two contradictory ideas that i hold in my head at the same time: 1) i think the threat to both SNAP recipients and federal workers is significant enough now that even bad deals are worth making to prevent further harm, and, 2) everyone who caves now should retire in shame

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

Samsara

We could feed, clothe, and house so many human beings.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

My view on all the LLM-powered code review processes I've seen: 90% of it is just creating text slop absolutely nobody reads.

Doing it yourself, before you push to GH, is fine. But making your co-workers interpret this noisy slop is wasting their time.

Is there any other industry where this is a thing? Trying to picture Enterprise buying cars and renting them to Toyota en masse...

Honestly it seems to me that one of the most important tasks for modern parents is raising their kids to be mostly offline normies

This is why it's important for you to remove source identifiers from links!!

Every person who says "of course there are some uses for LLMs" should be forced to immediately list what those uses are, taking into account that:

a) they cannot be accurate and there is no way to make them accurate

b) they have been repeatedly shown to make users dumber and worse at their jobs

A drawing of a horse. The front half of the horse is black. The back half of the horse is white. The tail is black. Text reads: I defragged my zebra

This one is only for Blueskyers of a certain age.

my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

I’m getting to the age where I’m pretty sure everything is a scam. Unknown number? Scam. Facebook friend request? Scam. Movie over 90 minutes? Scam. Person being nice to me? Definitely a scam.

Stacey Sobelman staceysobelman ICE is offering a $45,000 SIGNING BONUS plus $100,000 starting salary. I make $55,000 as a teacher in my 8th year with a Masters. It was never true that wE dOn'T hAvE eNoUgH mOnEy to pay teachers more. It was always intentional. Education has been INTENTIONALLY defunded for decades because an educated populous is a threat to power. Read the books. Do the work. They are TERRIFIED of education.

Well fuck.

I like being a human being who makes decisions about this one wild and precious life I’ve been given, even when it is sometimes annoying or overwhelming. It is life and it is meant to be lived. I do not want robot-mommy-slave to do that for me. Thanks anyway though, ya freak.

This is incredible

I’m not “tired at 8pm,” I’m the demon barber of sleep sleep

The new pope is younger than 13 members of the Senate Democratic caucus

Congress is back from recess after the weekend. Will anyone file articles of impeachment for expelling a U.S. citizen who is 4 years old and also has cancer.

From their website: pronounced /vit/, like "veet" 🤷‍♀️

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently.

I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

He looks like he's ready for a trip to Fonda!
