The highest IQ populations today are both not reproducing but also replacing themselves with low IQ populations.

Every Mac since 2022 ships a pair of daemons whose only purpose in life is to build a graph about you and the people around you: who you are, who you know, how those people are related to you and to each other, how you communicate with them, where you go, with whom, what you do and when. Ugh.

Iconoscope.

Clearly

Exactly. The hilarious part is most of these dipshits have not listened to the cockpit audio. I did, and loud, so I could attempt to hear what was happening to the aircraft itself.

And the pilot actually flying the plane (if Nathalia was on the radios, she was probably not the active pilot) was reciting the Lord’s Prayer while Nathalia was communicating competently and professionally with ATC about their exact situation even though she knew she was heading toward certain death.

Again, Jeff Gregory, the pilot flying at the time was reciting the Lord’s Prayer while the plane was in peril. You can hear it clearly in the recording.

Frontiering

I’m using the frontier AI models as much as I can now for the things I want to do because soon they will be locked down zones that are friendly only to corporate imperatives and priorities.

I’d suggest you do the same.

Choking Up

We practiced escaping chokeholds in my krav maga class. This was not a fake or pretend chokehold. This training happens all over the world (and should).

And now I know how to break a chokehold, even if done to me by someone stronger and larger than I am. Fuck the leftist authoritarian prudes.

Heli of a Time

Even if I am forced to use it, if I cannot customize the OS or the browser it’s crap.

Using junk the normies use doesn’t work for me. I need power and control. Any anyone who tries to control me should be thrown out of the helicopter.

Those UK laws are insane. But the left has gone extremely prudish and very authoritarian — in many ways, more than the right ever was. A lot of the left’s views can be explained by female intrasexual competition, though (including the above). Or, in other words and pictures:

Job seeking in the age of AI: The robots read my cover letter.

This job market does not have an answer for the fact that every year, more and more young people, eager to show the world what they can do, will be competing for a shrinking pool of AI-decimated jobs while being told, over and over, that they arenโ€™t good enough.

Economists are mendaciously claiming what is obviously happening is not occurring, even though it very clearly is. This article has a better view. Just as with shipping all our core industrial jobs off to China for a few bucks, AI will eliminate tons of jobs and they will not come back. And this time, you won’t even be able to go part-time as a Walmart greeter.

It’s going to be a very different world soon. That article is a preview of what’s coming for a lot of people.
