Fucking terminal CEO brain. Why does any industry need these people? What fucking value do they provide to the human race?

I've seen some people say that Dylan is a boring main character but tbh I find him endearing and feel kinda sorry for him every time it comes up that he pretty much missed his entire life because he was being held prisoner by a psychopath

Meta wants your data so they can exploit it. Whatever else they're talking about, that is always their motivation. In any context. You don't have to think hard about it. If it's a question of giving Zuck your data, the answer should always be hell no.

This year is not going well. I realize how bad it is that I’m asking for support in such a bad time for everyone. It’s a punch in the gut to write these posts because I just want to find a job and get back to being productive. I’m still getting tests done. I’m scared a bit. Please, if you can.

Okay so I just turned ray tracing off completely and now am playing at full resolution at 60+ fps and even on the medium preset (with a few tweaks) Resonant looks amazing on this crusty old 2080 RTX 😄

That mac mini m4 purchase two years ago turned out to be a fantastic idea given the way things have gone since then. Easily the best $600 I've ever spent on computers and it still runs like a dream.

over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

Charge Altman and/or Amodei with violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Bring the hammer down like we did on poor Aaron Swartz. Then we’ll see if their products continue to “break containment”.

those things can also make money, be profitable, and sustain careers and livelihoods for decades. they cannot, however, make an individual a trillionaire, so the pirate financiers in charge deem them not good enough

I'd have thought that the goal of a nominally centre-left political party would be to build a voter base of marginalised groups with overlapping interests and not to deliberately alienate minorities and then get arsey about it. But, what I failed to consider is, they don't want to.
