sunk cost fallacy wife
#hamhammedia #hore

sciutto: i never told you, but my family dies young all the time. like a generational curse
hamaon: maybe your family's alternative lifestyle is the cause.
s: i've thought so too! like some sorta punishment! but even if you walk away from it, you just meet the same fate like the rest of us!

h: is that why you want to cheat death so bad?
s: not just to cheat. i want to surpass it, by any cost. it's been my life's mission since forever. to give up now would mean its been all for nothing.

timeskip here.

h: you're becoming unrecognizable.
s: you are such a scaredy-cat! you are always the first to bolt! you'll be a bad influence to the baby.
h: you're going to lose your sense of self if we keep this up!

s: so? am i becoming 'wrong' to you? was all this pain and suffering not worth it? i'm not what you want anymore?
h: stop that. i didn't mean it like that.
s: then stop fighting with me.

AWS going down and damn near collapsing the internet goes to show that one company having a monopoly on a service is a BAD thing!!!

wow that's crazy. you mean the exact thing every autistic software engineer pointed out was going to happen 3 years ago. this is what happens when ppl listen to 0 braincell grindset tech fellaters that think they're smart for the novel invention of "lying" instead of people who build real software

And I 100% knew why: "Developers ended up spending a lot of time checking and redoing the code that AI systems had produced—often more time than it would have taken to simply write it themselves." It's hard enough to troubleshoot, but to find a problem when you didn't write the logic behind it?

There's no way to opt out of the update. The tentacles are made from human souls but the souls don't mind! Everyone is happy about this!"

Peter Diamandis tweets: "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them."

Elon Musk replies: "Working will be optional in the future.

There will be universal high income."

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

I may be getting spicy in my next video essay script...

Fascism purges and destroys in the name of purity; liberalism arrives as the hero to “restore order” - solidifying and facilitating power back to capital and paving the way for the techno-oligarch future. Together they maintain the same architecture of control - the very same hierarchy of whose lives are livable, whose deaths are acceptable, and whose futures are imaginable.
The system was never built to serve us. It was built to preserve itself. So when I say I’ve lost faith in it, this is what I mean. No future can bloom inside its walls - only an endless, decaying present. The only path forward is to imagine beyond them, to see past the horizon of the flag, past the language of empire, past the myth of order itself.
They are bound—both in their minds and in the lines they draw on maps. By their borders. We are not. We live on a horizon they cannot even imagine.
Ezra Klein ends his op-ed with the line, “we are all safe or none of us are.” But trans women murdered in silence have never been safe. Immigrants who are snatched off the streets in the name of “order” have never been safe. Palestinians erased in the name of “peace” have never been safe. Safety for whom? The truth is not “we are all safe or none of us are.”
The truth is: we are all liberated, or none of us are.

If people know that an LLM looks at the word "strawberry" and reports that the number of "r"s in the word is 2, why do they think it'll look at the phrase "don't delete the database" and NOT report back that the phrase doesn't have the word "don't" in it?

in March of 1992, Australian TV network Nine Network aired "Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos", which ran for a total of 25 minutes before getting cut off for, and I quote, Kerry Packer, the owner of Nine Network, yelling at studio operators to "GET THAT SHIT OFF THE AIR!"
