The freedom to be a plague rat, oorah!

I vote we dump him somewhere and find out

Suffice it to say that the cultural achievements Palantir wants to define, falsely, as belonging solely to "the West"—art, science, philosophy, liberal individualism—are all things that the widespread application of Palantir's authoritarian surveillance technology will tend to diminish and destroy

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

“You gotta learn AI or get left behind!” is a bit galling given that the entire purpose of AI seems to be to steal our work and fuck our brains and shit up the planet, which is to say, its GOAL is to leave us all behind. That, in order to make its owners rich.

It was pulling out of a parking lot as I was pulling in, I didn't have time.

Yes, one of the outdoor ones with the lid flap. I'm pretty sure I could fit one in my hatchback.

I saw a cybertruck hauling a flat wire trailer with a single garbage bin lashed down inside. My first thought was "you don't often see a dumpster carrying its baby around."

My second thought was "a real truck could fit that garbage bin in the bed"

It's hard to articulate the level of anger & rage I have about watching this happen. I first saw weev doxx people I love *TWENTY* years ago. I spoke to founders of multiple social networks about the risk of these people over 15 years ago. I wrote about it all a dozen+ years ago. They let it happen.

I keep getting prodded to let AI summarize messages my friends sent to me on social media. The day my personal relationships no longer deserve my personal attention is the day I don't deserve to have a community.

If taxation is the scariest thing you've ever seen, your life has been unbelievably cushy and privileged.

free speech is when you're free to shut up and sit there while i give a speech

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

That's the sucker route. The barn cats follow me around to ask for love while I'm on the clock so I'm getting paid to snuggle.

He has kind eyes, what a handsome boy

A spider underneath the top flap of the toilet paper roll, with a couple of legs peeking out.

All tucked in and ready to help me evacuate my bowels

Don't tell me boycotts don't work

The glow outline makes me feel violated, that everything I point my camera at is being processed by some bullshit I never agreed to.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

A horse who appears to be grimacing, with her mouth open and tongue sticking out.

This is the face a horse makes when they really like your cooking, right?

I baked her a special horse cake this morning (oats, apple, carrot, flax, molasses) and she thought it was ok enough to eat about half. She wouldn't touch the beer.

If you're so uncertain about whether your product could cause mass death or financial disaster to the point that you need to seek out special legislative protection, maybe the product shouldn't exist.

They want to steal everyone's intellectual property, they want to suck up humanity's natural resources, they want to make a shitload of money and bear NONE of the responsibility for any of it.

I'd be happier keeping the two dollars.

Now I know where to turn if I want to trigger a blinding migraine

Or "are you drunk right now?"

He couldn't even secure the strait for the US but OK, Donny

The bot emails are now starting "First of all, I'm not a bot!" and honestly I'm going to need Sam Altman set on fire

I've certainly had enough of him, if he'd be gracious enough to go away forever.

I think we're all tired of winning by this point
