I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by LLM madness, mindless hysterical sloppers,
dragging themselves through enshittified apps at dawn looking for an "efficiency" fix,
vapid-headed techbros burning down the ancient heavenly connection to the cognitive skills they outsourced

I do firmly believe that refusing to outsource your basic cognitive functions to LLMs right now - as so many are stumbling over themselves to do right now, like hogs trotting to a pile of slop that’s been set up inside of a butcher’s delivery truck - will very much pay off in a few years.

The Wall Street Journal embarrasses itself with ledes like this: "Elon Musk’s SpaceX has agreed to invest $2 billion in his artificial-intelligence company xAI..."
Musk controls both companies. He agreed with himself. It's self-dealing and it's sleazy.
Do better, WSJ, please...

How corrupt is the Roberts court? It is inconceivable that the spate of more-power-for-Trump decisions from the Roberts court would have gone the same way if Harris was president.
We all know what's going on. The extreme right owns the government. It is dismantling democracy and the rule of law.

I don't know whether the Trump-Musk feud is real or just an elaborate con. What is clear is that both of them are sociopaths who lie relentlessly, have total contempt for laws they find inconvenient, and view the rest of us with pure contempt. If they harm each other, that's a win for humanity.

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

That’s the chief on the left but the other two are the only two women in a leadership team of a dozen.

Pretending the entire LAFD “leadership team” is all female is just an obvious lie.

The people that supposedly care about women's rights when it comes to trans people openly mock women for their appearance when they're in positions of power.
These are the people that actually hate women.
