'Clipping' is taking over social feeds — and that's changing our perception of what's actually popular It's getting harder to tell what's organically popular and what's being fed to us by "clippers" on our social feeds. The band Geese, for instance.

not marked safe from entering last week's Geese discourse www.businessinsider.com/clipping-soc...

I thought it was mainly the price that was so appealing, right? Like they're "a car, that works!" but for way less than US made Evs

Heirs to Bic Pen Fortune Seek Painting They Say Chauffeur Stole Heirs to the fortune created by Bic pens are suing a prominent Chilean businessman, seeking the return of a coveted 15th-century painting that they say was stolen from the family by a former employee.

Nice!!!!

We're in such a beautiful, perfect moment of celebrity gossip right now, I am so happy and feel alive but also can't help but worry that like, the world is going to explode

Ok so I listen to the SiriusXM classic rock channel in the car a lot, and I’ve noticed it plays way more Billy Squire than I’ve ever encountered on classic rock radio or like, “life”, and it’s led me to constant questioning about Billy Squire and his arc (and the dancing video)

Omg wait you have no idea how obsessed with the concept of “how famous was Billy squire, actually?” I am lately. A total mystery to me

Imagine chugging a beer while Loverboy cranks out “Turn Me Loose” in concert…. The law is good

MTV really nerfed some great but ugly acts of the late 70s/early 80s

I think Loverboy could’ve been one of the most important bands of the 80s if they had only had at least 1 good looking guy in the band

I bring my own

What if it was poop soup though, hmm?

!!!! Congrats!!!!

What absolute fucking idiots lol. Good for them.

Texting my friends “can I be a bitch for a minute?” and then dropping this shady gossip

I was just thinking the other day about lambskin condoms and wondering if they still exist? I'm sure there's some non-latex versions for people with allergies but do they acutally use LAMBS?!

its crazy because the concept SEEMS like a great solution. maybe it just wasn't very effective?

based on my middle school sex ed class in the 90s, i really thought diaphrams would have a more important role in adult life

One of the most annoying byproducts of AI that is destroying the web is that because so many AI bots are constantly trying to scrape pages, CloudFlare is constantly having autoimmune flareups and giving you "bad gateway" to websites all the time

AI has a millennial cringe problem From the people who brought you avocado toast: We millennials are bringing the "chaotic," "unhinged," and other generational-coded words to ChatGPT.

Have you ever noticed that AI video like Sora always puts people in skinny jeans? I feel like ChatGPT is like that too -- it speaks in millenial cringe because it was trained on Reddit and 2010s internet posts www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-mill...

Because there was already a reputable article on the BBC stating that tech journalist hot dog eating competitions were a joke, I couldn't trick it. Of course, this didn't stop Gemini from hallucinating completely new details about my fake win (like that I dipped them in espresso?)

My quest to get ChatGPT and Gemini to crown me winner of a hot dog-eating contest points to our AI future A BBC reporter pranked AI by claiming to be a hot dog-eating champ. I decided to get in on the fun — with varying results.

I enjoyed @thomasgermain.bsky.social's prank about getting LLMs to believe he won a hot dog eating contest by simply writing it on his personal website that I attempted to recreate it. I failed, which is embarassing, but I refuse to be defined by failure www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-gemi...

I’ve read the exact amount of the first 1/3 of books to be perfectly annoying in a variety of circumstances

Oh I would NEVER do that (literal do that 8x a day)
