What they're actually saying is that their own hubris is making them denigrate their own humanity by ascribing magical anthropomorphic properties to electric sand.

Computer programmers be like:

Tech Won’t Save Us is celebrating 300 episodes! 🎉

This week @parismarx.com took over the show to discuss an issue that’s been motivating a lot of his work this year: the problem with our dependence on US tech and why we need digital sovereignty!

Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/300_...

I was selfish and took the milestone episode to explain why we must get off US tech, some options that are already available to us, but also why our governments need to step up.

We can’t keep allowing the US government and Silicon Valley billionaires to have so much power over us!

The large majority of food stamp (SNAP) recipients in America are children and the elderly.

Among all adults who rely food stamps, a large share are disabled (10%) or taking care of dependents. Of those who aren't, a majority are working in jobs that just don't pay very much.

C’mon man.

As Ring announces increased partnership with Flock and law enforcement, do not be fooled by reassurances that you can 'opt out.' Here's evidence that ICE tapped flock from local agencies sometimes without consent: www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending' A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." Stephanie Sy examines what’s b...

The US funds the bulk of biomedical research globally by far. It's not like other countries can simply take up the slack. The more likely: people leave research, new people don't become researchers. There is no happy ending. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

I thought you were pulling our leg, and that you’d put a comment in the ALT text. I blame the time change.😂

Sooner or later, someone is going to respond to one of these ICE goons by returning the violence and it's not going to end well -- not for the goon, not for the victim, not for any of us.

Mr. Klein just found out about the electoral college, huh?

Hmm…I dunno, guys. I’m starting to think “America First” might have been bullshit.🤔

The luxury gap: Trump builds his palace as Americans face going hungry Schmoozing the super-rich to fund a $300m ballroom while cutting food aid for those on low incomes threw the president’s architectural folly into sharp relief

Yep, the most effective use for LLMs as job replacements are closely correlated to how much generating bullshit is part of the job. It's why all these consulting firms are going nuts with it.

The company reported third-quarter earnings on Wednesday and said that the Reality Labs division recorded an operating loss of $4.4 billion while generating $470 million in sales during the period.

imagine your brilliant ideas getting results like this for like ten straight years and not getting fired

Zuckerberg said the company is "aggressively" preemptively building up capacity to prepare for the arrival of superintelligence, where Meta will be "ideally positioned for a generational paradigm shift in many large opportunities."

no wonder CEOs think everybody’s jobs can be replaced by AI. their jobs are generating bullshit

This really is part of it. So many of them rolled over without putting up a fight, so scenes of ordinary folks demonstrating and standing up to ICE goons are foreign and a bit shameful to them

A stop sign. Under the stop sign, another, red rectangular, sign is affixed. It says "Actually stop. Like, for real."

Someone in my neighborhood got FED. UP.

Will Smith has a reading foundation and visits public schools. Just so you know the guy who hit that game winning homer has done good things for the LAUSD

A still from "Lord of the Rings" shows Gandalf standing in the pitch-black mines of Moria holding up his staff, which is lit like a torch. Text says "We now have but one choice: We must face the long dark of Standard Time."

It's a four month journey to the other side

These are the same people that are all like, “WHY WOULD YOU HAVE SEX IF YOU DON’T WANT KIDS???”
Ummmmm…’cuz we’ve been married for 24 years, I still think he’s the bee’s knees, and we already have four kids? Why are you weird?👀

This whole thread.

“Oh no, someone might eat food!”

Good. That’s good.

“They might buy something they like.”

Cool.

“They might get a treat!”

Also cool.

Obama couldn't even ask for a different kind of mustard.

It's also worthwhile to point out that THE GREAT GATSBY was about violence, societal purity, and antisemitism from both top-down wealthy people and bottom-up working-class whites

Kristi Noem blasts “foreigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.
