At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.

Eventually you are going to find enough antisemites "on the left" to make the genocide ok. Just one more group of antisemites "on the left" and you don't have to feel bad anymore.

If you want something perfectly tailored 1:1 to your own taste meant solely for you to experience alone you can already do that just by sitting there and thinking about it buddy. Skip the middleman step of the computer. It’s just going to put it back in your brain anyway. orbooks.com/catalog/we-h...
The point of all of this
The most illiterate fascists alive were gassing
themselves up because the computer had gotten some
small degree better at producing dog shit that had the
general production values of a circa 2004 video game
cutscene. Delighting in the approach of a spiritually
and culturally dead future devoid of art and meaning.
You do have to admit that a new Narcos season
starring Brad Pitt and Mr. Beast and Jason Kelce
sounds pretty sick though.
There’s only one flaw I can see in this supposed
AI-generated future of seven fingered bikini babes
with death behind their eyes and photorealistic Family
Guy pornos: I don’t understand where they think their
personalized sense of aesthetics they plan to input
into the computer is going to come from down the
line when all human artists have been driven out of
business. If you want something perfectly tailored 1:1
to your own taste meant solely for you to experience
alone you can already do that just by sitting there and
thinking about it buddy. Skip the middleman step of
the computer. It’s just going to put it back in your
brain anyway.
It’s like puking food up just to eat it again.
Imagine a dog.
Fewer paws than that. A real dog.
Like my books or don’t not my problem but I
cannot tell you how many hours every day for a year
118
or more I spend for example moving the word “that”
around in a sentence over and over again trying to
land the perfect percussion of it. Is this inefficient?
Yes! It is also the whole point of it.
The drums have to be tuned
This probably applies to all of you. People
in possession of human souls who have at least on
occasion felt the divine in a work of art. Everything
I write myself and everything I love to read or listen
to or watch has one bedrock component to it which
is this:
Jesus Christ I am alive right now and you are alive
right now and someday we will not be but for the
duration of this we are both stupidly and beautifully
alive.
Please bear witness to my humanity and take some
…

Your gentle reminder that the selection at @bookshop.org is just as good as at Amazon, and that using them doesn’t enrich someone who’s never missed an opportunity to fall on his knees and kiss an authoritarian’s jackboots. Seriously, what’s the point of “fuck you” money if you’re this servile?

"the AI agent can make restaurant reservations" is a really weird use case I always see pop up in writing about the personal assistant programs because this is something already very easily solved by "a website". why does it need to call anyone. all the restaurants are already on the website

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...
