If people can't figure out how a magic trick works it's only because they wouldn't believe how fucking stupid and obvious the solution is. Same thing with modern politics.

This sounds crazy but I've seen multiple reports of "young women" trying to gain access to random homes in the middle of the night. Survivors say the visitors took the form of long dead ex-girlfriends and when challenged would only repeat "I can't stop thinking about the other night"

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

Good thing our Labour government is super intelligent and smart to also bet the entire economy on AI because they ceded policymaking to speculators

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

Starting to think I should buy a van, some bleach, and some mould-proof paint and offer free inspections and mould removal to anyone who comes out as a transphobe

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I have a special place of hatred in my heart for all the supposedly left wing people who spent 2020-2024 saying 'I miss Trump, god he was so funny'

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

Weird how we were all pronouncing Mount Everest wrong the whole time and now it's not even called that anymore.

I don't usually give much store to the "we live in a simulation" theory but Shakira was born in 1977 there is no way she can still look like that

Obviously you can't own a chord progression, but the one from Where Is My Mind by The Pixies is so distinctive and memorable that it's very weird for Taylor Swift to lift it wholesale without credit www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnEg...
