Do you hate performance review season and the contortions to make sure you only get the minimum cost of living adjustment, if that? AI is about to make it so, so much worse… youtube.com/shorts/jYdXV...

When people are feeling down, clickbait doomerism that validates assuming a fetal position and giving up on big dreams can be very popular. Hence the recent sci-fi authors' lamentations about the future of #space #exploration.

Hey, here’s a wild concept! I try to do a thing and your app actually lets me do it without shoving an AI down my throat, demanding it takes over for me. Can we try that? Please?!

Our new Secretary of Plagues and Inhuman Services, RF Nurgle Jr., is trying to kill us. In his latest assault on modern medicine, he and his gaggle of rat-licking quacks are putting tens of thousands of kids in danger of developing completely preventable liver cancer and cirrhosis.

Trump's second term, animated...

Rage bait, especially of the political variety, isn't just big business for social media platforms. It's also a booming industry for grifters around the world monetizing on global culture wars, with the U.S. being their biggest, most lucrative target...

“No, you see, we can only achieve machine super-intelligence if we start training AI to generate porn. There’s no way OpenAI has been bleeding cash so badly, they decided to create an OnlyBots to slow their horrendous burn rate…”

Ever wonder what food made with hate looks like? Well, here you go…

That was absolutely not the case in North America. The Inca and Aztecs did historically sacrifice humans by the thousands, but even there, when the Spanish invaded, they didn’t just put an end to the practices. Tribes being forced to send sacrifices united with them to overthrow the Inca and Aztecs.

"Boy, my 'I Definitely Don't Love Hitler And Genocide' t-shirt is raising an awful lot of questions that should have been answered by my 'I Definitely Don't Love Hitler And Genocide' t-shirt...”

Even the MAGA Fifth Column is being outsourced to third world countries. But that is on brand for a tech oligarch...

Big Tech is killing the web as we know it while we play right into their hands. Maybe, in the end, that's what has to happen to make it fun again...

Everyone, pipe down! A guy who got his start hitting on Russian teenagers in Moscow post-Soviet collapse, then writing about them like zoo animals, has strong opinions on Epstein and sex trafficking…

If most jobs outside of medicine, education, logistics, and supervising machinery are being reduced to nothing more than feeding prompts to a chatbot, and the owner class can’t wait to automate them… then why do they even exist? No, I’m seriously asking.

"I know we're being shitty on main, but how about some hot toothpaste and melted cocoa nibs? Will that finally make you happy?"

Employers are demanding workers use #AI so much, it’s becoming a major component of performance reviews. But if everyone has to use AI for every task, what’s the point of even having employees?

Hey fellow millennials, remember when Bill Clinton was in the middle of a scandal with a certain intern and decided it was suddenly time to redo the Gulf War for a month? And it was such a transparent ploy there was a movie making fun of it that did very well at the box office? Fun times…

RFK Jr.’s rat-licking, anti-science, snake oil-peddling brigade is going to be the death of millions. Literally. Especially children and the elderly. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMtaTEk1/

Foks, an AGI-powered utopia of leasure, free money, and anything you want delivered by an army of robots in hours, is coming soon. According to the same people who think food, shelter, healthcare, and education are luxuries wasted on the poors…

Republicans: “Listen, we have a brilliant idea. Instead of giving money to the insurance companies, we’re going to give you money! To… uh… give to the insurance companies. Who will also charge you thousands more per year.”

In space, no one can hear you eat your crew mates on ceramic tile covered in sticky filth after your harvest fails, supplies run dry, and help is months away. And I tried to explain that to our tech oligarchs on Canadian radio last night...

Back in the day, we had no choice but test nukes to make sure they work. Thanks to today's technology, resuming nuclear testing is just saber rattling for the sake of saber rattling...

Hey there non-tech oligarch peasants! Does the current state of the world have you feeling down? Well, turn that frown upside down because soon, millions of you will be living in disgusting, radioactive cramped hovels on the Moon!

Should we also be using A1 in our classrooms and lecture halls like the wrestling lady says?

Anne Frankly, I find his style quite appropriate given everything I’ve read about his infuhrerating personality and tactics.

“I can’t believe these Jew-haters are trying to steal the secret piles of gold from those Jewy Jews just Jewing it up from their seat of globalist power. Did I mention how much I love Jews?”

“Blue state libs can cry all they want but Trump is still their president.” Okay, yes, we know. But does he? Because he doesn’t treat blue states and their residents as Americans. He may technically be our president but he thinks of us as enemies, not a part of the United States.

Remember, your xenocidal murder machine needs proper care, maintenance, and somewhere around 20,000 calories after a rough day of traversing the stars to dole out death and destruction... #sciencefiction #scifi #writing

No, #AI is not killing human creativity. It's doing something much worse and much more annoying...

I know, “butt breathing” is funny. But there are trauma victims out there with collapsed or obstructed airways and will suffocate or have brain damage by the time they can be intubated. If there’s an alternative, it could actually save lives.

If you want to feed yourself with subsistence farming in the coming week or two, you should have started a two acre garden about six months ago. How many SNAP recipients are going to have that much land, a few thousand dollars for equipment and materials, and a time machine?

A nightmare scenario the #AI bros of Silicon Valley won’t he able to handle: we create #AGI by some inspired accident only for it to want absolutely nothing to do with humanity as it finds us too irrational, impulsive, and petty to deal with.

“Amazing news everyone, we’ve done it!” “We solved world hunger?” “No.” “We fixed antibiotic resistance?” “Ha! No, still a thing.” “World peace?” “Nope. Absolutely not. That’s even worse now, actually.” “Then what did we do?” “We invented copy-paste with a trillion extra steps!”

“Why oh why aren’t people fawning all over the masked thugs we unleashed on their streets to brutalize their friends and neighbors?!”

Maybe the calmest person in the room is the leader who’s great under pressure. Or maybe they’re just a goober with no idea what the hell is going on and their calm is the two last brain cells struggling to connect. This is why bumper sticker level life advice is stupid and you shouldn’t repeat it.

Remember when Elon Musk chuckled that "a lot of people will die" trying to settle Mars? The part that wasn't discussed was that many of those deaths wouldn't be quick and easy, and some may involve truly gruesome acts in a last ditch effort to survive... #space #spaceexploration #survival

Hey, so fun fact, conducting experiments on humans without informed consent and ethical oversight is very literally a crime against humanity.

"The Dekoda is out of power." "Does that mean...?" "That's right. I can't see shit anymore."

How do you repel an alien swarm? You throw a lot of things at multiples of the speed of sound or a significant percentage of the speed of light at it. And maybe a very bizarre humanoid shaped weapon as well, just for good measure. The story continues... #scifi #sciencefiction #writing

Imagine that Silicon Valley accidentally creates an #AGI smarter than all of humanity combined. How will its creators and owners react when it decides it wants absolutely nothing to do with us? #tech #compsci

Someone really needs to check this guy’s hard drive. Can we drag Kash Patel out of his snowy mountain?

Young Republicans in public: “We are just unapologetic patriots! Only unhinged leftists call us Nazis and racists!” Young Republicans in private: “When do the mass rapes and executions of the untermensch poisoning our glorious White Reich start, my fellow white power warriors?”

Can’t believe I missed a whole world war. Is warfare that quiet and efficient now?

Jeff Bezos sees orbital data centers in 20 years. Math, physics, and economics beg to differ. We know it. He knows it. So, why do Bezos and so many other #tech oligarchs and startup CEOs keep promising six impossible things before breakfast?

You know, you'd think this was the first alien invasion these astronauts have ever had to de... oh... Right. So it is. The story continues... #sciencefiction #scifi #writing

I am not currently on any medications. Given a 650% discount, I should get a prescription for some so I can be paid thousands of dollars a month just to take meds. The opportunity is right there.

Science says that as we get older, we get less curious because we want to avoid being wrong, scared, or disappointed by the truth. And this is why the grand dream for the internet never materialized.

Yes, I know it seems jarring that MTG suddenly sounds like a rational and sensible politician with very middle of the road views, but I would really like you to remember that her MAGA persona is just a character she plays for attention and votes from the Deep South. Most GOP lawmakers are like this.

Weirdly, creating a partisan ecosystem that relies entirely on attention-seeking rage bait and rabidly denying reality to push conspiracy theories can backfire. Who would’ve thunk it?
