I haven’t watched it at least 10 years. I recall that when I first saw it, writing like this came across as facile and cartoonish. US politics have a way of lowering your expectations it seems.

How does this not have a “suggestive content” label?

The Jesse Singal Follower auto-labeler continues to work well for setting expectations.

That’d be great… if the people who support them cared about reality and actual competence.

This is something that has been on my mind for a bit, and there might be a privacy silver lining to it. Some longer thoughts: numergent.com/2025-02/GPT-...

Good to have you here! Having said that, I’m going to be “that guy” and suggest that you: - should use the domain as username, given the inevitable increase in crypto scams in here, and; - may want to post more native content, instead of a link to a page full of Twitter links.

Scientists, picture me (with your consent) gently holding your face between my hands and saying: I am out here in the TRENCHES and men out here raise a million dollars with zero conditions based on a 15 minute phone call and YOU GUYS. ARE CURING. CANCER. Now is not the time for shyness

This is one of yours "do for a living that thing that you're so obsessed about that if it didn't make someone money it'd be considered a disability" things, isn't it?

Am I remembering correctly that Apple’s introduction did not mention OpenAI? I remember it from press releases, but not from the massive Apple Intelligence presentation.

My favorite trivia about Dr. Strangelove is that Slim Pickens was never told it was a comedy - that’s him acting straight. It’s more and more looking like Kubrick didn’t think it was one either.

Alright, saving that image for "stares in Goldblum".

This looks like someone clicked Randomize on a character generator until they hit on the most unsettling, likely-to-cause-sartorial-seizures image possible, and then pasted a head over it. I'm going to tag @dieworkwear.bsky.social just because I'm mean.

I only had him at rampaging, pro-fascist dick, but yeah, seems he might be too if he's surprised at grifters grifting.

Mr. Betteridge, that was not a headline.
