I wish the alternative to technology made by evil corporations was not technology made by deranged libertarians.

The UAE is currently funding a genocide in Sudan and Canadian weapons are being used.

I laughed at loud. These people are so pathetic; our enemies are numbskulls. They will kill us all and still not know hs physics. COWEN: The stupidest question possible: Why don’t we just make more GPUs? ALTMAN: Because we need to make more electrons. conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/sam...

idk as an epileptic, even seizures wouldn't feel this incredibly dull and idiotic

With this world in its current state, I doubt we could do the Montreal protocol again. The rich would build bunkers and sunscreen stocks would be through the roof.

I don’t have any words here for this www.newsweek.com/ice-detainee...

A friend of mine visited N.Y. & went to a cop car to ask directions, when he lean't down & put his hand on the window, the cop pulled a pistol on him.

One of my wife’s students grows collards but always ends up with way too much, so I end up making greens about once a month. Now I have no desire at all to make/eat them for thanksgiving.

This probably has nothing to do with generations of copaganda from TV shows and movies showing police doing exactly that as a first resort.

Former CIA Officer Philip Agee explains why the United States of America has been waging economic warfare on Cuba for decades and trying to overthrow the Socialist system. Why they have placed a genocidal and evil embargo on the country.

A snickerdoodle pisses me of. Lol. What it is and what the name is don’t match. And I was like 40 finding out there were no snickers or chocolate in a snickerdoodle. Biggest disappointment of my life. Well that and the 9 hour workday cause lunch hour ain’t free.

I know it hurts your feelings and breaks your brains but women do need to be held accountable for harm But no If you decide to gain capital through harming others Amand convincing folks that everyone is “jealous” and should take care of you while you’re a lying asshole You should feel shame

Now folks may understand why it made trans folk real nervous when Harris said “she’ll follow the law” as it pertained to trans rights. The law is used as a shield for the powerful and as a sword against the powerless.

We’ve spent decades encouraging our service members (and intelligence agencies) to do dubious and often illegal stuff largely w/o accountability, including not signing up for the ICC and supporting active crimes against humanity. And *now* we’re expecting them to stand up for the rule of law? Ok.

Why is Fightcade almost universally a better experience than the official re-releases?

Someone should probably look into Clay Higgins church. Just a thought.

It’s wild watching both Labour and the Democrats implode in the exact same way.

It turns out that the folks at Anthropic used two of my books to train their Large Language Models. I've gone and submitted my claim via the class action settlement. If you're an author whose work has been stolen, you should too

The weird things you’re seeing in the economy is that capitalists and corporations have way too much money and are chasing growth where ever they can find it, and it’s warping EVERYTHING.

They did up here, but the something changed for a bunch of them so they aren’t as good any more. Maybe a franchise thing? Need to take a second to collect myself, the loss is real.

MintPress News: "Corporate media have ignored a historic match played in Bilbao between the Basque Country and Palestine. The event attracted well over 50,000 spectators, as Palestine lost to the hosts 3-0 in their first ever European game.

This is a request for info: if you work at Lambda, CoreWeave, or any other GPU capacity company, please reach out at ezitron.76, I would love to talk.

the only thing more infuriating than these assholes pivoting to "we never supported this" despite all of us watching them support it for years, is watching everyone go along with it to make the tent bigger or what the fuck ever

Finding out you have another chronic condition when you’re balancing a few is a bitch.

Alright, time to mute these double zz names. I’m out.

I mind algorithms less when I can tell how they work and I can see how my actions triggered it. Meta’s will suddenly shift and you can feel something is off.

Seriously screw these folks that are suddenly having buyers remorse because fascism makes them look bad. They knew what they signed up for and will turn again when they can.

I don’t think humans are so special that all of our non-lizard brain functions can’t be replicated with some sort of AI. I can even see the value in doing so for people. It’s this LLM stuff they’re selling as AI en masse I have multiple problems with.

Modern web design is slow performing and bloated—it doesn’t seem like new functionality is really being added. It’s just slower.

Gen “AI” by its nature has a bias for mediocrity.

Was silence not an option?

that whole 'this country isn't ready for a woman president' line is really upsetting because it shows exactly how neoliberalism works, redirecting blame from issues of policy (or lack thereof) onto a flattened, vague type of sexism in a way that ultimately doesn't even challenge sexism!

It's actually the confidence of a *mediocre* white man, the race matters. And Olivia Nuzzi isn't channeling that confidence. She's channeling a specific kind of white femininity that's normalized in white supremacy.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations She fought for the people of Gaza She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

math textbook covers for some reason:

Finding out your man cheating with a mature lady bc she left one of these?

AI will do to social media what spammers did to email.

A frog should never trust a scorpion.

Disaster imperialism in full effect in Jamaica according to family there who tell me there is now a strong US military presence under the guise of aid including military planes, drones and helicopters. Please continue to support grassroots & mutual aid hurricane recovery efforts as you are able.

This is the exact same logic most of the western world uses to justify the Gaza genocide during the Biden admin. Just saying.

Problem with the ACA is it generally sucks but it’s better than nothing. So you end up defending a POS, when you want something better.

Two weeks into a new program that gives New Mexico children free childcare, officials are opening up about the surge that happened day one & how it’s been moving forward. In just a short time, the state said thousands of children are now enrolled in free childcare, & daycares are lining up to join.

MTG is an experiment in how little it will take for white voters to ignore red flags they’ve already clocked

I’m thinking about scorpions and frogs for some reason.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

With the rebirth of vine, I wouldn’t mind a comeback of macro memes. We all feel like Bad Luck Brian at this point.

Democrats would slide further right since they wouldn’t be able to help themselves from going for the vacuum the GOP leaves. Would they tolerate a party to the left of them coming up? I doubt it. They also like having the GOP as a foil, Pelosi said as much, so none of that is happening.
