What the ever living fuck

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

The Ones Who Visit Omelas Without Doing a Ton of Research But Then on the Tour of Omelas They’re Like “Wait What the Fuck Did the Tour Guide Just Say”

at what point does a government lose all legitimacy

Autistic people oppose a cure to autism and I have a hard time reconciling why that isn't the end to the conversation about it.

republicans hate portland because they think having that many great restaurants in such a small city is unchristian behavior

With each day, this tweet becomes more prescient.

Keep packing the court until all 330 million Americans are justices

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Democrats: Oh this issue where the vast majority of people like it? We should compromise and help kill it. That is just good strategy. We wouldn't want to be seen as *shudder* progressive. And what's a few more thousand dead, really? When you think about it. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars.

I sincerely believe the end of Google Reader was when the Internet started to get worse instead of better

is this good

Jimmy Fallon as the last late-night host standing is truly the kind of dire shit you hope the graphic novel memoirs don't leave out in 30 years

i think it’s wild how many people are fine with leaving their children a totally uninhabitable world that’s inevitably pitched in constant bloody conflict over who gets the last resources so they can have copilot email tone rewriting and slop memes of trump as a taco with a drooping fold.

Seattle mayor in a nutshell

Once again thinking about Macaulay Culkin walking into the Parisian café where the wifi password was “Macaulay Culkin” and the owner saying “I knew you’d come here someday”

Today has been a great opportunity to learn who does and who does not have an emotionally fulfilling group chat

Sometimes I sit down and Annika trots over to sit on my lap and immediately starts purring, she is the sweetest girl

Excuse you

Q: but what if a full Epstein investigation also takes down Bill Clinton????? A:

alright i'm going to be honest some of you are hoping against hope the president is about to die and some of you are lifelong mariners fans lamenting another loss and none of you are being all that clear about which one you're feeling right now

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

The thing about Robert E Lee is he should have been executed in front of the gutted husk of a torched Virginia plantation mansion, and that should have been his official portrait, and we should have put it on our money.

Saying this to myself in mirror as an affirmation every day until it happens

I’M TRYING

i think it is possible to levy meaningful consequences i think it is possible to change the narrative on AI i think it is possible to punish Altman enough to stop the next out-of-control CEO but i don't think it's possible to MAKE THESE PEOPLE FEEL BAD ABOUT WHAT THEY DID and that's an ugly truth

to know that someone somewhere is in a conference room with a bunch of guys in suits typing away on their spreadsheets and calculating settlement fees to write off a couple dead kids as acceptable losses opens up a level of genuine despair that I am not processing very well rn to be totally honest

Is it really that they can't believe what's happening or is it that to accept what's happening would mean that they would have to act differently and they don't want to do that?

If you’re voluntarily using OpenAi, this is on you as well. This isn’t like driving or using plastics, this is a wholly voluntary murder of the planet. You can avoid it.

oh man, I will admit that while I rarely miss things about twitter, I do miss the chaos of getting online and finding out JCO is posting but not knowing if she's doing some lightly incoherent racism or delivering two to the chest and one to the head of some right-wing weirdo

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

I'm sitting in a department meeting and I feel like I need a support group for people who work in IT and hate AI

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’ You don’t ‘run the gambit.’ gamut = entire range or series gauntlet = severe trial Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

all my life women have treated me like being me is their worst nightmare and then tried to hastily pretend that it wasn’t an insult joke’s on you, if you have never had the approval of men it costs you nothing to lose it and then you’re free

[extremely on-mushrooms voice] hear me out. what if we destroy capitalism by feminizing having money

it's wild to post this when a more realistic version of it actually happened and it was conservatives who refused the treatment

The dumbest and most ignorant person alive knows more than the most advanced LLM

I really and truly need people to understand that a chatbot does not and cannot know anything. Like, I need them to understand that in their bones. It is very good at looking like it knows something, but it does not and cannot know anything.

it's so funny that all it took was calling a chatbot "artificial intelligence" for people to believe that's really what it is. most humans are such fucking marks, man. lethally credulous species.

let’s have a crisis of femininity, as a treat

girl would you love YOURSELF if u were a worm

we don't actually know what's going to *work* so we need to try many different kinds of things and that means that a lot of what people are trying will not be your choice of action.

It absolutely makes sense that men are using AI more and seeing more job benefits, because confidently spouting nonsense in the shape of information (what LLMs are programmed to do) has always been much more of a pathway for career advancement for men than for others.

Waking up to The Obituary is going to rule, and almost all of us are going to get to experience it. Moon landing vibes, once in a lifetime thing. I'm really looking forward to it, taking my vitamins, making sure I live to see it.

Even assuming an LLM stumbled into a revolutionary scientific discovery, it would only be an untested hypothesis. A lack of hypotheses is not science's problem - it's $$ for the research to test those hypotheses that's sorely needed. And, that's being cut to fund LLMs.

lol. lmao, even.

this is one of the worst crimes in human history and the entire global north and all of us in it share the responsibility

“Since AFP was founded in August 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, we have had wounded and prisoners in our ranks, but none of us remembers seeing our colleagues die of starvation.” The AFP news release has been released in French. Below is an English translation via Google translate.
