When people talk about capitalism driving efficiency it rings hollow because we had a functioning, efficient video sharing site but now it's been deliberately made worse and the old experience is being sold back to us. The system that does this repeatedly is not an efficient way of increasing QOL.

It seems like YouTube ads these days are less about being advertising a product to increase the sales of that product and more about being as unpleasant as possible to drive the sales of YouTube premium. It seems like they go out of their way to find scams and AI garbage to worsen user experience.

ai killing lots of people is indeed a valid concern, but imo it’s less to do with ai’s abilities and more to do with its inabilities. that is, ai wont kill as a hyper-intelligent murder machine but rather as an incompetent “decision assistant” in fields like health or military target assessment

It’s been so inspiring to see the growth of data center opposition across the US and the wider world. Taking on the tech industry is bringing communities together — which seems like exactly what we need right now.

Tech Won’t Save Us@techwontsave.us

Across the United States, communities are uniting in opposition to data centers to power generative AI. This week Saul Levin joins @parismarx.com to talk about those fights and how they center on tangible issues that bring people together. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/334_...

If you replace the cheese curds with shredded cheese, even if it's still gravy and fries that's cheese fries with gravy. You can change the sauce or the type of fried potato but the cheese curds define poutine.

My outrageous hot take is that cheese curds are the defining factor of a poutine. If you switch the fries out for tater tots or the gravy out for marinara or curry or any other sauce you can call it "tater tot poutine" or "Marinara Poutine".

Money where my mouth is: I (the social media guy, hi!) played the entire campaign plus DLC of CB and it really is just a fun game, like the hype when fusing mid battle and the vocals of the track come in....it's Peak. So excited to see what this new installment has in store!!!

Then I guess it's not a financially sustainable organization. They'll have to close some locations or shorten their hours. Alternatively, we could end the public navy and let private navies provide this service.

I think it's unfair to compare Elon Musk to Lex Luthor. Lex Luthor can actually build the robot suits and death rays that Elon Musk constantly dreams of.

Just had a cashier try to upsale me at Five Guys. Your regular fry is already comically huge, I don’t need a large. I'd bet dollars to donuts It's the managers telling the new hires to try upselling customers. I know it's an insane thing to care about but it irked me.

LMAO gotcha! That's not a gaboon viper, it's a butterfly pupa that looks like a gaboon viper to frighten predators. Get batesian mimicried loser. You absolute buffoon! This is a gaboon viper. #aprilfools
