i need all discourses about whether ai is actually useful for certain tasks or if not using it is a privilege (???) to cease immediately until they stop selling compute at a multi-billion dollar loss

fondly remembering the pre-natlan days when azhdaha was the shittiest weekly boss in genshin. i didn't know how good i had it

Something I spoke about before was how transphobia is often an expression of misogyny, it gives people who hate women an outlet and sets trans women up as a class of women it's socially okay to be misogynistic towards, while also providing an ideological justification for that misogyny.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

I had my AI agent create an app called “Lunch” to help me with decision fatigue and boost my productivity. It has a few pictures of things I might like to eat. Tapping one spawns a subagent to order that item on Uber Eats and 60-90 minutes later I’m eating. It’s 600 thousand lines of JavaScript.

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

erininthemorning.comDon’t Vote For The Worst Anti-Trans DemocratsThe Democratic Party should, and likely will, win big in the midterms. We must not send the worst anti-trans voices to join them.

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

If you care about fighting climate change, salvaging the Amazon rainforest and maintaining its capacity to positively influence Earth's weather systems, it's difficult to overstate just how significant a bullet the planet just dodged.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

I've seen a few people recently point out this Skinner Box behavior to current LLMs. And since a little bit of unreliability increases engagement I wonder if any LLM company operating under capitalist incentives would ever be incentivized to push errors as low as possible on a public-facing model.

I'm sure it's good that over the past several days I have seen multiple vibecoding people say their individual versions of "yeah this is like playing a slot machine for me and I find it hard to stop and I love that actually"

how long has the backstory been that the travellers arrived on a spaceship in cryosleep? because that's sure not what I remember from the intro

don't recognise anyone on the genshin 7.2 banners so maybe i'll just go back into hibernation until they release the tsaritsa or rerun sandrone...

wow fuck the chessboard boss in genshin, it said to bring a water and an ice character so i did just that but what it failed to mention is that the characters you choose need to be able to apply both water and ice like 10 times a second or you're getting instakilled. gameplay!

people are acting like this is about AI bots hacking into people's bank accounts but it's actually about people who have given their AI agents access to their computer on purpose
