Fuck yeah, two glories for every hallelujah.

This is will be a great entry in my ongoing game of "Magic: the Gathering Card or Philosophy Thought Experiment"?

Look, alls I'm asking is, was anyone else's only begotten son even considered for this job?

Cataracts? Trasvizzio (tm) brand lens implants may be right for you!

_Let the Technically Correct One In_

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Sure, but what are the opinions of three random old white dudes in a Wisconsin diner about these seafloor microbes?

EU-Xpress

"I don't like Rocky Road."

"Well, I can't agree. I really like Rocky Road."

"My entire personality henceforth will now be hating Rocky Road and hating everyone who refuses to say they hate it even more."

So-called conservatives have further evolved from writing impossible-to-top self-parody to just copying the negative articles about themselves from the other side and then appending a "(complimentary)" to the end.

Tweet: @vexwerewolf Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth" Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem Show this thread 9 paints • 12 hrs The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

Amazing

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

LLMs are doubly deceptive. Most people think that they can ask it a question and get an answer. The majority of the rest think that you can ask an LLM a question and it will return what an answer might look like, statistically.

But it's actually even worse. It doesn't "read" the prompt; it guesses.

"Grow extra fingers and type faster! Sprout wings and fly! MUSH! Mush, you Neanderthal numbskulls!"

Music criticism has seemingly been an infinite regression of hipper-than-thou contrarianism for at least as long as the relevant sense of the word "hip" has existed. Before that, I assume it was hepper-than-thou, but otherwise the same.

As I said during the first term, John Bolton is one of the few Trump appointees who has a weird kind of integrity, as he will throw his wholeheartdd support behind whoever he believes is likeliest to create the most Iranian war orphans.

"Status: A"

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Trying to decide exactly how much cholera I'd accept in exchange for this.

Hard to parse any of this, but it sounds like the Bluesky honchos banned a guy from Blacksky? Which is nominally its own instance? Thereby proving by their own actions that the technology behind their dreamed-of technotopia doesn't work?

IDK, maybe just don't support Nazis over their victims?

As the Lacedaemonians say: "If."

Give or take some war crimes.
