Part of the problem for Hollywood right now is that there are movies like Forgotten Island, which is fun and heartfelt and weird and good, and the people in charge have less than zero understanding of how to market it.

Just to be 100% clear… if you vote for Gavin Newsom in a Democratic primary, you are an absolute mark.

One thing is certain... there is no amount Democrats can win by in November that wont result in a deluge of "It would have been bigger if it weren't for progressives" takes.

If the AI era has taught us anything, it’s this: it’s fine to judge people based on their aesthetic preferences

It's so incredibly funny that Duncan Trussell and Kurt Metzger looked at The Onion/Alex Jones feud and thought "Gotta go with Jones on this one." Absolutely fatal cases of dipshit contrarianism.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

Half the time, when people talk about what they want AI to do for them, I truly do not understand what they think "being alive" is for.

Catastrophe is right. Settling like this is also saying "Yes, we think it's antitrust, but if you pay enough we'll let you do it anyway."

Yesterday I sat on a bench at the old Tempelhof airport in Berlin on a super windy day, reading and listening to the new Phoebe Bridgers like an overly emotional 22 year old and I highly recommend the experience.

if you don't think the computer is alive you just haven't used it enough. you just haven't done it right. you just haven't done enough research and read enough posts by other people who think the computer is alive. if you just used it more you would agree that it's alive

it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

Referring to a guy doing a movie with The Daily Wire that only the nation's most bigoted uncles will ever see as a "comeback" is a real insult to all other comebacks.

Once again, there's a reason they won't spell out how we'd go extinct. Are we getting Jurassic Park'd because the AI is reinventing dinosaurs? Are they getting access to the nuclear codes and hypnotizing the president into using them? They are referring to bank/infrastructure hacks and exaggerating.

I also think a lot of the people who get on board with AI doomerism are themselves addicted to the technology and reason that if someone as smart as them can fall prey to it, then the world at large is doomed, when the reality is that they refuse to criticize their own profound spiritual weakness.

There are lots of bad things going on in the world, but personally, gotta say that the fact that clearly a spider egg sack clearly hatched somewhere in my kitchen last night filling the place with spider babies is probably the worst one.

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.
