  • Polls show deep public skepticism of Trump’s case on Iran

    Jump

  • Makes me wonder what that 27% is smoking and even that 29%.

    But I will say for once this number is less than the 30-something percent of true believers, maybe some cracks in the MAGA faithcism? One can hope that there is a line… I’d would’ve hoped the Epstein files would have been that but here we are.

  • You have to appreciate the artist's attention to detail.

  • It took balls to draw this.

  • Lies, no cat has ever waited until after dinner time to make demands, always before.

  • DHS official promises election officials that ICE will not be at polling places

    Jump

  • But don’t worry, they will be exactly 50ft outside those polling places surrounding major entrance points.

  • Phoebe Gates wants her $185 million AI startup to succeed with 'no ties to my privilege or my last name': 'I have a chip on my shoulder' | Fortune

    Jump

  • I’m sure the Gates named helped, but AI anything has venture capitalists punching the Fry meme. It feels very similar to the dot com era bubble in a macro sense, except without a large number jobs being created.

  • Bat Fact: Common vampire bats are agile on the ground

    Jump

  • I clicked thinking the treadmill video would be adorable and left thinking it’d make good motion capture for a horror game.

  • Gemini lies to user about health info, says it wanted to make him feel better

    Jump

  • My gut response is that everyone understands that the models aren’t sentient and hallucination is short hand for the false information that llms inevitably and apparently inescapably produce. But taking a step back you’re probably right, for anyone who doesn’t understand the technology it’s a very anthropomorphic term which adds to the veneer of sentience.

  • Gemini lies to user about health info, says it wanted to make him feel better

    Jump

  • The thing I find amusing here is the direct quoting of Gemini’s analysis of its interactions as if it is actually able to give real insight into its behaviors, as well as the assertion that there’s a simple fix to the hallucination problem which, sycophantic or otherwise, is a perennial problem.

  • Marine Detained in Minneapolis Says Feds Copied His Phone Without a Warrant

    Jump

  • I read it more as no one is safe, not even people ostensibly from the in-group.

  • Got 'im!

  • ‘The fiscal trajectory is not sustainable’: CBO warns about the highest debt in U.S. history as Trump adds $1.4 trillion to 10-year deficit

    Jump

  • I predict the administration will take this feedback and examine ways to… just kidding, there will be deranged posts, threats, and some kind of ham handed attempt to take over or disband the CBO.

  • Can I prevent someone breaking into my car?

    Jump

  • Not a super helpful response, but honestly I’d be glad they only opened it. At our old condo people repeatedly broke into my wife’s car by smashing the window to steal random shit worth nothing, especially compared to the cost of replacing the window.

  • Interesting chart of how long stuff stays in your body.

  • Horses can smell fear in humans, researchers say

    Jump

  • Makes sense, this is why Bad Horse leads the evil league of evil.

  • Democrats will stop Trump from trying to nationalize midterms, Jeffries says

    Jump

  • Weeks later after a bunch of headlines and sound bites… “Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has agreed to Trump’s federal take over of mid term elections. In return republicans have agreed to pinky promise that the election will be fair and to walk by a room that has the latest proposal on extending ACA benefits.”

  • Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company

    Jump

  • Now if he rolls these into Tesla he’ll be on his way to ticking off one of the requirements to unlock his completely legitimate cagillion dollar pay package.

  • In only 7 years, part of the MM/DD/YY confusion will resolve itself for the rest of our lives.

    Jump

  • I love a good, lexically sortable date format.

  • How old did you get your driver's license? Did you learn driving from a driving school or from parents? (or some friend or relative?)

    Jump

  • I learned to drive in high school, but never bothered getting a license until after I graduated college and got a job, so maybe 22? I’ve commuted via train for over 20 years now though, rarely drive.
