Big day for people who care about other people

such a sick election night. virtue isn't dead. we will win. they will lose.

please let this manifest in VA tomorrow. then everywhere

don’t think I’m recovering from this one this week

It's been 15 years and nobody's leaked a single bit of this plan, my man

Just saying… www.selfawaresoup.com/notes/2025/0...

[stares] god i hate computers

Happy Halloween

"sophisticated financial engineering" oh that's not good

this will start a death spiral. - relatively healthy folks will drop unsustainably expensive coverage - remaining folks that stay enrolled will tend to be those that need more care, so prices will probably go up even more next year, causing more people to drop coverage

Between banning books, non-white people, genders, immigrants, comedians, journalism… And then pushing AI which just regurgitates new ideas… America is headed into a deep cultural recession. This place is bleak and getting increasingly boring.

right, so … this is why the layoffs that are being attributed to ai are happening. it’s technically true but it’s not about replacing people with ai it’s about spending out the ass on ai investments and having to cover those expenses to maintain a margin by lopping off salary expenses

one day i will wake up to golden sun news..........onE DAY 🥀🥀🥀

scenario/tiebreaker season is here again. the most wonderful time of the year 🙏🏻

can't stop thinking of the people that almost melted because their smart bed bricked during the AWS outage. what are we even doing anymore. www.404media.co/the-aws-outa...

In the late stages of the bubble we’re starting to see multiple “people in tech don’t really believe in all of this, honest, we just act like it because we think we have to”, but the truth is that it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’ve been acting like a true believer and you are what you do

there's nothing stopping you from having the coolest desktop of 2009

meanwhile in the USA, we just inject our citizens' 401k money directly into the AI bubble! maximum efficiency 😎

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

farmers have basically been begging for a soybean deal from Trump and they get...this.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

We cannot let the Jags and Seahawks play each other. This is a national security issue.

not a Spotify user but I need to make/find a list of companies that will commit to never partnering with OpenAI so I can shift all of my money toward them

*insert utopia stock image*

BRONCOS BEAT THE EAGLES??? :D

new NFL OT is really good and fair. don’t think it can be improved. for now teams are still picking first defense on the conventional wisdom of knowing what you need, but first offense has perks too (getting first possession if it goes to sudden death, pressure on the opponent from scoring)

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

"Wright told Politico in August that he blames 'momentum of the Obama-Biden policies' for the surging power rates. Donald Trump was president from 2017 to 2021, after Obama and before Biden." what a closer. incredible that we even need it, but we desperately do need to keep reminding people of this

What Gen AI has done, like social media before it, is to turn every human interaction and communication into possible spam that needs to be mentally filtered out of our personal sensorium—which take a lot of work and leaves us not wanting to deal with any of the authentic stuff

As bad as I feel for career changing into tech four years ago and now getting slapped in the face by the industry, I still feel worse for education. Solidarity w/my teacher friends.

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything. Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

ties are so sick. every sport should allow them (in the regular season)

'out of the three mass shootings today'

They've lost the 9yos

"We are told that AI is inevitable, that we must adapt or be left behind. But universities are not tech companies. Our role is to foster critical thinking, not to follow industry trends uncritically." www.ru.nl/en/research/...

the US is an interesting place where right-wingers can think of themselves as centrists and liberals because the political spectrum skews so far to the right. the democratic party is a right-wing by the standards of most other western countries.

this exists it is called thinking

from the same bright folks that brought us gems like “USPS doesn’t make a profit so it should be privatized”
