It’s such a stupid time to be alive

YouTube is absolutely unusable. It’s like that episode of Black Mirror where the guy is confined to a small room, and forced to watch ads on repeat. Egregious UX.

Somebody from ’xAI’ trying to recruit me on LinkedIn… Told them thanks, but I wouldn’t work for a company associated with Elon if they offered me half of his supposed net worth in compensation. I’d rather rummage through bins on the streets than work to benefit that fascist sack of shit.

i simply find it a little hard to believe that shortly after every website implemented ai code and fired a bunch of engineers they all started breaking constantly every single day but its not related to the ai code or the skeleton crew

“Apple, Tim. Banana. Obamas. Giraffe. Lion. Crayons. Trump Bible. Cross. Doctor…”

God, these lovely, peaceful morning hours in Europe before that stupid cunt wakes up.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

Adobe is a parasite that can only exist in a dead antitrust environment. It is a company that specifically profits off of trapping customers in horrible contracts to access increasingly more-buggy software that creatives still need to do their jobs. www.wheresyoured.at/hatersguide-adobe/

This is the destination of every company that tries to replace creative human workers with AI slop. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Also, it’s much higher than 40%.

Liz Truss waiting patiently by her phone for Reform to ring, not realising it's actually a penguin biscuit

Every day we all have to think about one of the most irredeemable cunts in the history of the world. What’s he doing? What’s he said now? How will it affect your life? What will be left once he’s finished smashing it all up? It’s unconscionable

It's funny. I never thought watching a gibbering lunatic burn the world down would be so boring.

Congratulations @danielbayley.dev for smashing the Contributor ranking with over 1,000,000 stars on repos you've contributed to—an incredible milestone well deserved! #github https://gitranks.com/profile/danielbayley

I agree with Klein on principle that it's bad for democracy to think of your opponents as evil but… what happens when they're actually evil? What happens when all they do is lie, cheat, steal, abuse and kill, and take your good faith as a sign of weakness? Debate your way out of it?

Report X to Apple to get it removed from the AppStore: reportaproblem.apple.com/store/333903... And for Google Play, report the X app “com.twitter.android” here: support.google.com/googleplay/a...

"when you're rich they let you do it"

So does this mean we can send in the black helicopters for Putin now?

Therein lies the rub: AI cannot have “ideas” of its own. Every “idea” you thought AI had came from a person, either through prompting or theft. The way to jumpstart the “idea machine” is to have people focused less on survival and more on living passionately.

Merry Christmas filthy animals! 🎄🎁🎅🏼🍻

Everyone is ready for Santa, I’m ready for Vecna.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Just one of the stupidest things that has happened in my lifetime

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Having to just watch them do this is actually painful. Pumping absurd amounts of money pointlessly into data centres, creating a circular nexus of funds, inventing opaque finance vehicles to hide the 10am-in-Paddy-Power reality of what they're doing. Obscene.

the moral of Trump is that a very small minority of people are devoted fascists but a pretty large portion of people are utter morons who will support fascism out of their own sheer stupidity

A bubble so large you can see it from space and it's going to fuck all of us.

OTP always be like 4s remaining, just enough to have to wait every single time.

We are in a golden age of morons failing upward. Even inbred hapsburgs weren’t doing it like this

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Even with having quite a lot of experience with GitHub Actions, debugging them is always so time consuming!

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

One of the biggest cultural issues we have is that no major media or journalistic institutions have been reinforcing norms of what things *should* look like. That corruption isn’t normal, that cronyism isn’t normal, that lies and scandals should be punished, that incompetence is disqualifying.

Almost perfect analogy.

Why tech billionaires want a dictatorship — & why most of Silicon Valley will quietly watch democracy burn. My talk with @jonfortt.bsky.social (my DePauw classmate) about the dangerous coalition between the far right & the tech right. On @theverge.com's Decoder www.theverge.com/decoder-podc...

Predictable. Be sure to double your rates specifically for these people.

this technology that i cant even get my own employees to use without literally threatening them is definitely going to be profitable one day
