I BEAT THE WORLDS HARDEST POKEMON NUZLOCKE

IT TOOK 1 TRY AND 426 HOURS

Genuinely what the fuck is going on in Albania

This is why I ultimately have about as much patience for mid-2000s “GET RELIGION OUT OF POLITICS” shrieking as I do for MAGA’s shrieking for racial holy war

Mamdani should not be expected to apologize to anyone for his religious beliefs or those who claim to share them as a shield for atrocity

Nearly all of the left-liberal skepticism around Mamdani came from a place of “he’s Muslim and refuses to say he doesn’t take his religion seriously” laïcité that is one of the worst and most enduring domestic cultural legacies of the Global War on Terror

It’s very funny that a big portion of people who posted that “I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I’m not kidding” meme pitched a fit and called for a boycott when Mario Kart World was $80

Guys who crawled up into fame by running small businesses and mastering SEO and cloutchasing being more right wing than people who mastered a collaborative art form seems pretty intuitive to me

all the power in the world and it's worth nothing to them if the people whose guts they hate and whose approval they desperately crave can't see it. that's why we'll win in the end. they need us more than we need them.

What’s lost in this conversation is that language must always escape containment, so your playful little “clanker” slur is now being directed at people with bionic limbs.

Harmless fun, right? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8AjSabH/

Okay now we’re really poasting

If your response to a post about antisemitism is solely to play word-games, the only interpretation is that that you're fine with antisemitism.

I'm assuming people already know this when they see it done with the term "Islamophobia", yes?

DO NOT POINT THE UNIVERSAL FUNCTION APPROXIMATOR AT THE FACE OF GOD

Tim Pool was willing to sell out for $100k/vid, do we think $shitcomedian’s fee was more or less

one way you can tell that the current wave of ai innovation is real is how many people are irrationally upset about it or deeply disturbed because they are being forced to visit philosophical and ideological priors that make them uncomfortable

techbro is a slur for neurodivergent women

Chatbots will not destroy human society, put down the sci-fi books.

Also, lmao at the Ed Zitron boosting

Yeah, I often find myself irked by "haven't they watched [whatever]?"-type QRTs. I just don't think "this technology was portrayed negatively in fiction" is the slam dunk a lot of people seem to think it is! Media doesn't come down to us from above - it's written by people as fallible as you and I.

i was feeling pretty 50/50 at having accidentally invited a ton of people to discuss their robot fetishes in reply to me but this redeemed it all

not now sweetie i'm engaging in performatively tedious discourse within my highly curated internet ecosystem of people who mostly already agree with me

Every anti-AI hot take is like "Wow, this is incredibly sad. Truly pathetic. This is where civilization ends. Dark times ahead."

And then it is just a screenshot of someone posting a silly, casual 10-second experiment they did with ChatGPT before presumably moving on with their life.

I fundamentally don't understand people who are this scared of text predictors and image diffusers.

This is just what all politics are going to be like from now on.

people love to say "I'm begging you to read something by an actual expert" and they mean, specifically, Ed Zitron

I think Will Stancil was right when he said that when people on Bluesky talk about "AI experts" they specifically mean Ed Zitron.

I always wondered what the appeal of that guy was, the only thing I remember from him was Ukraine bashing

And a podcast. Of course a podcast.

having beliefs

DARE was like "all drugs even weed will make you explode and die" to the point where once people tried weed and were like oh this is fine they then rebounded onto harder drugs.

so when you say "ai is useless", someone tries it, and it's useful - they assume you must've been lying about everything.

Just noticed the username lmfao
