CDS written on highly correlated debt contracts and traded by unregulated, highly leveraged "non-banks" who are themselves highly intertwined with increasingly weakly supervised banks is, to use the technical term, Not Great!!!

It'd probably be a good time to watch The Big Short (2015) again if you want to keep up with the bubble as it pops.

Important info about the rebirth of Vine - looks like they're just looking to farm more content for their AI 😡

NEWS DOESN'T NEED TO BE OBJECTIVE, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE THE TRUTH

One comment I sometimes get on my chess posts is that it's demotivating to consider getting into chess now, when a computer can more or less easily beat any human. Respectfully, that's never been persuasive to me. A car can outrace any human, but humans still run track. It's about the joy of doing

youtuber who does reaction videos stuck on a boat while behind on their next video deadline call that a reactor pressure vessel

me: "so i was talking with a friend" you, wokely: "oh what's their name?" me: "her name is Jane" you, unwokely: "oh their name is Jane?"

one might wonder about the motivations of the powerful who are highly incentivized to replace humans with cheaper and more tractable labor, and why THEY might feel motivated to argue that LLMs are Intellectually and Morally Equal to Humans, But Conveniently Only In Ways That Make Us Even More Money

Even if you were willing to buy that an LLM/Gen AI tool has human-like intellect, you’re still left with the fact that an LLM doesn’t NEED a job to remain alive under capitalism, but a human does. morality-wise, surely many would agree that humans should thus be given priority for jobs due to need

idk i think at the end of the day edh is about having fun with your friends and i'm never gonna tell one of my friends they can't play a card. i've let game changers happen in bracket 1 games, i've been hella on board color breaking split cards because like? if that makes u happy we all win :3

People with genAI anxiety would really benefit from taking one afternoon to sit and watch all of Serial Experiments Lain in one go, your choice of intoxicant or enhancement. It is only 13 episodes, and it will give you perspective on how stupid everything is now

I miss professional ethics

I hear they’re going to rally in Raleigh

y'all I miss GamePro SO MUCH

I know y'all are listening to me @thevorthoscast.bsky.social already, right?

This is a lie. Tell that to my constituents who would pay $6000 more a year if I rubber-stamped your agenda.

the extwitter mindset is ultimately about a contempt for knowledge. it was never about "science vs humanities." it is about the idea that it is worthwhile to understand the different facets of a complex system even if you cannot provide an immediately instrumental justification for doing so

The American People are always the biggest boss in this country, and we need to assert that power more often to remind them.

Had a great time talking to @parkermolloy.com about my work on the AI bubble www.readtpa.com/p/the-man-ca...

turns out censorship is BAD y'all (and this is a great thread on why!)

I feel real bad for everyone who's been struggling to care for a delusional family member, watching whatever progress they've made get annihilated by ChatGPT in an afternoon.

I do not think ChatGPT should have the power to call the cops. I think, personally, that would be a bad thing

Just like the Metaverse and NFTs before it, there's a massive corporate push for something deeply unprofitable that's bring boosted by a very very vocal minority of people. This too will crash, and take billions of dollars with it

I would be completely okay with companies sponsoring dudes telling other dudes “hey stop being weird, more isn’t always more”

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Gonna write some brief troll mitigation tips for you all because like any successful, happy woman on the internet, i’ve had ‘em Tips break down into two main areas: 1. Defensive tactics: how not to make it easy for them 2. Offensive tactics: fuck ‘em up 🧵:

This is something that I think needs to be said more for the young people. This shit got worse. Google was more useful in 2006 than it is today. Meemaw and Peepaw regularly post shit on Facebook that would have got you banned from Newgrounds.

“Charlie Kirk in His Own Words” 17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.

This is a great thread for those who aren’t Terminally Online like the rest of us

"If I wanted that, I would ask a junior dev to do it. The results would be the same but unlike the AI, the junior dev would learn something and go on to become capable of doing my job. If AI replaces the junior dev, where do senior devs come from? Who fixes the code, then?" 2/2

this is misinformation and I expect better from you. the AI bubble can be traced back to 2021 when the 49ers drafted Trey Lance, putting the bay area into a prolonged hysteria where value became disconnected from outcomes

All I'm saying is if this happened to someone like Hasan or something Fox would be running a Biggest Hasan Fails edit with fart noises added

IF IT IS FICTION. IF IT IS MADE BETWEEN CONSENTING PARTIES. IT IS NOT DANGEROUS. YOU HAVE TO HOLD THIS LINE. THEY WILL WEAPONIZE YOUR DISGUST REFLEX TO PUT YOU AND THOSE YOU LOVE BEHIND BARS.

We told you. Every. Fucking. Time. We told them. Crypto. NFTs. The metaverse. We told them *every time.* And still, they did not believe us. Techbros pretended to throw a ball, and they run off like a loyal dog believing their master would never betray their trust. They'll do it again, too.

Next time you use ChatGPT, remeber that people are losing access to drinking water for you not to google something.

It says "The President" but it doesn't say Trump.

My prediction: Trump has either passed or fallen distinctly ill, either way this will be President Vance making this announcement. We'll see 🫠

The main difference this time around is that any money that Queen ‘Gender Critical’ Transphobe makes is going to directly fund attacks against trans people! 😖 The main reason she’s doing the remake is because she HATES that the OG cast are all trans-inclusive and have shunned her bigotry!
