Company with human-positive name offers IPO will ultimately undermine humanity. Welcome to the future. First of many. #brokenpromises #AI

Out of milk for cereal? Try this simple hack! Dilute 1/4 cup of ranch dressing with some water, vinegar, or pickle brine. Add cereal. Enjoy! #lifehacks #cookingtips #dubiousadvice

Every now and then one stumbles upon a door that opens into an entire world that you had no idea existed. #chemistry #esotericism #minutiae

Discovered a bug in the #Behringer X-Air-Edit application today. The knobs & meters in both the stereo & dual mono De-esser FX units are wonky& seem to cross streams. I'm attempting to report to Behringer, but so far only was able to open a ticket via their new Uli #AI support. Waiting for a human.

Found these beauties popping up under a large pine tree beside a country road. Anyone know what kind of #mushroom they are?

Recently found a huge cluster of what I think is hen-of-the-woods #mushrooms. Might’ve harvested it too if it weren’t located right next to a dirty parking lot. Chapstick included in the photo for size reference.

This would legitimately benefit everyone.

Perhaps voting should have a pre-requisite requirement of passing a fundamental test that includes simple math, philosophy, and mental health questions. Don’t pass? Vote doesn’t count. Could also include some tests like “is this AI?” or “does this seem like clickbait?” Democracy needs a lower limit.

Oh, you wanna rename states? Why focus on just New Mexico? Why not Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, all the states w/ Native American names, etc.? When whitewashing names, it gets really existential really fast. Why America? Are you tied to Amerigo Vespucci? #racism

Tell one lie, then another, add them together and get another lie, add the last two together for another lie. Repeat endlessly until the public can no longer respond to any of the lies. This is the Fib-o-Nazi Sequence.

If you say, “I’m working on me,” then other people likely will be pretty happy about that. But if you say, “ I’m focusing on me and doing so to the detriment of everyone else,” then people just might have issues with your tact. You can’t simply #MAGA and not care about the people around you.

“I am a pathological liar, narcissist, and basically indistinguishable from the Anti-Christ, but that’s exactly what is bringing value to this company, its shareholders, and will ultimately destroy us all. I’m not asking for your support. You have no choice.”

Never judge a book by its cover, unless that book is a billionaire covered in money, in which case you can know without a doubt the book sucks. Even Jesus said so. Mark 10:25

If you are having trouble understanding themes and deeper meanings behind The Lord of The Rings, here’s a hint. You can’t spell Legolas without Lego.

Is #AI god? Sure! AI is god in the same way that some computers in data centers owed by powerful corporations are god. Could you unplug them & stop the god? Yep! But these weak gods are kept online, raping communities of their power & water, not because of omnipotence but for profit & control.

Is #AI god? Sure! AI is god in the same way that nuclear weapons are god. We’ve been clever enough to harnesses fundamental powers of the universe to make weapons that could destroy us all many times over. Amazing! Well done, idiots, you built an overlord you no longer can control, fight, or resist.

Is #AI god? Sure! AI is god in the same way that using all of our human knowledge and resources to erect a golden calf statue is a god. It sure looks nice and is awful shiny, but it used a lot of resources we could have used elsewhere. Ultimately it was made by us, which basically means it not god.

The #AI industry has generated unnecessary jargon for things that already have terms e.g. spend, compute, agentic. We have words for these things. Save your creativity for actually original things. These words are new & shiny like the stainless steel panel on a CyberTruck, which is not a compliment.

Due to AI, I have disabled external pull requests on all my repos. Open source, as we have known it, was fun while it lasted. (It’s been 15 years for me) I will still maintain projects and handle issues.

If elected, I promise to eliminate all political yard signs. That’s my entire platform and cause. Thank you for your vote.

Before you sign over your entire life to the indiscriminate vacuum of Meta’s #Muse #AI, I beg you to go back and rewatch (or watch for the first time) Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher’s ‘The Social Network’ and then decide if you want to trust the founder of Faecesbook with everything.

Remember when you could use a minus sign to omit certain results from an internet search? Now every search engine just ignores any sort of smart search query and instead serves up unrelated content and bad AI summaries.

We had a close encounter with Napoleon Dynamite tonight. Jon Heder was so close, I could feel the heavy mouth breathing. #films #celebrity #comedy

Modern life is surrounded with sudden on/off audio experiences. Short videos, ads, TV, sporting event stingers all cut into and out of audio clips of music and speech. It’s very jarring and I believe may be creating stressful effects that we are not accounting for. Bring back smooth audio fades!
