Why did Big Tech make all charging cables look like kitten toys? Are they stupid?

Someone needs to create a feed that collates @radiofreetom.bsky.social’s nightly argument with BlueSky into something I can scroll through without feeling like I’m in Memento.

To be fair, he did finish by saying, “we’re not going to let that happen,” so he’s suggesting that’s what would happen if we didnt keep fighting his stupid war, but I think he’s being intentionally vague because it riles people up. Such a child. At least the crowd didn’t cheer for it this time.

1st reaction: “What in the name of…” 2nd reaction: “Oh it’s The Onion.” 3rd reaction: *mild disappointment*

Look how much damage Trump has been able to cause simply because people STILL think he’s smart and capable and better than the alternative. That’s where AI is leading us, but as a species instead of as a country: right off a cliff like a bunch of lemmings.

You could make essentially the same observation about Trump: 1) Some voters ascribed way too much intelligence and business acumen to him because he was wealthy and famous. 2) People who knew better figured he’d never be elected and underestimated how much people really believed those things.

The real danger of LLMs, in my opinion, is twofold: 1) Users believe it’s more intelligent than it is, and put far too much faith/trust in it. 2) Critics think it’s “just a chatbot” and don’t realize how intelligent it can seem, and how much that amplifies the faith/trust issue.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

I have a 27” TV and never bothered getting anything bigger because either the kids were using it, or the shows I liked weren’t family-safe, so I end up using my devices. My kids are teens now. Although, sometimes we set up the projector for movies for a few weeks and I steal it for sports.

I said this partly because Kyler Murray was throwing for the Vikings and now I feel like I jinxed him. Hope he’s okay.

Way back when I worked at a photo lab for a large retail chain, we had this older guy who would come in all the time and not even buy anything, he’d just talk to the staff and tell us about all the girls at all the other retail outlets that “knew” and that he could “have.” Same vibe.

What Trump and his followers will say about the documents he released is that when they align with his claims, that is proof of his claims; when they don’t align with his claims, that is proof of a cover-up.

Yeah this took a while to show up on the earthquake app I use too (which probably gets its info from the USGS feed). We got the shake alert and we're just north of Sacramento, didn't feel a thing. Hopefully no major damage or injuries.
