We have the technology.

It can literally just power itself up during the day while it’s outside.

Imagine the ambient light this would provide in the city.

Imagine what it would look like if we did this in cool 80s neons.

If all you can do is blame the prior administration for the mistakes made before you took power instead of simply taking responsibility for the actions you can take in Power now to fix things, then you’re a weak leader and you shouldn’t be in power. You’re just too underqualified. Leaders? Janitors.

Yes, I’m Tsundere.

If you’re getting the cold part of me, it’s because you didn’t treat me with enough respect to earn the warmth.

What kind of person do you have to be where you can literally be a trillionaire and women will still pass you up so hard that you have to make your AI Glaze you because no other human women will?

Capitalism wouldn’t allow people to not have jobs, even if we achieve AGI.

Most VC’s I speak with view AGI as the potential for legal slavery; they want a source of cheap, expendable labor that isn’t burdened with rights that would conflict with their desires.

Wake up. AGI won’t save humanity.

I bought a cheesecake by mistake (lol).

Now the algorithm will hunt me with the temptation to add one to my cart because it’s something I’ve bought before, even if it’s against my economic or health goals (Not lol)

We are now all very Hunted by the machine, a machine that just wants to bring joy.

How do you authentically network when every time you see a person claiming to be a recruiter you go into task compression because you’re worried that they are not who they claim to be?

Modern luxury is the ability to think clearly, sleep deeply, move slowly & live quietly in a world designed to prevent all four.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

I like that I can make a short 10 second video like this, but I find myself wanting to create screenplays and not being able to because the technology doesn’t exist.

Imagine what open source would do to Movie Studios.

Test case: Standard formatted script as input, finished movie .mpeg as output.

“International Waters” is just the bad ‘hood of the sea.

The thing is… you’re not alone.

The things you care about, the things that bring you joy, other people are very passionate about them, too, and are already promoting them.

So that really just means that unless your thing needs protection (no.) you can stop worrying and just focus on your own work.

Of course they’re going to shut down the CFPB, it was too effective. That is the pattern, everything within the government is being removed because as Trump (president) said:

I don’t think you are all already to talk about the unfortunate souls that have been glazed by LLM’s harder than any human ever has.

Worse, now they know how it feels, yet also won’t get that from anyone in real life.

What do you think that’s going to do with their interactions in the real world?

Hey @larslofgren.bsky.social read your post about Reddit mods. It’s actually worse. For example, I was once mod of a cloud provider based sub, and the actual company took it over forcefully after I removed their ability to collect metrics from it (they were spying on the users, collecting metrics).

Is the size of a community devoted to a specific idea, ideology or concept, a validation of its identity and core concepts?

What separates a paranoid conspiracy theorist group from a valid community supported reasoned argument?

What really defines what valid logically consistent truth actually is?
