RFK talks about autistic and Arabic people the exact same way. He assumes they are not capable of ordinary or extraordinary achievements because of who they are. He considers them sub-human because they are not like him. This makes it plain that his is a white supremacist eugenicist project.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I am old enough to remember when politicians felt the need to hide behind euphemism and obfuscation. As frustrating as these obfuscations were I hope it is becoming clear to all that they were an advance, historically speaking

this is happening because big tech customer support basically doesn't exist and desperate people are asking ChatGPT what to do. ChatGPT is sending them to journalists

SpacePrez reposted

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

These people have cooked their brains to the extent that they literally cannot complete simple, normal human tasks without being augmented by machines which think for them. This is not a social improvement. It's a disability.

cool, cool

Love that smoke detectors use the same one button for "silence alert" and "do a full volume test" and make the instructions as ambiguous as possible to guarantee you wake your wife up

Google was really trying to hide its water use figures, to the degree that it got the council to try to keep its water use figures secret. The community finally got the actual numbers and found out Google was using 29 percent of the water in the community. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

I wasn't sure if Edgerunners season 2 was going to capture me like season 1 and then I found out the lead is Clancy Brown 4 episodes in and these are my chooms

"In total, since taking office again, Mr. Trump exempted 202 facilities in 39 states & Puerto Rico from clean-air regulations that were going into effect. Some were among the country’s worst industrial polluters, including chemical manufacturers, copper smelters & coal-burning power plants." MAHA!

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free PassThe president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

People have been complaining about the wave of slop on the first couple of days of Steam Next Fest, but you're only getting a glimpse of what's in my inboxes week in week out for the past couple of years now. It's worse than the whole "asset flip" thing by several magnitudes.

AI proponents cling to the idea that the tech is going to enable boundless creativity, but I've seen what it enables; endless spam. It's enabled people without a single ounce of creativity in their bodies to make endless Balatro clones, genuinely no thoughts of their except Balatro but slop.

I don't want to be forced to disclose what I put in my burgers bc making them with rat meat is so much better for my bottom line as a small food business

SpacePrez reposted

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

I'm a sucker for cool videogame gimmicks, so when I heard you could play real notes into a switch 2 to control the OOT remake, I had to go out and get an Ocarina. Not too shabby for 5 minutes practice?

Some secret Space lore: I'm a big music nerd and almost majored in music theory if not for falling into computer science. I did marching band trumpet in high school. At any given moment I am *this* close to buying another esoteric instrument. Bagpipes, pan flute, hurdy gurdy, digeridoo, yes plz

I would have bought a penny whistle last week but I'm trying to decide if I should get one in the key for You Can Call Me Al or just go with C Maj

Remember why I enjoyed moving from Trumpet to Guitar because breathing into your instrument sucks! I'm happy with this one though, if I give it a little tut of air on each note then the timbre sounds really nice, will take practice but already not sounding terribly tinny

Nintendo will be selling a plastic ocarina and HORI will be selling an electronic ocarina Both good options for children who would likely drop and smash a porcelain ocarina But I wanted the real deal

Really great UI/UX that the notification popups in windows specifically cover up the system tray dialogues Could have put it ANYWHERE else Is there a setting to move it? No there is not. Hard coded. Brilliant fucking design guys.
