Ed Zitron blocked me a while ago. He's a dainty puff. While I appreciate his false bravado, he's also a hypocrite and doesn't know what attribution is.

He's said several times how much he respects Wired. How much now, y'fucking puff?

Ed Zitron Gets Paid to Love AI. He Also Gets Paid to Hate AI

He’s one of the loudest voices of the AI haters—even as he does PR for AI companies. Either way, Ed Zitron has your attention.

If I had an AMG wagon, I'd have put +100K miles on it too.

Sam Altman perpetually looks like moron. I mean, he's just got that "I'm a moron" look on his face.

The stance and those wheels are perfect. Amazing.

And great video overview of the car, worth a watch!

This sounds absolutely mad. Dude has lost it.

Is he describing a bribe? This makes zero fucking sense.

I had BOAS done for one of my former bullies. It's a game changer. Louie's gonna love it. 🤟

They really missed the mark with that wheel/tire combo. And still trying to figure out why and EV would need a transmission.

Build looks high quality tho.

Instead of "snow day" we now have "denial of service day".

Slippery slope

If we can't bring ourselves to invest the effort to ensure the toilet paper falls of the front of the roll EACH AND EVERY TIME we change it...

Then we are no better than our AI overlords.

A junkyard build that can't pass emissions. Who would want to take on the risk. Won't go for much.

The people around Donald Trump are taking advantage of his diminished capacity to break the law.

Whatever they do now, we won’t forget — and we will hold them accountable.

Most porn sites make money off ads. OpenAI doesn't have that capability yet, and that biz model is totally unproven.

More, the inferencing costs will be MEGA for smut. Dudes will want videos, not Penthouse Forum sex essays. No way this will be profitable.

Prayers answered with today's announcement of SmutGPT. Very on brand for conservatives.

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 20d

The administration “is currently pressuring OpenAI and other AI companies to make their models more conservative-friendly.”

OpenAI is trying to clamp down on ‘bias’ in ChatGPT

GPT-5 is better at resisting liberal ‘pressure,’ the company says.
