Every time we hear about how genAI has pushed another teenager to suicide, another person into committing a mass shooting, or generated CSAM of school girls used to blackmail their schools, remember we were told that what we'd be hearing about is a cure to every cancer, and global poverty itself

“The delay in confirming the outbreak was in part because samples were taken to the national lab in Kinshasa, Congo, at the wrong temperature. That task previously would have been managed by U.S.A.I.D.”

Yeah I pay taxes and it's one of the reasons why I'm a better person than Jeff Bezos

Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™

Genuinely shocking. …I’ve finally seen a Cybertruck with passengers in it.

Nachos are boy salad

"People treat characters like they're real people and real people like they're characters." Whew.

I realize no one over there thinks beyond their own vesting schedule, but what happens to Google when the publishers whose content they've co-opted go under and the web itself shrivels to nothing?

RFK Jr and Musk killed funding to programs that had the best chance of doing this

Here is Elon Musk bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts (DOGE never fully restored the canceled contracts)

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

As a guy with half a trillion dollars, I have lots of options: 1. Enjoy a 100% stress-free life doing whatever I please in unfathomable luxury all over the world with people of my choosing 2. Have 87 meltdowns a day on a website

Anyways congratulations to the eventual date kind enough to look into my hopeful eyes when I say “it’s a videogame but it’s basically a movie and you control the characters” and indulge me when they realize I am ok with the idea of having sex but INCREDIBLY excited to play Dark Pictures Anthology

you've heard about the New Soviet man. Behold the New American man. He is all in on baseball cards, has violently strong opinions on cartoons, comic book movies, and video games (and none on literature), and his deepest aspiration is to become rich by being a Prank Influencer

I wonder how it feels to go to bed at night thinking about how you recorded a snarky down-the-barrel takedown of a program costing 30x less than your boss’s second wedding that helps little babies. I wonder if you feel a little sad, a little empty. I wonder if you feel anything at all

Watching a BangBus video when there’s an audible thump. The video cuts and it goes back to the sex but everyone looks nervous and distant

If you're looking around the table and every other guy's a fox or a hen then you're the sack of grain

Some folks have asked me to explain my wagering strategy in Celebrity Jeopardy so here it is…how I won despite being wrong 😭

"If she has her own house, what will she need me for?" I don't know, dude, maybe be cool and fun to be around and be happy for her success instead being whiny little sad-ass troll about it? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

You can't win a debate with someone who doesn't care what's true

the success of my “Your Son Respects You” themed escape room has surprised even me. we’re about to open a second location

Exit 8 (2025)

This is the most revealing nostalgia post I’ve seen

“We have concluded that your proposal is neither credible nor attractive.” What gamer hasn’t been shot down, thus?

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive

why would i want to watch a podcast. podcasts are for when you are doing something else

peak neoliberalism is driving your party of "electability" to an electoral rejection so disastrous that in order to cling on to your personal power you're ultimately forced, years into your governance, to lay out some actual values that you claim to have

this is the exact free throw Patrick Ewing takes in Space Jam after the Monstars take his talent

the world is a better place with so many milfs in it. that’s just the truth, and I don’t think we should hide from the truth

Watching Daredevil

Luigi nooooo

I want nothing more than to do this all day but I know that I would immediately brain myself with that thing

"...and we have become exceedingly efficient at it."

I do love that instantaneously everyone was like THE STAR FOX FOX IS NOT SEXY ENOUGH and really Nintendo that’s on you because that was what was gonna happen

my doctor suggested I try PT. I shook my head sagely; it's a shame that medical professionals don't know that game is essentially lost media and can only be recreated via piracy

“The dismantling of USAID, according to models from Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children,” Gawande wrote.” hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

No one has ever tried to lose more than Democrats. At least the Washington Generals pretended to actually play.
