Again, as an atheist, I find it extremely annoying to have my non-belief in the antichrist tested in this way

Yelp thinks I need to hire driveway washers in Denver and this eCommerce site is giving me prices in yen made by the same people selling you "AI"

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

"i think openai is committing easily disprovable accounting fraud in public while dealing directly with investments from a half dozen fortune 500 companies" is so much less likely than you not knowing what you're talking about

In this world where time is your enemy, it is my greatest ally. This grand game of life that you think you play in fact plays you. To that I say... Let the games begin! #iykyk

Trump compares his war in Iran to World War 2 and calls Democrats traitors: 'We won’t let the Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL, belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration."

imagine being a fervent catholic right now being threatened by this administration, whether with legal threats, funding threats, or tear gas, all because the secular authorities oppose his holiness the pope. i fuckin know they're lying in bed at night practicing saintly eyes-rolled-up faces

listen there's 2 things i know for sure about today and that is 1) there's no way anybody lets doordash come through the white house gates 2) there's no way trump lets anyone who actually works for a living into a photo op with him

if your argument is "I'm a journalist and I've been this fucking stupid the whole time so obviously journalism was already dead," then actually yeah, good point

the problem with this conclusion is that elon musk is first a nazi and second a scam artist, and scam artists don't have shame or a sense of embarassment

Micah@rincewind.run

everything that is wrong with Elon Musk can be summed up in the fact that there’s nobody in his life who can sit him down and tell him how embarrassing this is

it's not fair that they're just describing me

ACCAB - content creators cannot meaningfully ethically grapple with the psychological and social pressures of "producing" "content", it is the path to the dark side and taking money for poasting? forever will it dominate your destiny

I mean, good I think the initial rush of forums poasters getting on this site took it for granted for too long and that ceding moderation and control to a bunch of techbros in exchange for a tiny modicum of forums continuity and non-ephemerality was flawed from the beginning

being technocratic is a good thing weirdos told you they were bad

Aster Olsen@asterolsen.bsky.social

Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.

what machines do is not learning of any kind, those are just words they repurposed like "thinking" and "hallucinating" to make you think what fabulism they're doing has anything to do with actual human knowledge and intelligence and wisdom

sarah jeong@sarahjeong.bsky.social

the funniest part of the "using AI to cheat at school" discourse is the part where the pro-AI people miss that bullshit work was assigned to undergrads in order to train them, so they can learn. just the way that machines learn. that's why machine learning is the way it is. because people do it too
