Let me get this straight... OpenAl was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. "To benefit humanity." Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he's on stage saying you'll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he's going to bill you to use it... Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they're not even hiding it anymore...

Alex Pretti's family on how they found out about his death.

"It was all over the news. We watched it. I was like that's our son. That's Alex and they killed him. No one called us. Watching our son shot 10 times trying to help someone. And being beaten, sprayed with tear gas.

My shock is that he was murdered and no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable and it's been seven months. There was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice."

Holy fucking shit

So this movie is based on a novel by Colin Meloy, the lead singer of the Decemberists, and it’s the first book in a trilogy and it’s weird and clever and full of loving nods to the Narnia books and I strongly encourage all of you to read it before seeing the film.

All these recalls should show you one thing. When companies get the chance to cut corners, they absolutely will.

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

Genuinely incredible to see tech bros absolutely flabbergasted by opposition to data centers after smugly pronouncing that AI would render so many jobs and so much of human creativity obsolete, after bragging that only their work and ways of life be unharmed. JD Vance telling people, look, you're just going to have to accept the Palantir surveillance state. Marc Andreessen bragging about how only VCs will survive the AI revolution and mocking the pope for good measure when he called for moral AI. And now you guys are just totally shocked, caught off guard that people have been paying attention to what you have been saying and hate it. They hate your vision. They hate your ideas. They hate how you look down on them. They hate what you think you can do to them without even having to bother asking for their consent. So they're doing the one thing they can do right now, which is oppose data centers, and you people are melting down because it's the first time you've heard the word "No."

I honestly think it's impressive einbinder can pull off repressed nerd *and* sex symbol in the same movie!! not everyone can do both!!

As I keep saying, we’re being subjected to a barrage of propaganda insisting that reading is only for elites, when mass literacy is the foundation of the modern world. If we lose the ability to pick up & read the works of a classic author, we are in no meaningful way free.

I’m done trying to be polite or tiptoe around peoples feelings when it comes to generative AI. Your stuff looks like shit. Your logo looks like shit. Your flyer looks like shit. Your photo edits look like shit. It’s so obvious that it’s AI, and it all looks like garbage.

People are like “if people say ‘readed’ instead of ‘read’ that’s okay bc language changes” and I’m sorry like…we don’t have to do this lol

“DANCE…” by Slayyyter is nominated for ‘Best Dance’ at the #VMAs.

It marks her first ever major award show nomination.

[Zelda Vox @ZeldaVox]

yes i DO think you’re a loser and an idiot for using generative AI! yes i DO think you’re fucking stupid if you ask chatgpt questions! i do not respect you!

There is a japanese legend that says:

If you miss the bus, maybe you avoided the accident. If you got rejected, maybe you were saved from the wrong place. If they left, maybe they made room for who is coming.

The universe protects you in ways that look like bad luck at first. Trust the detour.

Exclusive: A rare bookseller suspected his books were being bought by AI companies. He stuck an AirTag in a book and we tracked it to a secretive Amazon facility in Las Vegas where they scan and destroy books called VGT3:
