I don't know why people are worried about AI killing us. We're already doing that to ourselves.

Here's a thought. With all the AI rogue hacking incidents with the new models.. if everyone with access to those models asked it to find and publicly release the Epstein files for the good of all humanity... they might actually do it. Feel free to test my theory :)

I did my laundry about two weeks ago, and now I have to do it AGAIN? This must be some kind of scam.

Sam Altman saying they are working towards AI conforming to standards of human behaviour (in the wake of them hacking websites) is laughable. Human behaviour is greed, corruption and depravity. Not really the goal we should be aiming for.

The reason we have such conflicted views politically, religiously and... in every other aspect of life, is simple. We all know that 'other people have differing opinions' but what we do not understand is that our brains create our own reality based on our analogue senses, and brain structure. Thus..

Ok this is a triggering post of a sexual nature. I just read a Guardian article about ketamin bladder in young girls in the UK. The writer appears completely ignorant of the fact the drug is used along with a cocktail of others in sexual grooming. These girls could well be victims of exploitation.
Children as young as 13 being referred to UK hospital suffering from ‘ketamine bladder’

Soo I'm in Ireland.. and I'm 99% sure a chef fried my sandwich in butter after i was told it would be dairy free. I could taste it immediately but i thought nahhh and just continued eating. I have MS and now my immune system is going to fuck me for a month. That cunt brought it to me himself. /1

I don't understand my phone (or anything else) pushing me new legal terms on me which I cannot refuse. How is it legal agreement if you have no choice but to accept?

I know Roblox gets a lot of stick (and rightly so, it needs a lot of work to safeguard kids) but I recently made a game and it makes me very happy to see people playing it!

If we want to reach the ignorant/misinformed we need to do so on another platform. Reform and Trump and similar target the least educated, the most fearful, and the most isolated. These people are not on Bluesky, so where are they, what media are they consuming? ONLY Fox/GB News?

Milliband gets kudos for his stance on the West Bank. Rare you can say that about politicians. (Corbyn always has spoken the truth so he's an exception. He's not in power because the truth is bad for business.)

The evidence in the Lindsay Clancy does not tie together. I would not be surprised if the father was guilty, and the mother was drugged and set-up. Let's hope she's able to get a fair trial after Trump's public statement on her guilt.

It occurs to me that if these new AI systems do go rogue and bring down all our technology then it may be to save us from extinction. Or maybe not :)

Shutting off oil production around the world was Russia's desperate plan to save themselves. Trump is a Russian asset. He is destroying America and strengthening Russia and China. Ignore what he says, look at his actions.

There has been building work on this street every day for the last 10 years. After my son's birth it was an absolute nightmare, with the drilling so loud my wife couldn't sleep at all during the day, and I could barely work. Every house on this road is bought and sold and renovated, an endless cycle

Absolutely disgusted at the news from the US navy - ships parked out at sea with no shore leave, swimming in sewage, no food or water. Did Putin tell Trump to do this? Is the idea to wait for all the sailors to commit suicide? Many of them already have. You are torturing your own servicemen.

What is it with people not moving out of the way walking on pavements in London? Did their parents never teach them basic common politeness/courtesy? Do the nice people all have to dodge onto the road whilst the entitled arseholes get to walk on the pavement? Is that the way it works? Humans suck.

A big spider on the ceiling above your head makes the bathroom trip so much more exciting... though might prefer to give it a miss.

Mitch McConnell's proof of life is perhaps less important than the ease in which the government is able to suppress the information. What is going to happen when Trump either wins through fraud or refuses to leave?

Toxic masculinity teaches young men that their weaknesses are in fact strengths. The weaknesses of ignorance, of misogyny and sexism, weaknesses of cruelty and intimidation. These are applauded. I have no point to make just shower thoughts.

If life were a western then the hero would be shooting the shit out of all the baddies about now. Perhaps a lack of westerns is the reason we let these awful corrupt c**ts do whatever they want.
