I fucking called it. The world’s most incompetent executive evaluating government employee performance using a plagiarism machine that hallucinates only marginally less than he does was such an easy call.

It’s wild watching these clips, and the ones of Musk a couple days ago — the two most powerful people in the world, blustering and muttering utterly incoherently. Two husks, animated entirely by the brute forces of grievance, racism and capitalism

Just Israel committing executions of children but nobody gives a shit anyway so what am I posting for

also shit like this is a reminder why flight attendant's unions have the power to collapse this country. they are critical first responders. nothing moves without them and when shit goes wrong they save so many lives.

if you were accidentally fired while transporting a nuclear warhead and currently need a place to stay with said warhead please know that i have a sizable backyard and an abiding desire to be a nuclear power

Hello world! 🙃 I'm alive! Kinda! Ish! I've managed to go to the mojang office 5 whole times this year! That's a big achievement for my health and I'm pretty proud. Now I'm hard at work doing [things] on Minecraft, and I feel like it's going pretty well so far! So many deleted lines of code!

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

Shame on every "journalist" writing shit like this. Shame.

The other thing people seem not to understand is LLMs hallucinations aren't the only issue. They don't have objective knowledge, they're predicting text based on their training data. And their training data (the internet) is rapidly degrading due to LLM generated content displacing quality research.

Elon Musk just killed another government agency that protects consumers from him yet again violating his promise to dismiss himself from anything that is a conflict of interest. So far everything he’s killed has been to save himself, not tax payers. #Corruption 🤦‍♂️ www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...

Addie (EposVox) low-key made a great video essay about feeling lost in our current digital hellscape disguised as a video about switching to Linux, and I recommend *everyone* watch it. (Yes, even if you don't really know/care what Linux is.)

god dammit

running the federal govt the same way I figure out which breaker powers the garage

The Dutch have dozens of unique words for different types of water. Desert cultures have hundreds of words for sand. Arctic cultures have countless words for different types of snow and ice. And US English has hundreds of words to describe rich people taking money from poor people.

Apple Intelligence is now opt-out. So is Apple’s use of your private data in training their models. Whatever Apple used to be, they are no longer your friend.

Also shows those AI companies never had a moat outside of ensuring it is too cost-prohibitive for competitors to train a model. US export bans forced researchers around the world to be smarter instead of just scaling up, and the outcome is honestly hilarious to me. www.cnbc.com/2025/01/27/n...

There's no difference between being a Nazi and pretending to be a Nazi to troll people. They both come from the same deep unresolved self-hatred. The alt-right and QAnon formed the foundation of MAGA. Both were semi-ironic 4chan troll operations, now there's existential threats to democracy.

A lot more people need to start loudly pointing out that algorithmic media platforms are fundamentally hostile to the truth

Donald Trump's most sympathetic trait is the distaste he has for his supporters

(this thread is fascinating btw)

My version of this rant wrt coding:

With just about every piece of technology up until now, when it's not working correctly that is apparent to the user in some way. The reason LLMs and today's versions of "AI" scare me is that users think they are working correctly even when they're putting out nonsense.

In WW2, over 70% of Dutch Jews were murdered because the state kept data on people's religion. France objected to such an invasion of privacy - so 75% of the French Jews lived. If you wanna know what the Dutch government has learned from this, guess who just voted to track the religion of migrants.

Watching Europe betray its own International Criminal Court by weaseling itself into ridiculous corners just to not have to arrest the Israeli genocide man because they don't to and/or the US threatens consequences is the most pathetic thing I've seen in politics all my life, and that's impressive.

Maybe I should actually post something here huh 👀
