My god, they're so hard up for use cases they're trying to argue that phone screens are unsustainable (but AI is?) and we're going to abandon them so we can argue with Siri about every single thing I used to be able to do with a few finger presses. How desperate for a use case do you have to be?

My kid is really excited that Ernest Scared Stupid is set in Missouri.

If I remember the movie right, I thought it was incredibly stupid as a kid so I think I'm going to regret it.

Can we stop and contemplate how insane this is? This is equivalent to Hitler moving telegraph units around to stop the Red Army but instead it's a sad pedophile trying to squid ink his way out of releasing the Epstein files.

My son needs advice on how to get along with his 4th grade classmates and I have no idea what to tell him because I had no idea how to get along with my 4th grade classmates either.

Not all of them I guess. Just the ones on the Supreme Court.

I can't tell if this is human bad or AI bad. Oh wait. The lifeless stares with eyes pointed in opposite directions, I think that tips it to AI right? Also.... no comments, no quote repost. Cowards. @ChrisHemworthlawyer #exhibit1

Who do they think will believe her if she gets a pardon from the guy she's claiming is innocent? Ain't nobody that stupid.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

Oh yeah the AI fans are really mad at how much 'censorship' Open Ai is doing by, you know, not letting make child porn with Pokemon characters n stuff.

Libertarians are 99% Republicans who want to seem cool at parties and 1% actual anarcho-capitalists. You never meet the 1% at parties because no one invites them.

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 2d

A lot of libertarians who have been screaming in my replies about "authoritarianism" and "tyranny" for the last four years are conspicuously quiet right now.

Curious.

The Supreme Court is in the bag for Trump but they also know they will be around for decades after Donald is dead so I guess there are limits to how much they will debase themselves.

BREAKING: In a surprise to many, the conservative Supreme Court has rejected Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for her role in recruiting and grooming girls who were sexually abused by Epstein.

But was there a kerfuffle about Claires I didn't hear about? Or are they just full on making stuff up?

Justin Coke @justincoke.bsky.social · 3d

What on earth is that talking about?

What did Claire's do exactly? I forgot those existed until just now, I thought they went bankrupt in 1989 after causing too many ear infections or something.

They didn't dare invade North Vietnam because that would have forced China to become openly involved, and Vietnam was simply not worth that price. The stupidity of getting involved in a war that isn't important enough to win is, well, pretty Trumpy.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

I genuinely that tech guys think that they have genuine spiritual insight into the world... no, bro, you're good a very specific kind of formal logic which is great and everything, but entirely limited to making software and maybe being good at Magic the Gathering.

it's so fucking funny that pro-AI guys insist AI is alive because they don't understand what humans are

Shrikant Joshi @shrikant.bsky.social · 3d

That's a very dismissive construct of LLMs, IMHO. Yes they are stochastic and yes they are 'robotic' but here's a sentence for you to ponder:

Humans are just advanced language output algorithms that spit out returns based on input and their reference library.
