Extra, extra!! Very happy to see our pandemic work published. nature.com/articles/s4146… Always a pleasure to work with @Anita_Rogic at @LabSkobe. It was a tough one but we made it happen through Covid. Enjoy!!

"AI can't stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations... leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in 95% of cases," per New Scientist

@AlesiaMichelle Winter Olympics!

@HeavenlyRaven_8 @DjsokeSpeaking Yeah, because spanish and french get together so fantastically well.

Feels like there needs to be a more objective way to score this sport One team got placed first by a majority of judges, but the French judge gave the French team an 8pt lead, double the biggest lead for either team from any other judge? Seems crazy anticompetitive 😭

@DjsokeSpeaking Exactly the same thing the US judge did. 8 points lead to their skaters. Would you like to comment any further?

@WandaMothaaaa @josiah_wampfler No.

@josiah_wampfler They were robbed

This program is brilliant. The skirt is mesmerizing. Madison & Evan didn't put a foot wrong and seem to flow around each other like water. What a magnificent performance! The Olympic Gold Medalists🥇 Chock/Bates 🇺🇸 Free Dance ⛸️ 💃🕺 #MilanoCortina2026 x.com/FredUmp84205/s…

@riyazmd774 These were all useless, thanks for nothing.

R.I.P. GOOGLE FLIGHTS IN 2026. R.I.P. BOOKING DOT COM IN 2026. R.I.P. SKYSCANNER IN 2026. $1,412 flight. I paid $186. These 7 ChatGPT prompts quietly break airline pricing:

LO QUE NADIE TE CUENTA Este niño tiene un sarcoma osteogénico. Un tumor que te come el hueso. Hace 40 años: amputación directa. Hoy: le quitamos el trozo y ponemos hueso de cadáver. ¿Eso es nuevo? NO. Lleva haciéndose desde que yo no había nacido. ¿Entonces qué cambia? Que ahora antes de abrir hacemos un ensayo general con un muñeco de plástico. Útil, sí. Revolucionario, para nada. LA NOTICIA REAL (que no vende) Para salvar esa pierna necesitas: 3 cirujanos especializados 1 anestesista pediátrico al menos 2 enfermeras 1 circulante Quirófano CERO prisa CERO mirada al beneficio ¿Qué hospital privado puede permitirse esto? NINGUNO. Porque no es rentable dedicar medio equipo toda una mañana a un crío. EL PROBLEMA Nos venden "tecnología futurista" cuando lo revolucionario es otra cosa: que tengamos un sistema que puede gastarse recursos infinitos en salvar la rodilla de un niño sin preguntar cuánto cuesta. Eso NO lo hace una impresora. RESUMEN: Gran cirugía. Equipazo. Resultado perfecto. Pero dejad de vendernos la impresora 3D como si fuera el protagonista. El protagonista es un sistema público que puede hacer Tetris con huesos reales durante 8 horas sin mirar el reloj. Viva la sanidad pública. Que es la única lo suficientemente loca para invertir todo eso en salvar UNA pierna.

From 1947 to 1979, wages and productivity rose in tandem, driving broad-based prosperity. After 1980, productivity kept climbing while wages and compensation stalled. This disconnect defines the Great Regression, a period in which workers produce more but receive far less in return.

¡Feliz Navidad! Se como Jesús y no como tu tía racista.

Y lo de Calderón de la Barca qué fue? El tío va y en 1635 (!!!) suelta el mayor BANGER de le historia de la literatura universal cerrando el estadio para siempre nah, la auténtica 🐐

How confident are you in Amazon's Tomb Raider TV show starring Sophie Turner? A. Can't wait B. Cautiously optimistic C. Not interested

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

The Hague, especially

Dude your dad was a terrorist

When Republicans say “deregulation” they mean things like “adding poisons to your food because it’s more profitable for the companies giving them campaign donations.”

These fucking grifters are about to loot your tax dollars to bail out their billionaire cronies for their idiotic AI investments
