I wrote a quick thing about AI this morning and I figured I should post it. I didn't edit, but I hope you like it.

More coming.

You just don't understand how AI works, bro
It's been a long couple of years.

Funny how this might lead to co-authoring a paper, because it was also intended to be funny. Tis what I do, I guess.

Nichest comedy that confuses and angers the stupid.

(and yes I do know that Asmongold represents a different sect, it's just funny how the Alt-Right [sic] started out with Gamers and Clean Your Room into a puddle of liquid flatulence being one of the largest "apolitical influencers" - that doesn't clean his room)

Right now, as much as neoliberalism is to blame for why we are here, when you understand what's coming like a tidal wave... you want to hope and pray we only end up with that.

The funny thing is that Homer Simpson used to represent the everyman, but now, even though it was briefly Joe Rogan, I do feel like, for Gen Z, it is Asmongold.

And that is deeply fucking worrying.

(That said, I asked my son if he's a thing, and he said he's a lolcow, so)

Whenever I see that dipshit I think of Frank Grimes, saying to Homer:

"If this were any other country, you'd have starved to death long ago."

Bart: "He's got you there, Dad."

Pretty funny how all the scumbags who were shouting "clean your room" at everyone for 5 years decided that was too hard and instead worship someone who is renouned for very much not cleaning his room.

Asmongold is easier than reading, cleaning, being decent I guess.

If I had the resources I'd make a children's show like Yo Gabba Gabba but to explain basic political concepts to adults.

"First, children, we are going to learn the difference between adjectives and nouns. Let's sing a song. It's called 'Left Wing is an Adjective'..."

I hate to think how much MORE autism would exist in my household if I'd circumcised the boys

I mean Paul and I often express gratitude that we didn't have children together because they'd be super sperg but it seems the call was coming from inside the house

Excellent video.

One day, people may have the humility to realise they are part of the statistic they don't like.

Weird contrast making these for the boys, because they demolished the other day’s batch, and doing a family violence law exam. Something about pink icing makes it weird, ya know

Not since the University of Wollongong advertised their Masters in Autism have we had this much fun.

Remember

Most of this has occurred because there were some small breasted women in video games, Gillette did an ad, and we talked about all the times men have assaulted us

The lunatics who burned crosses, bomb clinics, conducted lynchings into the 1980s and sperged out over a country band, M&Ms, and French Fries haven’t changed no way you don’t say

Oh no it’s dark web

New theory:

The Big Bang happened and reset the Universe because everything became so ironic, it broke the fabric of reality and it all exploded.

All the right need to do is start tearing statues down and quoting Orwell as they do it and we may well find out for ourselves

Gotta say I'm really effing tired of being told what I'm supposed to care about, how to care, and being forced to live in fear lest a zombie horde of whatever flavour descends on me.

Fuck off. I just write. It's not my fault you're all braindead.

This ain't the Walking Dead. Yet.

I didn't even know or like him and I am pausing for some time to gather my thoughts.

And now everyone is expected to think that a kid who pointed out smple facts are the bad people? lol sorry but don't accept their framing.

There's only one group "celebrating" and that's the ones with merch.

I just want to point out that their first reflex, upon the death of their friend, is to design and print posters and merch, rearrange their podcast sets, film TikTok slideshows and said Like & Subscribe.

Someone needs to design, print and record and edit.

I'd be too upset. Just saying.

I tried reporting the X account that is hunting down people and building the list.

If you’re on it, feel free to sue them, because they have been informed that a crime is being committed and people will get hurt.

The only thing left in this ridiculous response is to tear down the Abraham Lincoln statue and replace it with Charlie Kirk and then deny that they’re tearing down statues

It’s just a toddler with no empathy, no theory of mind, nothing… willing to throw everything and everyone under the bus for an extra buck or click, and because they can’t share.

They’re pathetic.
