I mean, fuck the profitability. What about its massive toll on our already crumbling climate? What about its hallucinations that were told by the massively powerful companies (currently, anyway) to just not worry about? What about the promise of it “revolutionizing” industries (corporate speak for fucking workers in new and exciting ways), what about the paradigm solidifying nature of this tech that they keep lying to us about being a democratizing super tool?

Everything about this shit is trouble because of the world it was built into. This type of tech (even though most of its capabilities and uses are lies) in the hands of the people it’s in will only serve the rich and gobble up resources when we need to be scaling back our consumption. Instead, that endless investment is fueling our climate collapse.

Fuck this LLM bullshit. It’s not for us. It will only hurt us in this timeline.

It’s a great story, and one of my favorites—I’m still replaying it. But I think the best story ever told through a video game is RDR2. But those are my two favorite games, so you really can’t go wrong either way.

I don’t think that’s actually true. Have the metrics for what we consider poverty changed and adapted with inflation and the perfecting of corporate wealth hoarding? “Poverty” is an ambiguous term, and relative poverty is real. That doesn’t show in a standard-line “poverty” metric. What was considered “extreme poverty” is the lowest, but that’s people living on under $1.90/day. I couldn’t even find information on that metric being updated to reflect the current high inflation and profit-explosion landscape.

Also: if you technically pull people out of poverty by outsourcing to the lowest paying, least labor regulated parts of the world, is the fact that extreme poverty went away in those areas even a good thing?

Let the death of Saburo Arasaka be a lesson to us all: even 150+ year old bastards can get choked the fuck out

“It’s remote if you’re connected to this same tin can on a string.”

These surgeons were moving fast, I can see it

Everybody was limb-fu cutting (hiya!)

Those cats were fast as lightning (hiya!)

The article states he ate “four to five dried mushrooms.” That could be anywhere from like 2grams to probably 7 grams. A little over seven g is considered a “heroic” dose. It can fuck you up. I’ve done it, but thankfully didn’t lose what little dick I was given from birth

Waymo offering human remains delivery services should death occur on your journey

Is that still true? Like, as in, updated in the past year-to-the-last-few-months? War (even though they’re not calling it war) is rising in many places.

What’s the need for private launch capabilities? Private = capitalist. I don’t see much good in capitalist ventures.

Didn’t people’s lackluster interest in the first one and the pitiful sales numbers convey that we don’t really give a shit?

Dude, the casting in Dark absolutely blew my fuckin mind, choom. I don’t want to spoil the plot in the seasons after the first by telling people who haven’t seen it what I mean, but if you’ve seen it you know exactly what I mean.

Yes.

So you don’t think these massive megacompanies should be held responsible for making disinformation machines? Why not?

What. Is this something that’s been on the horizon?

If anyone sees a salamander, it’s Liz’s.

Yeah, another factor I didn’t even mention. The voluntary surveillance.
