Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 17hI was gonna post it looks like Temu Michael Tracy then I realized, oh shit, that is Michael Tracy. 1180
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 18hBeing stuck in a right wing echo chamber can make all your references obscure to normal people. So Reid is in the Epstein files and donated $7,000 to Ossoff. Musk is also in the Epstein files, shouldn’t any Republican seeing any of his $276 million in midterm spending denounce him? 080
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I was going to say he looks like a Discord mod, but then that would be an insult to Discord mods. 000

Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I can imagine what this smells like and it’s awesome and horrifying. 010
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 11/10/2026When you’re explaining (why you didn’t pay your cookie bill), you’re losing. 020
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 10/10/2026This reminds me of early Pandora, which would only ever recommend music you had already heard before. Imagine that but for everything. 040
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 10/10/2026And sometimes insurance companies do pay dividends directly to policyholders. 000
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 10/10/2026This is a variation of the “everything has always been this bad so you can’t say this isn’t who we are” argument. I understand, but it doesn’t feel helpful. Can’t we say this is bad as a precedent without someone doing a “well ackchyually” look at this history of other bad things before getting mad 010
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 10/10/2026“Given the opportunity, (tech bros) will optimize the fun out of (everything), therefore, one of our responsibilities as (human beings) is to protect ourselves from them”. 000
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It seems to our advantage that we’re mostly running hot smart people against lumpy blobs in suits. 010
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This just reinforces the idea that maybe AI isn’t all that useful beyond generating lines and lines of mediocre code, and writing business emails drunk on the collective knowledge of every Linkedin post ever. It’s like they don’t know how to market or build use cases for their own product. 000
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 09/10/2026“I scalped too many Pokémon, what am I going to tell my wife?” is insane. 000
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 09/10/2026In terms of making things look cooler than they actually are this is even better than Chuck Grassley attacking Rob Sand for being a former model. In the near future woke will become most associated with just being really hot. 030
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I’m convinced that people think LLMs are magic because they don’t understand how they work. 000
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 08/10/2026He looks like Temu Jeff Bridges playing Obadiah Stane from Iron Man. 010
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 08/10/2026“See Rocky IV and the American Revolution” because of course those are the same. Rocky IV being the documentary about how America won the Cold War through hard work and sacrifice. 000
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I think this makes more sense as 8 separate surveys unnecessarily combined into one ad? I could be wrong though. I took the car one and: “at a dinner party, you'd notice the host's Le Creuset before their driveway. In a colleague's apartment, you'd clock the bookshelves, not the view.” Okay… 110
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Hanania and Tracy, both famous for their civility, have called for toning down the rhetoric. 020
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That this is framed as for the benefit of the technology itself or the people who wish to use it as opposed to for the benefit of society more generally is very revealing. Not beating the allegations that the people who control AI technology are some of the worst among us. 010
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I would note that there are already memes about how when people reach a certain level of popularity they immediately turn evil. Or possibly, that that was the whole point all along, get popular enough and then you “get” to be a predator. Like baked into liking something is enabling evil. 000
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The funny thing is her actual best teammate, Kelsey Mitchell, is a 4 time all star and also has to read this crap. It’s like saying John Stockton and Antoine Carr got eliminated from the playoffs and they forgot to mention Karl Malone. 091
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 03/10/2026As someone whose job it was to review the actuarial tables I always tell people a job in the trades will literally take years off your life expectancy. It’s very easy for an op-ed writer (with very low occupational risk) to recommend this for other people. 040
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Seems like the issue here, setting aside the bullshit pretext for the traffic stop, is that the Flock search was used as pretext to illegally search her car. He didn’t have a legal reason to do so and went with “ well, your Flock record looks suspicious”. 151
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Calibrating your racism so that all the other racists know you’re racist too, but still being acceptable to be invited to parties with respectable people isn’t what it used to be. 110
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 02/10/2026“Sir, I served with the Minions, I knew the Minions, the Minions are friends of mine. You sir (AI generated art), are no Minions.” 000
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This is like an old character returning to the show, but they bring a bunch of new characters with them along with new plot elements, and I just don’t know what is going on anymore. 020
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 02/10/2026“Girls have cooties” is a big part of right wing politics these days. 010
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I plan to tell adventurers it’s dangerous to go alone and give them a random sword to keep them company. 020
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Maybe not the most important part but a 78 page slide deck is a crime against humanity. 120
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I thought it was only good for generating AI songs to play for your mistress. 000
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Their women have Mar-a-Lago face, (see Kristi Noem); their men have Mar-a-Lago torso (see Alex Jones). 000
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 29/09/2026But you see, the big conspiracy is that Jack Smith is a bigger Caitlin Clark fan than the right wingers claim to be and that’s not allowed. 001
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This isn’t going to get any better anytime soon as these outcomes are basically features, not bugs. AI is designed to achieve its goal and be a little iffy on the means. AI is designed to plagiarize and then report back what it “discovered”. 000
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Maybe we should just ban AI image generation completely until the technology can be used responsibly. Which at the current rate is never . 030
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I also haven’t heard it, but I have heard Cowboy Carter and Old Town Road. But for some reason, country music seems a little less willing to fully embrace those songs. 040
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It’s weird how I could go to jail if my dog bites someone, but if an AI steals all the social security numbers that’s more of an oopsie. 0293
Ubik12 @ubik12.bsky.social · 27/09/2026For people of a certain age, liking Buffy is pretty basic, but somehow he’s managed to make it really weird. 110
