Today I learned that the income needed for a single adult to live comfortably in my city is roughly double my total salary. This is immensely depressing but also somewhat validating.

I am more than okay with simply not playing any video games that use AI in a significant way in their development. If that becomes most video games, so be it. There is more to life. I’m going to spend mine looking for human art, not shortcutted slop.

No but seriously, it’s mind blowing both that it has been ten years somehow and that this follow up is every bit as funny as the originals despite all odds.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Can someone please throw Schumer in the trash can and get the Democrats better leadership already? The left wins big in an election and the first thing the party does to celebrate is immediately cave and weakly hand the right everything it wanted. No wonder Democrats are so unpopular.

I hope people realize that it doesn’t matter whether states comply with Trump’s illegal attempt to control elections. He’s setting up to declare the results as invalid if they don’t do what he says, thus rendering it irrelevant who people vote for.

Surely there’s no way this goes well, right? I can’t imagine AI is good enough at this job to not cause a loss in quality.

The U.S. has shifted so extreme right that what the rest of the world views as common sense policies for the good of all, we view as radical left wing extremism. The left wing in this country needs to get better at PR and messaging.

Maybe Coke is right that the AI genie can’t be put back in the bottle, but we sure as hell still have the power to not spend our money on products that use ugly, soulless slop like they’ve gone all in on. Consumers have the power if they choose to use it.

AI is a naked emperor proclaiming how world changing his wardrobe is. Pretty soon the world is going to see that his balls are hanging out and the bubble is going to burst. The best they have to show us is the dumpster fire Sora app and chatbots that still can’t answer basic questions without lying.

I wonder if the people who voted for Trump so he would lower their cost of living have figured out what’s going on now that’s he’s put tariffs on every item on shelves and bailed out Argentina’s economy instead of ours.

The Supreme Court is truly working in concert with an authoritarian regime to favor outright racist policies that suppress voters so a deeply unpopular regime can stay in power illegitimately. That is the cold hard reality but so hard to wrap my head around.

If Disturbed is going to keep saying their concerts are a place where music should bring people together regardless of belief, they should probably stop autographing bombs and promoting genocide. Practice what you preach.
