Polymarket comment by Pointed-Headrest 22h ago Jesus Christ returning would be catastrophic for the economy, dude could literally duplicate food. Our capital investments would plummet in a post-scarcity world.

Honestly, I wonder if some of the disgust is people who don't realize how effing bizarre the Kindle porno/romance underground self-publishing universe is? Like there are already people who do a novel a week. It's not surprising that AI can slot right in.

The fact that RLHF'd LLMs frequently say "You're not imagining it" suggests, to me, that we humans are looking for validation of our experience, and that we don't get that nearly enough. We really want to be told that we're not imagining it!

I'm having a hard time parsing what is visually happening with this burger, I think it's non-euclidian

And I’m here to tell you that as of late March 2020, Alex Jones’s pet health “expert” was coupling scaremongering about the eventual vaccine… *with pushing masking as hard as possible*

Yes, really

Honestly this is great news for Korea due how utterly smitten Takaichi is with both LJM and Korean culture. Another couple years of South Korea getting exactly what it wants lol.

King: why was your brother kicked off the burning man board?
Musk: because he wassa in the epstein files
King: oh
Musk: itsa not fair!
Musk: why they let him on the island anna not me???

I honestly think they overplayed their hands because their equal frothing rage over everything means their screaming just kinda becomes background noise after a point.

fake Newsweek cover, real text though. It's SCully, Mulder, and Skinner. The text says "Bisexuality, Not Gay. Not Straight. A New Sexual Identity Emerges"

Just remembered a photoshop I had a little fun with.

an orange cart on wheels with twelve water bottles that nest inside it like a big plastic wasp nest. it costs six hundred dollars american

the six hundred dollar gatorade branded rover bottle cart would be worth the investment if it made a long "pssssshht" noise and released a little cloud of mist when you pulled out a bottle

TX largely planned their new map around their supposed newfound support from Latinos. Who are probably the voting bloc that’s swung the widest back the other way over the last year.

Having read a good amount of this now - next time I see this thing, I hope every word in it is completely different.

my assessment

imagining a world where a transfem ski jumper qualifies for the olympics and spawns the most toxic Tucking Discourse you've ever seen in your life

Tantalus simulator…

Turns out this isolated village in the Andes would rather just take the medicine drug rather than fuck around with which herbs and fungi are analgesics and which will kill you horribly, who knew

a naked man standing in the jungle with the caption "you need antibiotics"

incredible that this buck naked guy standing in the jungle is like "you fucking idiot go get antibiotics"

Man whoever took this photo really hates her, love that

a fun thing that i occasionally find myself uselessly agonizing about is that the economic tail of trump wrecking our diplomatic relationships and global standing will be long and will likely begin to be felt in full under the next democratic presidency

and these people never have anything to say about the art! they never talk about what the art says to them, or how it makes them feel, because they don't care about the art, they just like inspiration porn

It's hard for me to hate on AI. Annoying as some uses of the technology can be they're still all willing to help a Texan get an abortion, to help a trans person score DIY HRT, to tell a user to keep the door shut if ICE is knocking without a warrant

The people who own them hate this, but it's true

I don't know who this is about but you really should have led with the sex trafficking thing

In the 90s Steve Bannon hired my mother to edit (or something like that) a script of his

Put another way, the lesson Trump has learned is that he can please his overtly white supremacist base by tweeting out that video about the Obamas, and he can also please Republicans like Tim Scott and Susan Collins by keeping all of the racist policies but just deleting that one racist post.

but i think we as liberals have been similarly remiss in refusing to understand the social dynamics--we liked the results, so we didn't look too closely at the machine. but what were the social-structural dynamics that made this movement of cultural change go?

today's woke 2 take is that it is not enough to praise woke 1. it is not enough to criticize woke 1. woke 1 was a movement that changed the culture in profound ways. what is necessary is to understand both why woke 1 was so successful and why it ran out of steam
