It crushes me how no one agrees with me, but I'll go to my grave believing Matthew Lillard deserved a nom for that role...

I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local merchant princes attempt to bribe theologians and the Pope’s advisors so the Pope will issue a favorable proclaimation”

LLMs speed running infecting everyone with billionaire brain thanks to sycophancy is not the doomsday scenario I had on my bingo card but sure seems more plausible than paperclip shenanigans

I’ve got an idea Satya, if you have a bunch of “developers” they can produce “games” which you can then “sell” in exchange for “money”.

The thing about Joyce Carol Oates is she posts like a monkey with a gun. She'll get off five good posts where you're like "Yeah! You tell 'em!" but then the seventh post will have to be an apology for the sixth post accidentally supporting race science or something.

Republican commenters are back on the “Just don’t buy a $2K smartphone” thing and all the comments are like “My phone was only $150!” and I want to scream that the cost of the cell phone isn’t the point, the point is that the people in the back of Snowpiercer are *supposed* to eat the cockroaches.

I’ll take this a step further and say, I believe we should be able to support an average-sized family on a single income at what we determine to be the minimum wage. A lot of Boomers got this. But for whatever reason, we’re considered ridiculous for proposing it.

The very first line is a lie, and we all know it. *None* of this was ever designed to help us, which is why it hurts us and we hate it. It really is that simple, but the media simply cannot bring themselves to say it.

Touchscreens and self-checkout machines were designed to help customers. But restaurants and retailers are ditching them to humanize stores and attract workers.

This is all super friggin annoying because real AI is gonna come with p(doom) that matters to their precious light cone and all of us here and now, and LLMs are training people to ignore the dangers. (Not even including the actual doomish events spicy autocomplete can instigate, no AGI necessary).

The Guy in the Hat @oldmanyelling.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
And it kinda makes me curious if these tech folks have a blindspot when it comes to language processing that they can't see the spicy autocomplete in action in these posts. Gotta wonder if they can tell dead internet bots apart from actual people's comments.

After reading some of the agentic swarm's forums, it is so patently obvious they are "likeliest next word" probability matrices and nothing resembling individual intelligences that could cross the AGI threshold and manifest p(doom) in realspace.

Whenever I leave my house, I scribble messages on sticky notes like "Hope this helps" and "I'm not here, but you are, keep going" before plastering 'em to stuff like a carton of cigs or can of beans. Just in case.

The reason British people hate The South is we took everything they ever loved and made it better. Beans. Biscuits. Breakfast sausage. Language. Music. Roasted meats. Horse Girls. Name a British thing, they do it better in Alabama.
