If I have the spoons and money, I like to just host an outing for my friends. Plan it, pay for everything and drive. It’s sweet to provide an experience that might not have happened without the effort.

Limp and low effort. Actually kind of impressive to make a movie with so much going on be boring. The writing was like a rough draft with placeholder dialogue. Legendary actors giving wooden performances. Oof.

Yeah no shit. It was never about results, it was always about hurting people. It’s a step in the technofascist takeover. Fuck AI. Fuck techbros. Fuck capitalism. That is all.

It WOULD be a BMW driver.

My Sharona by The Knack. Everything about that song sucks, fuck it to hell.

GenX here. Never actively used AI and have no intention to ever start. I don’t need it, I have my own intelligence.

The only streaming service worth the money is nightflightplus.com

When these data centers go bust, there’ll be a flood of hardware to the used market which will crater demand on new stuff. These companies couldn’t shoot themselves in the foot harder.

Then stop pushing updates to Windows?

More proof that money is meaningless.

Ugh, the south

You think they won’t use this the same way? That’s adorable.

AI and the people pushing it are not trustworthy. They do not have your data security nor your wellbeing at heart, even if your doctor does. LLMs are inherently bad at data security and there is no way these companies can, in good faith, promise HIPPA compliance. Likely, the AI use will be on the part of the insurance company to find ways of denying your claims.

They’ll just replace him with an AI fake powered by Grok and gaslight us into believing it is the real Trump. Everyone will go along with it because of course they will.

Don’t forget Microsoft

I’d never do this, but paperbacks are pretty much disposable. If you keep any for more than a decade they will do this to themselves.

I view anarchism as a philosophy and lifestyle more than a government or system. Whenever you thwart, resist or defy authority, you are engaging in anarchism. This can’t be a system because it is a negative. It’s a response to power. What you are asking for is egalitarianism, and there are many kinds of egalitarian governance structures that have varying degrees of success. Ostensibly, the US is egalitarian. In practice, not so much.

Be cautious, you are talking to potentially thousands of strangers after all. But the point of social media is to be, well, social, so you have to share something personal to have it be worth someone else’s time. We’re here for connection, don’t let the corporate fascist panopticon steal that from us because we’re too afraid to be genuine.

I’d like to virtual cheers all of the men out there who bought thoughtful gifts and made someone happy this season. Merry Christmas!
