As nursing homes close, Medicaid beds disappear and healthcare costs rise, more people are being pushed into the shadows of the care system.

In Texas boarding homes, Ottavia Spaggiari reports on what happens when “care” comes with almost no guardrails.

Your dogshit AI image with the name of the malware, a lock, computer circuits, lightning bolts, and/or exclamation marks on a computer screen or a console makes me roll my fucking eyes. Please stop.

You know what would be nice? If there were a national public transportation policy -- if instead of shaming people driving cars, leftists and liberals demanded a system that doesn't force millions into the necessity of owning a personal vehicle.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I haven't seen this being seriously pushed anywhere. Public transit is left to local governments to figure out (and pay for), and a lot of environmentalists seem to take pride in dunking on those of us driving ICE vehicles out of necessity, which does nothing to further climate goals.

People who get to experience good public transit systems tend to love them, but a lot of us were born in places where that's not an experience we've had. Rather than trying to shame people into less carbon intensive lifestyles, why not demand a system that makes that possible for everyone?

The Northeast is under a heat dome. The U.S. remains the world’s largest oil and gas producer. And more than 50 countries are beginning to chart a different course.

“ #Neuroscience journal editor resigns over #AI automation concerns.

The editor resigned after the publisher’s artificial-intelligence system overrode his selection of referees for a manuscript.

His move prompted an internal review of the system.”

OpenAI wanting the US government to take 5% is not "democratization" or something, it's a bailout. OpenAI can't get the money from private investors or the stock market and needs the hole in their budget filled so they are trying to take US tax dollars.

Oh no. Even my mastodon feed has AI slop now. I would really like to understand why people do it. Why give away the power over language and style? Why smoothen so much to similar tone and cadence and words and grammatical structures? I mean, I really want to understand. What is behind it? I suspect feelings of being not-good-enough. But maybe time pressure. And probably many other reasons.

Hillary Clinton wants you to support Trump's plan for Gaza. Aren't you glad we only have two parties?

“PIRATING” IS A CAPITALIST FRAME

don’t be a cop.

If buying isn't ownership then p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ SHARING isn't stealing

If buying doesn't create ownership, then p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ SHARING doesn't destroy it.

SHARING is anticapitalist and antifa because sharing is caring.

"The study found that women who submit resumes created with AI assistance are evaluated as less competent and less trustworthy than men who submit identical AI-assisted resumes. To the evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative."
