over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

Bought my first NZ-made Dr Pepper today! Yay!
Sadly my local shop didn't have the sugar free version in stock yet.

Chris Penk getting his new column off to a great start by reviewing a book he hasn't read and declaring that it belongs "in the fiction section". I hope Stuff's editors are proud of themselves.

No one believes Trump likes to eat broccoli.
Sen. Mike Lee: "I won't be a bit surprised if President Trump decides at one point to say, 'You know, President Xi, let's go visit Panda Express and see what you think of their broccoli beef.' I'd love to see that happen. That's the kind of thing President Trump likes to do."

This is exactly the sort of piece I tend to spend ages watching. I really enjoy kinetic art, especially on a large scale.
The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing
Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?”
Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

This sort of thing is why Mighty Ape is dead to me now.
I have never seen this camera, but I can confidently say it does not shoot 5K in any meaningful way. It will be, essentially, a dashcam in a camera-looking body.
It's junk. It will sound terrible. This is not starting "creator life"

Once again, speaking as a professional archaeologist: "English" is not an ethnicity in any meaningful sense. You only have to go back about 1,000 years before everyone in Europe has the same group of common genealogical ancestors. Humans have lived on the British Isles for almost a million years.
The British right has now descended to the point where 'the England team are not English' is becoming the consensus position

I'm constantly baffled by this one. Like, I struggle to believe that people who claim to understand capitalism actually believe this, but they seem to.
It absolutely might work if we had the sort of 'mom and pop' small business capitalism people imagine in a non-specific way...

I'm never going to get my head around RW neoliberalism convincing folk that they would get better public services from private, profit-focused, suppliers than they would from state owned enterprises...
Absolute bollocks.

It's such a fucking weird sales pitch.
They aren't saying "hey, we need support so we can decommission this stuff in a controlled way" or something.
Instead, it's "we have no idea how bad this stuff could be, but we think it might kill us all, anyway we need more money to keep doing it, lol"
