I go out of my way to avoid AI. I tell everyone I know to do the same.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

I’m running on pure rage these days
The thing about AI anime dubs and AI Actor Tilly Norwood and AI music is just the fucking disrespect, this is what your industry thinks can replace you and it’s not even good. It’s not even a thing you look at with dread at how the computer has replaced Man, it just sucks ass lol it just blows

What kind of #Autistic are you?
I’m the kind that has a (badly) laminated timeline of the 19th century, with my personal history touchstones nicely dated, and I look at it in awe of how much technology and society changed in those 100 years. I’m comforted by patterns and relatability.

In Non-Houdini land, I also bought The Pinks, which is about the early days of the Pinkertons— especially Kate Warne, America’s first female detective.
Her first job was helping her boss Allan Pinkerton solve the Adam’s Express Company embezzlement case..

I just ordered like 5 Houdini books via Thriftbooks (fuck Amazon) and the one I’m MOST excited to read is about Rose Mackenberg— Houdini’s “girl detective”.
When Houdini got too famous to busy Spiritualists, he sent Rose pretending to be a “grieving widow”. She busted over 1,500 “mediums”

Ummm this reeks of 9/11 and JFK vibes. Like how the CIA was training afghan pilots in the states and allowed them in and out without consequence.
Same thing with Oswald who defected, went to Russia and was let back into the states, no problem.
CIA did this on purpose

FUCKKK I HATE HAVING PATTERN RECOGNITION!!
This is a CIA set up to start the fire they’ve been stoking since Trump let the Nat guard in. Citizens weren’t stirring enough shit so the CIA had to do it.
It’s the same shit over and over!!

Nothing to see here: Just a CIA trained killer from an elite unit travels from Washington State to DC to shoot random National Guard troops at a random train station on Thanksgiving Eve. Even MAGA has to know this smells rotten.

OH HE WAS CIA HUH!?! Very interesting.
We now know that the man who shot the National Guard troops worked with the CIA for years in Afghanistan in a covert unit that was accused of the widespread killing of civilians. This raises so many questions about why this guy travelled from Washington State all the way to DC to shoot soldiers

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Don’t forced your kids to hug people they don’t want to hug, even grandparents. Teach them and your elders about consent and let your kids have their own bodily autonomy.
They are not YOUR children. They are individuals. Your job as a parent is to guide them through this world.
Consent matters.

Love that we have to protect ourselves from Google’s shitty AI investment
Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

When you spend a good 6 years playing roller derby, you get really accustomed to falling on your knees.
Going for a casual roll in a pair of moxies I haven’t worn for a spell with super gummy wheels and NO KNEEPADS (helmet always)— I had this coming.
But boy did I feel ALIVE!!!

Also if you DRIVE a Tesla you are driving a vehicle that has a reputation for catching fire and locking the passengers in so they die in a blazing inferno. All of the safety protocols and history of crashes have been suppressed. Inspectors were bought off. you are driving a lithium Nazi bomb car.
My friends will know I often share finance tips. I'm 95% right.
Here's a tip: If you still have shares in the Ponzi scheme that is Tesla you're a fucking muppet!
Self driving by 2017? Mars by 2025? RoboTaxis by 2021? Robots next year?
He over-promises then moves onto the net scam! WAKE UP FFS!
