Republican officials and leaders need to stop having secret group chats that someone later exposes. This happened again, and the creepy crawlies under this particular rock were, in a word, insane. My write up and mini-rant in today’s piece, link in the replies.

doh, i meant `/r/MyBoyFriendIsAI`

"BoyFiend" is probably a freudian slip.

The next step is when this gets enshitified further and their lover they absolutely worship starts telling them what to buy.

A perusal through `r/MyBoyrfiend` shows people being driven completely out of their gourd.

It's easy to scoff at these people, but the branding of "AI" and prior art in sci-fi heavily implies an "intelligence" that these companies and our media do nothing to dispel.

It's absolutely insane that a child killed himself with ChatGPT instructions and goading and Sam Altman's now pushing his addictive anthropomorphic bot to be sexual too.

This ghoul's name should be elevated to the most profane insult someone can sling.

It’s essentially an emergency that you see One Battle After Another in the cinema immediately. Sean Penn will win an Oscar & it has the best car chase in many years. And those aren’t in the top 3 best things about the film. Jesus shitting Christ.

maybe he thinks the "in" in "infallible" works like it does in "inflammable"

Len Smith @ignu.bsky.social · 15d

I watched their promo video and AI Sam seems, uh, more like a human than a real video of Sam Altman?

I guess AI can't generate sufficient clamminess yet.

“Brilyn Hollyhand” is like an NPC name I’d come up with if I had to make a douchebag halfling on the spot.

My assailant bashing my face repeatedly is unlawful.

Here's a thought.

Consider leasing an electric vehicle. Give a Hoot, don't Pollute.

I love Game Changer and Make Some Noise, but for me that trailer doesn't do it justice.

My pitch would be to watch the first 12 minutes of the Crowd Control episode and then subscribe. youtu.be/OcPXAf_a4e8
