Rudolph Moncrieff @rudolph14.bsky.social · 17hJust finished a bball match against a team that felt like it was full of Bill Laimbeers. Imagine these grown men looking at a scumbag like Laimbeer and thinking to themselves "That's my guy. That's who I'm going to play like when I step onto the court". What are they like at home I always wonder. 000
Rudolph Moncrieff @rudolph14.bsky.social · 17hWhat's incredible about the current AI news cycle is how it's being dominated by the most deluded takes possible. You'd think journalists - whose jobs are being threatened by AI - would do a better at platforming more reasonable and accurate perspectives.

Rudolph Moncrieff @rudolph14.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This speaks to their really incredible levels of entitlement. They really see themselves as historic figures, giants of technology and intellectualism, prophetic saviours who should be telling us all how to run our lives, our systems, our world.

Rudolph Moncrieff @rudolph14.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Reform in all but name. The depiction of the small boats is on the same level as Farage's infamous invasion poster.

Rudolph Moncrieff @rudolph14.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Some business models need to be heavily regulated & even made illegal (beyond the already illegal ponzi/pyramid/MLM schemes). For example, price gouging, & this shit right here. A media outlet running at a loss on this scale isn't a media outlet. It's a nefarious propaganda tool & bad for society. 000
