we fucking loved it, even when there was basically nothing on it, and let me tell you something else: we loved it because of human connection, human diversity, human creativity. WE DON'T NEED A SINGLE THING ANY OF THESE COMEMIERDAS HAVE MADE AND TRIED TO SELL US IN ORDER TO HAVE A GREAT INTERNET.

back in the pre-marriage equality era I once heard a close friend from church earnestly say to someone “I just can’t understand why gay people want to DESTROY my marriage by redefining the meaning of it” I’ll remember the way she said the word “destroy” until the day I die, because she meant it

Imagine how fucking rotted a person's brain has to be to submit a 50,000 line pull request and not perceive that what you are doing is *incredibly* embarrassing and antisocial. A vibecoder can no longer notice they're greeting people by spraying hot dogshit all over the place.

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

While Millennials and Gen Z blame each other for ruining society, the same monsters that have been ruining society since before we were all born are laughing their asses off. Generational divides are made up, and that’s fine until they’re weaponized to keep us fighting over complete bullshit.

We're in here quibbling about community standards regarding the #nsfw tag while major online advertising networks are out there defining all depictions of fat people regardless of context as "adult content" because their clients don't want their products displayed next to a fat person.

If you're only familiar with the franchise via its surviving legacy of holiday specials and Snoopy merch, it may not be apparent to you how many strips were just Charlie Brown saying something that would get an adult red-flagged for potential suicidal ideation, and, like, that was the joke.

In spite of being of the correct generation to have grown up while "Peanuts" was still in active publication, it's always a little surreal to be reminded that the most popular comic strip in the English-speaking world for fifty solid years was about an eight-year-old with clinical depression.

Rod Serling was a king. WWII paratrooper in “The Death Squad,” TV pioneer, LOUD critic of McCarthyism who knew his status as a war hero put him in a privileged position to call shit out. Wrote critiques of racism into his scripts, created The Twilight Zone to escape the censorship that brought on.

If you read the presentation (gamebiz.jp/news/433531) this has very little to do with "AI" - it's stuff like if there are 100 widgets onscreen you can draw them all by stamping them out rather than having 100 full instances, which is an optimization technique that's like 40 years old.

I guarantee you AI won’t kill us all. The claim’s a projection of reckless rich buffoons who can’t wait to be the only humans alive, openly fantasizing about a cull. Again. I’ve never been scared of AI, but the megalomaniacs forcing it on us are terrifying. I can’t guarantee they won’t kill us all.

Also, watch Duck Soup. It's 93 years old and it's still the best anti-war satire ever made. It's arch and FURIOUS and wise...it came out 10 months after Hitler came to power and Mussolini took it so personally he banned it in Italy.

The thundering lack of awareness. My gob, it is smacked.
Engaged in a flirtatious conversation at a bar in Manhattan, 23-year-old Gary stood with a Guinness in hand as he explained to a woman why he took an engineering job at Palantir, the data analytics company cofounded by Alex Karp and Peter Thiel. Raking in a $250,000 salary would allow him to help pay off his parents’ mounting medical bills, he explained.
Gary wasn’t met with sympathy. Medical debt, the woman told him, was “not an excuse to work somewhere like that.” She was referring, of course, to Palantir’s controversial work with governments, including the US and Israel, which use the company’s surveillance tools for law enforcement and military operations.Gary has resorted to saying he works in AI. “Even that gets some pretty bad responses sometimes,” he says. His Hinge profile doesn’t mention his employer. And sometimes he makes up stories out of thin air to justify working for Palantir—like that line about the medical debt. His parents don’t have any, nor are they ill.

Put into perspective, that would mean the total value of all the "AI" GPUs sitting in storage and likely never to be used to is almost three times as much revenue as Nvidia earned between 2010 and 2020 (around $70 billion). Y'know. Back when we could still afford a gaming card to play Skyrim.

They don't understand art because they believe it is beneath them, why do a thing when the computer can do the thing faster and better? And because they don't care about art, they don't seem to be able to see the flaws in the AI generated output because it looks higher definition and thus better.

The cast of characters dates this photo to 1975, just before The Muppet Show was an actual series. Characters from the Valentine and "Sex and Violence" pilots are present. Nigel is still in that form. Gonzo and Miss Piggy aren't quite themselves yet. There is no Fozzie.
