“Elon Musk, among the world’s richest men, once not only denied visiting Mr. Epstein’s island, but framed his decision as an act of principle. In a social media post last September, Mr. Musk wrote that Mr. Epstein “tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED.” But the documents released on Friday suggested that Mr. Musk was at one point eager to visit. “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” Mr. Musk emailed Mr. Epstein in November 2012.”
Never watch something that turns out to be inspiring just before going to bed a couple of hours later than required for your early start in the morning.
I am ready to collapse into sleep but my creative & inspired braincells (specifically those two) are bouncing of the inside of my skull . 😃😈🥳 … … … 🫣🤦
"La transparence nécessaire dans ce type d’affaires sordides et virales entraîne aussi beaucoup de confusion et parfois plus de questions que de réponses."
Nie przesłuchałem wystarczająco dużo, żeby wybrać to, co „najlepszego” ukazało się w zeszłym roku, ale wypisałem to, co moim zdaniem było warte uwagi (tzn. albo byłem w stanie o danej płycie pamiętać, albo miałem ją zapisaną na Spotify, z tym że część zapisanych i tak nie znalazła się na liście, bo uznałem że w sumie nie warto). Kolejność – im wyżej na liście, tym albo lepsze, albo częściej słuchałem (trudno wyważyć jedno i drugie, np. zeszłoroczne Lunatic Soul słuchałem bardzo często, ale mam świadomość, że nie jest to najlepszy album ani w karierze Mariusza Dudy, ani w tym roku).

Kupując koc elektryczny w grudniu w PL nie myślałem, że znajdzie się dla niego zastosowanie na południu, natomiast ma swoje zastosowania.
Na godzinę przed pójściem spać wkładamy go pod kołdrę i ustawiamy na pół mocy, aby ładnie rozgrzał łóżko. Daje to +100% przytulności i można natychmiast zasnąć.
Do tego w dzień nie jest tu jakoś super ciepło - ostatnie dni coś w okolicach 15 stopni - a staramy się nie grzać (żeby nie wysuszać powietrza), więc na rozgrzanie się czy na popołudniową drzemkę w sjeście koc jest idealny.
Zdziwiliśmy się jak z poborem prądu - grzałka włącza się pulsacyjnie na jakieś 1-2 sekundy i wtedy pobiera prąd (ok. 100W) i w zależności od "trybu" częstotliwość się zwiększa lub zmniejsza. W praktyce na baterii jest to pomijalna wartość będąca gdzieś w

Once upon a time, decades ago, I read a story, which may have been fake in the first place and I may have misremembered anyway, about a doctor who charged a fraction of the normal market prices.
He could do this because he didn't carry any malpractice insurance (and made sure his patients knew this before he would treat them), thus cutting the lawyers out of the cost of healthcare.
Senator Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat and minority leader, knew things were moving in his direction in the spending showdown on Wednesday afternoon when he got a surprise phone call in his Capitol office suite.
It was Donald Trump, not a frequent contact in these days of hyper-polarized politics.
“He says, ‘Chuck, I hate shutdowns. I don’t like shutdowns. We’ve got to stop them,’” Mr. Schumer said in an interview as he recalled his conversation with Mr. Trump. “And I said, ‘Well, Mr. President, the thing you have to do is rein in ICE.’”
The call touched off a rapid series of events that culminated in a rare compromise between a president who hates to give in and Democrats in Congress who have struggled to use what little leverage they have to counter his agenda. The deal, which did not come together in time to avert a brief shutdown of a large portion of the government starting on Saturday, is fragile and could yet fall apart.

The deal, which did not come together in time to avert a brief shutdown of a large portion of the government starting on Saturday, is fragile and could yet fall apart.
The spending package needed to restore funding is set to reach the House on Monday, where approval is not yet certain. But the agreement to freeze homeland security spending and negotiate over new restrictions on immigration enforcement reflected a swift political shift on Trump’s signature issue — one that has long been a vulnerability for Democrats — and demonstrated how a public backlash can turn those dynamics upside down.
If you care about being able to read real books created by real people, and real art created by real people read this and DO NOT use the "Not By AI" badge.
It's by AI bros to help them find non-ai content to train on. 🤦♀️

you know what, fuck it, im choosing violence today. notbyai.fyi is an ai industry op to get people to make more training data for ai and i can fucking prove it.
tl;dr: it's actually pretty pro-ai, it's made by an ai bro, and it's directly enriching ai companies by giving them your data
the analytics and tracking cookies from known major ai companies: bing (microsoft), youtube (google), clarity (microsoft). these cookies last anywhere from 6 months to over a year
the "chart" directly under their mission statement specifically calls out the problem of training ai on ai-generated images
the first paragraph in their mission statement begins by mentioning "help audiences identify human-generated content" and then ends with some real tescreal shit about the advancement of humanity
The Not By AI® badges are created to encourage more humans to produce original content and help audiences identify human-generated content. The ultimate goal is to make sure humanity continues to advance.
this quote from further down their mission statement makes it clear that the site is definitely pro-AI, and has yet more tescreal pro-ai-but-what-if-it-replaces-us shit
It is worth mentioning that AI technologies mark a major milestone in the history of technology and the Not By AI badge is not designed to discourage the use of AI. Instead, it is to make sure that, while we celebrate the achievement, we work with AI instead of being replaced by AI.
and the 90% rule, which explicitly allows ai. for-profit is only allowed if you pay them. you have to pay an ai bro money to declare that your for-profit work is at least 90% ai free. dystopian.
if you estimate that at least 90% of your content is created by humans, you are eligible to add the badges into your website, blog, art, film, essay, books, podcast, or whatever your project is for non-commercial use, and, with a subscription, commercial use.
and continues into explicitly allowing AI even more, and their first example is for legal documents
The 90% can include using AI for inspiration purposes, supporting legal documents such as privacy policies (assuming that legal content is not the main focus of your content or service), non-user-facing content such as SEO tags, and grammatical error and typo checks.
their about page (notbyai.fyi/about) has a quote from billionaire warren buffet which is just weirdo shit (warren buffet cares deeply about eugenicist things like poor countries having too many people)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is cool and we embrace it. But when it comes to solving complex business problems, we don’t just press a few keys to generate answers with ChatGPT. We research, interview, brainstorm, and go through a human-centric process to come up with content and solutions that are tailored to your unique business need.
there you go. its made by an ai bro. its full of tescreal shit. its literally not even anti-ai, and its letting ai companies track you. this is ai shit.
