God this is so embarrassing. Lazy journalists carrying so much water for the most idiotic fanfic. This reads as if someone stumbled on a pokemon fetish Tumblr and is now hand wringing about the philosophical implications of force feeding Raichu to make him bigger.
Our greatest ethical question as we eat cows and let children starve is whether a for loop in Python feels pain.
Can AIs suffer? Big tech and users grapple with one of most unsettling questions of our times

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Watching moulin rouge and can we talk about what an amazing job Richard Roxburgh did at not looking hot at all in this film? The mannerisms, the voice, even his face are completely transformed.

video games were never meant to be 100 GB
years of research yet no real-world use found for 4k textures
wanted good graphics anyway, as a joke? we had a tool for that: it was called imagining that the game looked like the manual art

In case this wasn't clear already. Abolish ICE
This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case.

If you've been hit by staffing cuts while managers and leadership give you a GPT subscription to compensate, start sending them fake receipts for your work expenses. If they complain about how they're obviously fraudulent, tell them, no it's perfectly acceptable for the workplace.

i can’t believe all it took for tesla stock to recover a bit was to do a paid photo op with the president of the united states, have the government designate vandalism on teslas as terrorism, gift multiple politicians and police stations teslas for photo ops, and get corrupt government contracts

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

Listening to behind the bastards episode on Bruno Bettelheim and I used to use this guy all the time as a citation in my college courses. It was a very hip take in art school at the time. Todd, the reason for problems in society had to do with changing fairy tales to make them safer. 🧵
