After all the pollution, overfishing, and sonar testing, the ocean is fighting back.

Indeed, I’m not justifying surveillance in either country. Just reflecting on how it’s been portrayed and is progressing here in the USA

He just lived in the society he advocated for. He literally believed a shooting now and then was worth the right for everyone to have guns.

You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I am, I, I — I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.

Those are his own words from 2023.

Just because it happened to him doesn't mean it wasn't what he wanted. For all we know, he died blissfully knowing he received a God-given bullet.

I think it's much simpler than that. I think he just wants to make money and sees an opportunity to enrich himself. These people don't have a sense of morality, only a "fuck you, got mine" basic American individualism

The irony is I remember growing up with numerous stories about how expression is locked down in China and everything there is surveilled and if you speak poorly against the government you’ll get arrested etc. And thank goodness we are free in America to express ourselves even if it’s against the government because, my gosh, I might not like what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it!

And as if with no sense of irony and not even a remote bit of critique, all those stories about surveillance in China (true or not, I don’t know) were actually true, are currently true, or are becoming true here in the USA. And in many cases they’re just sold as commodities back to us e.g. ring doorbell cameras.

And a final thought: the USA used to be able to justify many of its foreign interferences on a sort of moral high ground, including freedom of expression and all that. That mask was slipping but now with Trump2 seems to have just fallen off. The pretense has given away to crass might makes right international relations. I consider the USA becoming a hyper surveilled state to be part of this story.

The secondary use here is when you get asked in performance evaluation time how much you’re incorporating AI into your workflow. And you’d better not say “none” so you keep generating these nonsense documents and throwing them away so it appears like you’re using AI

Their primary use case in the office that I’ve seen is asking someone a question and having them send a LLM response where they clearly didn’t read what you asked and the response they sent you does not answer the original question. It’s so cool!

All this boohooing about his family. His wife chose to marry him because he’s a reactionary racist transphobic piece of shit. Meaning she herself is one. The only people I feel bad for are the young kids

he died in the pro-gun society he advocated for. oh well.

Palestinians can't report on their own genocide because that's considered biased and non-objective, but in the New York Times it's no problem for Isabel Kershner with her literal and familial links to Israel and the IDF to "cover" Israel's crimes. Many such cases.

A redundant comment already made by someone else: to consider the power draw of the computer if you leave it on 24/7

One thing to keep in mind is the IP address might not reflect the actual user's location.

#JustEthnoStateThings I guess

I’m picking up what you’re putting down

Of course they know. They are knowingly making an addictive product that simulates an agreeable partner to your every whim and wish. OpenAi has a valuation of several hundred billion dollars, which they achieved in breakneck speeds. What’s a few bodies on the way to the top? What’s a few traumatized Kenyans being paid $1.50/hr to mark streams of NSFL content to help train their system?

Every possible hazard is unimportant to them if it interferes with making money. The only reason someone being encouraged to commit suicide by their product is a problem is it’s bad press. And in this case a lawsuit, which they will work hard to get thrown out. The computer isn’t liable, so how can they possibly be? Anyway here’s ChatGPT 5 and my god it’s so scary that Sam Altman will tweet about it with a picture of the Death Star to make his point.

The contempt these people have for all the rest of us is legendary.

Reminds me of all those stupid "cyberpunk 1994, office nights 1998" ai slop playlists on YouTube. They all have a common theme: they don't represent or even remotely sound like the kind of music from the year they claim to take you back to. and the tracks, if one can call them that, are the same repetitive, thoughtless rhythms. If you go to YouTube to find some background music to listen to, these kinds of uploads dominate the search results today. And it's all D-tier shit.

lie about election results, lie about bombing other country results, lie about employment statistics, lie about genocide, lie about vaccine results, lie about sex traffickers, lie about climate change, lie about crime rates in cities, lie about...

It's a country where the first president was a slave owner, and has slavery embedded into its founding. So you're of course correct. We are just wavering between levels of "awful" and "very awful."
