News

Discussions about current events and what's happening around the world. Not for crypto news.

The North Star for the /news channel is being able to successfully curate the interesting and breaking US + World news stories that you’d normally have to check your news app for. We’re not even close to hitting that goal. If you’re interested in contributing (sporadically is okay!), please reply to this cast. The only taboo topic is crypto. There are hundreds of channels that are better fitted for crypto-specific news.

I'm excited for our AI overlords. Recent tests by independent researchers, as well as one major AI developer, have shown that several advanced AI models will act to ensure their self-preservation when they are confronted with the prospect of their own demise — even if it takes sabotaging shutdown commands, blackmailing engineers or copying themselves to external servers without permission. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/far-will-ai-go-defend-survival-rcna209609?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma&taid=683ccd8c2e9f3e00010618dc&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

'The psychic services industry generated an estimated $2.3 billion in revenue in 2024 and employed 105,000 people.' I'm in the wrong business 😁 https://apnews.com/article/astrology-tarot-fortune-telling-psychics-41a815371e107ddef503910eaa9d8378

Is the USS Harry Truman cursed or something? It collided with a merchant vessel in February, leading to the dismissal of the commanding officer. Then last month it lost an F/A-18 Super Hornet, which fell into the sea during a hard ship maneuver to evade Houthi fire. And now a second F/A-18 fell into the drink after a failure of the arresting system.

Hey, I like Dogecoin, it's a silly fun meme, but for the past few days my Google News feed has been shoving these shameless liquidity grabs to the top of the feed, and it's kind of infuriating. Google News is such trash, yet somehow everything else is slightly worse in various ways, so I keep coming back.
