If you'e never read The Falling Man, you should do so. I post this on September 11th every year, and I find time to read it on this day every year. Still, in my eyes, the greatest piece of journalism I have ever read. https://t.co/gZgwzRoSgX
“If the tech oligarchs are building bunkers on islands and prepping for doomsday, we should all be screaming: Whom does this serve?”
There's a familiar pattern in the AI race: someone warns us of the incredible threat that these new technologies could pose...before building the tech themselves.
@PageauJonathan urges us to ask the question beneath it all: who is this for?
Instead of deaf people just watching the actual artists perform, CBC puts a sign language interpreter on to perform air guitar & drum solos for them to watch along side of it. Whats going on in Canada? It’s a 24/7 nut house
A priest, a pastor and a rabbit walked in to a blood donation clinic.
The nurse asked the rabbit: “What is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O”, said the rabbit.
I hate that I had to grow up in the generation that got to see what life was like before the internet and then have to watch as it single-handedly destroys every single social entertainment space. Video rental stores, movie theaters, malls, arcades, bowling alleys, etc. The infinite access to at-home entertainment is turning us all into lazy, antisocial, depressed hermits and we’re just willingly allowing this to happen to us. The long term ramifications of this are so dire.
This is the Heritage Minute that was deleted from YouTube by people who want to erase Sir John A. Macdonald from our history.
Let’s make sure as many people as possible see this. Make this go viral.
It's midnight in California...the moment we've been waiting for!
Dick Van Dyke is now officially 100 years old!! 🥳
Happy birthday, @iammrvandy! 🎂 You inspire us with your energy and positive outlook on life!!
My first experiment with Grok imagine, aka videos of things that didn’t happen. I call this one “breakdancing poodle”. I think we’ve officially crossed the rubicon (or perhaps “jumped the shark”, I’m not sure which metaphor works best). But either way, we may never be able to trust digital media ever again as a record of true events. Thoughts?
@JohnHMcWhorter I’m with you, John. I saw him live once just to see what the fuss was about and frankly found it tough to get through, but looking now at some of his lyrics I can see where the genius lies.
@AndreaMicieli My kids always laugh when I say “chesterfield”, they say it sounds like something from 100 years ago. Maybe it is…but I’m glad someone else still uses it! Enjoy the summer!
