What really ticks me off when talking about ai is when people are like "it's unavoidable" or "you'll have to learn to use it someday" or "its going to be part of the future" like no it's plenty avoidable actually if you have a spine stronger than a dandelion. You simply say "no" and continue to use your own goddamn brain.

being so staunchly anti generative ai while everyone around you is "i used chatgpt" and "i asked grok" and google search is useless and every company is implementing ai and every single celeb is taking ai money and partnering with ai is like... it's so jarring. why can't you see the harm like i can? why are you so lazy? why are we making society this stupid? can we please stop? it's killing people does that not matter to you?

Calling the discovery “too good to be true,” HGTV development executive Robert Courter reportedly moaned with pleasure Friday upon receiving word about triplets who flip, furnish, and sell houseboats in the Carolinas. “Sweet Jesus, look at the way they swing those big sledge hammers,” said Courter, who let out a soft whimper as he watched footage of the three sisters exchanging playful banter and barbs while arguing over which mosaic tiles to use for the kitchen backsplash.

Discussing his preparation for the role during a press junket for the Marvel film, Fantastic Four star Pedro Pascal told reporters Friday that he had spent months working with a trainer to be able to stretch his limbs up to 50 feet. “The moment I got the call that I was playing Mister Fantastic, I got in touch with my trainer and told him I had six months to be in the stretchiest shape of my life,” said Pascal, noting that his team created an intense regimen aimed at getting the star from a 5-foot, 11-inch wingspan to the 100-foot, 8-inch wingspan required to fill out his Mister Fantastic costume.

Please forgive me for ranting, but...I am so tired of AI. Just so tired. I don't want Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, or Meta AI, or whatever other energy-sucking, water-wasting, mediocrity-spewing LLM is currently being thrust upon me. I just want to be left alone to create in peace.

Re: the coldplay concert CEO affair thing. I’ve seen people being like “cheating is bad but so is filming strangers in public without their knowledge or consent” something I agree with in almost every circumstance but this wasn’t like someone taking their phone out to film the people standing next to them at the concert. They were on the kiss cam. I think it’s sort of different. Pretty much all concert venues have lots of signs being like. By entering this area you are consenting to being recorded. I think it’s slightly different. Also if we can’t laugh at the humiliation of the CEO of a big AI company what can we laugh at.

Following the expiration of the federal eviction moratorium intended to help tenants during the coronavirus pandemic, congressional leaders advised newly evicted Americans Monday to just relocate to their second homes. “As evictions ramp up all around the country, we urge anyone who has been forced out of their residence to take up refuge in their second vacation home,” said Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), explaining that in order to relieve overcrowding in homeless shelters, citizens should call up their chauffeur and immediately be escorted to their country estate via private jet or superyacht.
