The only man that would ever call a high school gym an "arena." Pathetic. This has got to be a serious case of cognitive dissonance for those who were there, no?

Old lady in the ChatGPT commercial: "I'm giving a seminar on the history of sound in 30 minutes and I need you to check my dates..." Me EVERY TIME I hear it: "No you fucking aren't." That's a commercial scripted using crappy AI. Nobody has ever uttered that sentence in the history of the world.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

How about we not use human pronouns for computer programs? "She" didn't do anything. "It" followed its wonky ones and zeroes.

I wonder how long it will take businesses (and social media folk) to realize that using obvious AI-created images are hurting their brand. They're not interesting. They're not good. And they send the message that you don't really care about what you're doing. Lazy and ineffective.

I can see the campaign merch for the 2028 Republican presidential candidate now. Just four words and an ellipsis: But the Biden Administration...

People who use AI images to promote their businesses are telling me they are putting as little effort as possible into reaching out to potential customers. I'm happy to respond by putting as little effort as possible into being at all interested in what they are trying to sell me.

ChatGPT got me actually hating little old ladies. I grab for the remote as soon as I hear them. It's like the big AI companies are realizing they've turned off almost the entire population but are hoping to still be able to tap into the same audience that still falls for telephone scammers.

In ten years i hope we look back and wonder why in the hell we put AI in everything. I hope it'll settle into the places it is truly beneficial and everything else will seem like a bizarre dream we had.

Good point. My tired-brain isn't firing on enough cylinders to have thought of that.

My instant, no-information, tired-brain prediction: Putin had him poisoned while in Ukraine to try to make it look like Zelenskyy had him taken out.

Was Neville the wrong hire? Absolutely. Could the TImbers have found someone better? Probably not. What coach worth his salt would come work for MP and the mess he's made here? I hold very little hope for a quality coach until we have a new, quality owner.

The idea of a tax-payer funded slush fund to give payouts to J6ers is awful. But let's be real. That money ends up in Trump's pockets somehow. He's not exactly known for handing out money, you know?

I keep waiting for the rats to start jumping off the sinking Donald Trump ship, but maybe it's better if they all stay on and just go down with the damned thing.

We don't get a quality team until we get a quality coach. And we don't get a quality coach until we get a quality owner. This all starts at the top. No quality coach wants to be associated with MP. #RCTID

I love the perspective of this shot. The giant books on the desk and the distance to where he's sitting. Makes him look like the widdle baby man he is.

At this point? He was literally the worst manager in the league when we hired him. Won't attract true talent until MP sells the team.

It should be illegal for any commercial, television show, or movie to use the sound of a smoke alarm, the beep of a truck backing up, or the high-pitched alarm on an old watch. This message brought to you by my dogs as they nervously hide under things.

I'm one little blip in that number! My wife is another. Our school is looking to adopt an AI option and I'm pushing as hard as I can away from ChatGPT. Fuck 'em.

Until he stops calling it the Department of War, I'm not believing a thing out of his mouth. Already made my move to Anthropic's Claude. Won't be going back.

History will show that this administration had the smallest penis size per capita of any administration in history. That's the only explanation for all of this.

It only takes about 5 minutes to switch from openai to anthropic's Claude. Feel very much the same. Almost no learning curve. Vote with your money. Goodbye, openai.

I've long had a goal of having less screen time in my life. Wasn't expecting the assistance from right-wing billionaires to make it happen. I guess I'll be adding CNN and HBO to the list of places I won't be spending any more time or money.

These people are the stupidest mother fuckers around. That's the only thing that give me confidence they won't succeed in rigging the election. They are an administration of bumbling, pompous morons.

To be fair, this would probably be a much better administration if they were ALL tripping on mushrooms.

At this point, I think Canada needs to start opening "Made in Canada" stores all across America. I think they'd do gangbusters business. I'd shop there.

I'm a huge fan of the Olympics, but something about watching the opening ceremony celebration of peace and then hearing that they disqualified a Ukrainian athlete for making the "political statement" of wearing images of friends who died in the war on his helmet has me very soured on it this year.

Chuck Schumer is the parent who says, "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed." He needs to be fucking MAD! They all do. I'm sick of measured, politically-correct script-reading. Drop the polish and speak.
