marked as rude, alas
If I'm being annoying, tell me. If I'm not doing it on purpose, I'll probably stop.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Daily reminder than there are no such things as incels. It's a nonsense term used to remove personal responsibility for being loveless losers.

this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

Would we feel bad if an East German killed a Stasi? Why do we have to pretend we give a shit when a present day brown shirt gets killed?
I simply do not understand. But I'd like to.

The question to ask here is whether 5 million gallons a day is a lot by industrial water consumption standards
An acre of soybean farm consumes ~5,000 gallons/acre/day, so 5 million gallons is about 1,000 acres of soybeans - if an average soybean farm has 300 acres that's just over 3 soybean farms

Savatage's "Wake of Magellan" album is phenomenal, but not nearly as good as the linear notes. which I think are required reading to fully feel the album.

The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
