I’m realizing that my parents will have retired from the farm by the time Mari and I have kids and so I will have to invent some form of hard labor for them to do for character development when they turn six

Have a college degree and a career and a doctor for a wife and living in San Jose, but returning to work for the Circle K where I got my first job every summer, the way a salmon knows to swim up river to find the place it was born

@fartbuttsex30 @EpicMasterChief The scene is set in the 1920’s, but the 1940’s audience would have found the dance corny and out of date in the same way we might poke fun at 2000’s dance trends

Reminder that George W. Bush, a guy famously considered an idiot, read up to 100 books a year *as president*

sniffing glue may cause a lot of car accidents but it also enables you to commune with the gorilla glue spirit-guide who saves your life. impossible to say if it’s good or not.

I don't know why anybody would be surprised that most humans prefer AI-generated pablum to real literary writing. Humans on average prefer *human-generated* pablum to real literary writing! "Most humans" are the demographic for, like, Young Sheldon

AI labs: "The purpose of our product is to make you obsolete and poor. Also, there's a chance it may exterminate you."

AI labs: "Wait, why are we so unpopular???"

[Lincoln Michel @TheLincoln]

Recently I talked to some AI boosters who were claiming AI can now produce entire books as good as the average book published by publishing houses today. When I asked for what AI books they had read, they each said"I haven't read any. I don't read books at all." Oh, okay.

I will keep repeating this until everyone gets it: The Trump regime could literally kill your family for no reason and Trump, the GOP and right wing media will defend their murder. This is what a fascist regime looks like.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Hilarious. The GOP has gone full anti-gun, anti 2A, in order to defend ICE.

MAGA are Aristotle's "natural slaves." They lack the full capacity for rational self-governance, possessing intelligence only enough to understand commands, but not to deliberate independently. They exist between animal and human, and understand only force and demands.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

MAGA is full of people with "don't tread on me" bumper stickers who think federal agents should be allowed to gun people down in the streets because they feel like it.

going back in time to kill baby hitler only to discover on your return that fascism was a result of wider social forces and you've still just killed a baby

It’s funny how phones have made clock towers obsolete. Like now I can just google images of clock towers whenever I want

[vo @vanillaopinions]

trump narrowly won the popular vote and is deeply unpopular. the economy is clearly about to crater. civil society and business rolling over is baffling

[UwUTangClan @Executivejeff1]

used to be that you could call yourself a poet and just be hammered 24/7 and everyone was like, "yeah that's the poet, the beauty all around has driven him to madness"

[suhaib, the duelist @bigsatodontcrai]

a lot of pro-AI people don’t fundamentally understand that generative AI isn’t a tool, it is literally a replacement for thought. actual tools require knowledge for the tool and the ability to apply them. the skill needed for prompting is owning a keyboard and knowing english.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

[Carl @HistoryBoomer]

Thinking that murder has gone up since 1990 is amazingly clueless.

Everything makes a lot more sense if you realize that most people have no idea what’s going on.
