I’d love to have just one billion dollars to lose “successfully,” never mind 80 🤖 https://www.nbcnews.com/business/markets/anthropic-releases-ipo-filing-ahead-highly-anticipated-stock-debut-rcna605676

I think we should start giving only half an Oscar to most famous aged actors because only the bottom of their face can still act

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Everyone is Twelve truly is the defining political theory of our age.

A truck can only take so much

Oops, I forgot I was following John on this platform; that problem has been fixed.

The term everyone is dancing around is "secret police", a hallmark of totalitarian regimes.

This made me laugh this week.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

"A dozen orcs stormed the Palantir offices in Seattle this week to apply for jobs at the surveillance tech company. Palantir's militarized AI products attracted the horde of orcs, who hoped that their history of serving the Dark Lords would land them a gig. Unfortunately, Palantir didn't bite." 🤣

I challenge anyone to give me a more dense collection of great conversation, factual information, and insightful commentary on current events than the podcast premiering right now. https://youtu.be/OdEpyZVP5dU

A new month means a new opportunity for OGE Energy Corp. to request a rate increase, this time with a jump of about a $25 for the average resident.

Read a blog post about how we all have to accept AI in promo art because not everyone can afford an artist and even free stock art will all have AI, and I just want everyone to know that I will promote my stories with stick figures I handdraw with crayon before I willingly use AI tainted art.

“AI made art accessible” is like saying burglary made me having your tv accessible

Some people apparently never learned that one is not required to jump off a bridge like all their friends nor encourage others to follow such foolish choices.

I’m that weird guy who doesn’t fantasize his sons going to war.

I like this thing

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

you can take a bite of me sure i only want a little nibble of your soul in return tee hee pretty p l e a s e

Unrelenting loser energy

AI users, you all sound like you’re trying to get me high on hallucinations, so I’m going to call back on my childhood training and dare to just say no

Nextdoor is not a dating app!

I’ve been having fun watching @nextlander.com go through The Incident at Galley House — I’m about an hour in to the finale so far — but the stream is being RUINED for me because they misspelled Meg Patterson’s last name! https://youtu.be/FTiJUGYxClA

“I never wanted to ‘get political’ in my career: I hoped to be able to make a bunch of money doing things I liked and never feeling pressured in any way to mention or even think about the geno—I mean confrontation—in Palestine! Can we please do my concert now?” — Clown Musician

It’s been rattling around in my head for a bit now that while I am pondering whether I want to own *any* smartphone, Apple decides to reveal a phone with a cost that exceeds anything I’ve ever spent on any portable device and with a feature I’ve never wanted. Are they trying to help me quit?

Trump did not create White supremacy & Christian Nationalism, neoliberalism, war mongering, media disinfo, or the rampant bigotry of our society. He (and Putin) just took advantage of what was already there.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

It’s concerning to me how many people on the AT Protocol team are this deluded by their AI use.

when you work at the BPAF but you’re beginning to realize there’s not going to be a successful IPO

Stop arguing about Kojima and start experiencing one of the best video games(?) of 2025 that you haven't experienced. Yet.

I feel like I’m forgetting something

🌿 ROWBOT RALLY 2 🌿 the all-new, space-age sequel to the award-winning playdate game coming soon to your playdate, and your PC wishlist: 🟨 play.date/g/pesto 💻 raewtf.itch.io/rowbot-rally-2

the only way AI is killing us all is if we let the AI CEOs get their way and build so many fossil-powered data centers they trigger runaway warming. stop giving any fuel to the sensationalist, science fictional notion they’re building an intelligent computer that will decide to murder us all.

“Spiderman and the rest of the people of this city have the right to defend themselves!”

BREAKING: Matt's been forced into a "leave of absence" www.404media.co/wordpress-au...

The previous invite seems to have expired, so here's a new one: discord.gg/SXtWeXrdwg 🪶

I was trying to get through to one of the staff of this site yesterday but like, this is psychosis. The people who run this site think AI is alive. How do you come back from this

It absolutely wouldn't challenge our idea of what makes us unique in the world. Many whale species have complex languages and culture, slime molds can solve complex puzzles - anyone who has spent any time with animals knows that cognition isn't exclusive to humans.
