this might be a result of recency bias but Deliver Me From Nowhere is right up there

we should all strive to emulate Prune, Japan's Most Relaxed Capybara

openai just cranking the Sycophant - Insult Comic dial wildly back and forth between chatgpt models is, at the very least, extremely funny

So if you’re an AI guy who is miffed that we loathe your product, sorry, not our problem. As the meme goes, that’s not how any of this works. Go raise another 900 trillion in funding, make everyone else love and want and PAY for you (you know you have to do this eventually!) and leave us out of it.

i've seen people discussing how the election of a Black man drove a specific sub-set of the population insane and yes, but also it goes back further to, oh let's say the 1860s

6-year-old me when i see a bus

I honestly believe we'll be able to teach a horse to do math long before AI achieves actual intelligence

Godzilla Minus One is one of the best movies of the decade. Maybe century

how do all these AI companies expect us to use their fucking AI exactly??

in spring 2024 i bought a 2tb Samsung SSD drive for $165. I just checked out what the exact same drive is going for today and OH MY FUCKING GOD

this feels like one of those hypotheticals the Biggest Morons in your high school loved to ask loudly in the cafeteria: "if someone offered you A BILLION DOLLARS to MAKE OUT WITH YOUR DAD would you DO IT??" that's a great question man thanks

"our business model totally falls apart the second our exploitation tactics are even lightly regulated" is a hell of a thing to say out loud

once every couple years i re-read this thing i wrote in Dec 2019 because apparently i love feeling insanely vindicated and miserable at the same time

beginning to suspect arguing with strangers online isn't the most productive use of my time. concerning

i'm no expert on the history of american labor organizing, but the number of people on here saying "(X) job is hard so we should just automate it instead of working to improve its wages/conditions" is a LOT higher than I would've expected

RIP to an actual legend

i see Michael's point but we already have bikes and e-bikes, which don't take jobs away from delivery workers, don't clog up sidewalks (ideally) and aren't harvesting your data for creepy surveillance tech firms

witnessed several not-online folks enthusiastically ask a techy person how to turn off Google's AI results today

if he really wants to improve the quality of life here mamdani should just hire gangs of hot women to wander around the city making fun of guys in trucks

AI ruining cute pet compilations is a good example of how it's just stripping the life and fun out of every last remaining bit of the internet

"reform" isn't an option. the only option is ______________

these should result in some fun fail videos at least

me to doug liman

look there's simply no evidence to suggest platner is a bigot other than *checks notes* his nazi tattoo and his slurs against black people and women

looks like the country is suffering an allergic reaction. which is kinda true actually

NYC could solve its budget crisis in like 2 days if they just sent people around to ticket every car parked on a sidewalk

not saying it was intentional but the lazy, boring, weightless, unoriginal action sequences of Marvel, Fast & Furious, Jurassic, etc etc paved the way for audiences to accept this slop

best part of this is it's behind a paywall. you have to pay CNBC to give you the stupidest investment advice you've ever read

Just a couple years ago it was "have fun being poor," "your job is going away, you're being replaced loser," "you better reskill because this is the only thing that matters now." So yeah I'm hostile to the idea and I think everyone into it is a thief and a loser

I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

whether or not this is true, the next big battle will be in getting people out of the concentration camps they're building

one of the smartest moves Seinfeld made was quashing the Jerry/Elaine romance early in the series run and never bringing it up again it's probably not the WORST but the Jess/Nick Miller on-again off-again always felt like a drag on New Girl

it's such a shame the tech billionaires are all morons who can't actually do things because i for one would love it if they finally fucked off to mars or the moon or a floating city like they're always threatening to do, and left us alone

AI is the first product in my lifetime that's been marketed explicitly and gleefully on putting me and everyone i know out of work. it's an ...interesting... strategy if your goal is mass adoption

it's so cool how on every single topic: cultural, technological, political, societal, it's only ever the left that needs to "get serious" and "be realistic" no matter how many times we're proven correct several years later

I'm going to continue to push back on the "you have to ~believe in~ amd ~prepare for~ AI" stuff. Working slobs like myself didn't have to "prepare for" computers or internet, either it becomes a thing in your industry or it doesn't.

it took me a second to realize they weren't talking about the cat

as soon as they download duolingo bad bunny's gonna be in some hot water i can tell you that!

jesus christ KENNEDY is clowning this guy?? things are shifting

i have NO IDEA about this woman or if she's any good but I once popped into an open house for a 1-bedroom 900 sq ft home in LA and it was listed at $1 million, so...

this should be bluesky's tagline

i just realized A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a sitcom. they made a sitcom about Westeros and i for one think that's neat

my main takeaway from ken burns' american revolution doc is that we're the baddies and we really shouldn't have won (yes i know that's an obvious observation but the doc does a good job of really hammering the point home)

maybe it's wishful thinking but i think we're rapidly approaching one of those "a decade happens in a week" weeks. perhaps sometime this summer?

the fpv drone cameras are the single greatest innovation of the olympics in decades

i'm not looking at that bluesky map. that's none of my business

lol Phantom Thread is about a petulant narcissist who's bad at his job and stuck in the past and the (literally) toxic relationship between him and his younger, unpredictable, stubborn, willful wife so it's honestly a pretty inspired choice on ratner's part

wait was this chatbot trained on the data of the doctor who told me my stroke was a migraine and i just need to "sleep it off"?
