The president of the United States of America

Software is hardware in liquid phase. The gaseous phase is, as noted elsewhere, either vaporware or vibes.

I have a theory that Sam Altman believes his own hype, and therefore has been following ChatGPT's advice about how to run OpenAI for a few years now....

it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor

The daily game releases will continue until app usage times improve.

I do really love that wordle was the harbinger that newspapers had it right and we need to rebundle the news with puzzles.

When do we get daily comics back

Quantification is carcinization

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

they want one SO bad

Telling Jesus he'll never make it if he keeps being so hostile to wealth. Advising him to moderate his message to appeal to the Galilee suburbs

Evergreen post

As I just mentioned elsewhere, there is a collective action problem here. But once people start realizing there is no longer any voice, only exit, I think the rush for the door will become a stampede.

(Also, the immediate replies are priceless. Link to the article and alt text are in there too.)

Ending world hunger costs less than 1% of military spending Ending hunger by 2030 would cost just $93 billion a year — well under one per cent of the $21.9 trillion spent on military budgets over the past decade, according to UN estimates.

With the US military spending $1 billion a day on a pedophile's whims, remember that the UN estimates that it costs about $93 billion to end world hunger.

The *first* 93 days of this decade+ war, could be spent ending world hunger, if anyone in power actually wanted to

IRAN WAR OPERATIONAL TIMEFRAME, ACCORDING TO WHITE HOUSE/PENTAGON:

They have no idea what they are doing or what they have unleashed.

Given Trump II's declared preferences on who it would like to see heading govts in Europe, it's very short-sighted of incumbent European leaders to fall in line or look the other way as the US asserts the right to select the heads of govt in Venezuela, Cuba and Iran.

like obviously part of him wants to build a giant unethical surveillance apparatus in exclusive service to the extraction class, but another part of him is just kind of functionally fucking stupid about how tech and ethics operate and overlap?

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

I asked grok... I asked ChatGPT... I saw Donald Trump say... they're just generating language! There's no *meaning* behind it. It's just a plausible series of tokens.

BREAKING: The UN’s nuclear watchdog chief, Rafael Grossi, says inspectors have not found evidence of a coordinated Iranian programme to build nuclear weapons despite Israeli and US claims.

WHO MADE THEM???
and were they actually mistakes or were they intentional cruelty and crimes?

GAFF: Too bad she won’t live! But then again, who does?

DECKARD: I double checked and you’re right—she won’t live. I made a mistake, and that’s on me. Nice catch!

Just because it's liberating to say obvious shit out loud sometimes: this is not what "defensive" means.

Forced to choose between "Oops, I was being evil" and "Oops, I was being stupid," Sam Altman has gone with "stupid."

Does your university have non-black regalia? If so: buy it.

Either way, buy the good hood and hat combo even if you don’t buy the robes. They don’t take up much room and are impossible to find in short notice (unlike black graduation robes) and “official velvet” is rare and cool.

Hard same

how's everyone else doing with little computer tasks amidst the horrors, personally I am not in top form

My compliments on including test points!

It’s only the legal prohibition on death markets that prevents this. Otherwise, they wold happily be the place that facilitates assassination payouts

Black Mirror writers room just staring at the screen right now, shaking their heads.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

“The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand” is our country’s fuckin’ epitaph
