Can’t wait for the Ed Zitron victory lap if/when OpenAI eats shit, lol. Gonna need something to distract me from the economy being in free fall when it happens.

The biggest point a relative of mine made when building a house in the mid 90s, at which point people were getting colorful with home decor again, was that there was NOT going to be anything brown in it, haha.

Incorporating both is the better perspective. Don’t let examining media critically stop you from liking what you like.

Is the lie that OP is on their way to boot their PC, or that AI isn’t made in God’s image? 🤨

This guy has been leaving a variant of that comment for at least a month 😬 Maybe more, but I got bored of scrolling. Rationalist or investor mad about the bubble, is my shot in the dark.

My husband is the first and I’m at the ‘I learned to darn socks specifically to avoid that feeling’ level for the second. His ways disturb and frighten me.

‘Cops robbing you at gunpoint with their faces covered is just like cops searching your home with a warrant and taking items you can legally reclaim’ certainly is a position.

Civil asset forfeiture can be legally challenged and has documentation, even if the concept itself is bullshit. An unidentified ICE agent just taking and keeping it for themselves on a whim is significantly more severe.

Literally all generative AI has been shown to excel at is being the Gutenberg press of scamming.

ACV reeks, honestly. I imagine if you don’t know what it is and it’s just been used in an attack, then anxiety probably heightens your perception of it. He could have tried boiling it down or something, but it being plain ACV wouldn’t shock me. My dad used to drink it, nasty stuff by itself.

Just as a PSA, factually.co doesn’t have human fact checkers, it’s all AI. In this instance the headline is correct, but it’s always better to use something written by a person if it’s information you care about.

I gag every time I see one of those pies drowned in mystery sauce and mushy peas. Texture hell!!

We’re too vast with too many different cultures to ever work

Horseshit. People assert this and never justify it, and it’s just a right wing scare tactic to normalize the idea that people of different cultural backgrounds can’t live together. Any multicultural city you go to in America is, almost without exception, going to be a better place to live than some suburban white enclave.

Abraham Lincoln literally tricked American citizens into supporting the 13th Amendment, thinking it was necessary to stop the Civil War. In reality, Lincoln kept the Civil War going longer than necessary to pass the Amendment.

This is a weird perspective, considering the war ended and Lincoln died before the 13th was ratified. I’ve always been taught the 13th was to settle the legal status of slavery nationwide in a more permanent way than a presidential proclamation.

Oops, I didn’t realize last Friday was a no purchase day. I only spent $5 at a secondhand store, so the spirit was still there.

All I’ve heard for the past 20 years is that it’s impossible for Democrats to get anything done without a supermajority, and there’s nothing they could possibly do about Tea Party (and then MAGA) Republicans blocking all progressive legislation… but suddenly when Republicans are in charge none of these tactics are on the table from Democrats. Expecting people to not notice and criticize them for it is absurd.

How wonderful to have him live such a long life! We lost our girl to cancer before she turned 10, it would have been great to have her another decade.

Every time I see one of these, my first reaction is always ‘why does that white-throated sparrow look weird?’ before I realize it’s because it’s not one. Nice pics! The singing one especially, I always love seeing them stick their little tongues out!

Abolish ICE and then prosecute them. Or the other way around, not that important.

Instantly heard the intro music he uses. Picking some of the chillest music in existence was such a good call for a channel about people intensely concentrating on high reaction speed gameplay.
