datacenters don't make this much noise. the one in the video is being built, and that noise is from construction. seeing anti-AI influencers try to gin up a boogeyman out of such a common, well-established part of US infrastructure (that powers 100% of their daily tech usage) is exhausting.

bluesky every time a dogshit opinion piece with a provocative headline is published in some paywalled centrist magazine no one reads

gonna throw a curveball here and say the honor should belong to Guantanamo Bay

industries should never be allowed to self-regulate and this proves AI is no exception

I hate sounding like a pro-AI guy on here but the anti-AI hysteria has kicked into a level of delusion previously only occupied by Benghazi truthers and NFT bros. we can all agree AI sucks at art, tech mega corps are evil and it all needs to be regulated without resorting to this nonsense.

it's so funny Zitron is congratulating himself on his own "accurate prediction" from Sept 2024, but if you actually read the post every single prediction he made has turned out wrong and, to top it all off, he said it would all collapse by Q1 2025 lol

I have trained a LLM on the archives of the entire cum town podcast and built an audio AI app to record new episodes with me as the guest and all three of them have just been absolutely hating my fucking guts for 2 straight hours now. nick mullen said I look like a gay indian hamster

the american mind simply cannot comprehend """sodding off to find lighthouses"""

we must all acknowledge this place is packed with, essentially, Cromulent Fuckcrustable Jihadis

a bunch of ppl on here with sexual drawings of raccoons for avatars have informed me: - katie porter is running for governor - katie porter actually sucks now - she stupidly thinks ppl making less than $100k/yr shouldn't pay state income tax - no one wants that thanks fellas!

they say how you react in a dream is how you'd react in real life and last night I had a dream I saw Trevor Bauer on my street and I told him to go fuck himself

haven't checked yet but Marlins Man was in the epstein files, yeah?

seeing all of my coding heros post stuff like this: not particularly reassuring!

From the Desk of Chuck Schumer Of course Kim Jong-Un was a brutal, oppressive tyrant who terrorized his people, enslaving them in a grotesque death cult for generations. But before our cool, courageous warfighters killed him and all those babies in Operation Sigma Grindset, Congress was not notifie

we're experiencing the five words every parent dreads: baby. sleep. regression. for the. last. like, six . nights

article: Waymo says support operators cannot control a car, have discussed this publicly at length, and have employees everywhere, including the Philippines. article headline: Waymos are actually controlled by some guys in Manila bsky dunk tweet: *sagely* mm, yes. I always knew this was the case.

the auto text truncation really understood the situation here

in case you missed it the hotbed of online fascism responsible for every neo-nazi talking point from Benghazi to QAnon has found out their message board was created 24 hours after the creator met Jeffrey Epstein and they are not taking it well

fascists always lose

Anil gets it devastatingly right yet again

I read this a few days ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since. ai slop images aside, I am truly disheartened with the direction my profession is headed. not that I'm blaming the author—he's probably an early harbinger of things to come—but I became a software engineer to avoid this shit.

30 years later this graphic design still slaps

This was a fun story to write, stick around to the end for a speed run through the past 500 million years of climate history

no appliances in my house should ever make any noise for any reason at all. I do not need boops when I set my oven to 375. I do not need beeps when the microwave is done cooking something. I do not need to hear yankee doodle dandy when the dishes are done. everything just shut up

I maintain fb opening up to non .edu accounts was a mistake and is part of how we ended up in the land of minion memes and Ai-generated sob stories.

ah, a fellow dodger stadium enjoyer!

while burping her, my six week old just turned to me and said "the world you grew up in—the world in which Detlef Schrempf played for the Seattle SuperSonics—no longer exists. it will never exist again. never forget what they've taken from you." wondering what she meant by this..?

at cafe gratitude in LA all the menu items are "affirmations" and when I tried to avoid saying it by just ordering "the enchiladas" the server said "You Are Bountiful! got it!" smdh

baby slept six consecutive hours last night. I'm back baby. please ignore all that stuff I posted about the mythbusters going to the Epstein island or whatever. that was essentially a different person who posted that.

Wrote strange a story for @sciam.bsky.social about where on Earth you'd put a time capsule if you wanted to find it as far in future as possible. Maybe bury a laser-etched zircon in Namibia and hope it erodes out of central mountain range of Pangaea Ultima? www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-...

saddened to learn both of these guys were on the epstein list. gave a joint talk on the island actually: "Gravitation and the Laws of Attraction: What the Universe Tells Us About... Ourselves" 😔😔😔

it brings me no pleasure to report that the entire cast of Mythbusters is in the Epstein files. even the walrus looking guy and also the crash test dummy. 😔

judging by my friends' stories on instagram they now let you use Benguiat (the Stranger Things font) for text overlays. this is my personal 9/11.

sure nice of evolution to endow infants with the ability to crack off a 100dB death rattle in response to horrific threats such as "parent gently putting you down to sleep". I'm sure that was lovely when we were all silently hiding from megapredators in paleolithic ice caves

turns out I'm the kind of guy who finds palpable joy and gratefulness in being able to get into my car, play the music of my choosing, and pilot that mechanical beast to pick up my to-go order at a nearby restaurant. this personality quirk of mine has saved me approx $24000 in doordash fees.

been watching a lot of 3am cricket recently, as my infant daughter lies on top of me, filling her diaper with fluids of every conceivable color and consistency. anyway cool sport, I like when the dudes have to run around holding their bats.

can't believe BrooklynDadDefiant! was in the epstein files smdh

[when my five year old kid and two week old baby let me get a good night's sleep] life is beautiful. I am a link in the eternal human chain. I can die happy. [36 hours of no sleep later] i bet when Gary Sinise wasa babby he still looked exatcly like Gary Sinise

I'm sure I'm on a million of these block lists because I riled up the Zitron zombies with my "pro-AI" opinions like "AI is taking jobs away and that's bad", but I'll never check, and wouldn't care if I were. if people want to trust others to mass-mute their feeds for them that's none of my business!

we just reached the 17th

weird, all the talk that filtered into my feed about the nazi tattoo guy made me think it was a republican with a swastika. turns out he's just one of those hefty dropkick murphy guys who starts the pit for the opener and picked the wrong flash off a wall in Zagreb when he was 18

More and more we're landing on LLMs are incredibly useful if what you're doing doesn't actually matter.

I think on Bluesky the "social media swarm" has self-optimized over the past year into something completely worthless. even if I agree with the crowd's sentiment it's just so tiresome to see the same idea said 800 slightly different ways by avatars of fat sexual raccoons

thought she was joking

the "cromulent fuckcrustable" guy would have been considered a god tier poster on here

clicked the Discover tab, against my better judgement. what is even going on over there? who would voluntarily open an app to read shit like this all day long? wild.

tough read, but important read. ensuring LLMs are used by workers to empower them to be more creative, instead of by bosses to further exploit workers, is one of the salient challenges of our time. and of course it doesn't help that lifestyle hucksters like Ed Zitron deny any of this is happening.

the IRL divide about this charlie kirk guy dying is the echo-chamberfication of social media made physical. facebook grandpas used to see his face multiple times every hour. they knew him better than they know their own estranged grandchildren. and I had maybe seen his name twice in my life.

toddlers' self-identities are an underreported source of endless parental entertainment & frustration. for about four months our kid insisted on being referred to only as "Passenger", I assume because I called him "passenger!" one time we played airplane in his crib.
