Do it. Then finally we’ll have a real antiwar movement in this country.

I need to see justice done in my lifetime istg

With that, I'm going to busy myself with one of my many projects that make me feel joy. Happy Sunday.

They're "agentic" only like a fleshy interface between computers and a world they desperately wish they could be a part of, if only they could surmount their fear of their own fragile humanity. All the capital in the world cannot buy their way through to what they really want. For me, us, it is free

Between the war and the madness emanating from Silicon Valley, I got very sad last night and had to turn in early. This morning I read this piece and it was a sharp reminder that the sadness I felt is sourced from a deep well of love for life that these people utterly, utterly lack.

I’ve been saying this for years but with a slight difference, which is that there is plenty of genuinely useful software yet to be written that could improve people’s lives, but lacks a 12-figure potential return, and so the money is simply not interested. And the money decides what we all do

printing this out as a bumper stucker and slapping it on the back of my subaru

How do we reject this world we are all being dragged into against almost everybody's will

It's gonna be so awesome if you're right. Nobody will know how to do anything or even think without a monthly subscription, everyone's heads filled purely with unverified, unsourced swill, untruth mingling with coincidental truth, all other forms of knowledge production neutralized.

They are losing money on inference alone but _also_ training cannot end, continuous training is a necessary part of the business. There is no viable AI business that only serves inference.

Given how tight US and Israel policy are right now, I wonder if the US is gonna adopt Israel's stance on hostages

Fortunately, ChatGPT is not sustainable

Sweating over two red buttons, one labeled “we are lethalmaxxing unleashed from woke rules of engagement” and the other “Iran bombed those kids”

This is just so incredibly clear, and by relying on AI you are giving corporations too much control over your abilities.

You also have to recognize a world where corporations limit anything you find convenient and make you pay for access.

An election is where a person shows their face on TV and then through some kind of magic it becomes everyone's personal responsibility to vote for them. It's the magic that's the tricky bit, not sure who's supposed to do that part or what kind of arcane components are involved

I have cast a ballot in every election I have been qualified to vote in. Typically for candidates who, you know...motivated me to go do it.

I think you're the one who doesn't know what a job is. Dumbfuck.

What in the fuck do you think an electoral campaign is

Glad I could brighten your day in these horrific times

I wrote this joke and then went off looking into a shed for my back yard didn't expect it to get attention lol

To be clear I don't know this guy I just think it's a safe assumption

Playgrounds exist, you can just go outside, yadda yadda, but what these responses ignore is actually this guy is not allowed outside near playgrounds due to a court order

Lmao you are the second person I’ve seen make this exact connection

This country went full on feral because we couldn’t have Applebee’s for a month at the start of COVID, and now you want to take away “drive car” lmao good luck

Sacrifice, famously a thing Americans are always prepared to endure for the good of…whatever, what’s this war for again
