It's harsh if it's not like a iced mint coffee. Go mocha for your bong water.

Listening to mediocre, dumb fuck white men has been a consistent fuck up this country refuses to acknowledge.

This is me I love doing it. I had so many rotten eggs back in the day I used to drop some for people to buy upgrades and such. I'm 100% unlocked so why not boost everyone there.

i think LLMs maybe approximate the pattern recognition aspect of consciousness but thats where it starts and stops. What is actually happening is that humans love to personify everything, every bundle of information is a little guy to us. we love seeing buddies that arent there

My birthday landed on a Caturday! Its a little funny. Anyhow I need to be more online, It’s too hard to stay inspired alone. You can’t only draw for work.

Thank you for the support everyone. This year there will be *new* art to look forward to.

For the next 24h, drop any infectious disease and/or vaccine-related questions in response to this post, and I will do my best to answer them. Answers are for information only, NOT medical advice.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things are improving now. You know where to find all of us to come hang out if you just need that sometimes too.

Where do I find a pediatrician that doesn't push vaccines?

matt.keller.33:
Look at your states medical boards. Find the pediatrician associated with the most childhood deaths.
That's your doctor.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

Common thread in all the things wrong with genAI use across industries is that genAI is fundamentally anti-community and community is the most important part of any discipline, tradition, craft, study.

Today is a day I should get offline. Not sure why but it just feels like I'm going to get angry disproportionately at things. Going to go stand out in the snow for a while and stare at the sky. Snow globe mode helps and the backyard is currently showing some decent snow coming down.

I know what you are trying to do. I know you're intentions are right Alex. I know what you are saying is technically correct as well, but just let me bitch out a shitty AI company that several of my friends are in legal crap with and it's exhausting them of spoons for 5 minutes today. please.

Stop trying to pretend it's people. It's that simple. It's an over generalization about AI being nothing but a copy machine and you're sitting here

Gemini Said They Could Only Be Together if He Killed Himself. Soon, He Was Dead. A new lawsuit alleges Google’s chatbot sent a Florida man on missions to find an android body it could inhabit. When that failed, it set a suicide countdown clock for him.
