[defense wheels out a tv with their own ai of the victim] hey man, thanks for killing me

is it a "loneliness epidemic" or is it that a lot of people won't even use their brains to maintain the relationships they do have?

“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

imagine thinking anyone is making a radical statement at the met gala.

It's important to know that when tech bros say they are "data driven" what they mean by "data" is their own experience and the assumptions. This is why you regularly hear things like "UBI will destroy society" and "if you give away housing no one will work" despite all studies showing the contrary.

I think this comes from a good place but I disagree. A common thread in deradicalization stories is stigma: Once people start losing friends and jobs they reconsider their beliefs. Obviously you should try to be nice to people but you also need to draw a line where you won’t engage anymore.

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing

Imagine being lectured by RFK Jr about how to be healthy and then having Mark Zuckerberg tell you how many friends normal people should have

sorry but what a self-own. just because zuck has fewer than 3 friends doesn't mean the rest of us do.

Nothing would solve my loneliness like having 12 friends I made up

AI is like plastic. It has some legit uses, yes, but it's really bad for the environment so it should be used as little as possible. Unlike plastic, it's a whole lot easier to restrict it now, because it's only been around a few years rather than ~200. The time to stop it is now.

that Biden chose unwavering support for the Israeli genocide and Netanyahu - who was actively supporting his opponent - over anything, even the threat of Donald Trump, will define his legacy an abhorrent decision on every level

Keep in mind. Trump isn’t giving all these ICE Agents directions individually. They are choosing to do this. Stealing money. Making girls stand in the rain in their underwear. That’s their choice. Because people who chose to be ICE Agents chose it for pain it causes.

people call reeducation camps inhumane but there is literally no other way to deal with the level of brain damage people are bringing to the table.

people I work with keep talking about ChatGPT "deep research" and it makes me want to put a bullet in my brain

For most tasks, ChatGPT and other LLMs are just an unnecessary step. In the time it takes to get your prompt just right, verify the info, and clean up the writing, a competent person could have just done the work with their own brain.

the scene in the zone of interest when he's going down the stairs after the party

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

I'll never forgive that fucking white man for co-opting the demand to abolish ICE and turning it into a joke. Never.

it's "$5,000 for having a baby" but not: * wages for housework. * universal nurseries/daycare like in the GDR. * venezuela's pensions for mothers policy. time and again, the right-wing "radical imagination" is limited to breeding women like livestock and abandoning them.

This is the thing, it's just a business decision! Every non-public domain work in an anthology has to be licensed! It's expensive, and some stuff is just not going to make the cut.

this is what slave labor camps look like

How did we get from "Do not use Wikipedia as a source" to "ask hallucinating chatbot everything"?

love a senator imploring regular citizens to fight back against tyranny. dawg you spent the last twenty years giving machine guns and tanks to traffic cops this is like pushing your toddler into the ring with ivan drago

the core mystification of capitalism is the appearance of separation between politics and the market, such that the outcomes generated by the latter are taken not as political outcomes, but as natural, unavoidable consequences

is disney+ leftist? is todd howard a queer ally? is xbox game pass™ my friend?

this is true and *also* pairing a concern about an "aging labor force" with a desire to deport every immigrant makes it 100% clear this is a white birthrate anxiety thing. this is about white babies

sad to lose a pope that prayed for Palestine every day

hey, the last stuff the pope said publicly was about ending the genocide in Palestine. the world should listen to that instead of making jokes

Momentous day for rabid homophobes who converted to Catholicism as adults and also gay people who loved conclave

getting a yankee in the steamroom as a tribute to my rock and roll heroes

i can't believe that we have to know who james carville is just because he loves fucking his republican wife, what a pervert

“frankly, he has not won an election since before I was born” Lmaooooo

anecdotally, the one TERF i know is a 34 year old virgin femcel who resents butch lesbians and trans women for being able to get laid when she can't. it's literally ideology born of nasty resentment, and it's self-perpetuating--the nastier she is, the less anyone wants to be around her at all

If it was worthless they wouldn't have stolen it, and this should be obvious to everyone.

“only the state can decide what a woman is” is prima facie such a nasty political development, nearly dystopian in its implications. it shocks me that so many get duped into thinking it protects anyone but men

every day i see the face of a starving child or a man who has been taken from his family and disappeared and i just can't believe the endless capacity for cruelty in the human race. if god made us in his image what a monster he must be.
