    Or...don't use AI.

    Critics suspect Trump’s weird tariff math came from chatbots

    So-called "reciprocal tariffs." There's nothing actually reciprocal about them. A good description I saw online yesterday: you don't have a "trade deficit" with your dentist because you buy stuff from them but they (probably) don't buy stuff from you.

    Tesla sales and production slumped heavily in Q1 2025

    Anecdotally, deep red areas like where I live, even though there's barely any charging infrastructure. But I've been seeing a lot more Cybertrucks and Tesla sedans around the last few months. Or maybe I'm just noticing them more because I've gone from ambivalence to anger toward Tesla in those...

    Elon Musk and Trump win fight to keep DOGE’s work secret

    I'm just a person on the internet, but just know you aren't alone in feeling that way.

    Elon Musk and Trump win fight to keep DOGE’s work secret

    And when a couple million armed citizens who think everything is fine also show up, not to mention the military, we'll just shoot each other in the streets. Good idea!

    Elon Musk and Trump win fight to keep DOGE’s work secret

    Hey man, I was just born here 40 years ago. I voted for Harris. If you have ideas on how I can protest in the biggest police state in the world, in a way that will cause anything to change, while also not losing my home, job, health insurance, family...I'm all ears!

    OpenAI’s new AI image generator is potent and bound to provoke

    I disagree with you on this point. The person I originally replied to was impressed by the image generator trying perspective. I pointed out it was wrong, and that humans figured out perspective hundreds of years ago, so in my opinion, it wasn't that impressive. Come on dude, its a realistic...

    OpenAI’s new AI image generator is potent and bound to provoke

    I'm not sure what you're getting at here, that's an abstract piece of art that was intentionally made that way? Are you saying humans make nonsensical art intentionally sometimes?

    OpenAI’s new AI image generator is potent and bound to provoke

    Yes, humans were bad at perspective too, and they mimicked it the best they could, like AI image generators, until they understood how vanishing points work. Probably some day AI will understand perspective or at least be able to approximate it close enough that we can't tell. But in the...

    OpenAI’s new AI image generator is potent and bound to provoke

    It's all wrong, though. Multiple vanishing points in different places. Humans figured this out a few hundred years ago.

    Texts disprove Trump admin claim that no bombing plans were sent to reporter

    Yeah, I thought about that too, I was too quick to reply, sorry for the knee-jerk reaction. I was thinking about Hegseth et al sharing classified intel with each other in a non-approved channel, not that they shared it with the journalist who may not have clearance.

    Texts disprove Trump admin claim that no bombing plans were sent to reporter

    What? I shot someone but claimed it wasn't murder, even though I planned and executed the murder, but because I said my intent wasn't murder, I didn't murder someone? In what world are down-to-the-minute operational details, and updates, not classified? I suppose you could argue they didn't...

    Genetic testing company 23andMe declares bankruptcy

    Oh, my bad, my eyes saw "dildo of consequences" but my brain just read "dildo." It's been a long morning (no pun intended)

    Genetic testing company 23andMe declares bankruptcy

    You didn't encounter those things with COVID tests? The swab usually goes in there (it has some liquid) and then that is dripped onto the test wafer thing.

    FCC chairman Brendan Carr starts granting telecom lobby’s wish list

    As a leftist living in a deep red state, this attitude is not productive, imo. Please don't tell me I can just move. I get it, we're all mad at Republicans right now, but I think we should be forward-thinking when possible. Rural areas getting cut off from the internet (information) and...

    46,000 Cybertrucks recalled to stop trim from flying off, causing crashes

    I don’t know the original source of this video, but I saw it last week and it also seems like a glue problem View: https://bsky.app/profile/junlper.beer/post/3lkdvmjhli225

    Anti-vaccine group founded by RFK Jr. weaponizes child’s measles death

    I cynically want to know if the family got paid for the interview. The dad spouting the same "measles strengthens your immune system" bullshit that RFK Jr said (last week?) really makes me think they were prepped. Or that is just a commonly held belief in anti-vax circles.

    DOT must not give Tesla or other automakers a free pass, advocates say

    He did also test ADAS in a Lexus with LiDAR and it stopped immediately. EDIT: here's the actual video, thanks other commenters View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJL3htsDyQ
