Who gets bored when you can hunt poor people for sport?

There’s already a lot of evidence that the majority of the economy is currently functioning off the economic activity of the upper 10% of society. That 10% accounts for 50% of all economic activity. They just want to take it a step further.

See, there are three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes. And all the assholes want is to shit all over everything. So pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes! And if they didn’t fuck the assholes, you know what you’d get? You’d get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!

Look if this dick can fuck all those assholes at Blackrock I’m cool with it.

NYT helping Anthropic overhype their new model

Great aesthetic. Waiting for the second time the fashion comes around in about 10-15ish more years. Fashion usually gets better second time around.

I’m getting a 503 forbidden, unable to load video. Any way you can post a link to the actual tweet on xcancel or something?

I’ve been saying it a lot lately, we finally built a computer that’s as unreliable as a human. I’m pretty sure that’s not a good thing.

Also Xbox controllers have garbage ass build quality. Valve seems to make pretty solid hardware. The only one I see as comparable is the PS5 dualsense controller, but it’s still missing some things like the extra buttons. It has a touchpad, but just one, and it’s not optimally placed, imho.

Cory Doctorow still uses pgp if you email him, I think his key is on his website, IIRC

Bill Hicks always had the best bit about this.

For England, James?

It’s a standout because you get the normal “for whatever reason Sean Bean’s character always has to die” but you get him dying not once but twice in the film.

Obligatory.

Trump again proves he’s faster than other Presidents at making quagmires. The best quagmires you’ve ever seen!

I mean, he fits in with all the other sexual predators in the White House.

Giggity

That’s definitely a path as well, but considering how smart (at least in math and computer science) you have to be to be developing AI in general. Those are not easy people to replace because of their skill levels and skillsets. Them just leaving and refusing to do the work is honestly a lot better play than trying to get everyone in the company on board for unionization. Only OpenAI is strictly an AI company. Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Twitter all have their fingers in other pies, meaning you would need to get everyone in a massive company on board. Far easier to just get all your colleagues on board and just bail to build your own thing.

LMAO a hunger strike in front of companies who literally don’t give a shit if you live or die.

I think the scariest thing about Artificial Intelligence is the absolute fucking basement-dwelling, fart-sniffing, booger-eating, antisocial narcissists with zero ability to empathize with other human beings developing and “training” it. They spend their lives acting like a victim because they’re “autistic” but I have met plenty of autistic people who aren’t self-aggrandizing, narcissistic assholes, so it’s not because of the autism, it’s because they’re assholes.

We’re essentially letting AI learn socialization from the people with the least quality socialization skills and interpersonal skills available. That’s the scary part, the idiotic shit it will learn from these narcissistic fucking idiots.

They can try all they want but they can’t wipe that photo of Cole Allen in an Israeli Defense Force sweatshirt off the internet.

Employees need to start figuring out that whining about it doesn’t change shit because you’re in a corporation, not a democracy. The only leverage they have is their numbers. They need to put up or shut up, the only way to stop this is for entire swaths of people to quit their jobs. Further, Google has plenty of people wealthy enough to start their own business, these people have options that a lot of others don’t. If they still care more about their paychecks than they do their ethics, I couldn’t give a fuck about their opinion that they won’t actually stand up to defend.

At least Timnit Gebru stood on principles (mostly anyway, she at least threatened to quit and they fired her), and the paper Google fired her over is more important today than when it was written in 2020. It was literally a prophetic document for all the issues we face regarding AI today.

Google pretended it fixed things by doing a lot of fake inclusivity bullshit (not that including people is bullshit, but rather Google’s methods are those weak and pointless corporate ideas of “inclusivity” are bullshit), and brushed the contents of the paper under the rug. The reality is that paper was way too on the nose of real problems for them to allow to be published as it was.

Anyway, if the employees didn’t figure it out six years ago when they shitcanned Gebru for standing up for herself (and humanity), I doubt they’ll magically figure it out now.

EDIT: typos

This doesn’t have enough pixels to tell but the difference is the spelling. The left has “Febreeze” and the right has the correct “Febreze.”
