Hah! I love that!

BREAKING: Musk’s Arsehole-to-Mouth Pipeline Hits Peak Efficiency—Verbal Diarrhoea blasting at Unprecedented Volumes.

Once more Musk showcases a supreme lack of knowledge. If not for empathy we wouldn’t even have civilisation. Empathy is the social glue that keeps us together. It’s through empathy and cooperation that communities and societies form.

For me it’s Shuntaro Hida. His retelling of when the bomb dropped, and the events he experienced after. The people walking, heads bloated and their flesh sloughing off like bloodied rags.

Sounds like corporate right now. Had a meeting earlier and it wasn’t even focused on AI, but I heard it enough times to make my ears bleed.

Thanks. Yeah, she’s a horrible and abusive person, and I’ve had zero contact with her for a year and a half now.

Don’t know about most painful, but it definitely sticks out.

My mother screamed for me at the top of her lungs on the other side of the apartment. I hurried into her office, where I see her pointing at the screen saying “FIX IT!” So I look at the screen and… it’s a save dialogue in Word, asking her if she wants to save her document.

Me: It’s asking you if you want to save the document.
Mother: Well how am I supposed to know that?
Me: Do you want to save the document?
M: I DON’T KNOW!!

It’s like she saw the dialogue and her brain crashed. She definitely could’ve read and understood it, but just chose not to. That sort of thing was a frequent occurrence sadly.

Everything looks grotesque at that scale.

Donald is in indentured servitude after all. Gnarly man.

Learned something new! Love it.

“I wrote an email to Google to say, ‘you have access to my computer, is that right?’”, he added.

lmao right, because the support person they reached, if indeed they even spoke to a person at all, would know and divulge the sources they train on. They may think that all their research is private but they’re making use of these tech giant services. These tech giants have blatantly showed that they’re OK with piracy and copyright infringement to further their goals, why would spying on research institutions be any different?

If you want to give it a run for its money, give it a novel problem that isn’t solved, and see what it comes up with.

People can call me a shill if they want. I was curious when I first tried Kagi, but sceptical, but now I’m really happy. It’s fun to see new features make it on there, and more than anything I love that I can make the search engine work for me instead of having to faff about trying to phrase stuff in a way where I can coax what I want out of it.

If I hate a particular website, I’ll just block it and never see it again. It’s so simple. The new “AI generated” tags on images is nice, and I hope we can see something similar for websites at some point too. Maybe flag sites that are known to use LLMs for garbage accumulation. There might already even be a blocklist for that.

Get off Google. There are alternatives, Qwant, Startpage, whatever floats your boat. I swapped to Kagi and honestly haven’t looked back.

I got a letter like this a couple years back. No hallmark card, just the thinnest and flimsiest paper you’ve ever seen. It was pretty eerie to have a random handwritten letter addressed to me by name, but since name and address is public information here in Sweden it’s hardly surprising they have it.

My old workplace happened to be right next to a JW cult church, “Rikets Sal” as it’s called in Swedish, which I’m guessing translates to like “Halls of the Kingdom” or something like that in English. They were terrible neighbours. They tended their property meticulously, and wouldn’t be obstructive, but they’d come over during business hours and they were intensely misogynistic. They’d also attempt to kill the hedge that sat between their church and our offices because they were unhappy with how tall it was. That is up until my boss threatened to charge them for it.

Has the orange arse even hit the seat yet? People were really fucking fast with throwing out all their pretense of progressivity.

Doesn’t matter. He did it.

I hadn’t heard of this. I was shocked to find out that unpasteurised milk could be sold to begin with, didn’t expect a second shock in the comments. Think I’m going to go back to just not touching social media for a while.

I really hated all the moaning about people calling out that both are shitty options. The Overton window is so far to the right. Like, yeah Harris is clearly the better option but neither represent any positive moves forward.

I rather like the wide berth people give me even though it doesn’t make much sense. Like, anyone could have Covid, but if I had it and I wear a respirator I’ll be less dangerous than someone who has it and doesn’t wear one. I get that people equate respirators with spooky but that’s just because they haven’t thought about it.

Thinking back on it, there was a single dude that spoke to me randomly. I think it might have been because of the mask but I’ve genuinely no idea, I always wear ANC headphones and ignore people. It helps my anxiety a lot.

Sadly, the people that will really appreciate you using a respirator are those you generally don’t see out and about because they can’t be, it isn’t safe for them.

I also mask. People don’t generally talk about it here, and masking wasn’t even very common back when the pandemic was taken more seriously.

Never faced any aggression but people do give you a wide berth which is kind of hilarious to me, but it doesn’t bother me at all.

I was brushing my teeth when reading this comment and inadvertently ended up swallowing all my toothpaste.
