A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Another fantastic and spot-on accurate review of #AI for Communication @routledgebooks.bsky.social This one was written by @robertdiab.bsky.social for the National Communication Assocation journal "Critical Studies in Media Communication."

Karp’s book came out after @bentarnoff.com and I had already started writing ours. Reading it we were like “oh this is Muskism.” The interesting thing, as @lioneltrolling.bsky.social pointed out, is that it was written with the assumption of an incoming Harris administration.

Sobre o último "manifesto" cuspido pelo vale do Adolfo

Consider signing this open letter. We must fight against the auto-destruction of the university as an institution where skills essential to democracy are being learned and practiced: reading, interpreting, writing, formulating research questions that go beyond the normative rationality of LLMs

Curiosamente, contrastando com Gaza, os jornalistas ocidentais tem tido autorização para ir para o Irã.

O Caco Barcelos virou queridinho porque foi pro Irã e noticiou de lá , mas a gente podia ter jornalistas no Irã desde o primeiro dia.... vários....... se a imprensa quisesse.

Né?

She "said" she experienced? Really?

Recado claríssimo.

(And oligarchs, whose money bends space, and the destitute, of course.)

The rich, like the poor, depend on networks. That makes them local. It's the middle class, whose main sustenance comes from formal work, that doesn't and is thus mobile, atomized, and nuclear. Even people who do migrate mostly do so because there's an established migrant network around them.

The pied-à-terre tax will ruin New York's economy by (checks notes) encouraging superrich visitors to stay in hotels instead. I think these scare stories need a little more workshopping. www.ft.com/content/02ac...

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

we need athletes on here so bad

Concentrou o discurso do dia nessa bobagem (feita imitando manifestação gringa), ao invés de nas manifestações grandes com pauta objetiva que aconteceram simultaneamente.

(E digo isso na condição de quem acha que todas as homenagens a bandeirantes tinham que sumir)

Ban this shit from your life.

Seriously. Boycott. And keep away from your kids.

its hard to be excited about "the ai bubble bursting" when the last 10 years has proven that regardless of automation, companies never rehire their terminated workforce. companies know they can burden one employee with the workload of seven while destabilizing the economy with a gig-based model.

Yeah, ready access includes not being under threat - and you have to sail quite a bit away from Vladivostok to reach warm water. Threat wasn't a constant, but once they developed the terrestrial reentry inertia takes over. (Especially now that Russia is sort of an inheritor civ.)

Everything is fucking dumb all the time now

Because the Russians (and before them the soviets) don't have ready access to non deathly cold ocean water. They'd absolutely land their craft in the Caribbean if they could.

I bought a DM in 2023, and it broke down in...2023.

Acho lindo porque existe a expressão ensinar o vigário a rezar missa, e os reaças mandam um hold my beer.

O maluco se converteu ao catolicismo pra reinventar o protestantismo. É muito vale do silício disruptivo empreendedor.

O comentário de que não comprou veio depois do Qt. Mas não tava nem comentando dele, e sim da BBC mesmo. O labour quer a vitória do Bozo.

I promise nothing complete; because any human thing supposed to be complete, must for that very reason infallibly be faulty.

Nem, pelo menos não encontrei nenhum

Eu diria que está exatamente no lugar certo, não? Igual quem acredita que o patê roubou oito trilhões de dólares

Imagino que seja parecido com os de russo
