Music puked up an automatic playlist that I enjoy. But holy hell it's full off of bands with nihilistic names.

Faith No More
Suicidal Tendencies
Corrosion of Conformity
Rage Against the Machine
Bad Religion
Too Much Joy

Song wise the Crüxshadows may actually have the most positive song on the list

so adorable

So cute

Thanks for the recommendation.

OMG. So fun

Two young wild rabbits nose to nose and adorable as all get out

On the east coast the buns are less serious but no less worthy of your attention

Agreed, that's a bun with gravitas

Tried to reorder tea from a French company that we really like, and not only will they no longer ship to the U.S., if you try to enter a U.S. address, it returns an "invalid country" error message.

Which ... yeah.

Change one letter, ruin a candy

Change one letter, ruin a candy

Almond Job

That's a good way to describe it. I finished that shaking from adrenaline.

That was honestly frightening.

Wow.

another 1.2 million
"users active in a given week [...] indicate potentially heightened levels of emotional attachment to ChatGPT"

That sounds OK. Until you read that Open AI says that they have 800 million weekly users. That means

560,000 users displaying signs of psychosis or mania
1.2 million users indicating suicidal plan/intent.

HOLY FUCK!

and
"around 0.15% of users active in a given week have conversations that include explicit indicators of potential suicidal planning or intent and 0.05% of messages contain explicit or implicit indicators of suicidal ideation or intent"

Strengthening ChatGPT’s responses in sensitive conversations We worked with more than 170 mental health experts to help ChatGPT more reliably recognize signs of distress, respond with care, and guide people toward real-world support–reducing responses that fall...

HOLY FUCK!

GPT released a paper that says
"around 0.07% of users active in a given week [...] indicate possible signs of mental health emergencies related to psychosis or mania"

These AI companies have each built their own psychosis machine. And somehow they are all are standing around completely unable to understand why their users are having problems

It’s pretty clear that humans can’t handle a machine that says “every idea that just pops into your head is brilliant and we should explore further”

Completely unrelated, I wonder what it’s like to have a billion dollars…

By leaving Ruth’s Chris before the bill arrives I’m forcing the issue of giving me free food. It’s a strategy known steak-dashing.

JFC, Bloomberg this is illegal and wildly immoral not a fucking strategy.

I disagree

That man looks exactly like a dapper jewel thief who just made the score of a lifetime.

That's fair

Dood, if you want to borrow a few bucks it's fine. You don't have to pretend to make a "fair" wager

the Washington Post, which under Jeff Bezos' direction has taken a dive for Trump, is now asking "Can anyone stop Trump's teardown of the East Wing"

That's such a good question! Tell me, did you try endorsing his opponent in the 2024 election?

the panting over-enthusiasm for Platner is another example of how you should never be horny on Maine.

If you took a drink every time that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson didn't know something you would be dead from alcohol poisoning.

Fair enough. I searched for large margarita.

Found it. Justice League: Gods and Monsters. It sounds "edgy"

Where's this Harley from?

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan here."

You know, I don't think this is disingenuous.

I think that this is how they operate and they can't imagine anyone who operates any other way.

"Of course they're paid protestors, no one I know ever goes to a protest for free."

"Of course they're pedofiles, all powerful people that I know are"

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract
