("'This was surprising and new information for us,' Ikea spokesperson ... tells WIRED. 'We have not approved the use of the Ikea logo in this context.'")



Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”? Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

I know the headline everyone's running with is "erotica" but "we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues" and "we are putting personality back in ChatGPT so it will act like a friend" are diametrically opposed statements that's the cause of most of the mental health issues

Even putting aside the fact that AI can't do this and will never be able to do this Who would *want* this? Who wants a bespoke personal TV show? That they can't meaningfully engage anyone else with? That no human had a hand in crafting? You might as well tell someone about a cool dream you had.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

@available2all Another report, another confirmation: enrollment in LAUSD is plummeting. Months ago, our own report uncovered something even more troubling: top elementary schools in wealthy neighborhoods have thousands of empty seats--but they’re locking out low and middle-income families. How? By using school boundaries that mirror the patterns of redlining maps. And by hiding from families outside those boundaries how much room they really have. That’s a violation of California’s open enrollment law. #publicschools #educationtiktok #legaltiktok #lausd ♬ Let 'Em In - Paul McCartney & Wings
The article he refers to. (BTW, hope this is real, and not something like this)
