NO HERRING IN THE SCIF

this is going to end up banal but what a world it would have been if the people who YOLO'd consumer LLMs with the pitch "this can automate the boring shit you don't want to do" had a definition of "boring shit" that was "set up AWS creds" instead of "art, music, socializing, raising children"

I actually configure AWS correctly now due to embedded chatbots

Politically, being against them in this election is a layup and theyre like "no thank you we do not want to score an easy two points."

these demands mean nothing, because there's no guarantee the roomba will stay on track and not get stuck in the dining room AGAIN.

Nothing like putting in leave for your December vacation and realizing you still have 2 weeks of use or lose to account for.

I know this website hates AI, as it should, but if its biggest boosters actually talked about it as a tool that could make your life easier? Might be more popular, might be more people willing to try it. Instead, they’re all telling you “lol fuck off idiot, use AI or get left behind”

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Remembering when a Twitter demographics fretter guy posted "I can't even imagine how unmarried men over 35 live, what do you do all day" and like 100 pleasant guys responded with their various hobbies and "extra time to think about submarines/the roman empire" etc

I think the actual answer for the vast majority of white collar professionals is that AI has made some aspect of their job about 10% easier but they’d also get over having to go back to The Old Way in about a month

now that the Michigan primary is over, can we be normal about politic's, FOR ONCE or is there another primary we will imprint on

I meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.

it's rocky horror, so you know it's bad even by theatre kid standards

in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

I don't think I can really argue with this? I think inertia from last year is carrying IU, but they're so far outside the national champion mold it's hard to say for certain.

The Preseason Coaches Poll is out, with Ohio State at No. 1, and defending champion Indiana at No. 6.

not even two (2) workdays into August and the Doldrums have set in.

Hard not to notice that Buttigieg still gets skewered for doing a couple years at McKinsey in his mid 20s during the late 00s, but the general response from most of those same ppl to Graham Platner signing up to work for Blackwater in his mid 30s--not even a decade ago!--has been one big shrug.

CyberOtters@cyberotters.bsky.social · yesterday

www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol... Why would the New Yorker do a soft focus "Platner holds uneasy mirror up to America's veteran problem" while ignoring his PMC time? Seems like an important piece of his puzzle not shared by the vast, vast majority of the combat veteran community.

The MAHA movement are a bunch of bigoted eugenicist cranks who believe food regulations are government overreach, vaccines kill, children with autism should be sterilized for the good of the gene pool, and an issue like a peanut allergy or celiac disease is a sign of evolutionary inferiority.

yes, this, too, and i am remiss for having said that at first. it’s ghoulish as fucking shit to heap blame on an older rep for being old because they got injured in a fucking car wreck.

Belle Tur@jasoncheathawks.bsky.social · 2d ago

doing this about kaptur, who was IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, is such astonishingly bad faith.

This is, respectfully, dumb as shit. Tammy Duckworth gave her legs and she’s not using that to excuse her bad behavior

Rick Perlstein@rickperlstein.bsky.social · 5d ago

A watershed piece. America will have have a very hard time becoming less imperialist as long as combat service is sentimentalized and fetishized, when it actually tends to turn men into broken, hateful people, and helps make things like like Trumpism happen. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

(typing angrily on mechanical keyboard) Sotrue Bestie was NOT one of Amidala's handmaidens

this is a major disappointment, and someone in their fourth term in the House should absolutely know better.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

KRENNIC: Unfortunately, there's only one thing standing between me and that deep substrate foliated kalkite: the rightful owners.

Only sickos come to a website for politics. Normal people ingest politics indirectly through other activities - media, education, religion, etc

Good lord I wish some of you could read on this text based social media website.
