Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

me ten minutes ago: “why am I seeing all these pictures of Diane Keaton?”

me one minute ago: “ooooohhhh nooooooooo”

He willingly gave up the landline a few years ago, which was amazing.

my 84-year-old father just used FAFO (correctly) in a text to me

muttering to myself under my breath until I die probably: “do not get bangs because demi moore did”

One way of thinking about the AI bubble is that it's the final gasp of a grift based on specialized GPU's instead of tulips, a logical continuation from crypto and NFT's and the metaverse.

Like, there's nowhere else for it to go, no other magical use for this shit other than as electronic waste.

Basically all the ai "value" is either investments in costly physical infrastructure or a handful of companies buying into / from each other.

Bc they run on hype, one of Altman's tricks has been announcing giant costs as though they were revenue

From the linked blog, “generative AI cannot tell a user how it arrived at a decision when it grades or evaluates work” - this is key and if parents are unaware of what’s happening (which they are) they should use this to push back. Demand the explanations for evaluations.

Just a reminder...

If your religion is any good or of any real use you'll never need to force it on anyone.

Forcing a religion on people only demonstrates how uncertain, insecure and desperate the advocates of the religion really are.

people are going to post AI slop...sometimes they just do not realize it at the time and have the good graces to delete it

but if they are told and keep posting it your safest action is just to block them because they will continue to spread it

Congrats to the Seattle mariners for locating the end of this game

I both love and hate infinite baseball.

OK rock paper scissors to decide it

I don't remember a time before this baseball game

New baseball rule: after the 14th inning, no gloves.

After the 15th inning it is time to replace one player with a dog until someone wins or it's all dogs.

the first version of bluesky was released in the third inning of this mariners/tigers game. not many people know this

having learned a long time ago not to look up every unsettling thing that becomes known to me, I am pleased to report that I succeed nine times out of ten

this is not one of those times

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

😂

There's absolutely an audience out there who doesn't care what you did to who or what you sold out for how much. If you're someone who abuses others or sells out for a big bag, congratulations, that's your audience. Enjoy it or don't, but don't come bitching to your ex about who you're with now.

People deciding they don't find you funny anymore isn't censorship. The first amendment doesn't guarantee you laughs or views on streaming or ticket sales. Be defensive or mad about it I guess, but that's not particularly funny either.

I stopped giving my heart to comedians a long time ago. If you're funny I hope you keep being funny and don't break the ephemeral and difficult-to-define thing that allows you to go on being funny. If you break it I probably won't find you all that funny anymore; hard to laugh when you have the ick.

Quite a pointed message:

Anyone who was paying attention during Gamergate recognizes these tactics.

“Oh *we’re* against doxxing, of course, but that person who got doxxed totally deserved it, and yeah, sure we’ve been calling for them to be fired and their lives ruined, but *we* didn’t personally do it.”

One of the crazy things about the AI bubble bursting is that consumer sentiment toward AI has always leaned skeptical to outright negative but it’s an industry propped up by pure billionaire greed, sycophancy, and childish fantasy

While we're waiting for the Chicago hearing to resume: Chicago journalists got their TRO against ICE.

If you take time to hear Aja pressed on responsibly sourced 220g vinyl, played on a Auditotron gyroturntable though a Turlingame phonon-stabilized amp with W-52 preamps into Wunderwaffe speakers in a quiet room with kinescopes of Playboy After Dark projected on the wall, the nuances really pop.

will update as others pop into my head

my criteria are a range from rolling my eyes at the mere mention of their name to actual visceral contempt

anyway RIP my replies/mentions
