imagine if you were at the airport and you got your checked luggage back but it was significantly lighter than you expected and you opened it up and there was just a note that said "You have been PRANKED by the TSA! Check the next bag over Dipshit"

if you're opposed to the dominance and acceleration of AI usage you need to become way less fucking stupid about your criticisms of it

BONNE FÊTE NATIONALE !

They're continuing to kill people because this administration has told them that the people they're apprehending -- and those who defend them -- deserve violence, that no amount of violence is too much, and that no matter how egregious the abuse, they'll never be held accountable.

all right listen up team. our "drinking poison and expecting our enemies to die" strategy is NOT the problem, and despite what the defeatists and PC psychos are saying, our unfortunate losses have nothing to do with it. if we just drink harder our enemies will DEFINITELY die

The morning comes, the night decays, the watchmen leave
their stations;
The grave is burst, the spices shed, the linen wrapped up:
The bones of death, the cov'ring clay, the sinews shrunk & dry'd.
Reviving shake, inspiring move breathing! awakening!
Spring like redeemed captives when their bonds & bars are burst:
Let the slave grinding at the mill, run out into the field:
Let him look up into the heavens & laugh in the bright air:
Let the inchained soul shut up in darkness and in sighing,
Whose face has never seen a smile in thirty weary years:
Rise and look out, his chains are loose, his dungeon doors are open.
And let his wife and children return from the opressors scourge.
They look behind at every step & believe it is a dream.
Singing. The Sun has left his blackness, & has found a fresher morning
And the fair Moon rejoices in the clear & cloudless night;
For Empire is no more, and now the Lion & Wolf shall cease.

The terror answerd: I am Orc, wreath'd round the accursed tree:
The times are ended: shadows pass the morning gins to break:
The fiery joy, that Urizen perverted to ten commands,
What night he led the starry hosts thro' the wide wilderness:
That stony law I stamp to dust: and scatter religion abroad
To the four winds as a torn book, & none shall gather the leaves
But they shall rot on desart sands, & consume in bottomless deeps.
To make the desarts blossom, & the deeps shrink to their fountains.
And to renew the fiery joy, and burst the stony roof.
That pale religious letchery, seeking Virginity,
May find it in a harlot, and in coarse-clad honesty
The undefil'd tho' ravish'd in her cradle night and morn:
For every thing that lives is holy, life delights in life:
Because the soul of sweet delight can never be defil'd.
Fires inwrap the earthly globe, yet man is not consumd:
Amidst the lustful fires he walks: his feet become like brass,
His knees and thighs like silver, & his breast and head like gold

oh to be a little chudling in Florida treated to my favourite president reading a delightful story about a goat to me on a crisp early autumn morning. surely nothing would interrupt that experience

sobbing and reaching behind me to pull a gun out to shoot myself in the head. when i draw it, the gun is extremely tiny, and makes a little "pop!" sound when i fire. suddenly agitated, i shout "WHERE AM I? I HAVE TO GET HOME!" and start running directly toward The Villages, FL

It's real, it's powerful, and you find the panic about it as tedious as the hype. You're not interested in whether AI is good or bad — you're interested in who captures the value, who loses their leverage, and which institutions are using it as a story to do what they were already doing. Same as it ever was.
