These are the fascists who wrote and are enacting Project 2025.

As we've been screaming for years—it was never about "legal immigration." It was always about banning all non-white immigration. The Democratic Establishment needs to take this seriously or these MAGA fascists absolutely will enact a full ban to make the USA a white ethnostate like Nazi Germany.

one could make the argument that AI companies shouldn't be able to charge anyone for the service, since its abilities are founded completely on unsuspecting public and private discussions without consent. i could imagine a world where it becomes simply a public utility for the common good. those companies could be allowed to make a modest living providing that utility.

A bunch of the TTS systems coming out now are using voice cloning. I get the value of voice cloning for certain situations, but the last thing I want for a personal TTS system is for it to sound like me.

Is there a set of publicly usable voices out there that can be used across this new generation of LLM TTS systems?

The Finder has this nice feature that when in list mode with a collection of images, you can have image-specific columns like dimension. But it won't work with png images, even though it clearly knows its dimension. Bug? Odd oversight?

Right in Xcode 26.3's demo project, proudly using liquid glass to create this see-thru weather sheet, we see how LG adds *nothing* and how the content is now muddier. Do they just not see what their lying eyes are lying about? ("I get this beautiful view" he says.)

Unrelated: I find it hard to believe that Goddard's choice of "Adam Ant" wasn't influenced by the cartoon "Atom Ant". Just sayin'.
