It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen
People hate this shit so much. Nobody's having fun. Even the AI people are getting tired of this. They're losing and they know it. Even with the ever-growing revenues of OpenAI and Anthropic, things feel weird and bad. Anthropic's services are also randomly broken or rate limited to hell. Cool!
Alex says "well, economy's fucked. Time to start camming." She asks herself "what's my niche?" She gets an idea. She has set up a sexual version of Cow Tools. Her friend says "I don't get it..."
Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.
A year ago I said someone should do Frinkiac for King of the Hill. Well @standard.bsky.social went and DID IT boompane.ordoliberal.com

Isaac Chotiner: You say the two cats who live in your house are "Jerks" and you don't care for them
Me: Absolutely. They are the burdens of my life
Chotiner: It seems you spent an hour searching for special food for them and paid more for it than you do even for your own food.
Me: That's--Hold on,
Too mean? Not mean enough? I'm never sure. I was certainly ready to burn this particular bridge.
While I have, at various other points in my life, found myself working on projects I felt ethically ambivalent about, but continued on because my partner needed financial support and I was not in a position to either quit or turn down any opportunity, she's dead now, I have only myself to support, and I have absolutely no fucks to give here. I didn't know who Simon Sinek was before today; I've just learned he took a $98,000 contract for leadership training from ICE during the previous Trump administration. Why do you think his involvement is a positive for your company? You want me to have a conversation with a hollowed-out shell of yourself? Why not just have a fake AI version of me do it for you? Let's just boil the oceans so nobody has to have a genuine conversation ever again. I'm already on record as being entirely against what you're doing here, so if you're surprised at the animosity in this response, you can read for yourself: https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/06/tech/ai-communicating-with-dead/index.html Lose my email address, my phone number if you have it, and my name. Lose the very concept of object permanence regarding my existence.
My response to a recruitment email from a company that makes "AI-powered representations of a person's mind":
the thing about AI is its a term that covers stuff ranging from "revolutionary tool with obvious benefits" over "unobtrusive new technology that will cause marginal efficiency gains on preexisting systems" to "lucifer himself could not have dreamt up something this corrosive to human life on earth"
wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

You succeed in your career and meet your role model. "I really enjoyed chatting with you" you say.
"Huh?" they're confused. "You were probably talking to Claude."

People forget this but Chuck Norris jokes were originally Mr. T jokes. I don't know why that changed but clearly the world would have been better if it hadn't
the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

A yellow cow with a "fell for it again" as a face". The sun has a smug face. The two cups become a MAGA cap and a Soyjack meme face expressing dismay. The saw & ... stick... have eyeballs and a dismayed mouth. It is labeled "Cow Tools" following the classic Cow Tools cartoon of Gary Larson.
I don't think Fell for it Again Awards is active on here, but their best work:
There is absolutely no reason for Sam Altman to say anything but he is currently digging the biggest hole possible, responding to all and sundry on Twitter. This is the worst possible statement he could have given!
