Hear me out: every adult in the country takes a near fatal dose of hallucinogens at the exact same time. Then we see where we're at.

Listen, I’ll grant you this thing sucks ass and doesn’t work, and employees and customers hate it and by extension us for using it. I’ll grant you all that. But what if it doesn’t? Wouldn’t we look foolish? I think my logic is sound.

this has always been the most baffling and depressing thing about the political hellscape we have lived through in the last decade
there is nothing there at all except a rapacious, all-consuming need for praise, no humanity at all, nothing but a carnival barker's ability to work the crowd

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

To combat the right you can get involved in community organizations, donate to your local Planned Parenthood, give your time to aid organizations and shelters, attend civic meetings, make your neighborhood a more welcoming place for marginalized people. Logging onto Elon's website doesn't help.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

There’s this thing I like to call LinkedIn writing where people describe some normal ass daily experience as if they’re telling a grand parable that always has to end with how this experience is actually good for the business grindset mindset

Thank you to all who continue to participate in the greatest policy debate in modern history. I’m going to respond to this thread with some frequently asked questions so we can focus our efforts on more productive conversation.
strangers are fighting to the death in my menchies over this pretty innocuous take and slinging devastating counterarguments like “what if I had to run away from a murderer” and “I like speeding”
one of my longstanding takes is that car manufacturers should be forced to install mandatory speed limiters in every new vehicle and people react to that like I'm advocating to strip them of their right to free speech

AI is like there was a new art movement that was Mister Men Art, and the people who’d invented Mister Men Art started saying that it was not only the best art, but the only art, and insisting that everyone who didn’t draw Mister Men should give up drawing, and starve. Even though nobody liked it.

The problem with the BBC being the nation’s finest engine for soft power, is that people have realised that they can easily exert hard, nasty, cruel power on it, and bend it out of shape.
Empathy, curiosity and compassion shouldn’t be problematic qualities that need silencing. Seems they are now.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

can't get over the team behind the mcdonald's ad wanting credit for all the late nights and long hours they spent prompting for clips. you've somehow invented a form of ersatz creativity that recreates the suffering inherent to all creative work without any valuable output or intellectual growth
there’s just a certain type of person who would show up to your writer’s group wanting praise for presenting work but violently rejecting any form of constructive criticism that might improve it, and that right there is the target market for AI

No AI videos I've seen offend and upset me as much as fake funny animal videos. Real animals are infinite entertainment machines placed on Earth by God to make us smile, and you're wasting resources on this? Point a camera at a dog and throw a ball.
