Really interesting discussion about (among other things) it’s only money that is keeping Russia in the war, and that money is directly tied to the price of oil so if someone did something like start a war in the Middle East that would be really helpful to Putin

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Trump: "Frankly, if these radical left lunatic Democrats would come and say, 'Please, help us, please,' we'd stop crimes all over the place. Sometimes we have to force ourselves upon them because they're so bad."

Historical comparison group…in a contemporary head to head sample it might be close
Trump’s disapproval rating indicates he’s less popular with Americans than some insects like ants. Will it mean anything in November?
Good news for Trump before midterms: he’s still more popular than cockroaches

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

If you haven’t already you should take a look at How to Get to Heaven from Belfast. Its great craic, the peripheral characters are a fecking delight, accents that will make you wetter than an Auckland summer and it barely passes the reverse Bechdel, what’s not to love?

Can’t I just spent 6 months in a leaky boat
Can't I'm running up that hill

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

AI enthusiasts: AI is the great leveller anyone with a vision can create, no gatekeeping

Also AI enthusiasts: i have no vision
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

People who use wireless keyboards and mouse, how do you keep track of charge levels, or is it normal for them to just randomly run out with no warning?

Of course he would, bottom trawlers (both literal and figurative) gonna stick together

The cool thing about being sick is that when you get back to normal, it feels pretty good. Yay for baseline!!!

Do those people who have a really annoying loud penetrating voice know that they have a really annoying loud penetrating voice? Asking as someone who is fairly sure they don’t have a really annoying loud penetrating voice…
