does it ever disturb anyone how willing our governments are to drop bombs and murder indiscriminately

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Good water level music in a video game should make you feel as if you have returned to the womb.

i can’t take the hypocrisy in so much western media coverage of israel’s bombing of iran and iran’s retaliation. israel can do whatever it wants and they’ll find a way to legitimize it, but iran is positioned as fundamentally evil and thus deserving of attack and bloodthirsty in its response.

great job with the boycott everyone. that’ll teach em

In my experience using LLM tools (it's "encouraged" where I work), what stands out to me the most about it is that it never says "I don't know". It ALWAYS has an answer for everything, and just like humans that act like that, what it says is never trustworthy .

the rise of ever-better AI deep fakes is really validating my choice both to stay on text based media and my passionate hatred of being filmed or photographed, I gotta say

this is the only Seinfeld music you should imagine

The one kind of impressive thing that AI has accomplished is convincing lazy midwits with zero taste that they are actually cutting edge genius on the vanguard of culture

As a creative someone looking for a job, I can confirm this much, at least. Numerous job listings expect/demand AI use, and thus expect one worker to do the job of 3 or 4. Which shows a) how little they know about AI output, and b) how little they care about their final product.

most cutting thing you can say is "who's this clown?" because it implies they're a) a clown & b) not even one of the better-known clowns

if true– no “christian” on earth can seriously claim these people are acting with any relevance to their so-called faith. This is black-hearted hatred, all the way down.

when we stopped doing manuals with the video games. that’s when society started to decline

Take a seat with Knuckles while enjoying the tranquil sounds of Mystic Ruins.

AI art is the aesthetic of fascism

me: "everything is going to shit. Ecological collapse continues across the planet, in your country there is no opposition party. weeping and gnashing of teeth to intensify." also me: "bro you ever softboiled an egg? put that on some toast? it's magnificent"

check out my podcast sometime. it's called "Hangin' Out With The Boys" and every week me and 49 other guys all talk over each other for about an hour. we cover no topics whatsoever.

trying to think of more repellant collections of words than “exciting new AI features” or “monthly subscription service”

Well caring deeply about politics turned out to be a mistake. Time to instead become emotionally invested in a field where I’ll never be let down: sports

i haven’t cared about marvel stuff for a long time but anything that has Vincent D’onofrio as Wilson Fisk has my absolute undivided attention

I see every new piece of art or fiction as a small miracle. We live in a society where most people’s time is eaten up just trying to survive and pay the bills. We are told art has little value. Yet artists persevere and still find ways to create. That’s incredible.

One of the brilliant things our current iteration of oligarchs did is get people to conceive of free speech as being able to call your coworkers slurs rather than using it to say stuff like why are my tax dollars subsidizing your billionaire ass

these are the worst people and deserve worse fates than can be comfortably imagined

i miss when i got next to no news whatsoever on this website. only the jokes and the hog

me choosing to do a Flush run in Balatro for the 45th game in a row

a lot of anti-headache rhetoric going around lately. this is just the latest example

Stay vigilant and fight disinformation about CDs
