it's fucking shocking to me that agents of the federal government are going around literally kidnapping people off the street based on their ethnicity in Democratic-led towns and no one with any power is doing anything to physically stop them.

Can you imagine being alive during necessary wars?

Are... are you... are you fucking serious........

None of this shit makes sense! Wealthy tech guys utilize "blood boys" to become immortal, Musk's main fucking company produces EVs because at one time he ostensibly cared about carbon emissions?

All these guys have more money than god and all they care about, ultimately, is tax breaks. I will never understand this

@peter "I don't know what's real or fake, I use a machine to communicate with my loved ones so I don't need to interact, everything looks and sounds terrible, and I LOVE IT."

@peter regular people love AI!

@twit_terrorist this is a perfect post. You don't come across them often.

It all fits. Suppose you’re corporate leadership. You’re laying people off / refusing to hire because you have no clue what things will look like even 1 or 2 years in the future, and you are •terrified•.

Meanwhile, your investors, your gullible trend-chasing investors, are already mentally dividing companies into “pre-AI” and “post-AI.” And not only do you have no idea how to be “post-AI,” but you have no idea whether you’ll be solvent next year. What do you tell them?!??

Obviously you tell them you’re not hiring because you’re having such incredible success with AI! Maybe even you’re going to lay off all the senior people! They’ll love that!

Now you’re not failing and flailing — you’re leading the march into the future! Yay!

@APBBlue I've played this one once.

@APBBlue were they playing 4p or 2p?

If we drop a tactical nuke on Iran, Russia will do the same in Ukraine immediately. We will also be sanctioned by everyone. Even floating the idea in the news (as is being done right now) is unfuckingbelieveable.

imprisoned in a gemstone for 1000 years... just for being evil!

@nswigger at least you got rid of that bum devers instead

@Kierkegaanks

the application of chatGPT into my clinical practice was...problematic.

Normalize ‘strange one-page websites with all sorts of weird shit on them’ again. Nothing fancy, no frameworks or build pipelines. Just hand-crafted bullshit for the hell of it.

Do. It.

@peter "Thompson said a local police officer conducting a wellness check briefly encountered Boelter, sitting in an SUV disguised as a police car, outside one of the unnamed lawmaker’s homes. He ignored the officer’s attempt to speak with him, Thompson said, and left the area while authorities were checking the residence."

Just a typical fake officer in a fake car, let him head out already.

I have these two sentences stuck in my head these days:

A French minister: we need to prepare ourselves for a future when temperatures are 4°C higher.

A climate scientist: with a rise of 4°C above pre-industrial age, up to 90% of the world's population may die.

(edit: muting the post, it's going way beyond its intended audience, I'd like to be able to see notifications about other things. thanks you all for sharing)
