Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 1hCan we stop pretending that the machine is going to kill us because it’s so smart and realize that it’ll actually be greedy capitalists who kill the planet and make it impossible to feed ourselves 250
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I think the existence of Joe Rogan reflects really poorly on stoners and I just want y’all to know that some of us smoke weed and read books 0284
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Ah yeah, I’m kind of an outsider. A bit of a radical. I come from a pretty unconventional background. And you guessed it I support the most lukewarm liberal policy you could imagine 081
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’ve never been one to use my horoscope to describe my actions because it feels very “if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best” Marilyn Monroe poster-coded 000
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Just more data to sell to advertisers so they can do things like send you an ad for detergent when you’re in the laundry room or something 110
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I used to want a robot vacuum until I watched this DefCon talk where a guy mentioned that they’re a sneaky way for the companies to map out your house’s floor plan 330
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 07/10/2026With denser populations, too. Can’t even blame minority rule, it’s just the love of the game 010
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Learned because of Trump’s comments that San Diego is blue now. Crazy cuz the last time I visited it was the land of crispy cokehead republicans 160

Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026they’re “not technical.” As if these are immutable traits we’re born with. A self-imposed limitation. Some number of employees would struggle through this and learn and grow in confidence. That doesn’t happen anymore. Everyone just pretends to know everything, or asks their LLM 040
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There’s always been a massive issue with people limiting what they’re capable of learning. Tech has a lot of people fresh out of school who don’t think they can learn anything outside of class. People at tech companies with “non-technical” positions would always be sure to let you know that 140
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Became passionate about learning and struggling into personal growth. Trained many junior members of my team to do the same. Now seemingly everyone’s a phony and can’t solve anything on their own. It fucking sucks 160
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I was just a kid who grew up here with a legit interest in computers and the internet. Self taught in everything I do. Turned a retail job into my first startup gig by having some friends with a solid opportunity and space for me. Learned how to tackle complex problems and grew in confidence 160
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I am gonna milk this 100% WFH job that doesn’t sell LLMs for as long as I’m able but I think the tech dream may be over for me 1100
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026What’s sad is a lot of the scam energy guys I disliked early in my career took jobs, but also dudes I genuinely respected who just had their brains broken by a massive salary + equity package and the prospect of an LLM doing their job for them 180
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The entirety of my career has been working at tech startups in the Bay Area. A lot of my old co-workers are going to work at AI Companies now. They’ve described the interview processes to me and it’s clear they aren’t being assessed for technical ability. They just wanna be sure you’ll bend the knee 1120
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah they fixed the glitch after Obama. Do you not remember what happened with Bernie Sanders? Never mind the fact that Obama turned out to be just as much of a Neolib as his contemporaries. 100
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Ok well when I use the word gentrifier I’m referring to the people who take on urban restoration projects with the intent of driving up costs. That is essentially what a gentrifier is, seeing as the people who move into gentrified communities are doing so because of said gentrification. 000
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026In the clip he is clearly framing it like homeless people pack up and move from conservative suburbs to cities and conveniently ignoring the capitalist forces that displace people at a much larger scale. Yes, issues tend to be intersectional. 000
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Cool, now how about the percentage of homeless people in cities who are from that city and got priced out of their community by gentrifiers? 210
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I listened to Pod Save America Trump’s entire first term like “hell ya these guys are the resistance” then Biden got elected and they started running cover for the fact that he wouldn’t be closing immigration detention facilities and I was like “oh shit I’m way more left wing than these losers” 1210
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026(Thank you for your service Molly I trust that your research could be less exhaustive and your podcast would still be great) 080
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026No I’m fucking not I did the thing you wanted me to do. I voted blue up and down ballot. Am I not allowed to be critical of the choices presented despite doin the thing that you think everyone should have done 240
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Just one more sleepless night and you’ll have exposed the entire white terror network trust me bro 1100
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Does it bring you joy to be so insufferably stupid and myopic all the time 130
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I voted for Harris like I was shamed into doing by people like you 130
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Really good strategy man yeah just insist anyone who disagrees with you didn’t vote the way you did 140
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yeah never mind the artificial selection that happens in the lead up to the primaries because Dem super PACs give all the campaign money to the candidate of their choice. Effectively drowning out the competition with ads and outreach campaigns 160
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Democrats are still mad about Kamala Harris because they fully intend to run her again in 2028 9444
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Why every AI generated image gotta use that same fuckass font 0120
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There are people who say he’s the greatest of all time. Not me, but some people say it 100
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This allows the most fucked up shit to continue happening, and it continues to prevent men from being fully trusted by women. Women know you’re full of shit when you project that you’ve always been a perfect ally to them 080
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026“Not all men” but really all men have silently learned that some behavior they thought was normal at some point in their life was not in fact normal. And because men are conditioned to hide their own vulnerability, they perpetuate a narrative that they’ve always been one of the good ones 1110
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I feel a lot of guilt and shame about those things and I will continue to atone for it by speaking up for what’s right but also being vulnerable in my own shortcomings 1140
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026So here’s my admission. I have learned a lot about my own actions in the past decade plus as we’ve reckoned with the fallout of patriarchal rape culture. I realized that, although I’ve never crossed the most egregious of lines, I’ve hurt women with my own shitty behavior too. 1150
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026You see a lot of men say “this upsets me as a good men and I will do everything in my power to stop the bad men” but you don’t see them say “this situation has made me realize some of the ways in which I haven’t been a very good man myself, and I vow to correct my own behavior moving forward” 2277
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026AI’s most popular use cases as a measure of things that people hate doing themselves: 1) making music - Few people hate doing this but they’re very vocal about it 2) making flyers - not hard but a lot of people can’t be bothered 3) developing software - wow people fucking HATE doing this 130
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Each track could have a 15 minute extended instrumental rave mix and you would be boppin all night 040
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Give Up by The Postal Service gets a lot of recognition for being a seminal early aughts indie album, but I’ve never heard anyone mention that if you were blissed out on Molly at a rave Dntel’s musical parts alone would be pure ecstasy 1110
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Most days it doesn’t bother me that no one gives a shit that I’m an artist, but there are days 030
Yo Gabapentin @yogabapentin.bsky.social · 30/09/2026In retrospect I am glad I spent all those years melting my ego with psychedelics and occasionally losing my shit. I am much less of a dick now 1121
