Gwen Snyder is uncivil

this is such a baffling own goal

I mean, I guess it makes some sense in that they’re trying to convince business leaders that their bots are capable of replacing workers, but the overarching message from Big AI has been “AI will take all your jobs”

of course people hate that and hate you

one way the media really fucked us over when it came to trump was portraying him as a big-time, powerful exec who had a ton of world class executive experience, when in reality he was an LLC king who got most of what he had by ripping off people he hired to do the work and cheating on his taxes

CBS NEWS News the White House can trust

Once again, the ads in the print edition of @theonion.com are worth the price alone

*share, not seem

Yup, tracks

My lord, I just fully processed where it is this thread is taking me: the man is Slop Incarnate.

Trump is Slop Incarnate.

Trump is Slop Incarnate.

this is accurate and is why people have such a hard time noticing what would be incredibly obvious FTD symptoms in a person who had ever been behaviorally typical

I would do unspeakable things to get his brain donated to science, with a promise to release their raw data, when he goes

For a certain kind of consumer he hyper-radiates the correct emotional vibes in response to a given concept (like disgust vibes directed at immigrants), and the vague heavy-handedness of it IS the appeal.

The nonsense IS the appeal, too. It's a blank screen for projection.

Which is part of his appeal, probably.

Someone wrote about how folks with age-related cognition difficulties seem nonsense AI images/video based on confirmation of bias and identifiable emotional vibes and, that's Trump.

Total nonsense with total lack of concern for truth. But palpable vibes.

I think Trump experiences fear, jealousy, pleasure, disgust, rage, & that's about it, emotionally speaking.

Barely a peg above lizard shit.

Beyond that I think he's basically a glitchy human AI, trying to spit out a facsimile of human-sounding language without any real processing or understanding.

This is the thing with Trump, I honestly believe he experiences visceral emotional associations (especially disgust) with concepts, but has very little mental or even emotional engagement beyond that.

Reptilian not in the conspiratorial sense, but the old triune brain theory sense of the word

Can you talk more about this because it's basically my theory but I don't know enough about clinical narcissism to be like "oh actually I think things are even wilder than that"

i think all the time about how trump is one of the most singular, atypical people in america, whose entire life experience, going back at least him as a teenager, is so profoundly different from and unrelatable to almost anyone, including his own social class peers

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

the first and only impeachment proceeding against a supreme court justice was over excessive partisanship fyi

Oh my god what if Olivia is secretly a robot

An absolute horrific nightmare of two AI bots caught in a loop with each other is the perfect example of the total nothingness of AI “brains”.

it's 2025 and the gangly guy who appeared on a few seasons of The Office is now our only mirror to society

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.

No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

They sure do love lying.

immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes

The degradation of response services was already pretty apparent over hurricane season.

I'd wager the decline is about to accelerate.

I will keep saying.

If you have the means, make preparations now for likely emergencies in your area.

Plan for help to arrive very late, if it arrives at all.

Obviously this is not a defense of Greene, but it's clear that the secret sauce of Trump 2 is death threats and it's good when people who are receiving them start talking about it. That's the only way we get through this time.

To a certain extent, i think access to cheap consumer goods has papered over a lot of structural problems like housing costs and income inequality and they just ripped the bandaid off an open wound.

To the extent America has a state religion it is consumerism and oh man those tariffs are fixing to bring about a religious revival

My senior year the graduation soc/an class made shirts that said "deadlines are a social construct" and the department chair spent the entire last semester reminding us that theses were due soon and that yes deadlines are a social construct but please remember, social constructs are also real

Sociology major paying serious parent logic lawyering dividends here

Santa is a social construct

Social constructs are real

Therefore, Santa is technically real

You're welcome, fellow parents
