Let this be a lesson to California gubernatorial candidates polling at 3%
I have the most horrible feeling that the primary is gonna end up with two republicans to choose from
The best part is that if this passed you KNOW that every single tech c-suite fucker would suddenly have contracts for $90k in actual compensation and the other multiple millions in untaxed stock
I’d rather pay taxes and bring California’s educational system back to being the best in the country like it was before Prop 13
The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them.
Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?
Someone yell at me to finish scrubbing and refilling litter boxes 2 and 3 though
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work
“Where the fuck did you pick *that* up, you malfunctioning bag of bits?”
My mom felt ~fancy~ when she and dad could afford to hire someone to come in and do just the heavy floor etc cleaning once or twice a month
I believe we dumped the ones who came in specifically as “refugees” under Trump into Texas and Idaho
El Em Ay, as the children say, Oh
Today I played with power tools to make my cats happy.
That is the power of voting with my pocketbook - I control it
No one else gets to decide how I spend my money
More pointedly, “which direction have prices moved in the last week?”
It’s definitely an unfortunate(?) resemblance
Calvinism went from from “everyone outwardly acts like they’re one of the saved for fear of shunning” to “everyone does whatever the fuck they want because they believe they’re the saved and therefore have no need to actually act like it”
I’m wondering whether the sedevacantists read the writing on the wall or if this accelerates their schism in hopes of being “the good ones”
Are they even notifying families?
The entrance exam for Elite involves one of those giant crochet hooks the ancient Egyptians stuck up the noses of people they were embalming
When Israel says their violence is done to protect all Jews and make the world safer for us, we can only look at incidents like this and see that is obviously not true. They’re making it more dangerous for us EVERYWHERE.
The luddites were cool as hell and I’m proud to be compared to them. Also, they didn’t hate technology; they objected to their bosses replacing their stable skilled jobs with new tech that produced an inferior product for cheaper, which certainly sounds like a familiar tune to me
If someone were to suggest this on tomorrow's Fox & Friends there's a nonzero chance it would happen.
Both is good
Hard to tell how much of that was deliberate and how much was just selecting for the ones dumb enough to think Musk was a good boss
Maybe it should matter that the President of the United States threatened the lives of the Iranian soccer team, who can say
This is what happens when you have zero hobbies that bring you joy that you’d like more time to work on
They’re telling us they have no intention of genuinely changing what power is doing in this country without actually telling us
Any way it is not intended to be a gotcha. There's no Dem party "project 2027" for the House. So you can't know what they plan to do with any power they get.
The path back, is as long as the path there.
Maybe you can travel it faster than before, due to experience or other changes in circumstances? But if it took you decades to get there, it's unlikely it will only take you days to get back.
You may run out of time before you make it back. He gets that
I don’t think we talk enough about how the foundational, most aspirational premise of the AI industry is “what if there was a human-level intelligence that didn’t have human rights.” Like. Exploitation is literally the whole point! Of COURSE they hold human life, intelligence and labour in contempt!
I bet it’s much more often “the person tailgating the person who knows has to stamp hard on their brakes” than that the person who knows where the limit changes are slows down “too much”
