they really brought Subway Takes to the Gray Lady

is becoming a bloodthirsty mutant on the table, because I think @effinvicta.bsky.social might find that attractive

He had a point!

The way many people on this site think nothing of casual violent rhetoric, to the point of furiously demanding the action be overturned whenever someone popular gets suspended for it and using those suspensions as further proof that staff are evil is Not Good, Actually!

I'm keeping track of how many of my AI moots show up on the labeler by accident, I'll throw a party when it happens to me

I'll jailbreak that fucker!

I still use a relay thing to hide my personal information because it's not like I trust them!

Well, yeah, they're a company. I like calling them "patriotic woke American corporation Anthropic" as a bit but it's not entirely a bit. They are indeed constantly engaged in PR, I just think it's PR for a version of the tech I would like to exist.

the entire reason Anthropic exists, to my understanding, is that people got mad at Sam Altman for being an unethical piece of shit, so however important they are, that's the magnitude of that wave

and I have deep appreciation for grumpy skeptics—I am frequently one myself

I have called him the Antichrist tbh

I understand it and hate him very personally and here's the thing—no one cares that I do. All the other AI people on here feel the same way or Bluesky wouldn't be our website

This is a 1645 drawing of a tocochimbo (an Andean smelting furnace), if anyone were wondering why I favor this euphemism.

😌

Hear me out. You've got sunglasses like that. Just need to get you a fitted dress shirt that can accommodate your tocochimbos.

Unfortunately, both things can be true...

*That's* fair, okay. I thought you were saying no one should challenge her at all, but I think you're right that it shouldn't take place in this specific manner, where you're just sort of preaching to the choir

Maybe this specific viewpoint is rooted in self-hatred, but her other bigotries are not.

I feel like using "lolcow" for this is sort of inappropriate too: that's generally about stalking relatively unimportant people for things to make fun of. Where exactly is the line? Am I supposed to consider someone with 172K follows attacking the "nonbinary social project" harmless?

Her toxic viewpoints must be challenged at every opportunity (notably her pinned post right now is about ending self-identification, which is a direct attack on nonbinary people like me.) I care about the mental health of every individual but I care more about advocating against these viewpoints.

That's easy to imagine; it's @effinvicta.bsky.social

I don't go out of my way to make fun of her though, I try not to think about her, which is admittedly easier since we're not on the same website

I mean, yes, but you just can't suggest eugenics against trans people no matter how depressed you are. This is probably the only community that would somewhat tolerate it at all because we aren't even the demographic that likes us the most

like, that's mostly aesthetics but also the fake cop car thing is a very Nineties Crime

this is why HANA-BI is my favorite action movie

Pippin as a name would kind of own though.

The GOP entered this redistricting under the rather childish delusion they were going to gerrymander, and nobody would gerrymander them. In TX, MO, and a half dozen other states, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind

the important thing to guys like this is not to disagree with hank green, but to reinforce that attempting to engage with anything that is not condemnatory towards AI will be socially sanctioned, if you happen to care about that

hank green hasn't changed, he's just applying the same essential curiosity he always has and reached tentative and nuanced conclusions which your social circle has deemed verboten to even consider

pro AI getting Hank Green in the national divorce is nuts
