I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

by far the funniest use case for AI is “I use it for powerpoints because I hate making them and nobody looks at them” because it kinda sounds like the real workflow savings would be to stop making powerpoints

Brain is too loud, so couldn't get to sleep and chose a random TV channel. Am watching Hobbycraft. It's like Babestation, but for overpriced art supplies, sold in real time, for Live Laugh Love people. Not buying anything, but it's mesmerising.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Reject any motherfucker who tells you we need to abandon a vulnerable population or person. They’re either a fascist or a fascist-in-waiting.

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

It wasn't all about walking. To sustain the yearlong boycott, they built a massive organized carpool system with 40 pickup stations around the city; at their peak, they were giving 15,000 rides a day. The police harassed them. Politicians and commentators called them disruptive. But they persisted.

Some of you might know that the Renaissance hit "How can we read while our hats are burning?" was the main inspiration for Midnight Oil's later, far later, top hit.
Cooling is a top priority in data center operations. In order to think things through properly (and protect your thinking hat from catching fire), have regular breaks to cool down from reading and thinking. This advice is brought to you from 1608. #skystorians
