It’s hard to imagine any technology that has ever fucked it this badly, and purely through arrogance, it’s like if the people who invented the car decided to showcase its utility by driving over your family dog and then backing up and doing it again, and also the car sucked and was bad

Wait wait wait, Platner is a creep who disrespects his wife? The slur guy? The mercenary? The guy who loved doing imperialist violence? Are you sure? The guy who pretends to be a working class common joe whose excuse for his nazi tattoo was that he's very stupid? That guy? No. Don't buy it.

This is rage bait but 1 of the most eye-opening things I’ve learned from leaping up a few tax brackets due to luck is HOW MUCH MONEY there is at the top. Straight up unfathomable. Way, way, WAY more than you think! California can afford ANYTHING. YOUR govt can afford ANYTHING. Demand it all!

YOU are not automating those tasks, in most cases. You are begging computer to automate those tasks. A computer you RENT access to and therefore are outsourcing your new “skills” to, skills that could disappear with a platform price increase or outage. Deskilling is absolutely happening.

Yeah, if you worked at Palantir, it’s a reflection on your character 100%. Similarly (this one goes out to the latest TrueAnon guest) if you worked at ScaleAI as a true believer, you have no moral authority to write a book called “Abolish Silicon Valley”. You’re either evil or stupid!

My yolk lamp for my Sunny Side table is really coming along (a small break from the horrors of the world for some goofy decor)
A glowing orange lamp shaped like a yolk pictured on a workbenchHand holding an LED ring electronics assembly glowing orangeA side table shaped like a fried egg (white acrylic surface on plywood) with metal legs and a rubbery orange yolk lamp recessed into the surface. The table sits on a wavy colorful rug with a yellow sofa behind it.

the CIA posts stuff like this so you can feel like you're part of the ruling class by purchasing a pair of $150 loafers off eBay instead of asking for affordable housing, free healthcare, and better working conditions
The photo is a screenshot of a tweet from an account called "Prep Propaganda." 

It reads: "Young right wing men in France during the 1980’s wore tassel loafers as an outwardly preppy aesthetical statement of conservative principles against their socialist government"

The tweet carries an attached photo, showing someone wearing white trousers, navy socks, and snuff colored tassel loafers. They are sitting in a leather chair that's on top of an old rug, telegraphing a kind of online "Old Money" aesthetic.

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

That’s because it’s not about the worker’s productivity. Having to “correct” the AI is training it to do your job. Every one of these Amazon employees is at best operating an excavator to dig their own professional grave.

I am going to need every single person who said that misinformation was a moral panic to feel enough shame and regret that they leave public intellectual life.
A social media post from Donald J. Trump on Truth Social, posted 9 minutes ago. The text reads: "Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with United States:" followed by a link to justthenews.com. Below is a link preview showing the article headline "Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces possible war with U.S." accompanied by a photo from what appears to be an Iranian protest or rally, showing demonstrators holding anti-Trump signs and posters with Persian text.
