American's insurance budgets are utterly cooked without the ACA subsidies the GOP wants to let expire.

You're absolutely right — starting a land war in Asia wasn't just a bad call, it's 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀. Thank you for calling me out on that — really. I'll be extra-strategic from now on. Would you like me to get cracking on those 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿?

Amuro is fine. He is normal and well-adjusted.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison. Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

You know that poem that goes "first they came for ..... and i did nothing cos I wasn't ....." Well, they came for trans people, and you did nothing... and now there's morality militia marching through Soho...

ah yes "Amuro Deserts." This was one of the first Gundam memes I ever made

one thing LLMs have revealed is that the belief that there is a magical incantation that will give you what you want is not just confined to pick-up artists and freemen on the land

now rewatching one of my favourite video essays www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAA1...

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills. Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Is there anything better than trans people smiling? I don't think so

slightly overvolted, but limited thinkpad T480. maxed out ram and storage. dual custom heatpipe. loud fan. fan controller doesn't recognize it. secret touch screen. fingerprint reader. she is so loud. enthusiastic. tries so hard. occasionally fucks up or overheats. refuses to die.

kind of sexual to set up a smart TV to be incapable of anything but serving as a monitor. sorry sweetheart you don't need those "smart" features. you don't need to talk to anything else so stop asking, ok? I'll never ever let you connect to the world. just accept whatever gets plugged into you

A proper wizard for 12. #VividShadows 2025 You have alerted the librarian. I hope you have your library card. Went really hard with this one which is why I took so long. #monstergirl #oc #digitalart

all girls NEED one fucking thing and it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this it’s this

Yeah. Affiliate links are one of the best revenue sources on the modern internet. Before the google/fb ad monopoly, showing "my users actually click through" let you demand a higher ad rate. If they demonstrate "My users just unthinkingly buy what I suggest 80% of the time," then this could work.

When it’s more important to have clout with hypothetical defendants than opsec

Yeah this remains true If they ever stop failing their AI generated papers I’ll let you know, but right now they basically always fail on their own merits Usually cause AI just lies and makes sources up and you cannot be doing that in college??? But also the prose makes no sense and is lazy

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

One time I asked ChatGPT to generate some code. It gave me complete dogshit which didn't even compile, so I paste just the error message and nothing else. It then responded with an entire paragraph praising "my" code, followed by hyping me up telling me how close I am to getting it perfect.

Now's the time to call up Visa/MC to ask 'hey, how come you guys will pay for ChatGPT and Twitter subs but I can't buy certain games off of Steam?' Because I frankly would LOVE an answer to that...

wild how amazon and google managed to trick ppl into putting microphones in their rooms by going "it doesn't listen to you all the time! it just listens all the time for a specific word :) you don't even need to yell to it :)" the death of privacy was a while ago

I read a lot of news stories that are some version of "a pedestrian was hit and killed; the driver was not hurt". My reaction is always "well, no shit". We need to design our infrastructure to better protect people outside the car.

the endpoint of chatgpt and other llm chatbot interfaces is a cohort of people who don't really live so much as they are on a sort of guided tour of their own lives, who have more or less totally abdicated agency and responsibility in favor of a step by step template of how to pretend to be a person

There is a reason "offsetting" does not exist in the vast majority of cases of avoidable harm to human safety: it would be laughed off as physically absurd and outright fraudulent. Somehow, in the single most catastrophic physical threat facing our species, it became accepted as normal

when I was researching it for an article, I actually learned how to run it, train models, how prompting works, all that shit, exploring it very thoroughly and uh: futurism.com/the-byte/ai-...

They're just downright awful people. That's what it comes down to.

Thinking about how the cop who handed a naked, visibly abused child over to Dahmer, then cracked racist jokes about the kid over the radio went on to be head of his union. If you let cops get away with shit the absolute worst ones will float to the top. They will vote for the racist child killer.

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

New StatsCan report reveals that trans people in Canada are poorer than the general population, a disparity that is most stark for trans women.

many conversations I have had with complete normie libs, the kind who have a tote bag from donating to NPR and shop at Whole Foods, involve the kind of rhetoric that under no circumstances should be put on the internet people are very mad

The idea of having to use voice command for all my writing/editing/research seems really annoying even working from home alone. The idea of using it in my cubicle while all my colleagues are forced to do the same seems like downright nightmare fuel.

Microsoft: Let us add another layer of accessibility and security issues to your computer, come on, it'll be fun

look at my cute laptop setup ^_^ (ignore the inconsistent colour scheme still tweaking that)

Oh come on, I can’t even put “site:reddit.com” in my search engine queries to get actual answers anymore?!

earlier today someone showed me a picture of their baby and said "that's not even AI that's just what she looks like" and I am still thinking about the implications of that statement

lol this is the shit i was talking about on sora. someone made a really antisemitic edit of a marc cuban cameo and someone was getting jake paul to say “i hate snickers” repeatedly fast enough for it to sound like the slur. those are people who have OPTED IN to letting people use their faces in slop
