11 years ago, it was nice to see .@leonardmaltin as frosted as I have long been about this! Does Disney really think American audiences are so thick that we cannot understand the light brogues used in the original cut of Darby O'Gill and the Little People?

10 years ago today, I got these extraordinary Boston Marathon edition shoes from .@brooksrunning. I miss the days they were this daring.

@julienpescatore @fredgoaty @Baron3121 Dust & fingerprints from 1986?

@fredgoaty @Baron3121 Qui y'a t il de beau, de plus dedans ?

Parade Deluxe Edition ! #PrinceAndTheRevolution #Prince #Parade

@JustRankedPod This era is overflowing with unreleased music. It's criminally negligent that they're so bad at this.

Today the #Prince Estate announces the Parade Deluxe Edition. Word is that is just the album with 12" mixes, b-sides and a full live show from Paris, France.

🚨 Do you understand what Oracle just did.. they fired 30,000 people.. via 6 AM email.. while reporting a 95% increase in net income last quarter.. Oracle isn't a struggling company .. Oracle made MORE money than ever.. and still fired 30,000 people because they're spending $156 billion on AI data centres instead.. and Larry Ellison.. the guy who just fired 30,000 families.. is worth $200 billion.. the 3rd richest person on earth.. he owns an entire Hawaiian island.. Lanai.. 98% of it.. bought it for $300 million like it was a vacation home.. this is the same playbook every single time.. IBM fired 7,800 and replaced them with AI in 2023.. Amazon cut 27,000 the same year while reporting record revenue.. Atlassian cut thousands while profits climbed.. Google laid off 12,000 while sitting on $100 billion in cash.. they told you to learn to code.. you learned to code.. they told you to upskill.. you upskilled.. and then they replaced you with the thing you helped build and sent the termination letter before you woke up.. the company made record profits and decided the reward for that was firing the people who made it happen.

@JoeyBridges57 @crockpics He's in the bottom row.

@crockpics The only reason Jeff Beck isn't pictured is, he's in a class unto himself.

Who should be added?

🚨SHOCKING: MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional. And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it. The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening. This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free. A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action. So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying. Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough. Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation. Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally. The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model. What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?

@DrAllyLouks @froglet80 The fact that someone so wildly ignorant can make The New York Times' bestseller list bodes well for your eventual book!

@froglet80 At one point, Naomi said that vaccinated people “don’t smell like a human being” anymore 🙃

Its also important to note that scent perception is subjective - and there is a virus going about that can permanently alter your sense of smell (and taste, fyi). Masks are starting to smell pretty good, eh?

@MostCrucified @TheDKReturns It's the library, dawg. Learn something.

@TheDKReturns its the library dawg relax

why is there a 38 person hold line for an audiobook at the library. why cant you just let 38 people listen to the audiobook

@crockpics This Hall of Famer. He's written some songs.

This asshole ran an entire campaign calling a guy who fell asleep once, "Sleepy." Now, he falls asleep every day on camera. Every sngle accusation is an admission. Even when they seem insignificant.

Donnie's big mad.

A federal judge has blocked Trump from defunding PBS & NPR!

Can we all kindly agree to let the Ohio Senate know how much they can fuck off with this?

Lindsey Graham even had time to visit the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!

@SPIN First.

Where does this rank for you among Prince's discography?

@FinleyGomez @prince You will be disappointed.

@prince Finally!!! Please don't mess this one up guys, Im expecting big things from this

40 years ago, Prince and the Revolution gave us Parade. The sound, the vision, the legacy lives on. Expanded edition on the way.

@prince Another fucking bare bones "expanded" edition. At this point, you're insulting fans who still give a shit.

Ohio House passes HB 249, making it a crime of indecent exposure to “exhibit a different gender identity” from your “biological sex” including clothing & makeup in public.

How fragile Karoline Leavitt must be if she's gone ballistic over a single unflattering photo. Like this one.
