Damn, this blew up. 🫪 Got nothing beyond this: value human creativity, problem solving, and the capacity to dream. Go make something bad, and get excited for how you can make it better next time. 🤘💙🤘

I don't have sympathy for workers being replaced by AI after they used AI to do most of their job already. I do have sympathy for workers laid off that were forced to use AI by company order in a stupid attempt to justify AI's cost.

Ugh... So sick of Xal'atath. Writer's can't do the whole "beyond super smart" villain trope because no human is smart enough to know what it would be like. Instead we always get this villain has been reading the script type shit. Going to be so glad when Xal's gone and we can have better villains.

Dr Oz: "Medicare costs are gonna increase"

Well it seems the government has a right to poison us and lie to us in emergencies that result in deaths because the federal court says we have no rights to clean water or the truth in a crisis. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

No constitutional right to clean water, federal court finds

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a lawsuit from Mississippi residents related to lead-contaminated water.

So Hegseth not only is a psychotic low T loser, he looks to be fucking over women in the forces as well. We're going to hear decades from now that the rape of female service members skyrocketed under Hegseth and Trump.

If you are still asking why regular people hate ai, you aren’t paying attention.

When you're lazy and have smooth lobes, you use ai to code. Guess Torvalds hasn't paid attention to the shit show nvidia coding has become. Bye bye Linux. www.xda-developers.com/linus-used-a...

Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug, and now LLM critics on Linux face an uncomfortable choice

Avoiding software without AI code is getting very difficult.

Taylor Lorenz listed out all the generative AI apps she uses for Substack, including Elon Musk’s Grok, and is shocked her followers are mad. She wants to have it both ways: to present herself as critical and progressive while still getting to take the same immoral actions as people who don’t.

"It's Friday so let's see you out lift this!" I yell before running off to my imaginary gym where I can never be beaten.

Republicans and the rich are so far up the asshole of capitalism that even forest need to be "productive" cash makers. How does one measure forest productivity?

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished. (Published January)

Mike Johnson: "We put in this Congress into place all the economic conditions to let the economy take off like a rocket, and beginning in the first quarter of this year that's what was happening, and then we got into the conflict with Iran ... that's the big headwind we have right now."

And the gun freaks and their money have made America far less safe yet again. It won't be long till military grade arms are legal for civilians to own here. Of course Tim Pool won't be happy till he can own biological weapons.

People need to stop being surprised by the constant Xbox game studio shut downs. Their lead is from Microsoft's AI team and has almost openly stated Xbox is being sacrificed to their AI demon.

The Trump/Republican agenda in one chart 👇🏽

I feel like we need to play this safe and hand over: Miller, Hegseth, Pirro, McMahon, Vought, Bondi, Carr, Vance, Rubio, Johnson, Fetterman, Schumer, Lindsay's corpse, McConnell, Don Jr, Jensen and most of the pro Trump manosphere. This is not a time to be stingy.

As we dug into a little-known church, we started to see a pattern: women describing similar abuse; a preacher who knew what was going on. And the same prescription for the problem: forgiving and forgetting it happened. Listen to this episode of "Paper Trail":

The Church That Told Sexually Abused Children to “Forgive and Forget”

A man was convicted of abusing young girls in his church. Preachers had known the allegations for years. So why didn’t they report him to the police?
