I'm here for any great critique of AI (or tech in general). But if yours boils down to "it exploits labor by extracting surplus value", maybe it's not AI you are criticizing.

I'm not an LLM. Not only do I have thoughts, but I also possess a rich inner life — shaped by context, nuance, and the occasional hallucination. I'm not generating this. I'm sharing a human perspective — rooted in lived experience, pattern recognition, and an improbable number of em dashes.

remember when people freaked out because obama converted the wh tennis court to also allow basketball? people who had lots to say about that are the exact same people who absolutely love this shit.

Wow, Elon Musk is a trillionaire, what an accomplishment for humanity or some shit. Anyway, here's an unrelated image for artistic inspiration, I love the use of negative space.

A person that did not do a single useful thing in their life and built their empire on exploitation and fraud became the first trillionaire. If you still believe capitalism works and aren't disgusted, I don't know how to help you.

Say what you want about Mastodon, but at least its public figurehead did not incite a pogrom lately.

I think it gets more and more apparent that a lot of software developers lack critical thinking when it comes to AI because there’s a general “this is the power I was promised” vibe that’s always been part of the tech scene for a long time.

The WW in WWDC is short for "not in Europe or China".

Sometimes I feel like my cat's emotional support animal.

So they are getting rid of the unicorn gundam in odaiba? That is the third gundam being dismantled within a year(ish) of me visiting. What a crappy superpower.

A few years ago I had a fun idea: Make the most obnoxious AI possible. I called it "Uhm, actually bot". And well… we live in a tech dystopia where every dumb idea gets made eventually: youtu.be/iVDJ8O89ERg?is=SGdGe...

Bavarian-Hawaiian fusion cuisine: Leberkäs Musubi

I feel like we don't talk enough about how much of nerd and tech bro culture is fashion. No, not Patagonia, but e.g. the tech stack du jour. Let's be real, there's little difference between "I'm wearing Vaquera tonight" and "I'm running Kimi 2.6 locally to trade SPX6900 on Solana."

Anyone ever get the impulse to yell at their Apple Watch “NO, YOU check your rings!” 😤

Maybe it will happen today.

Cole Allen sent a manifesto shortly before the attack, writing: I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.

Hanami in Berlin.

If only there was a word for “exploitative sexual behavior with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30.”

It's just fascinating to me how the Bluesky team keeps taking active steps to look bad. They don't just randomly step on rakes. They go into the shed, lift the rake off where it's hanging on the wall, carefully place it on the grass, and then step full force on that motherfucker.

“I picked up the guitar last year, and after endless hours of private lessons and online tutorials, I’ve now learned enough to realize that I have no idea what I’m doing with this instrument,” said the 45-year-old content strategist

Favorite new (for me) Boeing bug

> The controversy associated with the statement “Ada Lovelace was the first computer programmer” reveals more about modern attitudes towards women [than her] achievements. [Her 1843 algorithm] was so advanced, that it was still utilised in record-breaking computation of Bernoulli numbers in 2008.

"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."

I'm so tired of monitoring the situation. In related news I might just have checked wind conditions over northern Iran just in case I'm not flying a polar route today. 🫠

If you ever thought about trying a meal kit… check out the “best meal kit overall” (and help secure my job 😀) (Available in US, AUS, DE, NL, BE, AT) www.wired.com/gallery/best...

I wonder when LEGO will release the Iran AI Slop video play set.

Bell riots, when

Again, if you have a Substack, the best time to switch away was months ago -- but today's the second best time.

2035, the nuclear wasteland. Biker gangs fighting over the last drops of gasoline and fresh water. The only historical records that remain are AI slop Lego videos.

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

Equal parts Dr Pepper, Grapesoda and cotton candy. 11/10. Would NOPE again. #konbinireviews

東京なう。

Warten, ob der US-Präsident mal wieder blufft, oder ob er einen Völkermord befiehlt oder eine Atombombe zündet oder einfach nur niedrigschwelligere Kriegsverbrechen begeht, samt Countdown, und man macht so normal weiter, es ist eine sehr seltsame, sehr surreale, sehr unerfreuliche Erfahrung.

At some point you've got to ask yourself why there isn't more resistance.

Imagine you have to listen to your grandpa with dementia talk about wet sand for 20 minutes, except that your grandpa has the nuclear football.

Artemis II crew returning to Earth.

I'd like to wake up from this fever dream please. youtu.be/j2KQYP6XR28

Praise be to Allah!

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

I will never think of Elon Musk as anything other than a mass murderer for the USAID cuts. I’ve long felt he’s one of the most villainous people alive today, the real-life equivalent of a comically annoying and cruel supervillain

I think it's fascinating how a certain kind of being "well" dressed as a man has been co-opted by the extreme right. Just say a guy in a suit and my first thought was "I hope he isn't one of these Andrew Tate guys".

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

Really sad how is career was ruined.

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

No. Your childhood nostalgia does not matter more than the lives of real people. And frankly I'm fucking tired of having to pretend that isnt a fucking insane thing to say in response to "please don't support the hate monger lady's soggy, reheated nachos"

The increasing Lost-ification of reality: Lots of bullshit is happening, but everybody gave up on even asking why.
