When California's SB1047 proposed risk-management strategies similar to those Altman had called for in congressional testimony, OpenAI opposed it. When it passed the state legislature, OpenAI lobbied Governor Gavin Newsom to veto it, which he did.

Now to get that on your wrist as the first Mzansinaut.

Right? If he was authentic he’d have removed/replaced himself as CEO first but then he’d not be in control, heaven forbid.

It's #PortfolioDay!? Hey, I'm Chris. I work as a freelance artist, primarily for video games and board games. I have availability later in the year, so feel free to message me if you're interested in working together 😊

If only. Zuck 1 will retire to his hermetically sealed bunker in NZ and be kept alive indefinitely on nutropics and virgin’s blood.

"Old" is anyone over 20 to my teenaged kids. At 46 I'm in the same bucket as their 80 year old granny 🙃

As for the elderly "gentleman" I have a 62 year old step-dad with no filter 😬 But as a terrible bore I've never been fond of locker room or "just the guys" talk anyway.

I’m a terrible bore but on the topic of going out in your pyjamas an elderly… gentleman… called into Cape Talk to say that seeing young women put in the effort put a spring in his step 💀

‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility A worker died at Amazon’s Troutdale warehouse last week. Employees were told to look away.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.

For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.

One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

Until there’s liability you’re going to say anything about your broken product to cover the hundreds of billions in costs coming.

"A particular kind of motion is discerned, in a way that a modern painter might admire, a “found” motion underlying the bounce of peas on a winnowing fan ... not so different from that of modern “found” sculpture, when Picasso calls a bicycle seat and handlebars a bull’s head." Albert Cook, 1984, 40

Solid choice.

And yay Scouts! Had lots of fun as a kid on Scout camps.

Oh so this is why Trump put the Strait of Hormuz on the blockchain.

Dang, that’s got character.

you're in the redwoods, standing on the forest floor. dappled sunlight lights ferns and long, leggy branches, with little umbrella-shaped leaf structures on the end, covered in luxurious green moss. the way the image looks has… a special something.

"how to make your photos more cinematic"

shoot with a vintage cine lens. fin.

one of my all-time faves, the 35mm f2.8 helios-33, on the ricoh gxr m mount. it's a knockoff of a cooke lens.

it only covers aps-c (super 16) and i would give my eyeteeth for a 25mm that renders similarly.

Was wondering why the director of the FBI was putting up posters but then realised that’s Kash. Kalshi is a gambling website.

Trump's original statement is actuall stupider than that:

Iran’s Navy is laying at the bottom of the sea, completely obliterated...What we have not hit are their...“fast attack ships,” because we did not consider them much of a threat...

Trump claimed that while Iran’s navy has been “completely obliterated” the US has not sunk its “fast attack ships", of which 60% remain...

Getting deja vu from when USA obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities...

Have you seen the trash Artemis II digital photos? They should have taken up some wet plates... 🙄

It's crazy that ZDNET have to add a disclaimer about reusing a device you own*.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR PUBLISHED: September 8, 2025 at 2:38 PM EDT Editor: It's all over the news that wherever these big data centers turn up, electricity and water bills skyrocket for the communities. Yet Rep. Rob Bresnahan keeps parroting the claim that monster data center palaces will magically unleash affordability when all evidence is to the contrary. Rep. Bresnahan's reply letter to me about data center projects regurgitated PA Senator Rosemary Brown's talking point from the Archbald hearing falsely claiming monstrosity data centers are needed for photo backups and banking services. But the tech industry openly admits it's the AI that requires huge data center campuses. The world's banks have used computers for decades without huge "clusters". Backups to the cloud take minuscule processing compared to what's needed for Large Language Model type AI companions that flatter users or for chatbots that conjure up fake citation footnotes. Bresnahan is overpromising jobs at data centers because by now everyone knows data centers don't need lots of people. Besides, AI technology is being marketed to CEOs as a way to eliminate the need for humans! They're promising an "AI jobs apocalypse" to employers looking to downsize payrolls. Either AI makes jobs or eliminates jobs, you can't have it both ways. Bresnahan bragged about a government joint venture with Blackstone. But Blackstone is despised for their business practices in real estate and rentals. Why would we welcome that boondoggle? Bresnahan seems to think I would like government rushing through environmental rules because politicians seem to think "environment" is just a political buzzword when what this means to me is the surroundings where I live and not wanting my home enveloped by unbearable noise and toxic fumes of data centers. AI booster politicians invested in tech companies think we're not tech savvy here in NEPA and won't know what's up. But I'm not fooled. Chloe Humbert, Scranton

“so that employees might feel more connected to the founder” sounds like a Manson-like cult and I guess that tracks

And they’re proud of it. I don’t understand choosing, all else equal, hate over love.

The choice broadly is
Woke or Wanker ?
and an awful lot of people have decided they’re wankers

Her mom was a Cure head so yeah 😁
