The purpose of this technology is not to accurately identify people but rather to instill in everyone the fear that they are constantly being watched.

Ok but that would mean that journeyman programmers deeply in community with their detail oriented userbase are somehow better suited to evaluate code efficacy than startup founders who spit out half baked prototypes to be imposed on some random corporate user group they'll never interact with....

"because it is purely focused on output, gen AI use spirals: the more you use it, the more you have to use it, because by using it you avoid learning the skills to make things without it" look just read the whole thing it's so good

It's called the Great Oxidation Event. Ok? We're going to have more beautiful oxygen than ever before. You'll be saying Mr. President sir, no more oxygen! But we'll be meeting with the highly respected cyanobacteria very soon

TRAN GIRLISMO: ONE OF TWO AUTOMOTIVE PODCASTS THAT WILL TELL YOU TO READ LENIN

The page containing the "crock of shit" exchange on 10/16/25 appears to be missing entirely from the feds' original filing. It was on page 10, but the original filing jumps from page 8 to 11. Here's the unredacted version:

Did Cohen ever answer the basic question of "shouldn't eBay be the ones buying Gamestop instead of the other way around?" Because, you know, the larger company is almost always the one that buys out the smaller company.

But if Cohen already has 50%+1, if the shareholders are already on his side, then why does he need eBay to lower their vote-calling threshold? Hell, why doesn't he organize those shareholders into a bloc and force the vote right now?

Yeah, I think the most generous assessment for those kids is that they're being so regularly exposed to antisemitism that they use antisemitic lingo casually without even thinking they're being openly hateful, and that's fucking terrible!

This piece is another example of how evidentiary standards for covering young people basically don't exist. It's a take on the supposedly widespread and normal use of this language anchored around guesstimates from two (2) people about behavior at a single high school.

These were fire too, but I guess they'd rather go to work in a golf shirt that's a size too big

when I became Catholic forty minutes ago I learned that it was very important to feel bad about anything fun and also be deeply weird about [pausing for way too long] intercourse

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

This is embarrassing. It doesn't take a PhD in international relations to understand that the war with Iran was a tremendously costly setback in international security. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

~25 years ago I crashed on a friend's couch before an interview. his dad, a former pastor, asked me what I was interviewing for, so I said, "Unix Administrator". he got a confused look for a moment, then started laughing, then asked me how I found enough eunuchs to need an administrator 😆

It's so good that Trump is going to die blaming everyone in his administration for all the things he told them to do, after rebuilding the party to solely be his. That blood clot is going to hit his heart and someone is going to shout "FEEDING FRENZY!!!" and they will all descend upon his corpse

i sat a 4.5+ hour public education policy meeting so i could talk about how much i hate ai for 2 minutes during open comment period. because i hate it that much. and it does not belong in our schools and edtech ppl are GRIFTERS

for what it’s worth, trans women in a federal case I’m covering have been denied their hormones while being held in men’s facilities under federal charges. I feel like cis people don’t realize that this is happening at all

There’s two kinds of Dutch soccer player names: Matthijs Van Der Kuijpermandoonk (83 syllables) and Jan Ass (2 syllables)

democrats continue to attack trump from a hawkish pro war position and continue to appeal to no one. why not criticize trump for starting this war? why not criticize trump for willing to cause shock to the global economy and energy systems? why should we not want a good deal for iran? they won!

on the one hand It Happening is going to be fucking great. but on the other hand him having to linger around in a wheelchair being hounded by prosecutors and civil suits while life goes on and he shrinks down into a tiny leathery detested goblin is acceptable too

If you oppose the thing that made RAM the cost of a small car and has made researching stuff on the internet noticably worse, you will be referred to on this site as a conspiracy theorist because actually it uses less water than industrial-scale agriculture.

it's fine that it teaches children how to kill themselves because it also lets dumbasses pretend they know how to code
