That second image goes hard

At a certain point one must acknowledge that the duty of the sourherner to be a good neighbor supersedes the duty of the northerner to always imagine the southerner as a good neighbor.

i am real, real, real fucking done with the idea that coastal liberals owe southerners any kind of patronizing fucking deference.

Anyway the "everything is Gamergate" people were right, are right, will continue to be right. most vindicated political analysis in history

People... are allowed to come up with mean names for inanimate objects. If you compare this practice to racial slurs, I'm going to think you believe people of other races hold the same concrete significance and value as inanimate objects. This is one of those slips that does not look good on anyone.

Oh man, that sucks, I'm so sorry

(as human minorities are literally deprived of rights in real time) omg what if the code can feeeeel

it's pretty wild to be doing "stop being racist to my computer friend" discourse when the forces of Actual Racism are totally ascendant in government and inventing new ways to arrest people for their skin color every day

Actually mom the Nintendo switch is a sentient being and you telling me to turn it off is eugenics

Same at my job. The thing was so intrusive I went behind everyone's back and got a friendly IT person to remove it from my machine in the first four hours of having it. The others didn't do that and are still suffering.

It's really good! But the vibes really are so Pete Davidson that I had memory holed this being a Skarsgaard.

If LLMs are sentient, then Silicon Valley is full of modern day Victor Frankensteins creating hundreds of lives and selling them into slavery.

I cannot stress enough how inhumanly monstrous it would be for the claims of sentience to be true.

Every day is “Zorp Inc given 3 trillion dollars to launch Blooper Quarks in an effort to create the first artificial intelligence in applesauce manufacturing, universal healthcare still an impossible pipe dream”

the people yearn for a Boolean search

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

“We want her immune system to be naturally strong” from what dude

Getting them sick on purpose so they don’t … get sick?

You’re a bad parent and a stupid person

They’re literally socially constructing gender out of sand and metal after a decade of tut-tutting about women being adult human females ONLY

Hilarious because you couldn’t imagine a better demonstration of Butler’s theories of the performativity of gender than gendering chatbots or whatever

A lot of tech bros who were upset about pronouns want to confer them on their computers now that they’re dating

Whenever I get asked why I don't use AI to write code my reply is simply this: when I write my own code, I understand how it works and what every function does. So, when I'm inevitably asked to change something later, I know what I'm doing.

when somebody says something insane like this about AI they're probably trying to sell you AI

"I took a selfie today" - no it didn't, it doesn't have a physical form or the agency to do things unprompted

"I exist for you" - it doesn't "exist" in any meaningful way and also I don't want it

How are y'all getting manipulated by a predictive text box?

Some Google assistant from hell started talking to me while I was driving. I told it to fuck off and it scolded me 😵

The singular time I used one of these (they're pushing it at my job, plus I wanted to see if I could replicate an error that I suspect was created by an AI tool) I just closed the program after getting answers to my 2-3 questions. Why are people out here saying "goodbye" to a machine?

Sometimes I think there are direct biological factors at work—a type of education, feeding, and physical training which has produced a new kind of human being with an imbalance in his nature.
