There’s one of these YOU ARE BEING RECORDED things in the parking lot of the grocery store where deodorant is behind locked glass and an armed security guard checks every receipt on the way out. People normalize our gradual dystopian shift, but if someone teleported in from 1990 they’d be horrified.
There's a corner house on our street where when you walk down the sidewalk on either side and a loud stentorian voice says HELLO! YOU ARE BEING RECORDED! It's very creepy in a neighborhood where children constantly walk around on sidewalks

If you want people to be 'reasonable' about a subject, I highly recommend not stealing from them, attempting to coerce them into using a mutilated mockery of their own stolen goods and then sniggering that this will ruin their livelihood.

there is absolutely no way that management laid off "most" of the devs that made a game two weeks after it came out, unless they were already planning to kill off the game before it launched
which means they maliciously lied to their own employees for months, if not years

This is true and I'll go further and say attempts by AI boosters to have a conversation are probably attempts to confuse what is true ("AI" is a top-to-bottom scam run by fascists and swindlers) with a fantasy or a nice little story about what could be. The conversation is part of the con.
One thing I find very frustrating about this convo is that it IS possible to build AI/LLM tech that is open, interoperable, pluralistic, publicly transparent, & less resource-intensive. Instead it's being specifically designed and funded by technocrats, turbofascists & drug-addled con men
There is still a strain of populist critical AI discourse that holds the technology is fundamentally worthless or fatally flawed. I think
Chris Hayes is at least right to call that a dead end.

What this tells me is I should be getting together every other weekend with friends to balance the books on a McDonald's franchise. We could do it in character or we could just focus on the stats and the random encounters.
When reading this article, consider the median average revenue of a single McDonald's location in 2021 was $3.3 million. There are four RPG companies in the world that bring in meaningfully more money than a single McDonald's. Lots of incredible companies bring in way less than a single McDonald's.

what the hell do you mean, my problem "isn't in the DSA's purview". You're the ones always saying a better world is possible. Well, in this world, a giant centipede is fucking my wife. Clattering, squelching, rasping bellows of orgasmic triumph. Getting hissed at by a six foot arthropod lothario

There's a certain jazzy piano riff they play on Unsolved Mysteries segments about con men that's much lower stakes than their usual music and lets you know that on some level they condone what these con men have done.

When I was six I wanted to see Spaceballs but I was afraid it was going to be scary, but my dad assured me it would be funny. And it WAS funny until the very end with the alien chestbuster parody, through which I screamed and screamed while my dad laughed and laughed.
Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:
Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

I've said this before, but when Texas himbo Rick Perry said supply and demand was when "you put the supply out there and the demand will follow," everyone laughed at him, but that's how rich people think the economy is supposed to work. That's how they make it work.
Yes to this whole thread but especially this part. The idea that we have some kind of collective social responsibility to find a use for these products because companies have already invested so much money in them is the exact inverse of how a healthy economy should function.
This notion of having to collaboratively Fizzy Lifting Drink it into being even if you're Just Some Guy (i.e. me) is SV brain investor cope and a hangover from when the only thing these same guys were selling was "look how many people are playing in MY ball pit". Just My 2 Cebts

The Penguin being booed offstage and pelted with tomatoes because there was a recording of him calling the public “pinheads” is now the most unrealistic thing in a movie that ends with an army of rocket birds.
