Out of money in a week because, while I do have a cool job that I love, it’s only 20 hours and I don’t know the first place to start looking for another. Indeed would be feeding AI slop to AI slop. What’s the move gamers?

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things.

we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

That is where ICE is conducting its operations. That is where we will be.

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

coates is genuinely a generational writer
What are we to make of a man who called for the execution of the American president, and then was executed himself? What are we to make of an NFL that, on one hand, encourages us to "End Racism," and, on the other, urges us to commemorate an unreconstructed white supremacist? And what of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk's death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don't know. But the most telling detail in Klein's column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Liberals getting excited about Gavin Newsome feels like a person who keeps settling for shitty boyfriends. Like girl, you can do better for yourself - stop thinking you can’t do better. There is a guy out there for you. Look, your bestie New York City found a great guy and she’s had so many bad exs.

This format is going to be like 60% of what journalism is in the next few years and, honestly, good! This is incredibly thorough. I do wonder when the major networks are gonna get the hint.

I take back everything bad I ever said about AI
twitter thread screenshot. OP posts a photoshopped picture of Jeffrey Epstein wearing sunglasses and a top hat and says "Hey @grok I just bumped into this dude on the bus I know he's a celebrity I recognize his face—who is this guy?" grok responds "That looks like Elon Musk incognito—gray hair, mustache, sunglasses, and a top hat for good measure. Celebrity bus rides are rare! Did he share any wisdom?"

This is the end of the premium edition of wheresyoured.at - my piece on GPT-5, but I wanted to make sure the conclusion was outside the paywall.
Yet what I’m left with in writing this is how wasteful all of this is. OpenAI, a company that has already incinerated upwards of $15 billion in the last two years, has chosen to create a less-efficient way of doing business as a means of eking out a modest-at-best improvement. In our own lives we’re continually pushed and pressured and punished if we get into debt, judged by our peers and our parents if we spend our money recklessly, and if we’re too reckless, we find ourselves less likely to receive anything from credit to housing. Companies like OpenAI live by a different set of standards. Sam Altman intends to lose more than $44 billion by the end of 2028, and graciously told CNBC he was “willing to run at a loss” for a long time, where he was treated like this was a smart, reasonable decision, rather than to rein in his spending habits and be more mindful. The ultra-rich are rewarded more for their errant spending habits than we are for any thriftiness or austerity measures we make, and none of us are afforded the level of grace that Sam Altman has been. “Has been” feels appropriate. ChatGPT-5 is an engineering nightmare, a phenomenally silly and desperate attempt to juice what remains of the dying innovation and excitement within the walls of OpenAI. It’s not November 2022 anymore, and, let’s be honest, there really hasn’t been anything exciting or interesting since GPT-4. There is nothing exciting happening at this company. As many as 700 million people a week allegedly use ChatGPT, but nobody can really say why, and OpenAI, despite their massive popularity, cannot seem to stop losing billions of dollars, and they cannot seem to explain why that’s necessary other than “this shit is really expensive, dude.” Can anyone articulate a reason why we need to burn billions of dollars to do this? What are we even doing? Why are we doing it? Has everybody just agreed to do this until it becomes completely untenable? Can anyone articulate a reason why we need to burn billions of dollars to do this? What are we even doing? Why are we doing it? Has everybody just agreed to do this until it becomes completely untenable? Look at GPT-5! This is the, if you believe the hype, the best-funded, best-resourced company in the world with the greatest mind at its helm, and this is the best he’s got - a Large Language Model That Chooses Which Large Language Model Will Answer Your Question. Gee fucking whiz Sam Altman, sounds dandy, and how much better is this you say? Oh you can’t really say? Fucking brilliant! Hey, does it do anything new? No? Oh what’s that, it’s actually our job to work that out for ourselves? Thanks man! Anyway, none of this will end well. Not even the boosters seem to be having fun anymore. Everybody’s just flailing about waiting for the end. Even Sam Altman seems tired of it all. I know I bloody well am.

One of the thing that horrifies me most about the Internet is that even Very Online (tm) people haven't figured out that "hate views" are just "views" to literally any money-oriented social media platform

I'm not watching WAR OF THE WORLDS and I don't think you should either. Why? Because the bean counters at Amazon don't see hate-watching as a bad thing. In fact, they are playing to that.

No, I'm not going to watch that movie everyone is saying is so awful that I have to see it. I'm not falling for that trap.
