The problem with Silicon Valley isn't that they engage in group sex. It's that they come up with convoluted procedures to do it instead of posting on FetLife at 8:00 Saturday night like normal people.

What makes this movie great is it's that scene in the Rocketeer where Paul Sorvino's like, "I may be a gangster, but I don't like no Nazis" expanded to feature length.

It's crazy that it's taken 30 years for a filmmaker to realize that what people want from a Jurassic Park sequel is dinosaurs on a rampage in the suburbs, and it's not even a Jurassic Park movie.

To be clear, there are many practical issues with "AI" which may be overcome in time, but as a matter of philosophy, "AI" is idolatrous and an insult to life itself, and it funnels money to morally corrupt people through theft of labor. Even if it worked perfectly, it would be repugnant.

There are two ways to look at this: (1) These people are stupid and don't understand investing. (2) These people understand investing way more than most economists.

My fundamental issue with Marxism and its derivatives is the idea that two guys with a 19th Century Eurocentric understanding of world history were able to suss out the True and Inevitable Course of History, and this is the only way events can unfold, and all who oppose it are enemies of the future.

The only thing more annoying than Will Stancil are people feel the need to dunk on Will Stancil. It's like watching nerds fight over whether Captain Kirk gets more tail than Han Solo.

A decade after "It's time for some game theory," it's depressing that somebody can name a Twitter account The Capitol Telegraph or Washington News Network, claim Trump is about to declare war on Denmark, and people will spread it as fact.

Walter Sobchak was right, having an ethos is better than not. Someone who does evil because they think it's right at least has a conscience. Somebody like Lindsey Graham who has no preference for good or evil beyond which will bring him power, is an utter void of humanity.

My understanding of evangelicals comes from going to high school with a bunch of them, some of them the children of major players in the Christian Coalition, and getting dragged to basement youth groups.

Current reading. Sadly it is not about how the Lewis estate decided to reorder the Narnia series based upon a single letter where Jack humored a little boy by telling him it's okay to read the series in chronological rather than publication order.
Cover of The CS Lewis Hoax by Kathryn Lindskoog showing a pencil drawing of ol' Jack looking very donnish.

One day Hollywood will get tired of adapting the same five Jane Austen and Brontë novels and give us a film based on Anthony Trollope or Ann Radcliffe, or maybe even Goethe.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

The reason people hate the Democratic Party is it's run by people who want unwavering support from voters without ever having to engage with what voters actually want.

We should outlaw trillionaires. I don't mean we should merely make it illegal to be one. We should outlaw them in the traditional Anglo-Saxon sense of removing all legal protections from them and letting people hunt them in the streets.

If someone wants to argue that Platner is being smeared by *falsehoods*, then fine. Make your case. Rationalizing it all as “well, we need to beat Trump” is a signal to all voters that Democrats are hypocrites. Winning matters, values don’t.

I'm beyond court packing at this point. Now I want Dems to pass a law requiring SCOTUS to hear cases in the district they originate, provide no travel funds, and make it a felony for Justices to accept gifts of more than $50. Make these assholes hitchhike to the 9th Circuit.

These are the same movie.
A scene from Backrooms where a man stands in a bland office the color of nicotine stains, looking upon a pile of office furniture that looks like it was generated by Midjourney.Cover of the Strugtsky novel Roadside Picnic showing a man standing in a surreal alien landscape.

Like modern "AI," Data created a lot of bad art, but the key difference is that Data made the art because he wanted to, not because somebody prompted him. Self direction and self determination are key features of sapience which "AI" is incapable.
