Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.
Turns out the AI version feels more human than the real thing

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉
That you're into indie tabletop RPGs doesn't make you immune to the impulse to expect the GM do all the work. Saying "just use [system]" when you really mean "make the GM design a whole new game lightly inspired by [system]" doesn't become less noxious just because you weren't suggesting D&D.
No, both parties are not the same.
One does the evil.
One condones the evil and enables the evil and also often does the evil for the other.
It's a symbiotic relationship.
*talking to teenage militant atheist self*
current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church
teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government
current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one
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.
It's okay that we have gestapo so long as they wear gestapo name tags.
Christina Koch’s facial profile backlit by Earth in the background, through the spacecraft window
So, to sum up, a couple of days ago Christina Koch became the first woman to see Earth in its entirety, and today – right now, in fact – she is the first woman to see the Moon up close, and the first woman to see the far side. 🥹
All too often the heroes of such fantasies behave exactly as the villains do, acting with mindless violence, but the hero is on the “right” side and therefore will win. Right makes might.

“Rowling has made it abundantly clear that she thinks attacking transgender people via the legal system is a worthwhile cause and a good use of her vast personal fortune…there’s no way to watch this show without supporting Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting…”
Democratic voters: “Please, just oppose Republicans. That’s all we want. Stop the fascism.”
Democratic politicians: “What if we make you upload your government ID to read websites?”
Worse than worthless.
We all knew. We the people of the cartridge knew that online connections and hard drives meant patches, which meant day one updates. They tried to tell us it wouldn't, but we knew. Deep down we always knew.
Russia plans to illegally annex lands it invaded, even as its military falters. Israel Plans to Control Large Parts of Southern Lebanon, Defense Minister Says
The difference between these two is racism
People on twitter will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a Walmart" and then not firebomb a Walmart
Every single loser criticizing No Kings looks like this to me
Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution.
There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.
A sticker from ohmygollyembroidery on Etsy that says Trans Lives Are More Important Than Harry Potter.
The Trump administration is cutting a check for nearly $1 billion (your tax dollars) to a French energy company to walk away from offshore wind projects along the East Coast. The federal government is paying a foreign corporation to kill clean energy and keep fossil fuels flowing.
Nvidia’s CEO can spout whatever technonsense he likes about regurgitative AI, I’m not going to dignify it by reading a fucking word.
The conversation stops at the fact AI is toxic waste. Ethically, morally, financially, environmentally. You cannot rhetorically clear that checkpoint.
if wrestling is fake explain this
Short answer on Um Actually. It's a nerdy trivia show where the statements have one thing intentionally wrong. Players buzz in to correct the incorrect statement by saying "um actually..."
For this one the statement continues on another slide. The incorrect bit had to do with the tower falling
The rest of the question:
We did it. We defeated Mandelbrot
"Are you surprised about Cesar Chavez?"
Not really Pete Buttigieg just did an interview with Andrew Callaghan and most lefties are sharing his Nick Shirley debate. Almost like multiple women who accused Andrew of stalking and raping them don't matter compared to content
see?
here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared
