Mildly racist. But very funny.

@CancerGetsLOST @PBTF A dream come true, but through hard work, determination, and truly the best fandom in the world. Congratuations, @jopinionated and team—another year, another positive impact for good, supporting @PBTF this record-breaking round! #lost

Do you ever wake up & wonder if it was all a dream? IT WAS NOT! Kind #LOST fans from around the globe raised $60,000 for the children's brain cancer charity @PBTF via our 2024 online charity auction. You all (everybody) did that! Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude 🥹❤️

@laurashin @caincurrency In that vein, "Parasite"? Or—although a TV series—"Squid Game"?

@caincurrency Ooh, a Korean film. I’m interested in these recs. To explore movies from the land of my ancestors 🥰 I watched Past Lives recently and loved it so much I watched it twice 😍 (though I think it’s not Korean — I think the writer is Canadian, but there were Korean elements!)

🎬 What’s your favorite movie? Looking for some recs 👇🏻

@farokh Aloha!

Sam's Club is now using AI to eliminate the need to have someone manually check your receipt at the exit. AI-powered cameras capture images of items in your shopping cart Computer vision matches what's in your cart to your payment If it all checks out, the system lets you exit without stopping. The tech is in 120+ stores right now, expanding to all 600 stores by the end of the year Your move, Costco.

@kateirwin People still use Quora?

@ayzwah @GoogleDeepMind How, exactly, is Hawaii, the Hawaiian language, or I guess volcanoes linked to this initiative? Is aloha something that you feel is constrained in some way that needs to be unleashed?

For the past year we've been working on ALOHA Unleashed 🌋 @GoogleDeepmind - pushing the scale and dexterity of tasks on our ALOHA 2 fleet. Here is a thread with some of the coolest videos! The first task is hanging a shirt on a hanger (autonomous 1x)

@engadget BlueSky will also now "allow" Taylor Swift and Beyonce to sign up!

@CancerGetsLOST This is so great. I will be there with @AlohaKatie!

Joining us in HI next month for the CGL Fan Meet-Up at THE Church? Please RSVP! ALL details are in this post. We've heard from 60 fans, but know more of you will attend. Due to time limitations in the chapel, we need to know how many plan to join us. Thx! cancergetslost.org/blog-1/cgl-los…

@Katnparadise Absolutely. Only wish we had IMAX in Honolulu!

@mikedotexe @ericnakagawa @toly Hawaii dropped state-level regulation, thankfully. A lot of lost opportunity in the meantime, for sure.

@ericnakagawa @toly quite sad for a lot of people I care about over there. Thankful for the strong voices shout-out to @hawaii for being active in the scene as always 🫡

Banks are gonna keep 1:1 assets like stablecoins have to?

@venturetwins Are you sure half of those comments aren't AI themselves?

Facebook has turned into an endless scroll of AI photos and the boomers don’t appear to have noticed
