@FrontierCorp Don't do it. Customer service is worse than ever. They've messed up my billing (no change on my end) had me jump thru hoops in March & I'm still trying to get the bill corrected. Each call they ASSURE me it's been corrected going forward - I'm on hold RIGHT NOW.

[Darkwitless @DarkWitless]

@FrontierCorp n @Verizon - you guys merged. Frontier offered me a $15/off to link my accts. I did that back in March. Yet my cost has gone up instead. I've made several phones calls & linked all the things & was assured last week it was addressed. Nope. Help.

@USPS - what the heck is going on? Does it really take more than 10 days to ship a package from TX to IN?

@kroger - anyone else unable to look up coupons from the app? I've not been able to since the big "update" on the app. It's not an issue when the price tags has a QR code - but not all coupons gets tags in store - especially with the new digital price tags.

[Darkwitless @DarkWitless]

@kroger Please reconsider your Northern IN strategy. Your only competition up here is Aldi(2 !)and Walmart (also 2) - we'd love to see a MarketPlace in Goshen,IN. My neighbors are floored when I tell them about Kroger in other cities.

@riverlinktoll I got an emailed @ a transponder issue issue today - but not which car. CSR cancelled the "failed" one to send me a new one. But also decided to cancel another transponder on the account. I caught their mistake & spent another hour trying to get it fixed.

@CaptJosephVotto @Reds @JoeyVotto Thanks Capt.!

@jenny2x4 Why do you think they really fired an NTSB Official last week?

Did Trump just trigger the most self defeating chain of events in modern history?

> Israel drags US into war with Iran
> Oil surges in price, troops die
> Trump panics and lifts Russia sanctions so India can buy more oil
> Russia uses that money to help Iran
> We just funded our own enemy

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

This is truly incredible to watch:

5 minutes ago, US crude oil prices surged above $91.50/barrel.

Now, we are above $92.50, adding +$1/barrel in 5 minutes.

This puts prices up +$12/barrel in 9 hours.

We are witnessing a historic short squeeze as we speak.

Yesterday, 357 members of Congress voted to block the release of sexual misconduct reports and the taxpayer slush fund used to pay off victims. In Oversight committee, @RepNancyMace made the motion to subpoena the records and after we fought for it, it passed. This list will now be made public for the American people to see for themselves.

We did this because you deserve to know the truth.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Congress has secretly paid out more than $17 million of your money to quietly settle charges of harassment (sexual and other forms) in Congressional offices.

Don’t you think we should release the names of the Representatives? I do.

🚨 Stanford researchers just exposed a weird side effect of AI that almost nobody is talking about.

The paper is called “Artificial Hivemind.” And the core finding is unsettling.

As language models get better, they also start sounding more and more the same.

Not just within a single model. Across different models.

Researchers built a dataset called INFINITY-CHAT with 26,000 real open-ended questions things like creative writing, brainstorming, opinions, and advice. Questions where there isn’t a single correct answer.

In theory, these prompts should produce huge diversity.

But the opposite happened.

Two patterns showed up:

1) Intra-model repetition
The same model keeps producing very similar answers across runs.

2) Inter-model homogeneity
Completely different models generate strikingly similar responses.

In other words:

Instead of thousands of unique perspectives…

We’re getting the same few ideas recycled over and over.

The authors call this the “Artificial Hivemind.”

It happens because most frontier models are trained on similar data, optimized with similar reward models, and aligned using similar human feedback.

So even when you ask something open-ended like:

• “Write a poem about time”
• “Suggest creative startup ideas”
• “Give life advice”

Many models converge toward the same phrasing, metaphors, and reasoning patterns.

The scary implication isn’t about AI quality.

It’s about culture.

If billions of people rely on the same systems for ideas, writing, brainstorming, and thinking…

AI might slowly compress the diversity of human thought.

Not because it’s trying to.

But because the models themselves are drifting toward the same answers.

That’s the real risk the paper highlights.

Not that AI becomes smarter than humans.

But that everyone starts thinking like the same machine.

@AAAhoosier - why do new members get preferred pricing over loyal members?

[Darkwitless @DarkWitless]

@Target - I've been trying to place an order online for hours but your webpage won't let me check out nor start a "chat"

[Darkwitless @DarkWitless]

@RVAwonk Sounds like Clark Co Indiana and their Sheriff's office. The local paper is non-existent and the local news only covers Louisville. For decades the former Sheriff made millions of the taxpayers-and his replacement is making waves with political games.

@sama @captgouda24 "Maybe I would quit my job" - won't protect our privacy from a Political Regime. Too little. Too late. You already sold us down the river.
