I think any real user from Reddit that isn’t a bot is an asset these days. I hate Reddit as much as the next person, but giving people shit for coming from there to here feels hypocritical.

This is the exception to the no preordering games rule. Supporting a co-op.

stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is

That’s my new pet peeve. The thing is I don’t remember seeing people do this in the past and certainly not frequently, but now I see it all the time. Mind-boggling selfishness. I think Covid rotted everyone’s brains way more than we realize.

No wonder Trump killed the bipartisan immigration reform bill. I didn’t realize the anti-immigrant sentiment had gotten to this level in so much of the population. It’s frankly horrifying.

That’s why you shouldn’t thank them for their service with mere words, but with song. A rousing round of God Bless America sung by the entire room is how you properly thank service members. Remind everyone in the audience that if they don’t join in, it’s because they hate America.

After centuries of studies and billions and billions of dollars, we’ve reached the outer limits of what science can achieve. We need a new paradigm for development as a civilization. The disruption model utilized in business is a good start.

The tested LLMs fared much worse, though, when the Apple researchers modified the GSM-Symbolic benchmark by adding “seemingly relevant but ultimately inconsequential statements” to the questions

Good thing they’re being trained on random posts and comments on the internet, which are known for being succinct and accurate.

The FEMA “bankrupted itself to give ‘illegals’ money while denying citizens’ valid requests” bullshit is penetrating. It’s obviously bullshit, but it needs to be countered.

Sometimes, I think Cointellpro figured out that you don’t need to insert provocateurs to talk about terrorist shit. Just put one nerd in the chat to challenge a subgroup’s purity, and every leftist movement will collapse into infighting and dissolve.

America had a moment in the 60s and 70s where real change might have been possible. Then Reagan took over in the 80s and selfishness and greed somehow became virtues.

They instilled a sense that helping others makes you dumb and gullible. Strong, smart people get theirs and fuck everyone else.

People who need help are just taking your money to buy drugs and can easily get a job and become middle class instantaneously.

Then a few decades later, the middle class disappeared, and everyone became poor and struggling. Corporate profits keep breaking records, though. Economic inequality in America has surpassed pre-Revolution France. Every billionaire is Louis XIV-level rich and indulgent.

There’s an alternate timeline where the non-profit side of the company won, Altman the Conman was booted and exposed, and OpenAI kept developing machine learning in a way that actually benefits actual use cases.

Cancer screenings approved by a doctor could be accurate enough to save so many lives and so much suffering through early detection.

Instead, Altman turned a promising technology into a meme stock with a product released too early to ever fix properly.

Even better, they said she had a “mental health” episode when she was doing her job to see that Arlington wasn’t desecrated.

She later refused to press charges, because she knew that would subject her family, friends, coworkers, and herself to the right wing death/rape/torture threat machine.

Nothing spices up a marriage like Communism.

The important thing to understand is that groceries are a small part of a much larger system that exists to extract money from everyone and give it to a small number of people.

Those people own everything. Politicians, courts, the news, the police, etc. All the institutions you think of as part of society that exist to serve the people actually serve the interests of this small group of people, the extraction class.

They cause or at least refuse to prevent most of the suffering in the world, including yours. They’re destroying the planet itself with their unbridled, untethered greed. And they try to control opposition to them by owning the media, as well as the digital platforms we use to interact.

The only war is class war.

You pirate content to save money and protest the excesses of capitalism.

I pirate content because I enjoy singing sea shanties with the mates while seeding torrents.

We are not the same.

It’s time to raise the boards.

Like so many other American things, imperialist exploitation has been largely privatized and handled by colossal megacorps.

Honestly, turning timber into liquid was never a viable business model. The use cases for a liquid form of wood are almost nonexistent outside of bizarre hobbies or fetishes I’d frankly rather not know about.

If a device can start listening when you say, “Hey Siri,” it can also start listening when you say other words.

Who could possibly imagine Google and Facebook doing something unethical, then lying about it?
