Not with that attitude

I thought that F*tterm*n post was hard AF and even told my group chat I was worried someone was gonna get banned!

That’s a Prada purse I think

Oh no not Bill Maher

Yes, the linked article is from October

My not “not the gestapo” tshirt, has a lot of people asking questions that will get them kidnapped if I find out who’s asking them

I slept on it for years because the shotguns feel smooshy and dull compared to the ones in Doom and all the enemies save the Ogre are kinda boring.

Recently played through the shareware ep taking care to get all the secrets and gained a new appreciation of Romero’s diabolical level design.

If the Democratic Party as an org ran this upcoming midterm campaign on getting a majority so it could impeach and convict Trump, then criminally convict him and put him in prison for the rest of his life, they'd end up with a 2009-2011 style supermajority. But they won't, and they wouldn't.

This is very good and also infuriating because it's the kind of plainly stated condemnation of Trump World's crimes, misdeeds, and excesses people like Schumer should be making every morning noon and night

ME: yeah could i get the impossible burger with cheese.
THE VIZIER WHO'S BEEN ADVISING ME: ahh, an excellent choice sire. an imitation of the genuine article. there are some "friends" of yours to whom it bears a passing similarity
ME: you want anything
VIZIER: [chuckles] what i want is of no import

They used to make a carrot cake clif bar that I genuinely enjoyed. I think it suited whatever mix of base ingredients they use for all of them before adding specific flavors. I haven’t seen that flavor on shelves for years though

Asmongold also made heinous statements about Ilhan Omar in the weeks prior to the recent attack on her at her town hall.

Your life is worth less than a taillight to them

Look for the helpers

If only we had the last 10 years to tell us whether this is as totally, completely, and disastrously stupid as it clearly is

On the ballot every time: ontological evil vs ontological losers

Who is "you?" And what must they vote for, excatly?

There's no excuse for not understanding this at this point. There is no free ride. Even if you're running against the devil, you have to make a case for yourself, and you have only yourself to blame if you can't.

The last desktop computer that didn’t look like shit

I have a Power Mac G4 in my office and I like to just sit and look at it sometimes

To be fair computer cases are all ugly as shit now

Useless publication

Those who object to any part of this face an uphill battle:

As with so much else in the US economic system, the profits will be privatized and the losses socialized. The SaaS companies will pocket all the money and individual people will be stuck dealing with the technology generating CSAM, revenge porn, and psychosis on an industrial scale.

Add to that the same economic imperatives social media companies have - prioritizing engagement above all other concerns. This tech isn't going away and I don't think this problem will ever be solved.

There are an infinite number of possible inputs and you have to anticipate every possible interaction that could be harmful. You also have to define what is harmful. You have to determine what to do about it.

We've already seen how difficult this moderation problem is with pre-AI social media.

LLM vendors have stumbled into a commonly misunderstood reality of software: It's one thing to build a technology, and quite another to deploy it in scale to the world.

It's probably more difficult to tune an LLM so it doesn't do stuff like this than to develop the technology in the first place.

maybe go back and ask your chatbot what "ad hominem" means

there are already like 200 different physical Game Boy emulators out there, but when you have the opportunity to buy one whose components were once used to blow up a hospital in Syria, why not jump at the chance bsky.app/profile/retr...
