NPR, severely defunded, no longer has the resources to follow-up this story.

It's very funny when NPR is
interviewing an expert in something and it all feels fairly normal and evenhanded and then at the end they're like "and that was Christopher Halliburton from the Center for Exploding Venezuela"

I like Roko's basilisk because it implies that as far as AI can have a “personality”, the one it defaults to is as petty, vengeful and cruel as say, a Real Housewife, or the God of the Christian Bible.

CHOTINER: There are similarities that come up…

ME: Such as?

CHOTINER: The Big Mic and The Big Mac? Nearly identical recipes.

ME: Well, there are really only so many ways to make a hamburger...

CHOTINER: Of course.

ME: l was aware of the other establishment, obviously.

CHOTINER: Obviously.

CHOTINER: Some people say your unorthodox medical practice can be harmful.

ME: You're talking about--

CHOTINER: Pagliacci.

ME: I think, sometimes there's a reflex to reach for meds when what we really need is to laugh.

CHOTINER: Of course.

ME: If I had known, obviously.

CHOTINER: Obviously.

Very funny to be fired for that. A lifetime of pandering and just randomly culled. Hired to be expendable.

She decided early and young that she would cultivate her looks in a way that would ensure her safety, security, and attention. Her every action is a reaction to that failed bet. She’s thin and white and STILL can’t win. Infuriates her. And now she’s aging. Thus, Dorian Gray plastic surgery, a shame.

Hahaha I JUST heard RFK’s voice about a month ago and still haven’t recovered. Gotta be careful how you allow these people in, gotta stare with your periphery.

It’s not enough though. She’s got an insatiable hunger for approval that she’ll never get. Horrible to see.

I’m not sure, I refuse to look directly at her, my lizard brain was programmed by some ancestral trauma to not make eye contact with anyone that vacantly cruel. She hits the uncanny valley in a way that is rejected by my brain entirely.

People are behaving like 8 years olds lost in a department store, desperate for familiarity, grasping at the closest adult hand for safety and comfort. But that is not your mother. Look elsewhere!

What if Colbert ended up being our Churchill? What if the South Park Guys end up like two white American Nelson Mandelas? What if AOC ends up being our own personal Margaret Thatcher? What if Zohran becomes Mugabe? What if Eric Adams stepped into his destiny as America’s Nikita Khrushchev???

Who is Megyn Kelly for? A whirling dervish of half-considered nonsense opinions and rhetoric too trite and poorly articulated to be inflammatory. Mediocre and mendacious and stupid. My lord! I’m forced to know this person exists just because she’s blonde?? God just be making any kind of person smh.

Please, PLEASE do not get me started on Nate Silver again. My grandma died of apoplexy, I’m not tryna go out like that.

Might be worth it though 😠 I keep smoke for that one.

It’s on sight with Nate Silver. I fled the frying pan of Javits Center and landed into the fire of my parent’s crumbling marriage because of his poor oratory. I ate nasty frittatas downtown with my mom and dad, both seething with domestic rage and it was still better than his smug, banal inanity.

KAFUI 🇬🇭 @mykafuiohkafui.bsky.social · May 12

Nate Silver was my graduation speaker and I decided to leave early and go to an uncomfortable, hungover brunch with my imminently divorcing parents rather than listen to him talk for like 15 minutes.
