Fixer Optional

Oh yeah since I remembered my password:

These books make great Christmas presents for the cynical paranoiac in your life

Overheard a great interaction between the guys renovating the flat next to mine.

"You have never pet a cat? You must try, it's so good."

I do not like ChatGPT,
Not when it’s paid, nor when it’s free.
I will not use it for a thing,
Especially not for referencing.
It cannot help me with email,
It’s law advice can lead to jail.
It cannot bring back my late Nan,
I do not like it, Sam-Alt-Man.

The further we stray from DIY gigs, the more we run into people who's idea of being "alternative" is just replicating the same plastic celebrity worship bullshit as mainstream culture, just in a black t shirt

The government's climbdown on day one rights against unfair dismissal was sold to us as a way out of the impasse on the Employment Rights Bill. Pragmatism, eh? Well guess what? The business lobby (via the Lords) isn’t giving up & is pushing for more concessions. Funny that. 🤔

Every young generation explores retro technology because it’s cheap and plentiful and exotic but it’s more alluring when current technology gets actively shittier, more evil and invasive.

The harder they try to make AI useful the less useful it is…

Gammon Four Lions should ne a thing. There's like a million and one hard-hitting dramas like This is England and American History X that portray neo-nazis as variously dangerous and/or full of tragic pathos; I want one that portrays them as bumbling dipshit facebook dads and coked up lads on tour.

There were also a group of men (landlords and company directors) who had a good laugh by burning an effigy of Grenfell, and I can't imagine that in China these men would continue to live upper middle-class lives. People genuinely get 'cancelled' there, and sometimes that's for the best.

What a great headline

You are now picturing a 2017 sad Bart Simpson edit

Actual artists have a community, genAI users just have a fistful of hot dogshit an Epstein associate is losing billions of dollars on.

Gosh, if only someone had tried to warn him that this would happen

Fuck off all stores

I don't care if it's black friday

Stop emailing me

Yeah, horrible. Says a lot about the people who are enticed by it

To every market, a product. What a disgusting system

"AI girls never say no" huh

There are entire books about this! And the answer is “bragging to journalists about how cleverly they had shitehoused their own party to defeat”, “sending Times journos pissy WhatsApps” and “fretting in case someone shouted ‘LOL you suckup wankers’ when they unveiled the sixty foot Union flag”.

at Fixer Optional we do negotiate with Terrorists. And by terrorists we mean @abivasquez.bsky.social 's laptop

Hey everyone, please consider checking out my novella, it's really good and only £3.99. Support the punx, buy a book etc

Donald Trump is the planted flag of every crook and rapist. He is the lost cause of the south. He is the vice of the slave master, the shadow that clouds his superego at all hours, the sweat on his brow that makes him never end in his gluttony, lust, and greed. He is spiritual excrement incarnate.

Starmers entire project is one of profound pessimism and borderline irrational hatred of idealism as a corbynite value. He (or mcsweeney or whatever) basically has the entire country trapped in a doom spiral because he thinks thats a mature decision

Feels very 21:00 for 16:00. Winter enjoyers, defend this

When a big media company uses genai slop instead of human made art, it is not just taking a job away from one artist to make that thing but *multiple* artists involved in all the things.

The entire artist-hiring pipeline gets destroyed in favor of chugging from the hot dogshit pipeline.

If I was a journalist right now I would deadass ask donny if he spits or swallows

The UK govt: "Hmm, we might have to ban VPNs & a whole range of otehr basic privacy safeguards, to Protect The Children, y'know."

Also the UK govt: "It's perfectly fine to let Nazi billionaire & friend of Epstein Peter Thiel trawl through the entire corpus of NHS personal data on your children."

"I supplied everyone but the typewriter factory. I sold AI generated essays to students, AI detectors to teachers. I even sold image generators to the chuds when they were memeing on my fellow techbros. Never sold to Peter Thiel - not on any moral grounds, in those days his checks always bounced."

Now, I'm no shrink, but that doesn't sound like a healthy way to heal one's trauma.

And even if it is, must one share said CP publicly to heal?

Very odd argument. Don't like that.

Ain't that the truth. I'm pretty sure the lolicon-to-actual-pedophile pipeline is a real thing, too
