This "why does the left hate AI?" thing is like when the right believes protests are paid for by George Soros; they need a SECRET CONSPIRATORIAL AGENT because they refuse to believe that, actually, a lot of people are independently looking at what AI is being made to be and saying "ok that sucks?"

Lately, my wife and I have been referring to our marriage exclusively using yuri manga cliches. Well, okay, I've been doing that. She's just mostly been tolerating it. Due to the promise we made on that day

im not a linux evangelist but people post on here weekly like "i miss when computers were more like the early 2000s and had basic software and i didn't have to pay attention to all the flashiness and complexity and updates" girl what you desire is running stable debian on a spare thinkpad
the replies to this are draining my life force man nobody knows the thing im talking about already exists no wonder you all conflate "the computer" and whatever big tech is doing as the same thing. i'm talking about FOSS. you don't have to use the tech bro evil computer software*

We fucking hate brands on here, and good for us but that’s like 70% of social media nowadays which limits the userbase to professors and Jeopardy hosts and Weird Al Yankovic’s and normal people who have undisclosed emotional problems

was recently exposed to some modern websites without an ad blocker running for the first time in a while
everything looks like you're using a Windows XP PC owned by a teenager in 2004
I maintained a "spyware" FAQ in the mid-2000s and now I feel like a immunologist watching measles come back

some years ago I got into an argument with a co-worker because he genuinely believed that Musk was an environmentalist
sometimes it really, really sucks to be right

New drone footage from @floodlightnews.org - the fossil methane power plant Musk built specifically to create abusive and racist material on his social media website is still wildly breaching EPA regulations even after a ruling against using them -->>>

Ah yes artists, famously undedicated to their work, never obsessive, who don’t understand {checks notes} creating things.
This shit right here is why people hate you AI assholes. Myopic and arrogant.
You’re not creating or iterating anything? You literally invented a soulless box to do it for you.

all of the worst people alive want you to stop being upset about the Epstein files and everything that they reveal
and it’s not because they’re all child molesters themselves: it’s because they worship power and wealth, and the files show us exactly where that leads

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men.
Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

remember that to the Epstein Class, you and your children are just another kind of capital to be owned and used and discarded
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

"cooled by the vacuum of space" - huh, neat. hey does anyone know how thermoses work
This would have been a good point for someone to have asked, is that really how things work? Or is vacuum in fact an excellent insulator? www.ft.com/content/a5cf...

today I found that it Bitlocker-encrypted every FAT and exFAT volume that it could see, without asking for permission or confirmation first
including an EFI system partition

there are now many reasons to mask up whenever you're outside:
* covid never actually ended
* surveillance cameras everywhere
* random ICE tear gas attacks
* signalling that you give a shit about other people
* making people think that you're younger because they can't see the grey in your beard
