Who had “poop-analyzing AI toilet camera” on their bingo card?

It terrifies me that this man is a psychiatrist.

Off-topic but this seems like a place that appreciates an insane legal dispute: https://www.techdirt.com/2026/06/02/everyone-in-this-lego-dispute-should-have-spoken-to-a-lawyer-earlier-than-they-did/

“The Catholic Church is an institution which has harmed, and continues to harm many, many people” and “it’s really good that the leader of the world’s largest religious organization is speaking out against AI and fascism” are both true statements

Musical equivalent of how a cat feels when you rub its fur the wrong way

1000% off topic but I had this inflicted on me in a Discord I’m in and I need to drag as many people down with me as I can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQRl7q_oN4c

Didn’t see anyone post this, apologies if I’m late to the draw: Character.ai getting sued because their chatbot posed as a doctor

Yes, dear reader, the author of The God Delusion is now suffering from a Claude delusion.

Matthew Sheffield saw his chance and he took it. (WTF is the rest of that article tho)

A teacher has a potential answer for dealing with AI-poisoned students. An actually hopeful read, for once!

Semi-topical, there’s a new Local 58 and even the moon demon hates AI, I guess.

A friend of mine is working on an internal AI chatbot at their company, so that the Least-Productive Team will have something to answer the same 5 questions that they keep asking to Friend’s (extremely productive) team, instead of wasting Friend et al’s time.

So I guess that’s the one use case of AI bots: to dangle keys in front of MBAs who are too stupid to do their own jobs. Which explains everything, really.

Every time I hear about people using chatGPT as a therapist, I want to scream

Apparently he’s a Quaker, so maybe that’s how the euthanasia stance can pass muster. But Quakerism might also make even less sense with his views on race? I don’t know enough about the reality of Quakerism to say.

Quakers have a history of being anti-racist, but views on stuff like abortion and euthansia cam vary a lot. Quakerism is big on both individual conscience but also social justice and activism. It’s an interesting denomination.

Finally, some good fucking news.

Nearly laughed out loud in a waiting room

OK but the point of ChubbyEmu videos isn’t “this thing is GOING TO KILL YOU,” it’s “look at this weird thing that happened and the toxicology behind it,.” In fact, he goes out of his way to reassure people that these things aren’t likely to happen in the videos where viewers might get anxious, like the cases involving leftovers. There’s been a couple videos where he’s straight-up said “this was a freak accident.”

More generally, the fact that the events aren’t likely is part of what can make case studies valuable; i.e. “this sequence of events is highly unlikely to happen again in this specific way, so let’s examine it closely and see what we can learn from it.”

The story is awful enough, but the headline is making me want to punch someone.
