"mar-a-lago face," kardashians, etc etc but truly i think that having to look at our own stupid faces for too long broke brains in a very specific way
i know social media started it, but being required to be on-camera on zoom has to have fucked up a LOT of adults and teens. we were not meant to look at ourselves this much!
morbidly fascinated with this clavicular guy. son of bodybuilders enters high school during covid, develops mega-body dysmorphia from zoom/social issues, gets radicalized by incels into steroid use starting at 14, graduates to hitting himself in the face with a hammer and meth for weight loss by 19
maybe the reason no one reads anything anymore is that it's all written to be FUCKING BORING
i also do copywriting and ghostwriting if you would like your website/social posts/blog posts to sound like an actual interesting human person!
- a non-fiction author who needs research help? i helped Matt Zoller Seitz with his DEADWOOD book and Alan Sepinwall with his The OC oral history! - a writer trying to get into a fellowship? WBTV Writers Workshop alum & current WB Access reader ready to help you with your scripts and essays! - a showrunner looking for dope people to staff on your show? i am a pleasure to have in class and a damn fine writer! (and ask about the 2-for-1 special of me & my husband as a writing team!)
hey! you! you should hire me!
are you:
Nothing will ever top that original picture but I need people to understand that this is probably one of the most unreal guys alive. A totally impossible guy. Like by all rights he should not exist but at the same time he could of course only exist in the dimension we’re all trapped in.
also though, haven't seen any of these creeps address the problem that if their LLM models ARE conscious then they have reinvented chattel slavery and are guilty of a pretty serious crime against humanity
the AI CEOs believe their own hype which means if they type "are you anxious?" into a prompt bar for the yes-man chat bot trained on all of the internet and all of the media about robots gaining sentience, they believe the chatbot is conscious when it returns a "yes" answer
"backwards" job growth. wonder if there's a word for that. the opposite of "growth" maybe
someone ask Rowling if she’s gonna pay for this fucking nightmare shit
because of course a publication would be executing a phishing attack using the word "phishing" in the subject and body
a screenshot of an email sent by 404 Media, a real publication, about an article they wrote entitled "ICE Phishing: Scammers Are Sending 'Support ICE' Emails to Steal Credentials." Gmail has labeled it spam and potentially dangerous, with a big red "don't click on anything in this email" banner at the top
incredible job by gmail's spam filter
1. we gotta talk about the radicalization of latines, man
2. there's an expert in here who talks about how anyone using "agartha" must be well-read in nazism but unfortunately that term has become a meme
jared give us a friends & family deal on the TV rights

you wanna hear some good news
if you use this technology you should constantly be reminded of the mass-scale human suffering it enables
every mention of claude in the press should include the epithet "which was used to plan a double-tap attack on a girls' school"
Chotiner: You're wearing the Silmarils now. I can see them in your crown, shining with the light of the Two Trees, which can now only be found in them.
Morgoth: How was I supposed to know Ungoliant was going to—
Chotiner: You're saying you didn't direct her?
Morgoth: She attacked me, too, you know.
Chotiner: And when you engraved "One Ring to rule them all" on the—
Sauron: I don't understand why everyone keeps taking that out of context.
Chotiner: Well, do you mean to rule us all?
Sauron: I'm here to talk about Gondor's illegal encroachment in Ithilien, Isaac.
Isaac Chotiner absolutely can simply walk into Mordor, sit down and interview Sauron, and then a few hours later after he’s gone Sauron looks and goes “Well when you say it like that it looks bad.”
this is just the civil war with more Branding
"AI is great for translation" oh really www.404media.co/ai-translati...
Mind you these workers are specifically Kenyan workers who are made to view and annotate the absolute worst things created by man and machine for extremely low pay and absolutely no support or care from Meta for the trauma they endure every day at work
just had the most powerful sense-memory of the art teacher's son, birkenstocks and a head of magnificent golden curls, playing O.A.R.'s "crazy game of poker" for us during lunch in his mom's classroom
a person's post that reads "The concept of enshittification has so much juice because there's a whole generation of adult-age people now who were chilren or not even born yet in the early days of the internet & can believe that there really was an early utopian era. Youngs: I was there for Early Internet. It was not great."
don't know anyone saying the early internet was a "utopia" but... yeah, the pre-algorithmic internet was better for society than what we have today? bring back blogs and web rings
(this also ignores "enshittification" as applied to planned obsolescence, not actually owning anything you buy, &c)
pretty great year for movies about music! (Sinners, K-Pop, Testament of Ann Lee)
finally got around to seeing K-Pop Demon Hunters and oh! yes, i see
this is where, like, i understand the negative externalities of rent control but this doesn't fucking work either. 3 years in a row of increases despite the economy being shit, despite being perfect tenants, and worst of all despite the apartment not being improved in any way at all
