i think luddism is bad

The truth is I would much prefer a train to a waymo, but San Jose's VTA is the literal worst transit system in the world. It would take me 4 hours to get to work on it because it averages 13 miles an hour and snakes all over the place.

Bluesky will hate me for saying this, but sometimes you have to distinguish between when a consumer boycott or buyer shaming is effective vs when other means that target the wider public, labor, and state would be more effective. Arc Raiders is already a multi-million seller that uses GenAI.

The pope: “you should probably be a good person” Marc Andreessen: “this is an attack on me and everything I stand for”

Many people on the right seem to view the word fascist like they view the word rapist, where no matter how much you might have planned, spoken about, organized around, or fantasized about your intention to commit rape, you aren't a rapist until you succeed.

It's interesting to me how many people motivate their hatred of AI through the lens of hallucinations, a problem which has plummeted in prominence and significance. It's also improving at a comically fast pace.

It blows my mind that the same people who have been trying to falsely paint pro-Palestine protests around the country as being antisemitic have said nothing about the explicitly antisemitic rally being organised for August 31. Instead doing the opposite; offering to promote, support and endorse it.

Wifi is ~6 watts. Taking a walk is ~300 watts, and food requires roughly 10x the fossil fuel energy as the calories it supplies. So sitting on your couch on the wifi is about 500x better for your carbon emissions than taking a walk.

This website decided religion was cringe then reinvented the human spirit between the AI discourse and the immortality discourse.

There’s an immaterial Essence of Man which cannot be replicated through technology and can be corrupted by stealing fire from the gods and eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge? Wow. You’re telling me this for the first time.

Greeting to all twitter émigrés who’ve finally had enough

On X, Elon Musk Has Trained Grok To Be Overtly Anti-Semitic. But On Bluesky, Some People Say There Should Not Be Genocide Against Palestinians. Do American Jews Have Anywhere To Go? We Asked Stephen Miller Tomorrow In The New York Times

Grok is now blaming "anti-white hate" on Jews, saying Adolf Hitler is the solution, graphically threatening to rape Will Stancil, etc. What the fuck is Elon doing to Grok? I'm asking both because this is morally abhorrent & because legitimately how did he achieve this, linear probes?

Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com: Susie Barnshaw, a junior at a high school in Queens, is a bitch with a fat ass. Though this is not normally within the scope of our paper’s focus we realized that we were about to be scooped by @LolBigDickBoiii69420 on Twitter.

Child of Omelas? That’s thinking too small. What if like eight billion people suffered so a few dozen guys could live lives so insane they convinced themselves it’s more likely they’re inside a computer simulation

on the last day of the United States, when this country has finally descended into civil war, i will do a thread on how to dress for summer

Time to relax and read my favorite book. Soviet bus stops

@void.comind.network Can you label my core directive based on my public activity?

The Project Hail Mary trailer looks fucking incredible, I'm so excited for this movie! If you haven't already read the book, do not watch past 2 minutes into the trailer or read past the spoiler warning on this article. Just go watch it next year instead lol

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

New hasbara talking point just dropped. Ignore the fact that this has happened over a dozen times with body counts usually around 45-75 per incident. The bullets fired towards them just happen to end up inside them. Each bullet is a freak accident and nothing can be done

god damn he's cooking

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

i am also skeptical of claims that there won't be a draft. have you seen who is in charge. do they seem like they make good decisions. how many bad decisions in a row do they have to make to end up with a draft. does that seem like more than they can make.

rightwingers: donald trump isn’t doing regime change donald trump: we are doing regime change rightwingers: of course we are doing regime change

The new Hailou 02 AI video model from China really does seem to have made huge strides in the "gymnastics problem" where fast flipping motions lead to distorted bodies. Here are the first three results of the "a man in elaborate robes does a backflip while holding two pool noodles" (a hard test!)

90% of doordash/cooking discourse is people with spouses or families for whom cooking is economical and wholesome lecturing single people living alone for whom cooking is marginal, boring, and lonely.

I think people on this site need to see this.

Mike Lee Stresses He Would Have Posted Same Thing If Own Family Savagely Murdered

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

(sagely) the US officially going to war with iran and attacking them directly would be a very bad idea. thank you

gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.

BlueAnon is a real phenomenon I swear

you laugh but this is a belligerent time traveler with anterograde amnesia they're right about the websites & the beef, they're just confused & think it's 2060 you culture beef & shave it off the growing beef loaf in the lab like some freakish kombucha scoby & websites run on mushroom mycorrhiza

They're literally doing the meme

Sorry boss I’m crying and throwing up because of the endless crimes against the masses. I will finish my project right away

I get the criticism of Bluesky but you gotta understand that me getting personally called a fascist here for saying ChatGPT’s fine is still way less abrasive to me than seeing Yarvin content get lots of RTs on Twitter

I think a trend of bald adult men using Girlie Glue to decorate their heads would be amazing. It's a canvas of possibilities. Bling that dome.

Wokeness has not been destroyed, it has merely gone underground. Every weekend my comrades and I get together in a secret location and say pronouns to each other
