off a country road. Finding out how it got there is a whole other story of tangled politics, tiny banks with big business deals, and the future of a town some say canno...

NEW: Two local men promised to build housing with a 3D printer.

That didn’t pan out. When reporter Molly Parker started to investigate what went wrong, she found the printer disassembled on a flatbed truck at a country repair shop.

Then things got weird.

Whether or not the two things are actually correlated, it is incredibly funny that Bluesky started experiencing near daily tech fuck ups right after the team started bragging about using vibe coding

Incredibly accurate, bc you dumb shits, IT DOESN'T MATTER, the means to turn the heat off, or at least down, is right there and within your ability to do it, so WHY TF DON'T YOU WANT TO? No matter who/what is to blame, you can save yourself BUT YOU WON'T.

hello hi yes so this makes sense when you understand that the sucess condition for an LLM is the production of a text-base, genre-bound performance of a plausible and acceptable answer to a given question. the question defines the expected genre.

the foundational concept of Bluesky was to create a space for tech bros by using invite only for a span

the foundational reality of Bluesky is that invites became life rafts for queers fleeing Twitter by way of furries

A flawed fix for social media’s harms - The Boston Globe The state’s approach could create new risks for users while letting tech companies off the hook.

🧵 I want to crack down on Big Tech as much as anyone, prob more than most. But the draconian and unworkable kids' online safety bill that the MA House passed earlier this month is not the way to do it.

We know from whistleblowers & recent litigation that Big Tech platforms know how bad the design choices they make in their products are for users, incl youth -- and that their leaders DNGAF about the harm, as long as the 🤑 and data keep flowing.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.
