Your daily opossum break:

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.

Calvin & Hobbes is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic strips of all time and I feel like we STILL underrate it.

Bluesky is funny because I can’t recall any other platform where its growth is explicitly tied to the collective hate for one person.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

It is so frustrating when people say that Trump needs a pretext to escalate or a reason to be authoritarian. There is no justification for either and he has already done both without needing an excuse. This is what abusers do. They victimize regardless of what their victims do

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

Imagine being such an inept writer that you have to stand on the necks of marginalized groups & shout, “But the people whose poetry I would never read need AI to be seen!” so you can continue being a lazy shit? Fucking gross & huge loser behavior.

I think if you grabbed any famous thinker from centuries ago and showed them Wikipedia and told them it was free for anyone to access, they would say it is humanity's crowning achievement and would be indifferent to the moon landings, modern medicine, flight, or anything else you showed them

in fiction i will fully buy into the idea that a grey box robot that made a sad-sounding beep is alive and conscious. when the same is asked of me in reality i am revolted. i desire to kick the dancing boston dynamics robots apart

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

Style guides and the philosophy behind the logo from a 1999 Dreamcast Press Kit. The logo represents an uplifting community, optimistic and chill. Guidelines are presented on what to do if you can't fit in the swirl, and elsewhere, it's stated firmly that red is *not* to be used as a background.
