Cobra chickens yesterday

Ai slop is starting to make me feel physically ill when I see it. Yesterday, I saw a sign for a cafe near my work and it made me nauseous before clocked why. (Clearly ai slop) Today it was snoopy slop. It didn’t use to have this effect. Is anyone else starting to feel like this?

But in order to parse it the wrong way is with a different comma (after Iran)

Uhhhh can we not?

I’m sure there will be no horrifying consequences as a result of the Trump regime authorizing the launch of ominously Tolkien-named satellites capable of illuminating 5 to 6 kilometer-wide swaths of the earth at night: www.wired.com/story/reflec...

Equipped with an 18-meter reflector, Eärendil-1 could illuminate areas 5 to 6 kilometers in diameter for brief periods (the mirror satellite's name is a reference to a character from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series).
The authorization allows the company to deploy the test satellite at an altitude of about 625 kilometers. Its primary objective is to evaluate the technical feasibility of its ultrathin, highly reflective, film-based reflector.
"We're grateful to the FCC for granting our application to fly our test mission," the company said on social media.
"This ruling is hugely validating for our company and reflects America's leadership in testing innovative space technology."
The US startup argues that this highly controversial technology could have a variety of civilian, commercial, and government applications. These include providing illumination for search-and-rescue operations, supporting critical infrastructure during emergencies, extending productive hours for solar energy facilities, and temporarily lighting remote construction sites

Quite right

Christopher Nolan says people ‘disdain’ AI and the idea it will replace humans is ‘nonsense’

This will be true in most places around the world My first thought will be World Cup (until that’s over). Second will be It.

Every day my fellow human beings break my heart a little more Fuck AI slop

Nome@nome.bsky.social

So @merriam-webster.com has a new game on their shared site with Brittanica - The Loop. Which is a fun concept. But which, instead of using publicly available art, or hiring an artist, runs entirely on AI art. Which feels like such a fucking betrayal. You're the *dictionary*.

A screenshot of a game, the center picture of which is a weird amalgam of marching band figures - one person playing a trumpet but having a trombone slide coming out of the back of their head, another holding his drumsticks backwards while playing a snare drum.

This very day I asked someone if she was up on her tetanus shot (she punctured herself on metal) and she very grumpily said no (she will not get the shot even now) Humanity confuses me every goddamned day

Princess Vimentin PhD | Cancer Biologist@princess-vimentin.bsky.social

Tetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus. We have forgotten how life was before vaccines. 🧪 archive.today/c6QVx

It’s almost like women’s judgement is irrelevant. Like we are children (Also the Luddites were right)

Citizen.Coping@propcazhpm.bsky.social

If a woman uses AI, they are seen as incompant. But if women are wary or critical of AI based on reading, experience, or expertise, they are branded as "hysterical", anti-AI Luddites, or technologically inept. It's almost like you can't win.

I kept reading this as “Thiel” and I couldn’t figure out why he’d care that much
