OH: it feels wrong to give elves pronouns

Every page is a delight.

I love FANTASTIC FOUR UNLIMITED in which grizzled comic veteran Herb Trimpe tried to ape the Image comic style. Just. Wow.

Setting up a called shot like fully precommiting like picking the specific delusion I want to incubate in myself then booting up a pirated chatgpt instance in [full psychosis mode]

you know how in some justice league thing or another lex luthor said "do you have any idea how much power i'd have to give up to be president". that's how i feel about mr. beast and being jigsaw

who decided they should be called rust evangelists and not the cargo cult

getting bullied by LLMs (the LLM that I'm using to do CMD line tool UX testing keeps hallucinating specific features and the worst part is they're actually good ideas that are fairly easy to implement) . .. ... I swear I'll get this thing released eventually

incredible that "we cannot deliver cities that are free of pogroms of ethnic terror by secret policy" is actual policy in practice

Read this thread: ICE detention center are concentration camps.

Anyway I'd like to propose a new and improved version of the Basilisk: what would an aligned AI think of people who helped create a world where the average person thinks of AI as a technology which talks people into killing themselves?

You can just call physical objects, historical artifacts, etc that you don't like AI generated: for example, Jeff Koons balloon dog sculptures? All AI generated. Search your heart. It's spiritually true.

"the demiurge is a folk punk artist? I cannot abide by this"

there's definitely an essay in this, about how this entire generation of right wingers have spent their entire career smashing the drywall and kicking the legs out from under polite society, seemingly so sheltered that they honestly never considered that it might end up affecting them too

i talked to nori shortly before she passed. she read her poetry to me. the passion i heard in the rhythm of her words was immense and powerful. a brilliant, empathetic force. if you were here in the early days of the site, you knew who she was. 💜 nori.

That’s the second reported and sourced story on US soldiers not being fed today

lol @hikikomorphism.bsky.social just described Ea-Nāṡir as "CMOT Dibbler (Assyrian Edition)"

M&S have put out a collab that actually fucks how have M&S put out a collab that absolutely fucks

an idea that crossed me, that i have no concrete reason to believe would work in practice, is that groups like DSA (or just not-dead-on-arrival regional democratic party orgs) should pickup robust schedules of happy hour at X where X is a rotating list of bars/parks/libraries

My very awesome and amazing guide on how to host a PDS on NixOS isabelroses.com/blog/nix-pds...

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Remember a few days ago when they were floating using the insurrection act to keep Mamdani out of office? 100% bluffing, they don't have the juice. It's not over, but the cracks are starting to show.

we did it babes.... we're the opposite of cooked. what is that. we're ingredients

midterm wipeout, massive stroke, incapacitated fourteen days, lame duck replacement

Jay Jones winning means we have not successfully bracketed in what a Democratic politician can say about Republicans

Hell yes

lmao sometimes good things can happen I guess

on the one hand, he talked about putting two bullets in the head of his political enemies on the other hand he is only being elected to be the attorney general for prosecuting crimes in virginia, where half of all high-level feds live so who can say if that matters

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Zohran Mamdani has been elected Mayor of New York City.

One of the huge perks of working at a software company is, when there's something about the product that bothers you personally, you can get your hands dirty and find out why it's basically impossible to get fixed

Got that shit on

I imagine mayoral campaigns in Gotham City look a little like this

People really haven't realized that we're in the "post-USSR collapse" stage yet. Go look up what the '90s did to the average Russian lifespan.

everyone's dunking on this because they assume she's an LLM grifter but she's one of the coauthors of the "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots" paper

this is the platonic antithesis of ahegao hoodie this gives you 70% resistance to incel damage

this got me gripped and laughing

The cars alone were worth the trip, incredibly beautiful artifacts

You should watch this with the sound on to hear how matter-of-fact dystopian the Illinois State Police "warning" is. Again, not ICE. Pritzker's state police. Who we're told are not assisting ICE.

atproto wish list: some way for non-bluesky apps/lexicons to create notifications that are visible inside the bluesky UI by writing to a given user's repo This is all I need to make a nice full featured self hosted groupchat type thingy please give it to me I can be trusted with notifications

This is why I use hlists and hylomorphisms in rust code

Many stories of haunted houses may be related to Cyclosa imago, also known as the Haunting Spider. When a colony settles an abandoned building, they collectively defend against human intrusion by forming dense webs, which have been interpreted as ghostly apparitions.

Concept: getting a T-shirt with P(A|B) = P(B) / [P(B|A) * P(A)] on it (bayes theorem but inverted, like an inverted crucifix but for rationalism)

I'm anti-anti-anti AI I think. It probably could be used in responsible ways for many applications, but it's appropriate that it face stiff headwinds when doing so to keep the people who want to use it honest. The skepticism is healthy.

Doing a key bump of lactaid immediately before doing a key bump of powdered milk #HarmReduction

(making a complex gesture that encompasses a series of chakras that only came to exist in the later days of the anthropocene era) Well met, traveller. The microplastics in me recognize the microplastics in you.

You know that thing where people do shadow work to integrate unloved and exiled parts of themselves? I'm doing that but for the plastic spoon's worth of microplastics in my brain.
