The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them.
Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?
It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.
This is not a joke.
We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.
Female defectors say the MAGA movement has dropped the pretense of protecting women and now demands submission while ‘advertising it will be cruel and fickle.’
So many highlights from Transmission Live at Wembley but dancing backstage with Beth Ditto very much amongst them.
Dear everyone,
As per the post from the Bodleian librarian below, AI bots and scrapers are putting just about every website under great pressure, British History Online included.
A lot of excellent tech staff are working hard to keep everything working, but outages and siruptions are inevitable.
This one is too real. My parents are highly anxious, fully masking undiagnosed NDs and being around them sets my self-work back a decade 😭
Microplastics have been found accumulating everywhere from our water to our body tissues, but many of the claims have come under fresh scrutiny. Chelsea Whyte cuts through the research to tell you whether you really need to worry
because I keep forgetting to mention it: LITERALLY ANYONE can nominate books for this prize! yes! that means you! you have until march 31st!
"My attacker brought a claim for defamation against me, which I eventually won with the help of Good Law Project. I’m so proud this landmark win means other women can now rely on truth and the public interest, but it was a three-year legal battle that took over my life and pushed me to the brink."
I call it a “non-iron lifestyle”. Choosing softer non-crease fabrics, hanging carefully to dry before returning to coat hangers. (Never leaving scrumpled in a pile once clean).
Just read about this incredibly lovely group 💕

When even the AI company CEOs say “what you want is unethical and a bad idea”, it’s time to sit the fuck down and have a serious think about what you wanted.

EVERYONE STOP AND LOOK AT THIS
I agree that "CSAM" doesn't have the same impact as "child porn", but 1) you can spell out "child sexual abuse material", which makes clear what you mean and 2) if the experts in this space are asking you not to use that phrase and you insist on doing so, then give your bloody head a wobble.
it is really depressing how many people still use the phrase "child porn", or, even worse, "kiddie porn". Please don't. learning.nspcc.org.uk/news/why-lan...
Holy shit this piece is incredible, like the kind of thing that makes me jealous I didn’t write it and feel lucky that I get to read it defector.com/the-sufferin...

My autistic 22yo was out at a party last night until 2am,
"Did you drink?"
"No, nobody did. We all did PowerPoint presentations on our particular hyperfixations"
I wish I'd had people like that at 22. I'm so glad I eventually found my people, (and stayed friends with @mikaltempo.bsky.social!)
In case nobody has told you yet today:
1. You are allowed to rest.
2. Your pain is real.
3. Wombats are the only animals that poop in perfect cubes and they stack them like little brown bricks to mark territory.
4. You are not a burden.

I'm German. I've been schooled in my country's history & crimes all my life.
I'm also a political scientist, educated in Germany, the UK, & US.
As the comparisons betw the situation in the US & Nazi Germany are increasing to frequent, allow me to comment.

A wise and thoughtful thread. The suffering of the victims of ICE and the current regime in the US is all too real. We should all learn from history, but Trump seeks to copy the worst of it.
Hashtag DOUBLE JEALOUS!!!!
Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Today is "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" day!
A Roman Mosaic. Trust us. This is a wolf. It may look like Batman after he's fallen asleep at a party and his "mates" have "decorated" him, but it's a wolf.
Morning!
