Yes I am victim blaming, and no I don’t care: the entire industry has used fear as the cornerstone of its marketing for years; threatening people’s way of life in the abstract while damaging the economy, stealing peoples work etc. You don’t get to walk that back just because it became real for you.

doing a “husband’s run” (early morning grocery run for a missing breakfast item, because i get to wander the store and get whatever else i want) but committing the “husband’s folly” (forgetting the one item i was asked to get, eggs)
I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED
always interesting when and how the "God said it, I believe it, that settles it!" crowd suddenly finds nuance in how biblical laws are applied to a modern context.
How many times, in how many contexts, in how many ways am I going to have to say that this is what "AI" does— what it fundamentally *is*— before it sinks in? That all Bullshit engines do is statistically correlate training data & inputs via their weights to produce outputs you are likely to accept…
The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children
How? How do you double-check the accuracy, if you're not already an expert? Ask a different GenAI? Or do you, you know... Have to go and do the research you would have done anyway, pre-AI? Because I'm buggered if I can think of how you do that in a way where the GenAI saved you time.
Can you imagine the poor victim having to get the taste of a ice agent out of their mouth? I don't even know if they make mouthwash strong enough for that.
Man, someone sounds really mad that a bunch of Minneapolis soccer moms can manage op-sec while the Secretary of Defense texts his battle plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic.
I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
I’m physically following them around using my government name telling them to arrest me and they haven’t bothered to arrest me. Also half the US Attorney’s office here in MN just resigned! They do not have a case and they do not have manpower, but their only tool is trying to be menacing.
Hopefully he pisses someone off enough that they cave his skull in before he reaches 50, but that’s just wishful thinking
ice is full of shit but charlie kirk actually was a domestic terrorist and tyler robinson was acting in self defense
this is small comfort given he has state power and i don’t but i am struck by what an obviously weak and fragile man miller is. a blubbering piss baby whose entire affect and personality is an attempt to make up for his profound feelings of inadequacy
“Architects of AI” and it’s just people who are astroturfing a subset of AI technology that doesn’t have near the amount of use cases they claim
all the fake AI trash really contradicts one of the main ways we're told capitalism operates, with capitalists identifying wants/needs & developing products & services to meet those. turns out you can skip that step & just pretend. nigh everyone hates AI and it makes no money but it's everywhere
This meta of "ITS BAD" videos about games blows man. As a lifelong hater, this deep level of hating is exhausting mainly because I know it's not from a place of genuine critique, it's never a discussion for wanting things to be better, it's just being negative to generate clicks. Absolute shite
the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction
America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves.
If you worked at Aldi and posted a video of you pouring shit all over Aldi customers, you wouldn't work at Aldi.
Baby’s first words will be “get it twisted”
its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project
I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy
the fact that Kirk was killed by a potential superfan of a rival far-right activist really proves his point about the dangers of gang violence
We simply cannot live in a country where the death of hate mongers is a tragedy and the death of everyone else only warrants a shrug.
I can totally relate, there are many times in my life where I want to have a serious talk and confront someone being hateful or something but in the face of confrontation I fall to pieces 😭
