We've seen some shit from politicians on social media here in recent years, but this is close to being the most unhinged post from one I've ever seen.

The city blocked off part of our neighborhood to tear down a building w asbestos. The teen said "Why did people use asbestos if it causes cancer?!" I told him people thought it was a wonder product and used it EVERYWHERE & told him how the same thing happened w radioactivity... and now AI.

They mean *you*! They mean *you*! There is no strictly delineated population of obviously bad criminals that you are obviously excluded from. You think there is because you are you, but the institutions of state violence are not you.

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

correct! This is how capitalism works. An automated "what the market will bear" except it's "what the person will bear" and not the market. Starbucks-style pricing already does this -- except this can change on the fly.

cancel your adobe subs asap and use non adobe products if you haven't already

Sometimes readers are skeptical when I tell them that retailers would rather pay for self-checkout kiosks and product lockup systems and all manner of other questionable in-store tech rather than staffing because of an ideological preference for capital spending over labor spending and, well,,,

Again - BlueSky was originally Jack Dorsey’s pet project to make a Web3 social media / NFT trading post until a bunch of trans furries got ahold of invite codes and started mass-proliferating them to other trans furries and then suddenly BlueSky was 90% queers and annoying leftists and Jack fled.

two of the hardest things ever written are "face god and walk backwards into hell" and "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" one of them came from a tumblr shitpost and the other one came from a dril tweet about hollering at zoo animals the internet truly is a magical place

I’m reading War and Peace, and you know, probably a lot more people would read it if they knew just how extremely cunty the dialogue is

good post

you notice this everywhere when you really start paying attention, and it’s totally infuriating

"Developers who fully delegated to AI produced working code but failed conceptual quizzes afterward. They couldn't debug what the AI had written for them. They had the output without the understanding."

Notably, the statement is still a lie, because the assets were/are in the live game. Every company pulls this shit, and they're all fuckin' liars. 'We don't use genAI!' *people point out obvious genAI assets* 'We only used genAI for placeholders and they're all replaced!' Complete Bullshit.

Hey if youre in the EU you should act on this ASAP, theyre really trying to ram this through

We have enough of a long view now to understand how much of the Silicon Valley "disruption" ethic was about destroying existing economic infrastructure, not about creating something new or better. I think about this ALL the time with Lyft and Uber and the dead cab industry.

Gaiman: if you are in fact, the real terry pratchett Gaiman: and not an imposter Gaiman: like the imposter sandman hector hall in The Sandman, vol. 2: The Doll's House Gaiman: then you won't have any trouble telling a joke Pratchett: [sweats] ein witz? du magst ein witz?

Thanks to @idl3nova.bsky.social for this. Give her a visit, they are great artist! 🥰 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwDS... #Mieruko-chan #Miko #ghosts #ghost #cute

It's a bizarre Silicon Valley / venture capital obsession, because, by the actual numbers, audiences gobble up stuff that's far from their own experience. Squid Game, Money Heist, and other non-U.S., non-English movies/shows do incredibly well on U.S. Netflix.

Thanks. You are the reason I moved here from twitter.
