Why is Trump trying to resurrect Jeffrey Epstein in this picture Just all kinds of AntiChrist imagery in this bit of ai slop

just popping on here to remind everyone that being married is cool as fuck and if you don't like your partner you're doing it wrong

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god

One of the comments to this is like “of all the things to be mad about, not being able to get a credit card is low down the list” and y’all being able to leave shitty men is so important and cannot be done without money.

a whole thread on this stuff, from an expert on the rationalist cult

I move we rename is position to Secretary of Pestilence to line up with Hegseth as Sec of War Real worried about who is going to get the title Secretary of Famine (Trump isn't Death - he's the Beast. He's even going to put his Mark on our money so no one can buy anything without it)

The only other possibilities in my mind were "disgruntled ex-employee" or "someone he'd conned"

the vibes are shifting bullish on professional software engineers

Don't threaten me with a far less anxiety inducing time

They have trained an LLM on Trump's Truth Social posts and are generating them for him now Look at how long this nonsense is. And while it isn't the tell that folks make it out to be i don't believe the man uses em-dashes in his posts this much

I'd honestly forgotten that that email was there until I saw she had a press conference to talk about how she wasn't friends with Maxwell and it reminded me that that friendly little bit of correspondence was there

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We have actively worked to reduce teen pregnancy all of my life and now that it's actually happening people are complaining that teens ain't having babies anymore This is a good thing! More kids are finishing school and becoming adults without having to be a parent

What's going to be great is when Trump puts tariffs on everyone except Iran and Russia, whose oil and natural gas will be free to flow

Parents: "We need more resources to properly raise kids so that they don't harm themselves, others, and the world." Far-right-ass Society: "No. If we continue to harm them, then we get the kind of unresilient individuals we can mold & manipulate. Why are women allowed outside the home anyway?!?"

Politics has unexpectedly hit a special interest of mine so here is a quick rundown on the Avignon Papacy.

Yeah so he is just going to keep doing the thing where we are in a constant state of uncertainty, confusion, stress, and tension because that is what abusive people do and the people who are in a position to address this are asleep at the switch.

If this were dialogue from a satire film just 10-15 years ago people would have been mad that it was too on the nose and unsubtle

the guys walking around in shoes that don’t fit are not gonna do a 25th Amendment

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

I feel like now is a good time to share this again

Really tired and frustrated watching folks talk about how a nuclear strike or its destructive equivalent to Iran would endanger Americans. people are people. Iranian children are just as vulnerable and just as beloved as ours. Iranians have as many dreams and hopes and gifts as we do.

Congressional Democrats consistently underestimate my ability to wonder about a lot of things at once. I have an anxiety disorder: trust me we’re not going to forget about the corruption but nukes get to jump to the top of the list.

The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.

"At least it's an ethos"

Just like the US people were supportive of al Qaeda actions in September of 2001...

News: OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar doesn't think OpenAI is ready to go public, nor that its revenue growth will support commitments. OpenAI's already-unprofitable margins have also got worse thanks to having to buy last-minute compute due to unanticipated demand. www.wheresyoured.at/openai-cfo-n...

we have spent a decade now pretending that one of the stupidest guys to ever enter politics is actually Ozymandias

People wanna say you're washed up by middle age, but the YOUNGEST person on this moon mission is 47.

Alright, take 2! Get ‘em while they’re hot!

American religiosity has been in decline for some time, but the way some performatively religious people have accepted Trump will accelerate that decline significantly. It’s a mortal wound to the credibility of American evangelism.

Sure let's just regurgitate the pop culture of the last 20 years back again like a fine pink slurry used to make chicken nuggets Why not let an llm write the scripts and generate the scenes while we're at it. If you're going for chicken nugget culture go all the way

Remind me again - the concern about Iran is that it's a theocratic state that funds groups that promote instability in the Middle East, right? Every Accusation Is A Confession.

We took a really wrong turn when starting to think of computing "effiency" in terms of human effort (LLMs, "vibe coding", etc.) rather that computational resources (i.e. algorithm design and optimization). Why did the field of Computing Science allow this to pass?

I miss when Warhammer 40k's 'Everyone forgot how computers work and now just pray to the machine-spirit to not fuck things up' was fanciful satire.

It's Trans Day of Visibility so...uhh... Lookit this? ko-fi.com/peachgardeng... I'm totally without income at the moment while scrambling to get disability benefits, so....uhh....pay me? <3 Pwease?

Alexandra is a national treasure, and also a thing I learned here that is not satire: Bezos threw a Gatsby-themed wedding party, which proves that Bezos may sell books but he certainly does not read them.

I know you can stick “Jack” next to pretty much any noun and get a plausible folkloric entity, but just came across a giant in this book called “Jack O’Legs” and had to stop for a moment.

Best case scenario is they all go off to their little underground hideaways and we just carry on without them and don't think about them until we dig them up decades later like a Blue Peter Garden time capsule

yesterday I got a text from the pharmacy that my meds were ready so I went there and there was a line of like 50 ppl being told that the meds were in fact not ready and the AI they were using to text customers lied to everyone and those ppl were taking it out on the pharmacists, its a literal fraud

1. that “Byzantium” and “Byzantine Empire” are both anachronistic terms to avoid the fact that the Roman empire kept going until 1453. 2. that they weren't the first terms people came up with to do this. 3. that this terminology actually creates *more* confusion, not less. A thread!

Not gonna lie, I’m kind of turned on right now
