My mother got certified in cosmetology and that’s part of how she was able to raise my three brothers and I. These people are assholes who experience the world solely through “takes” hinging on misogyny and the like.

CNN making this sound more mysterious than it is. It was Yersinia pestis, the plague, the researcher died because she inhaled it into her lungs and developed pneumonic plague, there is no danger but to those directly exposed in the lab. Fear-mongering in the time of global terror is a sick choice.

So do we have a list of games media people that deleted their support of that Jacob Geller apologist article, only after they saw the backlash?

It honeslty just shows me how much rape culture exists. With James Somerton, we all collectively agreed he didn’t deserve a platform anymore, and he disappeared. I’m sure he’s got some job somewhere, living a life. But an admitted rapist, well, he we must forgive, because some of us liked his stuff.

It’s honestly really triggering for me that once again, in the aftermath of people finding out a man who is a beloved public figure committed sex crimes in his past, the conversation has to immediately shift into how and when the guy can return to the status quo he was in

I think it is evidence of how so much we have been made to think that gaining an audience is the goal of life in this attention-seeking economy that saying "a rapist shouldn't seek a public persona that is available for consumption" is taken as equivalent to saying they "can never rejoin society."

A lot of the comments are babying Geller for admitting to being a rapist. Wow he’s such a good boy that can admit his wrongdoings!!! He’s so clearly been working on himself. Yall love coddling up rapists and wonder why we live in a society that lets rapists get away with it

Loving South Park continually using ableist slurs, anti-trans humor, AI imagery and the continual idea that “small penis makes you less of a man” as humor that everyone loves. But they say “Trump bad” so it’s ok right?

i see arguments like this sometimes and ... what's the thing. what is this "everyday annoying task" that an AI could actually do and that you could trust it to not totally fuck up? i cannot imagine the things. and tech/robots have made a lot of tasks more efficient but there's always more shit
there are so many everyday demos that could make ai, personal agents, & agents in general feel insanely powerful to normal ppl & yet ai companies keep choosing things like booking flights, planning travel, or god forbid planning a god damn wedding.

these are not everyday problems. they're relatively rare events & worse for a lot of ppl they're actually part of the joys of life. the best demo should make someone feel pain they already are familiar with disappearing. almost every company gets this wrong. they optimize for spectacle instead of relief which is fine in some cases but it doesn't last.

one of my favorite historical examples is a product called head on.

the ad showed someone with a headache, then showed them applying the product directly to their forehead while repeating:

"head on. apply directly to the forehead."

beautifully simple. you instantly understood the product, the problem, & the value. ai companies should be doing the same thing.

show me the annoying thing i deal with every single day then make it disappear. it's not sexy, i guarantee it will work. when jobs demo'ed the iphone he picked universal simple problems that the iphone did better than anything else on the fucking planet.

anyway, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

funny to me that last year taylor lorenz was privately trying to suggest i was being funded by peter thiel after we got into an argument over her shitty takes, and now she’s literally running cover for him saying being evil is good. quite a journey she’s on.
Taylor Lorenz: "Listening to this whole interview and these comments in context you see he is actually making a pretty nuanced point. You can criticize him all u want but taking clips out of context to manufacture outrage is so lame— critique what he actually said!"

Michael Tracey is actively attempting to dox Jane Doe in the Cornell 7 rape case
Michael Tracey : If you happen to know who this Cornell "Jane Doe" is, get in touch and I would be happy to publish her name and identifying information. And yes -- this is 100% permitted under the First Amendment, whatever threats or emotional blackmail people might want to deploy"Report" me for what, exactly? Save your breath, scumbag. Sorry you hate the First Amendment so much. Her identity is obviously newsworthy at this point, and I will take extreme pleasure in reporting it. (Not "doxing" -- that's a total canard)

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.
The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.
