I could eat cold sesame noodles multiple times a week and still look forward to it. I know this because I basically already do it

If my name was Geordie Greep I would try not to do anything that would lead people to make the incredibly easy move of calling me “Geordie Creep” idk maybe I’m just built different (not a creep)

This seems super related to Ancestry’s new DNA “traits” feature, which supposedly tells you about yourself based on your DNA… it’s such a gimmicky and eugenicist addition to a genealogy site, I’m always disgusted seeing it

I’m pretty sure people already know that the consequence for doing a mass shooting is serious

inside the ranks, and so he's going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be, and we'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public, because people need to understand there's serious consequences for these types of things,"

The “masks don’t work” stuff is so ridiculous, when pressed to explain these people will usually say some version of “no one will wear them/wear them properly” which is like UMMMM HELLO?

Let’s not forget that the precautions we associate with Covid (clean air, PPE like masks) were *lessons* more of us learned in the earlier stages of the pandemic. Lessons that, applied, can protect from many other viral illnesses and create greater access for immunocompromised people.

One of RFK Jr’s primary goals in life is to kill as many Samoan children as he can

More than half of children in the US receive vaccines through VFC, and some states and American Samoa are also known as "universal" vaccine purchasers, which means they buy vaccines through this system for all children in the state or territory, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. But as updated

If we’re really in the age of AGI or whatever I’d expect that AI “agents” would be able to present themselves to me in a way that isn’t immediately off-putting

A Meta ad for a new “AI assistant” featuring this weird blobby guy who is supposed to look cute and unthreatening. The copy reads:

Meet Muse, your new personal Al agent Hand off everyday tasks like finding deals, booking reservations, and managing your inbox.
Muse keeps working while you get on with your day.
Try Muse

Experiencing 9/11 then the Bush admin’s immediate pivot to warmongering/WMDs combined with the cultural surge of islamophobic jingoism was hugely eye-opening for me as a 12 year old, also makes our current Covid-to-MAHA era feel like the scariest de ja vu.

It depresses me to see how much the people yearn for slop. If you’re interested in people’s lives there are a bazillion things you can look at that aren’t AI generated bullshit.

Also I am increasingly reading the use of “bootlicking” here as a cynical attempt to dilute the meaning of the term and redefine it as synonymous with “ass-kissing”… it’s just all sus all the way down

I never know what the fuck people mean when they mention the “usefulness of LLMs” offhand, and I’m very suspicious of the “I don’t hate AI, I hate what it *represents*” angle… feels INCREDIBLY weak

I shouldn't judge my parents for embracing a tool that helps them stay relevant, but I will. Much as I can see the usefulness of LLMs, I hate what they represent. I'm a millennial writer racked by existential fears and terrified Al will steal my job.
My parents, near the end of their careers, are far more open to a bot's benefits-and tolerant of its bootlicking."

I hate trying to track down bs AI references with a fire… before I realize it’s just made up I always have a mini crisis like “wait do I not know how to navigate a library directory?!?” Such a waste of time to feel insecure before realizing you were just being bamboozled

Been noodling on this and I’d analogize LLMs to plastic. I’m still thinking it through but like… convenient yet shoddy, inserted into everything largely leading to lesser quality, major polluter/petro user, few niche use cases overshadowed by massive consumer waste… there’s something there
