You know, I would just not pick a fight with Isaac Chotiner. Chotiner and @dieworkwear.bsky.social
If either of them decides to toss of a single-post roast of me, I'm just going to walk right on by. Maybe wave. Cause what I ain't gonna do is win.

Me when a driver is buggy: "computer's haunted"
Me when we take the crystalized thoughts of every dead person who has ever been recorded and compress them into a singular artifact we imbue with false life:
"It's just linear algebra"

The super cool AI use case for a middle aged trillionaire is you could take a pic of a fellow party guest and Grok will spew clever vulgar insults about the person's appearance? Jfc what a sad stunted man he is.
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

On average, neither ordinary people nor governments give a shit about anything until it affects them, and this applies to every country in the world.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Looking at the trajectory and inertia of events in the US, I am finding it hard to envision a (best case) scenario where the US is able to prevent a successful Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

Poetry about felching is one thing, it's reading it in the voice of a misaligned dryer that pushes it into unacceptable territory.

In a previous thread, I compared the small diameter MiG-21F-13 inlet with the larger diameter one of the MiG-21PF.

The problem with trying to force Ukraine to do this deal is that US support has completely dried up. The last supplementals were passed in middle of 2024. The Trump Admin hasn't asked any major new funding for Ukraine..some USAI equipment remains undelivered but that is it. It has little leverage...

Fine. You all win. I’m logging off for the day because I‘m a big smelly man who’s also a Nazi and a bigot because I liked it better when Groypers didn’t have 1,770 nuclear weapons on hair-trigger alert. Feel free to brag in your discords about how my jimmies have been rustled and I was owned.
