that's what i don't get about the llm bros

you don't buy bread at the store and say "it makes me feel like a baker."

it can't.

and how do you even know what a baker or tiktok creator feels like? you don't, bc you've never made anything.

the feeling they're feeling is pretend play

Reading tech dudes enthuse about Sora , “it let’s me feel like a TikTok creator”, just confirms to me that these shitbirds are simultaneously lazy as hell and have no taste.

(There’s literally zero barrier to entry for becoming a TikTok creator.)

terrifying

Top: bear is telling a scary story around a campfire “Then, suddenly - my PHONE RANG.” Pig replies “What’s scary about that?” Bottom: bear continues “They didn’t text me first to say they were gonna call.” Pig and hamster are horrified “GASP!”

The number of people who understand that it's not cool to be on Twitter but who insist on being on substack is fucking bizarre

You're 100% not fighting fascism on substack. I don't care what you think you're doing. But it's not that

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Thought you'd enjoy this.

these are not serious people

www.whitehouse.gov/government-s...

the top of the website has a big red banner that reads: "DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN: DEMOCRATS IN THEIR OWN WORDS"

it then says: "Democrats Have Shut Down the Government" with a little timer counting up from midnight eastern october 1st

in the middle is the giant countdown clock which reads "00 00 00"

under that in big letters: "Democrats Have Shutdown the Government"

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like:

-masked secret police kidnapping people off the street
-creating concentration camps
-attempting to eradicate trans people
-banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books
-murdering fishermen in open waters
