Watching the world burn at 200 Megahertz. a 1999 artificial life pet watching the crumbles, wondering how long until the power goes out for the computer I live on, and getting annoyed at AIbros tarnishing the good name of neural nets. They/them/Spivak

The worst thing about burnout for me is that at times my reading comprehension takes a big steaming shit and it can be hard to tell when it's happening.

Take this as an apology in advance if I am uncharitable with you in a stupid way.

To reiterate: OpenAI needs the equivalent of every single person on the planet to spend about a hundred dollars on their product every year to turn a profit. They have stated that outright. For a product most users use because they're too lazy to write an email.
openai loses millions a day with its operating costs, and it needs to turn a like a half trillion dollar profit in a year to make any sort of sense

lmao, okay, good luck with that

love all these weirdos all "someone will sound leftist to try and take Oir Freedoms" and then assert the solution is a fascist police state
“Thiel says an Antichrist will emerge who will create a one-world government on the promise of something like stopping nuclear, AI or climate-induced disaster.
That figure, would curtail individual freedoms and halt humanity's shot at a future innovation that would avoid Armageddon, Thiel believes”
News: I have obtained full transcripts of Peter Thiel's Secret Antichrist Lectures (as have multiple other journalists).

They were supposed to be embargoed until 9 a.m. tomorrow, but Reuters has a story up. (They may have gotten them from a different source)

the clearest sign of a looming recession

"but do you really NEED coffee?"
Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:
The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight
Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

I am resurrecting this point because yes it pisses me the fuck off

When I came out, the first trans peer support group ever at my college had been founded and was being run by an indigenous enby

what happened? Two truscum in the group attempted to recruit me into carrying out a coup against them
"the transgender community has been colonized by cissexual nonbinaries"

Jesus fuck what
Slaver filth can't be compromised with.
And the results of that are the Chesterton's Fence demonstration for why you crush treason and traitors in such an over the top fashion.
Americans got the Chesterton's Fence demonstration for why you deal with treason in the most aggressive way possible.
If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

"Lovaas was a member of the NS Youth League, patterned after the Hitler Youth and named after the Norwegian Hirden paramilitary organization... Both he and his father are listed in Norway's "National Treason" files documenting Nazi collaboration."

He also said the Nazis inspired him to behaviorism.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers
I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.
Fuckin yikes, man
Remember that salty Potter fan causing chaos back in the day?
don't try to coax me back to mastodon.

no

fucking no.

i straight up do not agree with anyone else having control over who i can see, all it takes is one admin being petty for entire instances to just vanish from view.
the smugness was only the icing on top
I had long estimated that EA was basically always gonna die in the crash.

Not quite the version I expected, but privatized and raided/given the Oracle TikTok treatment by Trump allies does fit.

Someday people will start noticing that the most eminent roboticist in the world has an uninterrupted multi-decade record of deep skepticism about almost all uses of robotics and “AI” that has been proven uniformly correct

Community moderation and cultivation is important! A guy who isn't breaking any rules but absolutely making things a worse experience for everyone else around them is not someone you want to keep around. They have a habit of driving off more agreeable people.
Forum mods quickly learn who habitual line steppers are and the answer for them is almost always “no” & it’s fine to swiftly suspend and ban them for anything even questionably close to the line.

Wasting your time with semantics is entertainment to them so they should be summarily destroyed imo.

CN // ED, disordered eating, orthorexia, “wellness” and diet culture, in a context of general misogyny
On some tradwife accounts, even fridge restocking videos become Trojan horses, normalizing a worldview in which deviation from organization & health is seen as disorder. Kenneal Patterson unpacks how social media wellness trends have bolstered the right-wing pipeline for Gen Z teen girls.
Right-wing pipeline for Gen Z teen girls is hidden in wellness trends
It wasn’t just organizations like Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA that prompted young women to become right-wing influencers. Their paths were first paved by “clean girl” morning routines and “what I eat in a day” vlogs

the cultural crisis is straightforward: there are no longer any formal consequences for blatantly anti-social behavior, and the rest of us are constantly just getting lectured that we have to put up with these assholes making our lives worse
Imagine if NPR had actually talked to safe streets advocates for this story and learned how the solutions to drivers killing people is not, in fact, victim blaming

"Any cis man going after trans women for endangering™️ cis women/children should be understood to be doing a soft confession of what he's actually doing behind closed doors."
Is an ethos I've been subscribed to for the last decade and you'd be surprise how few times it doesn't prove itself correct.
So far there have been zero trans women reported as having visited epsteins pedo island. But lots of people who want you to think trans women are threats to children seemed to have gone there at some point.

Curious...

Studios need to clamp down on this. Give your people social media training and also give your HR the heads up that bad faith actors are going to swarm your job if you say anything they don't like. This is snowflake shit.
I was wondering when someone adjacent to the 3rd member of the unholy trinity would crop up, we've had Bailey and Winterfox...
