That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted.

Holy shit

"Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die'

Quite the headline from People.com

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Holy shit. These people shouldn’t be near sharp cutlery, let alone seats of power.

Mullin: “This is war.”

Raju: “You concede this is war?”

Mullin: “We haven’t declared war.”

Reporter: “You just said it’s a war.”

okay, Ill bite.
What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.

AI is good for coding and still can't write for shit. Makes you think about who the most highly skilled workers in the economy really were, doesn't it?

1953. It would appear that absolutely NOTHING has changed

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

Genuinely incredible that the U.S. will celebrate the 250th without an Archivist of the United States.

I have said many times that if your internal barometer for Right and Wrong or whether actions are permissible is whether or not something is legal I view you as a danger to me and all around me.

According to payment processors, purchasing fictional sexy art is grossly immoral.

Betting on school children getting blown up is fine though.

My drag name.

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

Polymarket Iran Bets Hit $529 Million as New Wallets Draw Notice As US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket — where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes — were cashing in. Almost immediately, blockchai...

We don't allow players to place bets on their own games but we're allowing national security advisers to place bets on literal wars.

A decent chunk of my political philosophy is embodied by the phrase "It's never okay to kill children."

I really didn't think I could get more depressed about the state of the world, the country, and the future, but then I woke up this morning to the news. The weight of it all is already too much, and yet it keeps piling on. How much before we break?

I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity

We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:

I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

The King is mad

the reason we’re bombing iran is because thats the penis thing to do and not bombing is vagina

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.
