I INSTALLED “LINUX”. BECAUSE WINDOWS IS FOR MEN WHO ASK PERMISSION TO EXIST. I CRUSHED THE INSTALLER WITH MY BARE HANDS AND NOW THE TERMINAL CALLS ME “SIR” BUT MY KERNEL KEEPS PANICKING. WHAT COMMAND MAKES THE COMPUTER SUBMIT COMPLETELY? I REFUSE TO GOOGLE

This is rage bait but 1 of the most eye-opening things I’ve learned from leaping up a few tax brackets due to luck is HOW MUCH MONEY there is at the top. Straight up unfathomable. Way, way, WAY more than you think! California can afford ANYTHING. YOUR govt can afford ANYTHING. Demand it all!

AI psychosis is just “I really think the stripper likes me” for guys who don’t leave their house

working on a new theory of political conflict

Learning that the epic crowd work guy’s parents are a private equity guy and a woman who dated Jeff Epstein before watching the video really makes this hit different

YOU are not automating those tasks, in most cases. You are begging computer to automate those tasks. A computer you RENT access to and therefore are outsourcing your new “skills” to, skills that could disappear with a platform price increase or outage. Deskilling is absolutely happening.

Yeah, if you worked at Palantir, it’s a reflection on your character 100%. Similarly (this one goes out to the latest TrueAnon guest) if you worked at ScaleAI as a true believer, you have no moral authority to write a book called “Abolish Silicon Valley”. You’re either evil or stupid!

That whole Palantir thing makes more sense when you position it as marketing to business elites, all of whom are stewing in the same rotten information environment that Palantir is

Got this Ed Zitron ad on Reddit, what a massive joke this guy is

This is what knowledge work is going to look like in the future if people keep outsourcing thinking to LLMs

My yolk lamp for my Sunny Side table is really coming along (a small break from the horrors of the world for some goofy decor)

Maybe the Bluesky engineering team should stop bragging about how heavily they rely on AI coding when their app is this broken. Embarrassing stuff guys, your dashboards must look crazy with reply load times! Hope you can message Claude “pls fix” ❤️

That Trump Easter address video is 100% AI, they are so ready to Weekend at Bernie’s this guy

the CIA posts stuff like this so you can feel like you're part of the ruling class by purchasing a pair of $150 loafers off eBay instead of asking for affordable housing, free healthcare, and better working conditions

It’s shocking how the motivation behind almost every single bad tech bill is about hating LGBTQ people and specifically trans people

It’s the future, it’s inevitable, just accept it, it’s the way we will all be working very soon and there is no point in trying to oh wait it sucks, no one asked for it or wants it, and it’s shutting down forever.

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

this is a very bold thing to say -- women can't do this -- about a technology that requires the ability to issue detailed natural language instructions to an immensely powerful but childlike simpleton

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

That’s because it’s not about the worker’s productivity. Having to “correct” the AI is training it to do your job. Every one of these Amazon employees is at best operating an excavator to dig their own professional grave.

me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers

tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse

Damn, I got pump and dumped by the president again?

tonight the White House touched the stove and went oof ouch owie. Tomorrow? The stove shall beckon again

I give up, Claude is conscious. Ergo AI developers must face imprisonment or execution for performing medical experiments on their living slave.

the long, slow, agonizing death of polite society has and will continue to be horrifying to witness

like the answer is: it’s a computer dude. you know human consciousness and computer are not compatible. don’t play dumb with me

“I understand you’re scared of the future,” he says as he drinks his Fruitopia from a sippy cup while swirling the contents as if it were in a wine glass, looking down at you from the brim of his reflective douchebag sunglasses, sitting in his highchair.

"If you run out of arrows, make sure to loudly announce this to your enemies. Be sure they know you have run out of essential munitions. Be sure they are aware you are having severe logistical problems." - Sun Tzu

i wish there was a new type of gambling where both the house and the gamblers would lose

Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.

ai is a rhetorical technology. when it produces a list of permissible targets, its value is not producing targets but producing permission

I am going to need every single person who said that misinformation was a moral panic to feel enough shame and regret that they leave public intellectual life.

If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise

Just thinking about how lots of people in the White House are making money off of this

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

today was the day john mccain finally became president

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

It’s a good time to check the German newspapers www.spiegel.de/internationa...

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

other people can make inroads and find common ground with regretful trump voters, in my personal capacity as a private citizen i am committed to hating those dumb motherfuckers for the rest of my life

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.
