There are 2 Hasan Pikers: Twitch Hasan and Public Speaking Hasan. The latter is measured and thoughtful, while the former is an absolute goblin with no regard for decency (not an insult, just an analysis of his tenacity in getting ahead of his better judgment due to the demands of the medium)

Not unlike 9/11 the western world was overwhelmingly on Israel’s side on October 8, but now it’s been three years of being browbeaten about how not only is everything they do ontologically justified in their fight for survival, you can’t say certain words or wear certain clothing or eat certain food

If the Dems had any spine, they would be running ads about how Trump let down men targeted to those manosphere circles and watch them leave in droves. To be clear, I don't want their votes, but I want them at least demoralised.

I like the concept of fold phones in general. I'm always lugging around my tablet for reading, so it would be nice to have something convertible in a single device. Sure, they are expensive, but that doesn't mean the idea is bad.

OpenAI is seeing open-source models doing better in terms of hallucination rates, user control, and prices. They need to spin this narrative to justify their current operations and possibly, if my hunch is correct, lobby to ban any non-frontier model.

Jarz @jarz.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

You're already seeing this play out with OpenAI offering the US govt stake in the company. Again, with Altman's talks about turning AI inference into a utility. They are trying to position themselves as the only ones with market control, despite others having better offers in both price and quality.

Jarz @jarz.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Aside from pumping stocks, they're trying to make AI look as dangerous as possible so they can pitch themselves as the one company with the expertise to control it, not China or Anthropic. Prediction: They'll lobby for favourable regulations that benefit their market share & outlaw competitors.

Even if it could, the second I found an ad was generated via AI, I would distrust the company immediately. How should I know this is a real thing and looks like what the photo or video shows? No one with sense would trust a restaurant that can't take pictures of its own food.

Having been a Bill Maher fan in my edgy teen atheist phase, my assessment is: He's too smug to be a republican because he'd have to tolerate the religious and the "redneck" crowd. But his attitude has aligned with the right. His incuriosity & inability to learn are now catching up with him.

Frankly, so much of it is the honour system. They somewhat assume that if you're an author from a uni (in the Dutch system at least), your academic supervisor did the heavy lifting. But not even the supervisors have the time to check each citation and whether it conforms to claims made. It's a mess.

Primaries are difficult to poll, and (personal theory here), since these were open primaries, Republican voters were trying to ratfuck further left candidates, which I don't think polling methods can account for.

I agree, but I always thought of it as him using it the way cyberpunk protagonists tend to use hacking and all the tech around. Like, it's not good that it exists, but when you can use it to save lives as someone not officially affiliated with the surveillance state, maybe it's ok. Maybe I'm coping.

Manosphere grifters have figured out that some men are easily manipulated by making them feel insecure about their masculinity. The GOP has turned this sales pitch into both an ideology and a campaign strategy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Any man who goes online today is apt to come across content telling him that he will never find a partner who will earn him the respect of other men if he lacks money and connections, if he is not bodybuilder-fit with a full head of hair, if he is not more than six feet tall. Online influencers who push this narrative have products to sell. They want you to buy their workout apps, their advice sessions, their investment plans. That’s just how a lot of advertising works: It makes you insecure so you’ll pay for a product in hopes of temporarily silencing your gnawing sense of inadequacy.

Just as the manosphere and its galaxy of hucksters want you to fork over your cash so you can feel better about yourself as a man, Republicans want to make you feel insecure about your masculinity so that you vote Republican. Masculinity, in this sense, is a lifestyle product: one that comes with a set of political beliefs predicated on the subjugation of women, minority groups, and anyone else who men are told are their inferiors.

I like that he makes the shots accessible to other formats. As for what they add? Seeing them in the larger format adds scale, which is what the format is best for. Maybe it's gimmicky, but that's fine. It would be worse if it was incomprehensible on other screens, I say.

Jarz @jarz.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

It's an audio-visual medium to me. I don't mind his lack of interest in dialogue. It doesn't take me out of the movies. But the bland relationships are an issue, particularly in a story like Dune, where palace intrigue is a major factor.

Jarz @jarz.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Sometimes an artist picks the tools that inspire them the most. Frankly, I think his style got a lot better since he chose IMAX. A lot of his movies from before have very "meh" cinematography. At least with the IMAX stuff, he's forced to pay more attention to the framing and it shows in parts.

100

Jarz @jarz.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Villaneuve is bad at dialogue and love interests, in general. If I had to pick at Arrival, it would be the Adams and Renner relationship. They make it work through acting, but boy, are they bland together. Same with Paul and Chani in Dune. He's openly stated he thinks dialogue is less important.

Jarz @jarz.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Well, that's the trouble with IMAX cameras. You have to change reels every minute or two, if I'm not mistaken. It's even lower with 70mm. Although I think he makes it work, because faster cutting creates urgency and he's often interweaving flashbacks and so on.
