Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Tech Guy: I have attained immortality!
Me: Wow, you figured out how to stop aging?
Tech Guy: No, I trained an AI on my emails to create a perfect copy of my personality. Then I uploaded it into a robot dog with M3GAN’s face. It will live forever
Robot: As a businessman I often schedule meetings

so now that peter thiel with his big ass rubber frankenstein head is coming out of the shadows to give a few interviews it's pretty clear that he is not this super smart eccentric thinker but actually in like full on psychosis right?

it feels like we're so starved of good news on a daily basis that it's easy to get really pessimistic, but i realized last night with the mamdani win that good news hits extra hard after a drought. we were just on a good news tolerance break so that we could get extra zooted

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

What message does it send, especially to women, that the democrats will pull out all the stops to rally around a disgraced fucking rapist rather than let a socialist win a single mayoral election? I’m so tired of this shit dude

kinda shocked at the change in behavior of clients who use chatgpt a lot. they lose skills SO QUICKLY, they don't seem to understand basic communication, lack critical thinking, are super impatient & expect instant results. even if you don't use it yourself, the tech still makes your life WORSE

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

every day under late stage capitalism you are SO lucky to be ok & i was ok for many years, even when things were really tight! could never afford healthcare/time off but it was fine. but whew losing your main source of income 12 days before rent is due is juuuust CLASSIC, you know?

one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable
that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t?
So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.
Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography.
The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards.
