I can't believe how flat he is

If you ever wonder why academics roll their eyes at "viewpoint diversity" hires is that when you pick a scholar for their ideology and politics over the actual work, this is the kind of clown show that results.

Maybe I’m just a reactionary Luddite refusing to embrace the glorious clanker future but I think Walmart should be prosecuted for fraud.

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

Seconded. Women and girls are expected to empathize, sympathize, and relate to male protagonists. It's simply presumed we will. I genuinely believe the binds of early misogyny could be loosened in young minds by expecting the same of boys with female protags.

You didn’t “inherit” 43 of my scripts, Anthropic, you stole them.

You don't need AI to buy things wholesale and sell them to people at break-even retail prices without the insatiable drive to maximize profit at all costs. You just need a fucking calculator.

Sonny Rollins, one of the most influential Jazz musicians of our time, died this afternoon. He was 95

Hill I will die on Vaccinations should be mandatory for everyone, unless medically contraindicated and there should be consequences for any parent engaging in medical neglect and criminal consequences when that neglect maims or kills their children

I got curious about this quote, so I looked it up. It's a paraphrase. Here's the original: "When I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on." —George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia.

These are the two optimal types of Baseball Name.

Everybody be quiet and look at this baby toucan.

hey this is evil

We are going to win! This stuff can and will be brought to a halt. None of it is inevitable. Anthropic cannot afford to slow down. It has to grow to at least $100bn a year in revenue or it doesn’t have a hope in hell of paying its compute bills. Same for clammy little Altman.

I'm concerned people think I'm joking about this.

I like the part of the Odyssey at the Phaeacian court where Homer has Odysseus turn to the camera and say: "Now, we've all been having a lot of fun here today, but let's remember who the REAL heroes are---the hardworking bards and harpers in your own neighborhood. Remember to leave a tip, kids."

Do people understand yet that this was never about reasonable concerns. That no compromise would ever be enough for them. They want to be able to actively discriminate against us. They want us not to exist.

any rational society would look at a 63yr old man wearing a bad leather jacket and conclude that he's not a serious thinker

As someone further down the thread mentions, you can only think Pratchett is being lost to history if you've not been to any bookshop's SFF section in decades & TBH it's Peak 'One Of The Dozen Big Name Phobes With 5 Newspaper Columns Each' to indeed not do that but write a column based on vibes

They're always on the verge of "defeating" trans ideology and us trans people are always still here the next day regardless of anyone's ideology.

Why is this just so crazy to read from him. Explaining how the robots are not human. Just spelling it out

A Pope is a Pope and will always believe many things I do not believe, but that does not change how absolutely bang-on correct and beautifully articulated this is.

I'm just getting the sense the winding gyre is getting to where the center cannot hold you feel me

Yeah dawg “mandatorily” demanding that a bunch of sovereign states whose infrastructure your stupid war of choice left in smithereens while also not addressing the… stupid war of choice, is basically where we’re at now.

inside of me there are two wolves and one of them says "well it is odd that people are feeling so down when sure, prices are rising but wages are keeping pace with them!" and the other one spends every day going "how much does this fucking cost now? why is everything so fucking expensive, fuck off"

ah, if only there was a extremely skilled international system backed by US funding that could address this
