RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
These people donโt want to win; they donโt even want to persuade. They want a world where they are a pure and rarified elite, with none of the responsibilities of actual power, only the smug gratification of being right.
Dawg we are talking about 1966, no American white working man was suddenly getting left high and dry by deindustrialization or austerity or recession
The only โradical shift in the material conditionsโ was โyou have to let black people into your school/office/shop/apartment block nowโ
It's my dad's middle name, and he wanted me to have it as a first name because he thought it would make me stand out. No way I could get rid of it. I always liked my name, even if I hated being a boy going back to kindergarten.
The Hard Hat Riot is the single most important and consequential independently organized labor action in post-Gilded Age American history but the entire left-of-center has deliberately chosen to completely forget it because of how utterly embarrassing it is to us
I am #lookingforwork
Do you need someone whoโs good with AI language models, likes speaking to politicians about tangible risk rather than sci fi risk, or a defense geek who likes flying robots?
Well Iโm your guy!

I can legally work in both the United States and Canada.
Japanese researchers announce they have developed a new method for getting cancer cells to kill themselves.
Sources say they simply have to ask the cancer cells for a "quick chat" on Microsoft Teams.
Chrishell Stause announced that she and G Flip have separated after three years of marriage, adding that she doesnโt โhave all the information or the reasons.โ
today we tried ordering an impossible whopper from burger king. the automated kiosk shut down. we tried ordering at the front till and the till shut down too. aptly named!
The bad news is that we might end up writing a lot less code in future.
The good news is that we might finally be able to start building software *correctly*.
I hate the idea that the inherently queer stance is anti-AI that some people seem to think is the default. I've had people question if I'm even a woman, and call me a tech bro, and it's like they're in active psychosis lmao. If you can't respect me as a woman you're a bigot, AI or not.
"Miller โ after hours of being pursued โ added: 'They have been chasing me since this morning. They're not very good at it. They really probably should get some more training on tracking somebody down'โ.
Reading this Famitsu interview Uchikoshi did and it seems that the reason the Crash Keys game was canceled was because *Uchikoshi* wanted to use AI, not the publisher. This snippet is driving me nuts. Makes all the posturing with Hundred Line read extremely shallow.
no, it's not a burrito taxi. there are three different burrito orders in one vehicle, you see, so actually it's more like a burrito bus. transit needs to work for everyone, including food items.
AI really does change the speed at which you can do things but every product is still very 80 / 20. Getting to the MVP feels really good and goes really fast, getting the UI to actually work in a sane way is going to require a lot of annoying and frankly boring testing / use.
A person on Twitter posted these screenshots about her supposedly ridiculous Airbnb host, and I'm honestly impressed, for the first time in my life, I'm feeling bad for an Airbnb host, she's just that entitled and ridiculous
tl;dr - lady acts like finding a couple of spiders in a cottage in the woods that the owner, who lives next door, was happy to handle for her makes her the biggest victim on the planet
This makes a lot more sense when you understand that he was suicideposting on main, got the cops called on him for a welfare check, and seems to be waffling on the edge of wanting suicide by cop.
This whole situation is more sad than funny.
His Twitter doesn't give enough info to understand what exactly happened with the police other than they were there about his suicide threats. But his suicideposting was super intense, they probably tried to commit him, and he resisted and fled?
it's also worth considering that people who are old are more likely to be willing to be like "yeah this AI stuff will probably change how things work, and that's fine" because they're no longer invested in the idea that their specific way of doing things is eternal
i know comparing everyone to christian fundamentalists is a bit passรฉ, but some people truly do believe in binary "you are good or evil" and any drop of "evil" is total and contaminates your soul, even retroactively
like "tarnish everything he ever accomplished".. dude phoned it in on a sticker

American capital markets are fucking crazy man, this company didn't exist five years ago and now there's a mid-sized European GDP flowing through it
