The main argument against libertarianism is that it's spiritually unambitious. It will never produce a great work or a great country. https://t.co/Y8fWzROhi7

For sure, you can’t conquer the galaxy with that pathetic shit. But neither will liberalism nor conservatism.
Those new minds? We fuckin’ need ’em. I’m on whatever side that will do something.
The longer the political left refuses to engage with AI – or transhumanism, space exploration, abundance, or any number of other pieces of tech – the more they will simply continue to cede these grounds to neolibs and fascists.

That does seem to be their plan. They are already clownishly irrelevant. In some ways, the modern left has become some weird offshoot of traditional conservatism — except they want gay people to get married and think men and women are exactly the same, except when they are completely different (trans stuff).
The absolute state of the left. https://t.co/Zj5kNKItAo

The left is not quite stupider than the right, but lord it sure is trying its best to get there. Most of the tech we use now was once “nerd fantasy” of course.
Extremely bad. Absolutely do not go into tech now. It is going to be gutted. If you’ve got 15+ years in and you’re senior now, you’ll probably be ok. Otherwise, avoid at all costs. Choose any other major and/or field.
Everything in tech is going to be disposed of, outsourced, converted to AI, murdered by MBAs who understand nothing and care only about the next quarter and their bonus. It’s happening now and it’s only going to get worse. There is zero future in tech.
Hamas? It’s Israel’s Leaders Who Are Hiding Behind Civilians Again.
I see someone has never been to a city before. Lord. And they’ve definitely never been to Tel Aviv (I have!).
FUCKING CHRIST MILITARY HEADQUARTERS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS IN BIG CITIES WHERE EVERY-FUCKING-THING ELSE IS TOO.
Jesus fuck people are godawful stupid.
The Pentagon is only a few hundred meters away from a playground, a Costco, and a Whole Foods. And other stuff. Of course. Because the Pentagon is — check this out — near where people live!
Do people even think for a single second about the wacky-ass crap they come up with?
Microsoft Locked My Account – I Lost 30 Years of Photos & Work, and They Won’t Respond.
But…nothing is ever lost in the miraculous Cloud!
I’ll say it again: if you depend on any cloud service for anything important or that you want long-term, you’re a chumpish numpty.
This seems common. I’m not even a gamer, but a past horrible girlfriend would get enraged that I spent 45 minutes (about as long as I ever spent as I get migraines after that) playing Unreal Tournament. Meanwhile, she would spend 6-7 hours straight on eBay.
When called out on it she’d say that, “It’s different.” Different, how? In UT, I spent zero money. She spent thousands on eBay and other sites like that.
So glad I’m done with terrible partners.
Exactly. Everyone on both sides of the debate is so solipsistic that no one talks about what’s actually happening. And what’s actually occurring is (as usual) all I care about.
The question, “Does AI act and think exactly like a human?” is idiotic. Clown-level thinking. “Does a submarine swim like a fish?” Who gives a fuck? The doofshit left is so concerned with calling AI a “plagiarism machine”and retrenching corporate copyright power in an extremely poorly-considered rearguard action against AI that they never even consider what’s really in store for the future or even what’s happening right under their always-upturned noses.
The real question is, “To what extent will AI replace human labor?” And, “What are the consequences of AI use, in the politico-economic sense and socioculturally?” (Etc.)
AI and all the implications and complications thereof is not going away. The Bluesky clowns can screech all they like about their poorly-conceptualized understanding of plagiarism and how AI works but the incontestable fact is that AI is here and MBAs are going to use it even where it makes zero sense. That is now inevitable (absent Buterlian Jihad).
Time to deal with it like adults, not like whiny petulant children.
What do you think is quietly disappearing from modern life?
Despite the request, mine is privacy and that it has any value. Most Gen Z seem perfectly willing to shovel over any personal data or details with zero thought and portray you as the naïve loser if you refuse to do the same.
Meanwhile, they are the biggest prudes in history. Make it make sense.
I’m sure it’s true sometimes, but the primary reason older men are interested in dating women in their 20s is not that they want to control them, it’s just because that’s the only population of women in the US at least where 90% of them aren’t horribly obese.
It’s really just as simple as that. Why search so hard for a complex, ridiculous explanation when the straightforward, real explanation is just right there?
"If you give AI a hard enough question, it can't do it, therefore AI can't actually reason" is kind of a wild take if you think about it. https://t.co/JhTqtfOCv1

That paper is clownish. Anyone who treats it as credible is clownish.
And I am by no means an AI enthusiast. But dumb is dumb.
This comment is horribly depressing.
From what I’ve read, though, this is incredibly common among the under-25s. In addition to their illiteracy, they depend on AI to do nearly all of their thinking.
We’re not headed for a very nice future, are we?
I hope the loss of US science supremacy, the destruction of our world-class universities, the elimination of accurate weather forecasting, a severe depression and so many more self-caused acts of destruction are all worth not possibly having to share a public restroom with a trans person.
Stupid motherfuckers. I wish you moronic MAGA lot could FAFO without me having to do so as well.
If I were single now, there’s no chance I’d date in the US. I’d absolutely become the despised-by-feminists1 Passport BroTM.
It’s the only reasonable response to American women’s insane standards and lack of accountability and reciprocity. And yes, that’s true even if you meet those standards. Why choose from a clapped-out cupboard of cheap and crappy goods when you can just…not do that.
And no, when I was in China I was not a Passport BroTM. I slept with no one and turned four different women down.
Language policing has reached a completely senseless nadir, I see.
I propose replacing “smoke test” with “slap the ugly baby test.” That way it offends everyone equally. Let’s do this.
