@Pirat_Nation Gotta keep the lizard brains engaged.

Residents living near AI data centers are experiencing health problems caused by infrasound from cooling systems and gas turbines. These inaudible low-frequency vibrations can cause symptoms including dizziness, nausea, vertigo, headaches, insomnia, and anxiety. Because infrasound falls below the range of human hearing, it often evades detection by standard noise measurement equipment. As a result, some local governments have implemented moratoriums on new data center projects while the environmental impacts are studied further.

@Pirat_Nation People still go to websites?

Google has a new system called Cloud Fraud Defense, which is the next version of reCAPTCHA, and has started rolling out to users When the system detects risky web activity, it no longer shows the old picture puzzles where you pick out buses or traffic lights. Instead, it displays a QR code that you scan with your Android phone, but to pass the test your phone must have Google Play Services installed and running. This change has been active since October 2025 based on support pages and old web records, and it blocks users of privacy-focused Android phones such as GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, and /e/OS because these phones remove Google services on purpose to provide stronger privacy and security. The result is that millions of websites now treat these privacy phones as risky, so users must either add Google Play Services or stay locked out. This is similar to Google’s 2023 Web Environment Integrity idea that wanted websites to check if devices were trustworthy through Google software. That plan received heavy criticism from developers and privacy groups and was dropped, but the new QR code method does something very similar in a simpler way. Website owners who use this system are now blocking people who chose to remove Google from their phones for better privacy.

@deadsun_0 Yep. I love the idea of building a world for your characters.

AI creator tip: You can keep expanding the universe endlessly. Music video → fake late night interview → podcasts → livestreams → behind the scenes → fictional lore It instantly makes the world feel bigger and the characters feel real. Like you actually get to know them.

@francolli Sounds familiar...🤔

Spotify, you tube, bandcamp etc have dropped their white hoods. We see who they are now. To them, using A.I in music, film or art? You can't drink from that water fountain, you must sit at the rear of the bus, away from bigoted folks I have a dream We shall overcome

@VraserX I'm in. 👍

I want a post labor, post scarcity future because I want humanity to finally stop wasting its soul on survival mode. Imagine a world where nobody has to beg for rent, healthcare, food, education, or time with their children. Where automation does the grinding, and humans get to do the living. More art. More science. More family. More weird little passion projects. More gardens. More music. More people becoming who they actually are. The goal of technology was never to make us work forever. It was to set us free.

@AIandDesign Now, that was funny. 🤣

Holy shit LOL

@pt5films If you can imagine it, you can create it.

AI just collapsed the distance between "I have an idea for a world" and "here's the first episode." That's not a content play. That's an IP play. The creators who understand the difference will own the next decade.

@iruletheworldmo Wait what? I thought it was COVID corrections, H-1B's, poor business leadership, the lizard people and mashed potatoes. AI, that's just crazy talk.

how long are people going to continue parroting that these job losses are a marketing scheme to appear strong on ai. it's just ai eating jobs.

@VraserX It's my prediction that once AI is fully integrated into iPhone that there is going to be an absolute paradigm shift in the perception of what AI is and what it can offer to a society and I think it's going to completely drown out the doomers and the doomer narrative. 🤞

Rumor is the Codex iOS app drops today. This could be bigger than most think. Codex already runs agents in parallel, uses apps, browses, reviews PRs, remembers context, and keeps work moving over time. Put that in your pocket and your phone becomes an agent command center.

@IamEmily2050 To he honest. It was always going to play out this way. No government, absolutely no government is going to allow technology capable enough to disrupt their power. It's entirely possible the most advanced models will now become top secret for "national security" reasons.

It seems the dream of open source AGI will be gone soon, and all the Chinese Labs will stop sharing their models once they reach a certain benchmark level. It was a beautiful dream and now time to go back to reality.

@Scobleizer @Nick_Davidov A AAA rep told me flat out don't even bother thinking about adding my son to my insurance because it's too outrageous. How's that for incentive to learning how to drive knowing it's pretty much pointless because you'll never be able to afford the insurance.

@Nick_Davidov My kids never will learn to drive. Robotaxi is already serving our house. Insurance for them costs $5,000 a year. That's a lot of Robotaxi rides.

My 16 year old daughter: never ever let me complain about Tesla again, I just drove the instructor’s car and every time I panic I can’t just turn on autopilot, it was horrible. Btw Tesla has PARENTAL CONTROLS. One must be mad to buy their kids anything other than a Tesla.

@madgreek65 I suspect some shenanigans are about to be at play...🤔

She has the nerve to visit

@DeadSunStudios Totally living in a world where anything imagined can be created. 🖖

@digitalcole_ Thanks for the repost! It's crazy how you can just jot down some thoughts and ideas and turn it into a song....well a partial song.

Perfect...

@DeadSunStudios That's awesome!

@AndrewCurran_ I think it's safer to have this all out in the open so that everyone can see the progress and prepare accordingly. If this gets locked down the progress for the public could get drawn out over the next 100 years. Most of us don't have that kind of time.

@AndrewCurran_ The nightmare scenario. The most advanced models locked away under national security. Negotiate open source models/ban future iterations? If the US and China come to an "agreement" it probably means the acceleration will continue but it's top secret and now we're in cyberpunk.

An interesting line in Politico’s coverage of the proposed AI executive order, which, at 16 pages, is also much longer than expected. This is still under discussion and not yet finalized, and everything I'm about to write is conjecture, but it appears the administration intends to regulate US open-weight models. Here are the reasons why this will almost certainly happen in some form. Open-weight models are currently about nine months behind the frontier. Once the big labs are subjected to pre-release screening, development itself will not slow down, but the release cadence will. At that point, open-weight development will quickly close the gap - much faster than nine months. When those models surpass the big labs, everyone will switch to using open-weight alternatives. From the administration’s perspective, allowing this option defeats the entire purpose of regulation. If the government is restricting and vetting models beyond a certain capability level, and people can simply switch to open-weight models that are just as capable - and eventually even more capable as the big labs slow down their release schedules under the new rules - then the situation becomes even worse from the government's perspective. They will not allow this to happen. Second, the big labs themselves have almost certainly been covertly lobbying for open-weight models to be included in any new regulations. Allowing the public to switch to a superior, free alternative would completely destroy their business models, potentially bankrupting them all. Given the enormous scale of current investment in these companies and in AI infrastructure, the broader economy would also suffer "significant disruption". That leaves China. If the two dynamics above play out, the same pattern repeats: everyone switches to Chinese open-weight models, which now quickly surpass both US closed and open releases. This produces the same consequences for the big labs, and causes the same issues with regulation. The government therefore has only two realistic options: ban Chinese models from use in the West, or negotiate a deal with Xi Jinping to impose identical regulation and pre-release vetting on open-weight models in China. The first option would mean China pulls ahead and wins the AI race. So the administration will almost certainly pursue the second. Negotiations are likely already underway, because the ideal outcome for the admin would be to announce that China has agreed to similar restrictions to what they are announcing, thereby blunting domestic backlash. China will know it has the US over a barrel and will insist on compromises. Compromises such as lifting all export controls on NVIDIA GPUs.

@DeryaTR_ @OpenAI And you got the gold.

This is me after the @openai party slightly transformed 😂
