The first ‘Copilot’ got coded by a guy at GitHub. Then he got handcuffed by cops for strangling a woman

Turns out she wasn’t the first he dated and strangled. Others posted their experience

Alex Graveley is his name. He now works at UFO.ai

See (1) his face (2) arrest warrant (3) thread on Copilot

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H?

The jury is out.

Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

the Globe article was perfect for the fascists because it got a lot of people agreeing with their premise that the fascism is a necessary and proportionate response to the "excesses" of the left. Those "excesses" amounting to a few Instagram comments on a small bar's instagram page was irrelevant.
As someone who still wears a mask in a lot of situations (incl. Medical offices, shopping, and shared transit of all kinds), seeing us be the butt of jokes over and over this week has been a lot.

That Boston Globe piece really turned a lot of marginalized groups into, um, clowns.

you all gleefully jumped at the opportunity to mulch queer PoC, you shall not make excuses for it
The Last Ditch lesbian bar mask requirement story was the topic of Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog's terf ass podcast on September 17th last week.

Seems likely this is where the Globe is getting the content for the "viral story". Nice work everyone, great media literacy skills.

the reason we're hearing about their drama at all is because of Jesse Singal, a virulent TERF who is one of the individuals most responsible for the country's hard right turn on trans rights. I don't personally believe that having a zoom session you participated in being shared as an incentive to

Other part is someone who is in that community or adjacent wanted this person to be targeted and reached out Jesse Singal in order to do so and like clockwork everyone reacted exactly the way they desired.
What a surprise, the organizers of the covid cautious dyke bar hated the article, rejected its framing, and is defending their covid cautious patrons and performers. Anyone who joined in on the viral harassment campaign started by Jesse Singal wanna say oops or…?

So who wants to bet at this point that Jesse Singal has connections with Shadman?

I wouldn't be shocked given his connections with various creepers, and how gullible people are quick to fall for the lies online.

Just gonna say in 24 hours I have not seen a single apology at any level by anyone who used the article as an excuse to bash Covid cautious people or queer people as a whole. I have not seen a word from people who gleefully referred to disabled people as “wreckers”. Not one single oops.

people talk about "media literacy" usually in the context of "needing the villain to look into the camera and tell you they're bad," but it goes the other way too--people will fly into a rage and start insisting "fiction has no effect on reality" if you DO acknowledge context, subtext, framing, etc.

Everyone hates on the Democrats for being feckless and incompetent.

But it is conceivable that one day they *won't* be. We could very well see a Democratic party become vigorous and effective at pursuing their central values: defending power and destroying the left.

So fuc*ing infuriating and sad.

The CDC used to be the crown jewel of the world's scientific firmament.

Other countries came to us for help fighting deadly diseases. Its disease detectives learned what caused illness and helped change practices to prevent them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

The agency is literally getting people killed with measles and food parasites, also preventable, so okay let's everyone trust them with deciding acceptable risks
"Why the CDC edited a key Covid metric, and what it says about the state of the virus"

The CDC raised its COVID wastewater benchmarks, so levels once considered “high” may now be labelled “moderate.” The agency says the change is intended to better reflect the current risk of COVID transmission.🤦‍♂️
