Stanford University removed an AI-altered photo that replaced Billy Ramirez, a first-generation Hispanic student, with an image of a Black woman, on a banner displayed on campus this fall. https://t.co/Il0jOrLm4u

Totally fine being the only one in here for Resident Evil. I don’t get scared, k.

Just hope, like… It ain’t the apoccalips out there when it’s over because I’ll be much slower due to popcorn consumption.

Exclusive: Our new investigation uncovers the horrifying ChatGPT history of the Tumbler Ridge mass shooter. OpenAI’s chatbot fueled the shooter’s violent fantasies and planning up to the day of the school massacre. https://t.co/ZsFDuBTWTB

Born on this day: Jack Gaughan (1930-1985).

An insanely prolific and brilliant artist whose work spanned sci-fi, fantasy and horror.

Here's his superb cover for the 1973 Award Books edition of Jack Finney's The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

I think this might have been the first edition to add 'Invasion of' to the title.

@jpalmiotti @Tubi @PlutoTV @YouTube Kanopy should be listed as well. They don’t have ads, and they don’t edit or censor movies.

If you care so little about your poster/graphic/script/image that you won’t put the time in to create it… that you must use AI… why would you expect anyone else to care about it?

You don't need the perfect words to support someone who's struggling.

Sometimes, just being there is enough. Start by listening without judgment, offer your support, and remind them that help is available through 988.

Mamdani: Today, after years of corporate greed and impunity, we are holding DoorDash to account. I am proud to announce that DoorDash will pay more than $131 million, the largest settlement for food delivery workers ever secured in American municipal history, and a landmark win for those who have been mistreated and abused for years with nowhere to turn.

City Hall will not sit idly by while a megacorporation that made nearly a billion dollars in profits last year rips off the working people who keep our city moving.

Not a random doomer. Not an outside critic.

An Anthropic safety researcher just resigned and put it on the record: more than a 1-in-10 chance AI kills all of us by the end of the decade.

The people closest to the models are the most scared. That's the tell.

"Holy shit that's a nasty surprise. There are things you expect to cost $500, like a Nintendo Switch, or tix to see Ed Sheeran 2 weeks ago 👀... being able to breathe is not one of them."

The current cover for Shaun Hutson's Spawn is far from terrible. It does a solid job of marketing the book, but look at what we lost when you compare it to the 1988 Dorchester Books edition and the 1983 Star edition.

I appreciate fully painted cover art is way 'out of budget' these days but it still pains me to see what we used to have.

@PitchingNinja The Rays need to conserve energy so they can finish the season and continue on in the playoffs. It’s more effective to hit the ball over the wall. Orioles season ended around late March, so they can run free.

OFFICIAL TRAILER - The sequel to 2006's horror-comedy Black Sheep, BLACK SHEEPS is coming soon.

In New Zealand cinemas November 12.

Celebrated the 50th anniversary of a protoslasher near & dear, where it filmed, in Paterson NJ, all thanks to The Myers House NC who continues to do what he do.

A screening of the movie & shenanigans so wholesome even Mrs. Tredoni would approve.

Christian Bale has officially opened a $22 million foster care village in Palmdale that he helped create.

The village includes 12 homes designed to keep siblings together while in foster care, with programs offered there to ensure support & stability.

Ok this is starting to feel like a f*cking disaster.

The CEO of Anthropic just published an article admitting AI is already building the next generation of AI by itself.

He says within 6 to 12 months a rogue swarm could take over the entire internet and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage.

And what makes it scarier, Elon Musk just backed up everything Dario said.

All of this dropping just days after Jacob Coxon went viral with his warning about AI and the extinction of humanity.

Tell me this timing isn't strange.

[Keith Edwards @keithedwards]

Something clearly happened with a frontier AI model that hasn't been made public and it spooked them so much that it made Elon Musk, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman all simultaneously agree to slow down.
