i’m not a physicist but iiuc orbiting the sun is actually pretty necessary 🤔

The colors match? It’s true the color next to the Côte d’Ivoire label does correspond with a blob which could overlap with the country’s actual location, but… none of the countries depicted here correspond with the shapes of any actual countries. The entire thing is generative slop.

Jeffrey Graham is the person who’s presentation included this slide.

i see you’re replying to the joke comments but ignoring the ones posted many hours earlier which helpfully explain what is wrong with the premise of your post (eg, this and this and this).

And other times 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.3000004

you could also manually change the thumbnail picture to a different one

good point, i should have thought of that myself. it’s changed now but unfortunately for some reason it doesn’t look like the thumbnail change federated to your instance. setting it NSFW also didn’t federate at first (despite the edit date appearing to have federated) but then it did after i deleted and undeleted the post… but the thumbnail change still hasn’t. so, i’ll leave it NSFW for now and maybe revert if if i see the thumbnail change actually appears on other instances later.

It’s Alistair Hennessey:

After you comment I edited it to add the tag but then i remembered that that hides it from non-logged-in users so i removed it again. If the community mod asks me to i will add the tag back, but otherwise I’m not keen on hiding relevant historical events due to their unsightliness.

them fighting back is really unfair. fortunately the US has fiercely independent journalists who are willing to call them out for it:

“Responsible physical sourcing is not book burning,” ISBNdb’s site in a section about why it’s crucial to recycle the destroyed books. “It is the completion of a book’s lifecycle: from tree to knowledge to tree again."

they’re… making trees out of recycled paper? 🤔

Fake news? On my social media??

I’m surprised that this post is still up so many hours after i (and i’m sure others) reported it, especially given the large number of moderators that this community has.

I don’t know why Mamdani is pictured

the text in this image is also just flat-out wrong: the proposed legislation does not actually “ban AI from answering questions” on these subjects at all, as this post claims it does.

https://www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2026/kristen-gonzalez/ny-state-senator-kristen-gonzalez-her-bill-address-ai explains that her bill is strictly about impersonating licensed professionals:

We have documented instances of AI chatbots providing false medical license numbers to users and documented cases of real harm from AI chatbots providing misinformation. This is what my common-sense legislation addresses—protecting users from misinformation, scams, and fraud. This legislation does not prohibit a user from asking a chatbot questions or receiving general information and advice, as long as the chatbot is not presenting that information as a licensed professional. It would also not prohibit licensed professionals from consulting AI technology in the course of their work.
