The people I agree with politically, are making it REALLY DIFFICULT to have reasonable and respectful conversations with the people I disagree with, and that... that's pretty much what's going on with the states right now.

Getting really tired of my massively expensive health care company sending me ads for already-free apps in place of actual mental or physical healthcare. No, I don't want to meditate with the "Calm" app or talk to an #AI therapist to help me get over the death of a loved one.

Does anyone else judge people who refer to multiplication by saying "times it by" instead of "multiply it by"? To me, saying "times it by three" is like saying "plus it by three" instead of "add three" - which, I hope we can all agree, would be absurd.

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed. There was a shimmer - a demon appeared. "Curious. What ritual is this?" "I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!" "I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

#TIL that if I become mayor of a town, I'm allowed to just set the time zone to whatever the hell I want. I need to become mayor. I NEED to have a time zone that constantly flips like GMT+10 and GMT-63.5, and then it's GMT-8:03:11:40, then on Thursdays it's GMT+2π.

Correction - this is so fucking hilarious that I'm now selling the handbook third edition on audible. It's like four bucks, and the Kindle edition addon is only two more. So the Kindle version is $6 instead of $10 if you're enough of a madlad to buy the audiobook version. handbook.snc.guru

Federal Reserve Chair Powell is right. Americans are SO DUMB. We don't even know that everything is actually great and we're all doing fine. He's doing a great job of making sure that we're all doing fantastic and should actually shut up.

If my employer at any point required me to return to the office, I would have badged in, and literally just stood at the entrance 2 ft. in front of the turnstiles for 8 hours then gone home. You will never get me to work in an office, motherfuckers. Never.

ChatGPT ad shows generative AI is totally washed. Impossible to tell what it was the first half until it started saying random prompts like "write me a business plan." Two years in and they don't have a better sales pitch than "summarise this article for me." Washed!

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks. www.ft.com/content/a0df...

OpenAI says it has evidence China’s DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
White House AI tsar David Sacks raises possibility of alleged intellectual property theft

OpenAI says it has found evidence that Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek used the US company’s proprietary models to train its own open-source competitor, as concerns grow over a potential breach of intellectual property.
The San-Francisco-based ChatGPT maker told the Financial Times it had seen some evidence of ‘distillation’, a technique used by developers to obtain better performance on smaller models by using outputs from larger, more capable models. This allows them to achieve similar results on specific tasks at a much lower cost.
OpenAI declined to comment further on details of its evidence. Its terms of service state users cannot “copy” any of its services or “use output to develop models that compete with OpenAI”.

There's a serial killer stalking around the streets of America. In every state, in every city, in every home. This killer can strike at anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is safe. Everyone knows who the killer is, and we all watch him commit these murders; yet we do nothing...
