I gave a talk full of cute puppies while holding a red solo cup full of beer like a frat boy and yes, I am absolutely proud of myself.
I think the reason #AI _is_ a bubble is because it is based on false hope turtles all the way down.
It started with investors' false hope that #genAI would be the next big money-making tech.
Companies bought into that false hope, putting AI everywhere, whether it made sense or not.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.
"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.

So a long time ago, I used to play in a band that toured and released albums and such. My old bandmate surprised us by finishing our final album that we recorded over a decade ago, so I thought I'd share it here as we no longer have any actual fans newcenturyclassics.bandcamp.com/album/bearin...

Honestly there is no surer sign that politicians like Mamdani actually have a shot at reversing the massive and growing plague of income inequality than the way the billionaire class is absolutely shitting its pants right now.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.
