That is a MONSTER crater. We’re lucky this hit the moon and not us!

In fact, this is SO large (two football fields across) I might actually be able to resolve it from Earth, and I will try! https://t.co/LuRjZBDebn

Max vs. 100 was terrific viewing, and confirmation that a regular person should compete in each Olympic event for comparison purposes. (Skip the preview hour of the broadcast, unless you want to see how dull the influencers come across on camera). Most of all, the performance highlighted how clever he is at knowing exactly what sort of cheating he can get away with:

Ok im gonna say something here that is going to draw a lot of different feelings from everyone, and I want to be clear i'm not "in support of this" or "against it". i'm just saying it as an observation that seems true to me: I think with the latest frontier LLMs, the “music” era of games is upon us

Kenyans Did College Students’ Homework for Years. Then A.I. Arrived.

Thousands of Kenyans made a living writing essays for overseas students. With A.I., the work has dried up, a warning for online gig work that has been a global lifeline.https://t.co/QOPQ9fYRoH

New #Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla says he used ChatGPT to design a custom pair of black-and-blue shoes featuring the team logo.

The AI platform then found someone in Italy who could make them in four days, just in time for the Seahawks’ season opener for him to wear. pic.twitter.com/dyIRuJPaal

Yikes - clearly the AI attached it to a person, or someone on staff tried to launder an AI article using your name

I'd be mad about this, too pic.twitter.com/91DInRC0Le

NEW: A journalist accused Cleveland(dot)com of publishing an AI "Express Desk" article under her byline — without her knowledge or approval — while she was on her honeymoon.

The article has since been updated to remove her byline.https://t.co/bI79yhDwpK

This AI slop is what McClatchy forced a bunch of its newspapers to publish in unison a few weeks ago. Who needs real human reporters when you can have this? https://t.co/PyyzI3siwR pic.twitter.com/Z82Vg67WtH

There’s a move I’ve coined the “Black Mirror Gambit” which works by presenting your company as the villain in a Black Mirror episode to soak up this mid-2020s-era investor demand for, well, evil plots. That’s the playbook.

On the Official Tilly Norwood website they're selling both 'Team Tillly' and 'F*ck Tilly' merch, in case anyone is under any illusion that this is anything other than ragebaiting grift.

i didn't think it could be done, but Google has come up with the most hideous product name of all time: "Dreambeans" https://t.co/rxhtm1S0TI
— Katie Notopoulos (@katienotopoulos) September 10, 2026

("The 'dream' is how the app works overnight to find meaning in the content overload across your connected apps. It then distills what it finds into 'beans' - a fresh collection of stories brewed for you each morning.")

Lol, I love the idea of scamming AI agents into paying their client's real money to purchase free and open-source satellite imagery.
There's been decades of people trying to charge corporate clients real money for open-source satellite data but this adds another layer. https://t.co/eKfEehCvlP

A Cybercab rider found the robotaxi's touchscreen in an undisclosed configuration, showing an on-screen virtual joystick that allows the car to be steered and accelerated by hand despite having no steering wheel or pedals. https://electrek.co/...

Just went to buy @gilduran.com's "The Nerd Reich" on Google Books, and discovered that the enshittification is so thorough that it's not safe to do so - I was very close to buying one that's actually AI slop with an identical title and author name. This is utterly insane.

It definitely scrapped suggestions from insane ultralight/runpacker forums lol https://t.co/CRhI1Gqrn5

Dammit, the AI bots have finally figured out how to solve the "puzzle" that obscures my ARGN email (the contact page explains how to solve it, but that explanation alone was thwarting the scrapers until about a week or two ago). It was a good run, at least.

Someone tried to pull a “gotcha” by claiming I used AI backgrounds for my pieces.

A sticker to place anywhere. Like hand dryers, toilet bowls, soap dispensers, alarm keypads, coffee machines, thermostats, pedestrian crossing buttons, BBQs, park benches, parking meters... As well as staplers, pens, potatoes, bricks, brooms, lunch, potplants and speed humps.
