I'm a psychologist and we need to use Rule Zero of the Internet: Don't Feed The Trolls. What trolls want is attention. So any engagement with them encourages them. Even disagreeing with them. Even disproving them. It all counts as "attention", so it makes them behave worse. Block them. Move on.

See, good things happen too. It's just that even when good things happen the news media still fills their coverage with bad stuff. So we never get a freaking break. Because the ad revenue is much more important than the "news". It "keeps the lights on"! #News #Journalism

Too big to rig. Get ye to the polls!! Ain't nothing gonna keep us from our right and duty to vote.

youtube.com/shorts/liFwE... Some of the best political satire the world has. #Memes #Humor #Politics #Climate #DSA

The AI companies lied about LLMs solving famous mathematical problems. Because of course they did. The truth is that they're about to crash. Why would they tell the truth? To anyone? #AI #Maths #LLM www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHa9...

Dinosaurs went extinct because if their vision is based on movement they'd be constantly walking off cliffs or into spikey rocks. #ItsScienceBro #DontWorryIKnow #Memes

The grocery store I order from still sends me a confirmation email when I make an order. But only some of the time. Don't tell me I'm crazy for saying the whole Internet has been janky this entire year. It's vibe coding all the way down. #AI #Internet

Holy crap. This stopped clock had my pinterest but now it has my detention. Do it, coward.

He is terrified. No billionaire should feel safe. Investigate, prosecute, strip them of the wealth they stole from us.

Trump's brain is in such a state that I feel he might fully glitch if people start responding to his posts with screenshots of his own posts contradicting him. #Trump #Election

An LLM has never created anything new. If someone has an example please post it. Because all I've seen is LLMs stitch together other people's ideas. Sometimes it's a single pixel from a million people but that's still just copying. It isn't creation, it's crowdsourced plagiarism. #AI #Tech

The more I look at that Tesla demo with the "jet car" the more convinced I am that the upside down part is fake. I don't think it's possible to have enough suction to keep a car upside down like that. Not while also having massive tanks of compressed gas. I am convinced it was magnets. #Tesla

Al Jazeera English is always worth checking out. Real investigative journalism and they're less biased than any other English language news. You see: they know how to use the word "genocide" in a sentence. So they beat every US and UK channel just by reporting the news accurately. #TPUK #Britain

Whoever made this is amazing.

Exactly. The Tea Party was astroturfed specifically to rile up the racists, crazies, & rubes. It just transitioned into MAGA, and the racists, crazies, & rubes took over.

Autocorrect in WhatsApp has definitely gotten worse suddenly. Obviously, it's because Meta is using AI somehow. So obviously it's gotten less accurate, learns more slowly, reads your inputs less effectively, and is just generally bad when before it was good. 😑 #AI #Meta #WhatsApp #Autocorrect

There is only one force on Earth preventing action on climate change: The billionaire class. So every death from climate change is completely their fault. They are responsible for the mess we're in because they're the ones stopping us getting out. #Climate #Science #Weather #DSA #Crash

#Microslop wants to put ads in your games while you play them. The fact that the players hate this is not one of the variables they considered. They only considered if it was possible, and how much money it could make if it worked. It won't work. They didn't consider that either. #Gaming #Ads

Michael Keaton's career has been a bit strange. He's gone: Batman Birdman Vulture It's like he's doing a Digimon evolution, in reverse. #Comics #Digimon #Marvel

Elon's jet car is never going to be purchasable by anyone. He lies. Earlier this year he said he'd have a data centre in space within months. But if it actually came out hackers would be able to assassinate people by making the car yeet itself into the ocean. I'm just saying. #Musk #Tech #Tesla

Alberta separatists are about as pure and distilled an example as you’ll ever get of the “everyone is twelve now” theory.

The AI boom works for one person. The guy "selling the shovels". And in this gold rush that person is Jensen Huang. Huang convincing Google, Meta, X, Anthropic, OpenAI etc. to ruin themselves by buying GPUS they didn't need. #AI #Inflation

The owner of X is almost single-handedly funding the Republican midterm election campaigns. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

The reason debt is such a big issue in AI right now is because the big tech companies are doing "circular financing" where they all prop each other up. And that means that if one company goes completely bankrupt they all do. So debt defaults might mean the bursting of the bubble. #Tech #AI

I have an essay in the November issue of The Nation about the Dem establishment class war on the youths, and by extension DSA and young progressives in general: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Rabbit hole got deeper. The new Reed Richards cosmetic is a fusion of three variants: Absolute Joker Batman Who Laughs Joker from "The Killing Joke". 3 versions of the same character cannot be a coincidence. This is deliberate homage 😮 #MarvelRivals #Comics #DC www.youtube.com/shorts/bz9OH...

I've been corrected by a fellow nerd. The new Reed Richards fit is actually the best comic homage I've seen in a while. Because it's a fusion of Absolute Joker, and the Batman Who Laughs. These are deep cuts, and I am impressed www.youtube.com/shorts/bz9OH... #MarvelRivals #Gaming #Comics #DC

No, seriously. If Schumer or Jeffries gives someone any attitude at all they should ask them to confirm how many millions of dollars they've been paid to support Israel's genocide. And I hope someone records it. Because whatever their response is it's guaranteed to go viral. 🙁 #Election #DSA

The voters' job is to make politicians so scared of losing their job that they actually start doing their job. This is truly vital work. And it is only possible under a democracy. It is the voters who solve the country's problems. By removing those who won't fix them. #Politics #DSA #Election

Gamers: You've probably seen the new Reed Richards outfit inspired by the Joker. But you might not realise that it's actually a reference to the first appearance of Absolute Joker. Compare and contrast youtube.com/shorts/bz9OH... #Comics #Marvel #DC #Rivals #Fashion #Design #Drawfee

If purchase isn't ownership then piracy isn't theft. And if "ownership" only lasts for the length of a subscription then the "crime" is only a crime until you uninstall the game. 🥸 #Gaming #Playstation #Capitalism

Lindsay Graham is spinning in his grave because his particular torture in hell is for a selection of exquisite twinks in bondage garb to be locked in a large room with him. And how torturous it is that they are all far too nimble for Lindsay to ever catch one 😀 #Ally #Graham #LGBTIQIA #Memes

Money doesn't trickle down. Money flows towards power. If it doesn't then power changes things so it does. Money trickles up. Because everyone is trying to get the "trickle" to flow their way. But only the wealthy have the power to do it. So the system only works for them. #Inflation #DSA

AI Bros say their funding will let them make some impressive stuff, to be used to get people to give them more funding. And if you create a stable business model with this then it's entrepreneurship. But if you don't it's a Ponzi scheme. So as of right now it's a Ponzi scheme. #AI #Crash #Tech

There are a lot of theories about how Trump will rig the midterms and I think he's going to do everything. A few thousand pushed off the register here. A few thousand too scared to show up because of ICE over there. Maybe instead of a big scheme he has lots of little ones. #Election #Trump

Hey, Modi. You had to kick 200 million people off the voters' role before an election? Has it occurred to you that you might be an abusive gnome, that no one likes? Sincerely, TTB #India #Cockroaches youtu.be/cJANJoaEQxc?...

Plainly stated the massive escalation of AI went like this. 1. FOMO: The fear that other companies will get an infinite money engine and you won't, so you have to move fast. 2. Sunk Cost Fallacy: Why would we stop? We've already wasted so much money. #Tech #AI #Meta youtu.be/ooMIF0u_ldk?...

Seems like Epic also did a major patch yesterday. ...and now some of my games can't connect to the Epic Store. ...probably because Epic is using "vibe coding". I guess annoying your clients is a small price to pay if you get to ruin people's lives by replacing them with AI 😑 #Games #Epic #Steam

Ten years! For ten years I've been complaining that Steam is the only app on my PC that steals focus when it starts up. Today they finally patched it. Microslop is euthanizing its game studios. PlayStation has angered so many they even hate themselves. But Steam is still going. #Gaming #Steam

I'm too tired to post a joke so I'm just going to post the punch line: "You know what this means? We're going to have to sponge bath square punks!" #Comedy #Dead #tired #inflation #wtf

This is one of the greatest songs ever written. But only if you speak Afrikaans. Because no translation bot made by man or god could translate this song without losing every nuance that makes it amazing. To translate it they'd have to write poetry. #Music www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_uz...

Been trying to work out exactly who is "selling the shovels" in the goldrush that is the AI boom. And it's Jensen Huang. When the bubble bursts he will still be a billionaire because he convinced tech CEOs to buy massive volumes of GPUs that they didn't have infrastructure for. #Scam #LLM #RAM

This is why anyone who deploys an AI model is responsible for any harms it causes. It doesn't matter what "choice" the AI makes. It makes that choice because that is what its makers trained it to do. They launched the AI trolley, even though they knew there were people on the tracks. #AI #Tech

They did it again. Discord reset my notification sounds from "mute all" to "all on". It hurts every time. And they've done this because the executives at Discord are stupid and evil. 🤕 #Autism #Discord #Hatred

Marx had a theory that the wealthy are so ignorant of the real world that when poor folk started starving the wealthy wouldn't even notice it was happening. youtu.be/h-ZQ9U0UULk?... #News #Inflation #Food #NYSE #WSJ #MidTerms #DSA #Election
