Sam Altman’s anti-human worldview OpenAI CEO downgrades humanity in pursuit of goal to merge with computers

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever.

One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.

i once asked an older greek anarchist how it is that greek protestors go so hard and he said that having overthrown a fascist regime in living memory, everyone knows what the cops are and whose side they're on and i think we're getting there.

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

I have lost all patience with self-proclaimed cynics desperate to pretend that their quisling cowardice in the face of evil is wisdom.

Is enjoyment of #Traitors dependent on knowing the reality TV stars from their other shows? When did Traitors abandon casting folks without prior notoriety?

I had typed "Never obey in advance" into a Bluesky post. Grammerly suggested that if I wanted to sound more personable, I should change the text to "Please don't forget to follow in advance."

Somebody should make a #Pluribus fan video to Rasputina's 1998 song "New Zero" about the ice hotel.

I didn't get the hang of Kirby Air Riders when I tried it at PAX. Got the game and did the tutorials. Now I've been having a blast playing online City Trials.

I cleared High Halls tonight too! I'm afraid to say how many attempts it took before I gave up and got help from (spoiler).

I got stuck on the High Halls Arena in early October. I got Shakra's help and cleared it today. Got the cogflies and a few other things I'd missed. I made some progress dodging & toolspamming the penultimate boss. I'm so tired and my hands are done. Why does gaming after 40 hurt so much? #Silksong

Props to the middle-aged dad-looking dude in Fairwood (Renton, WA) with a "Fuck I.C.E. especially on Christmas" sign.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than β€œbecause I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

What a conclusion to #Pluribus season 1! This show reminded me why I fell in love with television as an art form twenty-some years ago at the beginning of the "prestige TV" era. Along with Severance, Pluribus captured some of that magic I haven't felt with TV in several years.

Season 33 is GenX versus Millennials. Although I'm a millennial, I've been rooting for GenX because they're the age I am now. I can't believe how much food they've been given!!!

I have mostly avoided spoilers, but I'm trying to get ready for season 50 because I watched the the trailer and didn't know who most of the contestants were. Of the classic contestants, I only recognized Mike White from The Amazing Race. Without spoiling winners, which other seasons should I watch?

I watched the first few seasons of #Survivor in the early 2000s, and came back in the modern era. It's been kind of samey. I fast-forward through the plotting. I went back to season 33 and WOW I'm on the edge of my seat the whole time. The 40-minute episodes are very bingeable.

I'm really enjoying #Pluribus. I've been watching each episode twice. Prior shows I rewatched the episodes weekly were Star Trek Discovery, Mr. Robot, and Battlestar Galactica.
