You know AI would not be so bad if it was forced to only provide the verified truth not just what you would like it to be, but that would not bring in as much money for the sick, twisted fucks running it. So it will be bad. Really, really bad.

This is the absolute best I've heard/seen in a long while! youtube.com/watch?v=v49P...

One thing I did not hear anyone raise to Pam Bondi that I would have asked was “Madam ex AG, who was in charge of Todd Blanche when he was sweet dealing with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell?”

"When we use AI ... we lose the most important part of the writing process: thinking." I don't use AI for this reason. E.g., when writing up a research manuscript, the goal is to publish, but the writing process represents an intellectual review of the project. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

@brianphillips.lol captures the problem with AI perfectly. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he is trying to kill me with an axe.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Anyone looking for an uplifting story about an American fighting big money and monopolies should watch the Netflix series on Theodore Roosevelt. It is remarkably opportune. The broligarchs are the JP Morgans and Rockefellers.

I think we are rapidly approaching a point where AI needs to be actively boycotted and heavily regulated. Not just to protect good jobs, but to protect the environment, to protect against rising energy costs, and to protect the species.

It took me way too long to realize that the reason Democrats get accused of all bad things MAGA Republicans actually do is that no one expects MAGA Republicans to be decent people. So it is not news if they behave badly.

I avoid AI tools because thinking is supposed to be hard. It’s what makes us human | Wendy Liu

I am getting more and more convinced AI is the new opium. It will lure us in with promises of endless sloth and cheap labor in exchange for surrendering the one quality that sets us apart from the animals. It is also the most efficient tool ever to transfer wealth to the very rich. Caveat emptor .

Creating safe seats is undemocratic but so is creating majority black seats as opposing voters get no voice. Extreme gerrymandering is worse as it deprives even larger groups of voters of representation. It undermines the very idea of direct representation. Proportional representation is the way.

Listening to @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social focus groups I get infuriated. These people are so incredibly stupid, bigoted, easily manipulated, and misinformed it hurts. Maybe that is why originally only rich people were allowed to vote. Ironically it is we who care for them more than Trump.

I was lucky to write the lead article for a special issue of Academe on AI in the Corporate University. In "What does AI do?" I offer a provisional balance sheet of this technology's effects on our work, our finances, and our management, in a moment of rising fascist attacks on higher education.

Exactly. I couldn't have put it any better, except, I may have added something about "thoughts and prayers."

This is for the "Christians" voting for Trump. What makes you a Christian? Locking illegal immigrants, most of which are hardworking Christian men and women doing jobs we do not want to do with families to support, in concentration camps under worse conditions than convicted murderers?

Thought of the day: A president who prides himself in paying little or no taxes while being a billionaire is not a patriot but a parasite, enjoying the protection of army and police, and all other government services without sharing in the burden. He is not smart but despicable.

Trump is a Russian asset. 😳👇

I was re-watching the Goblet of Fire and Dumbledore says something very prophetic at the end when it is clear Voldemort has returned. He says that we will be forced, again, to choose between what is right and what is easy. GOP, you might want to think about that line.

I was watching the Goblet of Fire, again, and I realized that the death eaters Voldemort assembles at his resurrection are just like the Second Trump cabinet. Except that Lord Voldemort is a hell of a lot smarter than Trump.

Yes, but nothing edited out of the CBS Harris interview was even remotely similar to this obvious insanity-on-display. I think she should sue them though, just for the fun optics. @kamalaharris.com: please sue @cbsnews.com!

Today’s Wordle was in honor of the present FBI director. I fully expect the NYT to be sued for half a billion dollars.

Every time I see a family thanking God for getting their son drafted I think about all the players God decided to pass over because he was too busy electing NFL players he liked. Or all the other horrible disasters he could be preventing rather than helping certain college players become rich.

J. Edgar Boozer and Pete Kegsbreath at least can blame their alcohol addiction for their incompetence. Trump does not have that excuse.

Pope Leo be like 🗽🤣 What you said?

Can anyone explain why it takes more than an hour to get 4 people out of a space capsule? There must be something better than “that is what we always do” or “to cool off the capsule”? I am just curious. Also, why does no journalist ask about that?

Israel kept bombing Lebanon in spite of the Pakistan mediated ceasefire because Trump never bothered to discuss it with his buddy Bibi and assumed he would just go along to help him get out of the mess Bibi convinced him to get into. He is so inept in these matters. Or so lazy.

Face it, MAGA, if your president's name weren't all over the Epstein files, they would have been released unredacted, printed, and bound in $500 special editions signed by Trump, recorded as an audio book by Mel Gibson and James Woods, and tattooed on Laura Loomer's ass.

For those still in doubt, Trump removing the US from NATO and not retaliating against Putin for handing information to Iran that can get our soldiers killed CANNOT be explained other than that he is completely compromised by Putin. Trump is now an existential threat to every American, including MAGA

Iran state media has turned the IRGC leader’s phrase “come closer” into a meme:

Surely not! Corruption in Trumpland?!

How do I know the vitamins, supplements, herbal remedies, and homeopathic medicines market is one enormous scam? Because if there was scientific evidence, like there needs to be for real drugs, it would be used in every ad for every one of these fakes every time.

The reckless campaign against Iran will weaken America’s president. That will make him angry. Be warned: he makes a very bad loser econ.st/4bAtZby

As nauseating as this is, please share this. #TrumpEinsteinCoverup

Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation. But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.

I want to offer an extensive eulogy for Dear Leader in advance of his future demise: Overdue That is it. Seven letters should do it.

On the changing civility in the Brier Canadian Curling championship: Cheering for Gushue making a great shot is wonderful. Cheering for King missing a shot is despicable.

Dreadful to think that American soldiers, Iranian sailors, Iranian policemen, and Iranian school girls died to improve Russian oil revenues and distract from a criminal president caught in an immoral mess of his own doing that 49.8% of our country thought was less important than the price of eggs.

I am not positive about AI. Short term financial gains of fake increased productivity will obscure massive dumbification, a complete reliance on by than unchallengeable “knowledge”, and endless algorithm-driven slop for entertaining the bored masses. We are no longer needed. Terminator

people are dying in Donny's illegal war and the demented dipshit won't stop blithering about the drapes for his vulgar Epstein Dance Hall. what the fuck? thank you for your attention to the angriest post ever. big, strong anger with tears in its eyes. sir! sir! link is here: bit.ly/4sm3g9l
