I must be super evolved then because I understand very well that Google is trying to build an agentic wall around the entire internet with the ultimate goal of users paying to access it and data owners paying to contribute to it.

personally i don't think "just drink your beer like a normal person" is "freaking out" but then i'm not the guy who wrote this frankly insane sentence — "Miller Lite is the anecdote to the decadence of a professional class that constantly chases novel gustatory experiences"

This is making me lose my mind. Are these people so divorced from their own imagination that they can’t even understand that artists are intentionally not depicting reality?

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

God bless the creators of #hacks, this Jess McCartney scene I am 🤣😭🤣

Some of you are expecting Rockstar Lestat to be cool, and that’s your first mistake. He is earnestly, deeply cringefail no matter how hard he tries, and that’s half the fun/horror of it. #tvl

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

I already dealt with this.

sorry to bring this back but

If you're a young leftist looking for an inspirational model for politics and can't come up with anyone better than Stalin or Mao I'm going to encourage you to read a second book.

Historically ignorant people say things all the time that make me be like

"there is no hater on earth like a hater from Chicago" true

The whole TACO thing is one of the most puerile and idiotic things the dens have done and that’s a very high bar to clear

Please stop saying TACO. We’re talking about an ungodly number of people who could die or maimed. It’s not time for cutesy little internet slang. We have to get away from this bizarre desensitization.

yeah, I do not find any of this whimsical, personally

So much policy is aimed at "addressing AI fears" rather than mitigating its harms because painting the aversion to those harms as irrational is far cheaper that doing anything

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

we have spent a decade now pretending that one of the stupidest guys to ever enter politics is actually Ozymandias

As has been said a million times, Trump has no theory of mind and will never understand the enemy gets a vote, so he'll be absolutely gobsmacked when Iran starts hitting power plants and dumping hundreds of mines in the Strait that won't be completely cleared for years.

my entire timeline on x is now just iranian embassies demonstrating a facility with the english language that puts everything i've ever read from the trump administration to shame

But Americans won't do that. We'll go about our days pissed off about $4 gas and $5 ground beef, while patiently waiting to vote in November because we don't know how else to do things. No wonder the rest of the world hates us.

The very obvious evil shit being done directly in our faces is part of my frustration with people committed to conspiracy theories.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Longstanding concerns aside, "praise be to Allah" is pretty funny on Easter from him

Trump derangement syndrome isn't real. But Trump normalisation syndrome very much is.

i’ve seen every social network i love die, you cannot scare me

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

“If Trump were a Democrat would you still hate him?” Trump WAS a Democrat, and I hated him then, too. I don’t GAF what party someone claims to be. Nobody hates Trump because he’s a Republican. We hate him because he's a shitty President and possibly the shittiest human being who has ever lived.

maybe the time has come to just greenlight some new IPs ffs, it's a great story, people have also written other stories since 1954

"I DON'T BELIEVE IN HANDOUTS" That's not something you actually think, that's something rich people told you to make you think working yourself to death was your idea

Judas Iscariot was paid 30 pieces of silver for turning Jesus Christ in to the Roman authorities. But he made nearly 10 times that amount by placing a Polymarket bet accurately predicting the day of Christ’s death.

“The politicians don’t pay enough attention to meeee, I am oppressed” “Did you take ten minutes out of your entire year to register your opinion with the politicians” “Whoa hold on now”

What a time to be alive www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

"the Domino theory but in reverse" "yeah exactly" is killing me 😭😂

shot & chaser because lmfao

The US-UK coup (1953) was much closer in time to the embassy takeover (1979) than that takeover is to this week’s US attack on Iran en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Ir...

i'm taking a brave stance that may get me canceled: there is no reason for the pervert glasses to exist

wise thread. AI hype is full of a lot of nonsense but these tools, Claude in particular, can do some very impressive stuff

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

Remember when George W. Bush blurted out that Saddam tried to kill his dad and the war in Iraq was justified on those grounds? Too soon to say who'll have the last laugh, dimwit.

The level of motivated reasoning required for some pundits to convince themselves that Netanyahu, Adelson, et al. did not actually understand their own interests when they strongly favored Trump to win is beyond my comprehension

Influencer's fleeing Dubai right now.

one of the most confronting things to happen to wordcels is the realisation that the gift of language is in fact to most people a chore that they will outsource at the first opportunity.
