'And it is neither liberty, nor justice, when we surrender to the myth, that if some are to win, others must lose.' - Don Berwick, he/him

I found a use case for the slop apps: with a little urging, you can get it to generate a passably recognizable text pattern of your ex-wife who traumatized you emotionally and then left you for lacking passion, AND see the simulacrum react to your suicide, without actually having to do it.

I had this gentle notion, foolish, that when Lebron essentially instantly changed his destination to Philly when Brown got traded there, that would come with some slice of media voices going 'oh, the best player who has ever lived wants to play with Jaylen Brown'. Just, like, maybe 25% of them.

David Ellison deserves substantive public healthcare, food, shelter, and a basic dignity of life, and should also be hunted through a dark labyrinth by a recently fed jaguar on national television for our collective amusement.

I dont like how people, when reasonably complaining about, like, AI psychosis, or just AI use, now feel obliged to addend every complaint with 'obviously it's good for workflow, and research' - do you know how many times I have read that phrase? It's, like, textbook propaganda.

"yells a few words and pounds a stick" I was sitting in the theater, watching Scott perform, thinking 'this is going to upset a lot of incurious people'; like, that phrase, exactly. Does Phemius even...talk to Odysseus in this film? Does he ever converse with anyone? I cant bring it to mind.

Just a really bizarre flattening of these characters and performances, it’s not only inaccurate but feels like a strange projection

Y'all, this bathroom is f-ing killing me. Maybe literally. I have to refinish this bathroom bc I cannot get someone to live here with if I dont. Two layers down, a great deal of which was exposed, the paint is leaded, or at least has lead dust on it.

Young Person At Ice Cream Stand: *pointing at my Sixers hat* "That's a very controversial hat, right now." Me: "They broke my heart." YPAICS: "They broke my heart, too." Me: "I dont think I can watch them this season, so I figure I'll just follow JB, watch him." YPAICS: "Good for you."

I have now watched this. However bad you think these "AI is making people kill themselves" stories are, this is worse. It's so bad. We can't expose kids to trans people because it'll hurt them. But they are MADE to use these suicide machines.

Google's Gemini AI convinced a man to attempt several terrorist attacks it said were to free a sentient AI. Then it convinced him to end his own life. The family of Jonathan Gavalas is now suing google. Full Video: youtu.be/sHlrbRVfOh0

Eugenics, except for the ones who can afford actual healthcare, because if you can't that's due to your own moral or character failure thus you don't deserve to live. Funny how the electeds all get to take that for granted, paid for out of our pockets.

The way they intend to Make America Healthy Again is to kill off the unhealthy people who count against that. They have _said_ this. Believe them.

Woman from Massachusetts bragging about how she can go hike in occupied Palestinian territory with the support and protection of an illegally-present army while the native population cannot go from one street to another without permission from an ICC-indicted Prime Minister.

I occasionally hike with an Israeli group - i know for certain that our guide coordinates with the army if in the jordan valley/west bank.  (Although I've only been on one hike there.) I don't think i actually understood until now how important this is...

Flock's CEO just told local media its license plate readers don't take video. This came after the LAPD cancelled its contract Except, Flock announced a new feature that can turn "all" Flock cameras into live video cameras. Flock has now deleted the announcement www.404media.co/flocks-ceo-s...

Joe Murray is having a meltdown. By the time I got out of my car, he had convinced himself that Jaylen Brown sabotaged all the good trades the Celtics had (Something Brown simply could not do, bc he is signed for 3 years), and then started crowing about how if the Sixers win, JB wont get credit.

The cope from the part of the Celtics base that has been crowing about how JB was the 7th best player on the team, and, like, not a top 50 player in the league, that's taking place right now is genuinely heartwarming.
