This movie predicted everything

HAHAHA THIS STUPID FUCKING COUNtRY.

I miss you Tyler Rogers

I am prepared to go either USA USA USA or HAHAHA THIS STUPID FUCKING COUNtRY. Either way we're in for some good baseball

I hate this man so much and saying what I think should be done to him would get me banned and then some.

WBC needs more color variety. Why is everyone in the same blue

The Amazing World of Tomorrow

We should have self-driving cars but they should only go forward and backward along preset routes. Also they should go like eight or ten at a time, maybe hooked together somehow? And maybe you could go between them and one car could have bathrooms and a snack bar? Still workshopping this

Still think they should've gotten Nick Cave for Train Dreams to perform. All the noms should get to perform!

The first woman to ever win Best Cinematography! Take that patriarchy!

All those trees on stage and yet no noms for No Other Choice

They got Britney Howard!

Look at that dude's coat

It's Michaels B Jordan, Conan

Hell yeah. I think this is the first time ever I seen all the noms before the ceremony

I will throw my computer out the window if it tries to "yes and" me

They gave this fucker a prominent role in a Hollywood movie

god he's such a dummy

Altman's "intelligence as a metered service" captures the AI moment well—it's an attempt at the formal subsumption of ever-finer microrealms of human labour embedded within capitalist production. You already have an underpaid email job but what if you also had to pay the machine to write your emails

tugboat gets dumper

Oops all bangers #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

It's not just automation of jobs, it's that AI increases precarity of the workforce which creates a large pool of desperate skilled workers to train AI to more effectively replace them. And it's unclear to me where unions can really intervene effectively here. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/an-existen...

this is some good baseball

USA getting rocked by Italia

Paying taxes is great, actually, I love having roads and public services and programs that allow my neighbors to buy groceries. It’s too bad that Republicans steal these funds and send them to countries committing genocide and private companies with sweetheart contracts.

my professional field is collectively enabling a colossal moral crime and I don't have to be even handed about it

I'm not even conceding this stuff is "good at programming" any more. your understanding of what "programming" is, in its totality, is narrow and broken if you believe this. the amount of actual *computing* those machines could be doing anywhere else, just for a start, is mind baffling

I know I know everyone's sick of this subject being "divisive" but I don't think it is possible to defend even the existence of this technology at this point, and my patience for anyone who tries is worn down to a nub

It is true that Proton is located in Switzerland and responded to a legal request from the Swiss authorities. But it is also true that most people do not know what an MLAT is and there is a widespread misunderstanding that using Proton will protect your account from US govt requests.

patriotism re-entering my body the second kyle schwarber drills a 500 foot dinger off the british

If I can’t unionize Claude then it’s not conscious, next question

Silicon Valley runs on erasure of consent. Consent is friction. Inefficient and not binary. It does not compute. It’s tech’s kryptonite.

Joke's on the economy I already don't have a job

“I have usernames older than you.”. Holy shit

Gonna change my LinkedIn title to "Artisanal Software Engineer"

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I would unsubscribe so fucking fast.

Congress should authorize postal banking *and* allow USPS to ground lease its land to multifamily homebuilders (provided any project on a lot holding an operating post office includes a new, renovated post office on the ground floor).
