This is fun isn't it! We're gonna die aren't we! HAHAHAHA

@smelltastic

I went to Bluesky because I wished to post deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not posted.

I find these things are a lot easier if you allow yourself to put "fun" in quotation marks

the answer, here in my Indiana town, is that there will be another rash of Biden "I did that!" finger-pointing stickers on gas pumps everywhere

I've figured it out guys, I've finally got the solution to all wars. What we do is we simply kill everyone who's willing to kill

YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger.

ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.

technically it's possible but if you're at the point where you're asking this question it's usually easier to just wipe it and start over

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

According to PEW, teens in households making under $75K are more likely to use chatbots for help with all or most schoolwork. I read a comment on another platform that said this is amazing news because we are "finally going to close the achievement gap." That is not how I would interpret this data.

"death to israel" -> antisemitic hatred

"death to the united states and israel" -> inclusive, woke

the job of an editor is actually not to publish whatever garbage anybody sends you. i don't know who told you that.

I’ve often thought I am not smart enough to be a trial lawyer, or a husband, or a father.

I have never thought I am not smart enough to be a pundit.

tbh I kinda do think that about people whose goal isn't their health, which makes sense, but to just get swole, which doesn't

who needs money when you already have that kind of control over everyone's thought processes and behavior?

but the wrench we're talking about is individual, personalized, direct-to-consumer brainwashing machines. The person who has control over that, might as well *be* god

a screwdriver isn't good as a hammer, a can of soup isn't good as a thermal paste, and UX design is only as good as it achieves its purpose.

The change is in its purpose. Which has gone from usability by techs, to usability by casuals, to exploitation of casuals by companies.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The AI doomer narrative (it’s going to wake up and kill us all) is, whether its adherents intend it or not, pure marketing for AI companies

It’s one reason their CEOs have even, on occasion, leaned into it
