Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

this is a masterpiece

ME: Okay—back on track... How do you feel about the modern takes on the Odyssey? HOMER: Show me Grindr again. Show me again now.

Week 4 of layoff kicking off with a nasty migraine. Spent the day on the couch watching Mr. Midnight on Netflix - extremely enjoyable Indonesian YA paranormal occult drama, for when you need your spooky to be a little more lighthearted, and also learn about Indonesian spirit traditions

I wrote about how parasociality invades our political lives, from Trumpism to the KHive to Will Stancil discourse. I hope you’ll give it a read www.liberalcurrents.com/the-parasoci...

This is my Tom Holland lipsyncs Rihanna. If I see it, I have to repost it.

anyone ever noticed how psychotically evil, cruel, and anti-human republicans are

The internet is not up to the challenge of the moment today. Solidarity with my trans people forever. And if anyone wants to talk about the process of getting a CCW permit in LA County, get @ me.

I don't think they'll make it, but if you dopes pick Rahm or Newsom, you'll deserve everything you get. Both of those guys have oppo files longer than War & Peace and have more skeletons in their closet than a Spirit Halloween. Strategically it's stupid and the media wants you to pick a loser

The majority of people on Earth have yet to buy my book, which is fucking depressing. Not for me, but for them. Because it’s a really good book! www.mulebooks.com/store/how-to...

We're going to look back on LLM marketing like this.

Trans ppl under attack from the govt could be identified and outed w/o their consent. Undocumented immigrants would be cut off from the ability to communicate w advocates. Young ppl seeking abortions won't be able to access info safely and anonymously. This is what congress is advancing today 👇🏻

That’s enough Internet for today

Too many “middle ground” AI arguments—“I have concerns, too, but we have to adapt”—proceed from what is to me a peculiar embrace of “inevitability” which seems to be magical thinking, a way of depoliticizing the political, of self-soothing in the face of an overwhelming challenge.

This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

there's a new world order waiting to chestburst out of this one and we're currently in the "involuntarily shuddering and contorting and vomiting at dinner" phase

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

I'm tired of the lesser evil. These hoes wanna live in Omelas or something? Can't we just have a good candidate who doesn't have a forsaken basement child to prop them up? I just want someone who doesn't chum up to types like Charlie Kirkn't, and wants people to be able to live somewhere.

The demand to swear fealty to Newsom and never criticize him a full year before the primaries is weird. I’m happy if that’s your candidate but uhhhhh I don’t owe him anything and if he’s transphobic and destroying poor peoples’ lives, I’m not going to blindly promise to support that policy platform?

Everything sucks. We are all overwhelmed. What can we do? Well… we can help others. Let’s help some Brooklyn Park, Minnesota folks make their rent payments. We're going to clear the board, folks get their rent money, and it’s gonna feel amazing. Wins all around! www.gofundme.com/f/minnesota-...

me at 15: the Dead Kennedys are right about all of this. me at 30: this is all real nuanced and there’s a lot of moving parts here. me at 45: the Dead Kennedys were right about all of this.

Feelings are valid, but that doesn’t make them true. “I don’t feel safe”: It’s very easy to BE completely safe but not feel that way. That’s because brains are not always logical. Feelings are one of many inputs. No one’s feelings should be the sole definition of reality.

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

Since this whole debate is still happening, and since we are still not listening I will summarize what I understand the argument to be in the Lingua Franca of white nerds: Lord of the Rings analogies.

Look I know the world is on fire and all but I’ve broken 5 sewing machine needles in 1 hour trying to follow the internet’s wisdom for sewing a knit fabric on my sewing machine. I may be too autistic for these instructions. I need someone to help me with specifics on the settings. Anyone?

I’ve been quoting this at least once a day for the past almost 10 years lol
