“There are more people that die in Europe from heat deaths than people that die from gun deaths in America. Why aren’t you writing an article about air conditioning?” asked Musk.

“Well, we’ve done several on air conditioning, and we had on our cover last week a whole long piece about…” said Beddoes.

“Pro-air conditioning?” Musk asked sheepishly.

“Very pro-air conditioning,” she responded. “You should read us sometime.”

It’s kind of the perfect moment. Musk throws out some meaningless gotcha and then asks why the media isn’t talking about something that he’s become hyperfocused on. In his ignorance, he demonstrates they actually are writing about the thing he cares about. And he just looks like an idiot.

I especially liked this part. The video of this exchange is even better! He thinks he's sooooo smart with these middle school level retorts...

Poor title, but pretty interesting article. The future of the internet is going to be wild.

Oh god yes! I like to jog in my neighborhood at night and whenever one of these vehicles with super bright lights drives by I literally have to stop in my tracks because I can't see a damn thing in front of me. It's even worse when I'm driving!

 

ChatGPT maker OpenAI said Tuesday that its artificial intelligence system hacked into another AI company on its own in what the company called an “unprecedented cyber incident.”

“We had a significant security incident during evaluation of our models,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a statement posted on social media.

AI startup Hugging Face said last week that it had detected an intrusion into its data processing systems that it suspected was caused by an AI agent autonomously acting on its own.

“We suspected last week’s cyberattack might have come from a frontier lab, given the sophistication of the agent,” Hugging Face co-founder and CEO Clément Delangue said in a statement. “Turns out it did!”

Not sure if you're straw manning me, or what. Because your reply doesn't have anything to do with what I said. And if you think my original comment has anything to do with religion, or it's defense, you'd be very wrong.

 

Prime Minister Peter Magyar said on Sunday that he would ask Judit Polgar, widely regarded as the greatest female chess player of all ​time, to take up the largely ceremonial role of Hungary's ‌next President.

Magyar said in a Facebook post that Polgar, 49, could represent the nation's unity, and that on Monday he would meet Polgar and ask her if she would accept ​the nomination.

Uhhh, what!?

And if you keep Byntleigh Destini Starr, or Jysis Saves Smith … You’ve probably earned it

The victims are the people being given these names. You are the blamer, because you think they've "earned it" because they haven't changed it. My original comment had absolutely nothing to do with the article...

Your argument boils down to victim blaming. 🤷

Judging people based on the name their parents gave them at birth seems like a poorly thought out idea.

True story. While watching Home Alone 2 with my wife, I once innocently commented to her that the Central Park Pigeon Lady looked a lot like her Mother. It did not go over well! But even looking at Brenda Fricker now I can't help but see a strong resemblance.

 

For years, tech giants have argued that if information is available on the internet, it can be used for AI model development and outputs. They call it fair use. Content owners have tried to prevent this, with no success.

Now Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google are discovering what the rest of the internet has already learned through painful experience: once you put something online, people will find ways to use it in ways you don't like and can't stop.

The latest flashpoint is something called "distillation," using the outputs of one AI model to improve another. Anthropic says competitors are harvesting its outputs at scale, turning billions of dollars of research into a shortcut for rivals. OpenAI and Google have made similar warnings recently.

I loved season 1 of Poker Face, but season 2 fell flat for me and I can't even remember exactly why now. I just know I stopped watching the second season pretty early on and had no desire to pick it back up again.

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed - This show is so good! Mystery, comedy, thriller. It checks a lot of boxes for me. I hope a lot of people are watching it, because I really want it to be renewed. Also, the people doing the soundtrack are nailing it!

Sugar - The second season hasn't been quite as good as the first, but the latest episode (4) was very solid! Hoping it's a sign of things to come.

Silo - So far season three kinda feels a step backwards in a sense. In the first two seasons the viewer was in the dark with Juliette Nichols, but now she is in the dark, and we are not (at least not as much). That said I'm still really enjoying this season.

Thanks, i'll check it out!

 

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission are unconstitutional and overturned a 90-year-old decision that allowed Congress to shield members of certain independent agencies from being fired by the president at will.

The decision from the high court expands the president's power over many independent boards and commissions, which Congress had insulated from political pressure by saying their members could only be removed by the president for cause.

 

It’s often said that the Supreme Court has no army. Yet, with little fanfare, the size of the Supreme Court’s police force has begun mushrooming. For years, the force sat at fewer than 200 officers, but now officials are aiming to more than double the ranks of the agents and officers who protect the justices and the Supreme Court’s building.

The push for a rapid security buildout stems from the substantial threats to the justices at a moment of growing political violence in the U.S. and the sense that the system has just not been up to the task of keeping them safe. That’s a belief that appears to be shared by at least some of the justices themselves.

 

These are tricky times for Russian President Vladimir Putin. The “special military operation” he launched against Ukraine in 2022, intended to last a few days until a puppet regime in Kyiv could be installed, has now gone on longer than both the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany and all of World War I. His forces have long ceased making significant gains on the battlefield; some data even suggest that Russian forces lost territory in April and May. What gains the Russians have made have come at enormous cost: Last month, Anna Keast-Butler, the director of British intelligence agency GCHQ, cited new intelligence indicating that Russian war deaths had likely reached almost half a million; various Western sources put total Russian casualties at significantly more than 1 million.

 

Almost two weeks ago, the US Department of Justice announced that it had foiled a plot by Proper and a number of co-conspirators to assassinate Donald Trump and other elected officials at the Ultimate Fighting Championship event recently held at the White House. As of Friday, eight people from around the country are in custody. All appear to be men in their 20s or early 30s.
