on the anthropic IPO stuff, I think this via @garbageday.email is pretty much spot on www.garbageday.email/p/they-want-...
But I’ll end this here with a little conspiracy theory courtesy of Hacker News that I have decided I will believe until I see proof to the contrary. “OpenAI and Anthropic are publicly asking for slowdown in AI research,” one user wrote. “Translation: We see this technology not being any more useful than what it is now, no AGI is coming, and the first one to accept this and slow down the dollar burn rate will incur the wrath of the market. So let's say this big boogeyman technology will end all life on earth and we all slow down together.”

“The hot new song is now the perpetual hot new song and there are all kinds of systems in place to make sure it stays that way. At a certain point, that level of domination doesn’t look like a good thing, it means you aren’t competing against anyone else. It means the entire system might be broken.”

To be clear, it was Panic World producer @grantirving.bsky.social asking the question because Ryan approved anything on this list under $100.
A frankly terrible photograph of a "SIMP MENU" for youtuber Pinkii's services provided at a mpreg rave. The menu is pink, contains photos of Pinkii, and contains services such as "get slapped by Pinkii" ($10, with video $15), "get stepped on by Pinkii ($20, $25 with video), and "kneel & beg Pinkii to take your cash on video" ($100). It also notes that you can purchase Pinkii's stage socks for $500.

Many years ago, there was a yearly internet-themed Halloween costume contest in New York City called Hallowmeme. Our next live show at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn on October 27th is NOT Hallowmeme. But it is a tribute. It’s a night of comedy, music, journalism, and of course, a costume contest.

A solid account of the migration of Kirk memes from the groyper right to the left, although my guess is that trans shitposter DMs were in at the beginning, too. Anyway: “Trumpism is doomed because they suck at event planning”is real insight

The most recent @garbageday.email has a prediction about Silicon Valley trying to make gen-AI cool and I think is both spot-on & very depressing
As AI usage becomes something fewer and fewer people will be comfortable admitting they use, Silicon Valley reactionaries will absolutely try and spin it as something edgy and dangerous. It will not work in the long term, the same way none of their messaging and would-be social engineering really sticks, [highlighted text starts here] but it will mean that in approximately five months, there’s going to be an extremely tedious national conversation about whether or not using an AI is actually the new punk rock.

I'm currently reading @kkdumez.bsky.social's 'Jesus and John Wayne' so this paragraph from the latest issue of @garbageday.email hit especially hard:
Screenshot of an email newsletter. Text reads "It wasn't just the question of "what is America" that loomed over the whole weekend for me, though. I also wondered whether this was all even worth it. Not just White's $60 million investment, but, also, Trump's continued endorsement of hypermasculine gutter culture. Can you feed a political movement with jalapeño vodka slams, Monster Energy Drinks, and potato chip skewers? The modern Republican Party has always been a coalition of vampiric aristocrats and a roving tailgate of redneck dopes, but at least the party of Reagan and Bush was smart enough to LARP as some mythic cowboy archetype. Do the JD Vance's and Marco Rubio's of the world think there is a path forward after Trump if they can capture the "guy who wears an Affliction T-shirt in the pool" vote?"
