the framing of generative ai as "theft" in popular discourse has really set us back so far like not only should we not consider copyright infringement theft we shouldn't even consider generative ai copyright infringement

For the last like 2000 years you could get pussy just by being a guy. Now with divorce and the pill and women having jobs and bank accounts and shit, things have changed. If youre a dude and you want pussy you actually have to ask nicely. This will lead to the collapse of several nation states.

My plan to create a perfectly flat and level Kansas by moving 5,501 cubic miles of earth from west to east. It’s the ideal Kansas. Still some details to work out about rivers, roads, etc. Watch out for the 900-foot cliff bisecting Kansas City.

So, the Boomers are starting to get very old, and we're starting to see articles about how these old people should stop driving but refuse to.

And y'know, I've seen this one before. About 20 years ago, when the "Greatest Generation" was too old to safely drive anymore, we had the exact same conversation. It was a running joke on Fark about how often octogenarians were accidentally ramming through farmer's markets and store fronts. "Another senior, same mistake, doo-dah, doo-dah! Accelerate instead of brake, oh the doo-dah day!"

What was done about it? Well, mostly some handwringing, some talk of maybe imposing mandatory driver's tests for people past a certain age, and so on.

Absolutely nobody seemed to promote actually solving the problem: Our car-dependent society. Americans drive cars until they drop dead because they really don't have a choice. So we just sorta agreed to kick the can down the road.

And here it is again.

Its like. It's it's really something that the richest man in the world desires internet clout more than anything. Like he wants specifically the kind of clout you get on reddit or 4chan by being a poster like he wants to be a high tier Video Gamer he wants the specific kind of respect you get from being a competitive smash player who posts really good online. But he's just not good. At any of these things . And it's really something. That he has more money than god. But he can't be happy because he can't get a genuine laugh out of the twitch chat.
