This made my day

Also recommend butterflies. They're lovely.

Have you seen the old fox clip where Hegseth says he doesn't wash his hands? He says germs aren't real because he can't see them.

Not to mention airborne transmission denial is effectively germ theory denial, it's pretty dismal out here.

Taco Bell CEO recently said the same: "We see a future where stuffed chalupas and Baja blast mountain dew are seen as utilities like electricity or water. We will make a burrito so tasty it makes humanity obsolete."

AGI is a completely incoherent concept. It's just sci-fi. Intelligence is a worthless concept and the notion that it can exponentially improve itself is based on nothing.

It's like taco bell saying they've made a burrito so good they can't release it. It will artificially increase its tastiness!!!

You have to wonder for how long we will continue seeing infections from 2020 continue to show up (in absurdly high quantities) in wastewater.

Ngl the last 100 chapters were barely coherent and the ending could have been slotted in at pretty much any point in that time lol

Honestly, I feel like the primary purpose of AI targeting is to 1. remove responsibility, and 2. Be able to generate any target they want with deliberately cooked slop data, I.e. how the IOF "precision targeted" 90% of Gaza.

Is that... Fairly accurate? You'll have better thoughts than me I'm sure

Chuck Schumer: ‘The American People Deserve A President Who Can More Credibly Justify War With Iran’ WASHINGTON—In a pointed critique of President Trump’s foreign policy leadership, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stated to members of the press Thursday that “the American people deserve a presid...

Highly recommend his collab pod with Nicole Conlan, The Climate Denier's Playbook

I've been making this joke in my bale Batman impression for like 15 years lmao

With this salvo, Kansas has escalated what will be a federal effort to establish a Jim Crow system of lawfully enforced second-class citizenship aimed at trans American

It was already the case but now it's inarguable; anyone who doesn't fully support trans people is an enemy of all civil rights.

I wish the New York Times hated rich pedophiles as much as they hate trans kids.

Some of those who execute civilians
Are the same who burn memorials

Sample Claude terminal output for this query

Claude, people don't believe that I'm productive because of you.

They didn't believe it when I refused to measure and said they simply had to accept my conclusion because it's obvious to me

Tell me the scientific theory of why they're snowflakes in an echo chamber

I can't really imagine how frustrating it is, but something I've thought in recent weeks as we hear more about Krauss and others is "Chanda is incredible for navigating through all these scumbags". Perhaps it is a hollow thing in a sense, but you are beyond valid and vindicated.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Anyone who thought prasad was respectable should be metaphorically defenestrated from public health lol.

He was grifting for years for this very moment and it was extremely obvious to anyone who isn't a worthless shmuck

Amazing! From your replies alone I thought to myself "this fellow would probably love David's stuff" - seems you beat me to it!

And yeah, agents, "reasoning" models, gpt 4, gpt 5, it's all mostly just rearranging gpt3 in different configurations with no interesting results (wow, fake benchmarks!)

Pivot to AI It can't be that stupid, you must be prompting it wrong

Okay so funny thing I first said access stenographers to @davidgerard.co.uk , who runs a nifty daily video/podcast/blog on AI bullshit. Called pivot to ai: pivot-to-ai.com

The "agentic" grift started a year ago, he's covered that and everything else under the sun. The ai grift is bottomless

I said that to someone the other day and was proud of it lol. I think there are varying degrees of credulity and cynicism, but the end result is the same mindless ad copy published as journalism

"A lot of things to a lot of people"!!

Ngl it was cathartic to see someone shitting on him on the timeline lmao. He's still a true believer for musk in 2026. Fucking embarrassing.

His infantile apologetics betray that he sees the interstellar (vaporware) ends as being worth the means.
