Instead of Elder Scrolls 6, it would have been cheaper and faster for Bethesda to build a 1:1 replica of Whiterun to charge nerds $200 to hang out there.

You know all those asteroids "close calls" they keep telling us about? If one was actually going to hit us, would the people in power be doing anything OTHER than what they're doing right now? Just grabbing up everything they can because fuck it, no consequences.

It’s kinda fucked up that Meta is bragging about giving every blind veteran a pair of Meta glasses when what they’re really doing is getting blind veterans to perform unpaid AI training.

This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."

What the hell even is this world where we get headlines like this? Imagine if in 1987 Peter Jennings had to say shit like "Teddy Ruxpin supports apartheid" or "Trapper Keeper found to have purposefully designed its rings to injure children and order to pay out $29 million".

It is SO blatantly obvious everything that’s happening is because both parties are owned almost entirely by AIPAC. They don’t actually believe in anything. They’re just in it for the money. They will fritter and fetterman away your whole country.

OK guys, I figured out OpenAI’s business plan. (We are currently on phase 2.)
Sam Altman: "I have no idea how we may one day generate revenue. We have made a soft promise to investors that once we've built this sort of generally intelligent system, basically, we will ask it to figure out a way to generate an investment return for you. It sounds like an episode of Silicon
Valley. It really does. I get it, you can laugh. It's all right. But it is what I actually believe is going to happen."

Romance scams are just redistribution of wealth. Sorry, but if nana isn’t sharp enough to know she isn’t actually e-dating Orlando Bloom, she shouldn’t have access to the family millions.
