hey now open sores software underpins the internet

don’t be naive. they’ll ignore platforms that don’t deliver detailed metrics on all their fans/customers, and pay premiums for insights that allow them to manipulate fandom / ticket purchases / merch.

Winnie the Pooh.

oh great now a bunch of mao-did-nothing-wrong types are going to flood in and call you a wracist. the word you’re thinking of is wracism.

they’ve cracked the code. next major pandemic, when we really need these chuds to play along or die, the vax will make your dick bigger. some will die after trying to get 12-20 vaccinations in a short period but that’s probably worth it.

…like holy shit, it’s all dead demons. just dead demons… fuck, do you realize you’re the monster demons tell their demon children about to make them behave?

we had some classical LPs - gershwin, copeland, holst etc., and I remember getting them on CD and hooking that to the high fi. no flutter. no dust. no pops and hiss… and all played at the right time, apparently our record player was 10-15% slow and no one knew… blew my mind.

maxwell’s dad was a mossad tool. all of epstein’s grandparents came from russia.

Trump sure does seem damned cozy with Putin. Russian banks are all over the Epstein finances.

“Investigate the role of sanctioned Russian banks in the financing of Epstein’s sex trafficking activities. The Treasury Department’s Epstein file contains information indicating that Epstein used several now sanctioned Russian banks for hundreds of millions of dollars in wire transfers. It appears that these wire transfers were correlated to the movement of women or girls around the world.”

we could, I dunno, quantify which results in better outcomes over time: a jacked up roided police force responding to mental health problems by criminalizing the suffering, or, I guess, maybe… provide some mental health services?

seems fraught with potential.

israel is buying itself another century of conflict. that’s the message to future generations: you’re gonna have to keep fighting this stupid conflict for ages

I remember thinking “these fucking mulletted hicks” when we moved to missouri and I was a little kid, like 6… but had never seen a full on mullet IRL, then was suddenly surrounded by them all ages and not just the boys either.

how’s that working out for you bud?

Colbert

He’s a more decent catholic than many of the cardinals (the ones that played hide the pedophile)…

oh no, that’s… not diddling kids.

wish conservatives would actually care about kids being molested instead of cosplaying concern.

I would like to think that down deep Tom Cruise is fucking hilarious and not some insecure nut.

I wonder what the last half century would be like if a sci fi writer hadn’t decided to cash in on cults.

or excusing poor behavior because of past pain. we’re all responsible for our own actions.

meh. I don’t blame the AI. I blame the engineers and executives that paid to build it. Never forget GIGO. The AI is literally just running the instructions it was given…and those were given to him by some amoral developer or dirtbag c-suite creature who couldn’t give two flying fucks at a rolling donut when it came to human decency.

it amazes me how there seem to be two takes to the world now:

it’s fine, pfft, don’t overreact. ignore it, it’ll be fine

or

what the actual fuck is that even, we all need to stop and think about what the fuck we’re doing to the models/applications/machines and to the people using them, and what the costs are going to be in making the attempt,for what goal?

and no, the goal can’t be ‘to win / make billions’ because if the output is human insanity and it costs our ecosystem, what’s the fucking point?

I feel the same way about Adam Sandler except for Punch Drunk Love. the right role makes a big difference.
