🪦😢🎆🎇

it really is something how obviously Charlie Kirk's wife did not actually give a shit about him lol. i know everyone grieves differently but damn

"Australia's Silicon Valley set to explode by 2030" you get a silicon valley when there's cold war levels of sci/tech funding splashing about without that you just get tech spivs saying you'll get magic if you just give them all your money spoiler, turns out you can't cargo cult a silicon valley

Is the rapture even in the bible or is it just an unathorised expanded universe fanfic lol

the numbers are up, but several major economies appear to be in something functionally resembling a depression i realise technical definitions exist for reasons, but also they're failing to capture whatever's going on here like how biden's numbers were objectively good but also insufficient

Hey theonion.com/grandmother-...

only one sort of person takes this as a death threat, and they work in @safety.bsky.app

if you look at paragraph 17 of section 3246, line 136748 of the bluesky rules, your account is now permanently banned

Why use an actual AI-generated character when you can hire an actor in front of a green screen cheaper? This story about Albania's #pivot-to-ai is even more bizarre than I originally thought.

bsky corp is crypto bros, i'm sure they'll have no problem with dead Charlie Kirk meme coins www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

See the bright lights of Spray, October 2025. Tickets are like a tenner or something - an absolute bargain for this calibre of entertainment. snd.click/@sprayontour

This is best understood by recognising that this isn’t because *the public* have been wildly radicalising themselves to the far right for well over a decade. It’s politicians and media figures who have been roasting their own brains and egging each other on, with results that are all around us.

learning that a lot of you live in the bay area tonight. $jtightpants1, fat cats

Now and Then by the Beatles. If the Beatles didn’t think a song was worth finishing I’m not interested in ChatGPT deciding to finish it for them.

In #cryptocurrency news, either Tether's revenues are 25% higher than IBM's, or Tether is fraudulent. #crypto

hadn't heard this before. FUCKING HELL that's bad. Wire ripoff with vocals from an Australian late '70s new wave band trying to be frightening in a mannered way

Can’t Stand me Now by the Libertines. The Libertines are the music press equivalent of Brexit. They know they were wrong to impose this shit on us but they can’t back down. Dodgy windows cunt.

Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke. Russell Brand New Heavies. Utterly vile.

Parklife by Blur. Like watching your mum do blackface.

I'll give this a go. One like = one bitch about a song

(Niche one) Nice Age my Yellow Magic Orchestra. This song makes my skin crawl. I only hope that Yukihiro Takahashi didn’t know what he was singing because these are the sort of lyrics that should provoke a hard drive check.

damn i'm annoyed i didn't find this video in time to include it in Saturday's vid

Oxford has been around since 1096. Imagine tossing almost a thousand years of academic reputation into the garbage, setting it on fire, and then pissing it out over a useless fucking plagiarism machine what loses billions of dollars a year telling people to kill themselves.

Kaparthy must answer for his crimes.

In retrospect, if we were trying to build a super-intelligence, it might have been a mistake to train it on the collected works of dumbfucks.

Die Schaufeln und Spitzhacken des AI-Booms kommen also nicht von NVIDIA, sondern von den Drogenkartellen 📈

I had two managers at work chortling about how ChatGPT sounded EXACTLY like them and at no point did a single one of their neurons fire and make them go "uh oh"

Just wanna say that I've been calling out QC as the next bubble for quite some time now, ofc @davidgerard.co.uk is far more eloquent than me for sure: youtu.be/P2y2fX4YNKw

Ya know, if this were a Batman comic, the Joker’s greatest and most profitable caper would be additives to the country’s cocaine supply: $10 million per person per week, or every Silicon Valley VC scum’s and Dallas’s commercial real estate developer’s head pops like a zit. Levamisole isn’t enough.

Skill issue.

@davidgerard.co.uk thanks for calling this out www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlW-...

now downloading 2 hrs of videos of the worst business idiot glurge talking about AI in the enterprise. the reason business idiots fall so hard for chatbots is that chatbots talk *precisely* like these guys.

Long haul truckers in the US have to submit to random tests at weigh stations. Surely we can institute similar for anyone flying on a private jet.

I'm years overdue getting some Milk & Cheese merch

soon someone will be banned for saying it's good that Hitler died

I'm starting to think I should add "the war on drugs" to my list of things where there's a real problem (Nazi amphetamine addicts in your computer) and simultaneously a fake problem (some guy smoking weed) that hides the real problem

“They will always tell you the super-autocomplete might take over and kill us all” 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Not me, but heads up to anyone on #Spreadshirt. Throw them overboard immediately.

No one could’ve seen this coming

That’s why CS are the most easily captured by this kind of scifi nonsense that spreads so easily on LW and SSC. They have no formal scientific OR mathematical training (at most they took automata theory) to encourage skepticism and they are easily flattered by visions of the world that center CS

Something I keep pointing out is that CS do not actually train in science. Go look at Berkeley, MIT, Stanford CS degree requirements. They never take lab classes, they never actually practice the scientific method as epistemology. They literally do not know how to think in a scientific way

I wonder how many actual mods they have and how many “mods” (chatbots, amazon mechanical turkers, etc) they have making these silly calls while Aaron and Jay take turns running interference for the bad calls

And the kind of person who interprets the photograph of Mussolini hanging as a death threat? Should.
