I'm angry again. You can tell I'm angry because I'm rage-skeeting about the state of our country.
Feel free to mute me. I'm sure most of you have already.
Or unfollow. I truly don't care anymore.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.
What does OpenAI offer the world?

Hey guys I think the society we live in needs to be totally obliterated and a new one rebuilt.
OpenAI's Sora 2 is flooding social media with videos of women being strangled. Yet another example of generative AI companies failing to prevent users from creating media that violates their own policies against violent content.

I have a proposed modification to this rule: all opinion columnists should _have_ to spend 6 months of the year working in a real job; customer service, retail, a kitchen, construction, a classroom, etc.
Modest proposal: all opinion columnists should be made to live on an island called Dipshit Island. This is not carceral, they have total freedom of movement, but they have to maintain a residence there and it has to be in their author bio.

Zohran Mamdani quoting Mario Cuomo in his acceptance speech is nasty work and I love it. The Sicilian in me bows to his killer instinct.

I love how all of the right wing morons who think Mamdani would institute sharia law won’t acknowledge that sharia law is super right wing.

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.
