PGE Protest Oct 18th
  • Pge has no competitors. You gotta target the protest at the government, or take it to the streets. This is even dumber than doing a one day Amazon boycott.

    The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates
  • They're not selling the copy, bruh. They're selling a technology that very few understand. Smart people pretend they get it, but they don't. That's how rare the math is.

    The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates
  • Whatever happened to copying isn't stealing?

    I think the crux of the conversation is whether or not the world is better with ChatGPT. I say yes. We can tackle the disinformation in another effort.

    Tim Walz trolls J.D. Vance by buying donuts like a normal human person
  • Thanks to you I finally decided to watch the video of him donut shopping and it didn't seem that bad. Just some out of touch rich guy struggling to make small talk.

    But nowhere near the level of couch-fucking weird everyone's been claiming.

    So yeah I guess it would be better if he were a total sociopath and could more convincingly fake excitement during small talk?

    The part that made the video bad wasn't his behavior, it was how clearly the staff knew it was a meaningless publicity stunt. The staff has enough braincells to know that this guy's policies, if elected, would do nothing to make their lives better, and that they are just pawns to make him look like he appeals to common folk. This is not something specific to this candidate, but his entire party.

    They should've just declined him as a customer, or insisted that no recording at all could be done on their property. That would have sent a clearer message to him, unless you think the existence of this video helps the Kamala campaign because they will overreact to it and add it to the "he's weird" pile. I agree he's probably that bad kind of weird (I believe all Republicans are either so rich and selfish it is indistinguishable from being straight up evil, are racist, or being blackmailed) , but I don't see that being demonstrated in the video.

    Self-confidence
  • It's nice to be in a room with someone who knows their shit, and never actually talk about the shit they know about, and instead connect to them at a human level.

    But that's not useful for podcast listeners.

    No, really, Republicans are getting weirder
  • There was a recent article titled "look at these fucking weirdos" where they address this. It explains that they are the bad kind of weird.
