The truly fucked up thing is that that book is (very loosely) based on a true story.

How about Kid Rock on Saturday Night Live talking about not waiting till the Olsen twins turn 18 literally saying “If there’s grass on the field, play ball!”. If you didn’t know, the Olsen twins were famous for their portrayal of the baby/toddler in Full House as well as a plethora of children’s adventure videos starring them at various super young ages.

This is the same Kid Rock who sang lyrics about child sex in a children’s movie and just headlined the Alt-Right Superbowl not-quite-halftime show.

I am actually GenX

IIRC he was pretty decent. I never watched Dawson’s Creek but I’ve watch a bunch of stuff he was in later and I enjoyed those characters. It’s a real shame about his death but this really kind of highlights how insane our medical system is when a famous actor can be bankrupted simply by having cancer.

AKA, end the Patriot Act

Not to mention destroying the home GPU market at the same time.

Meanwhile insulin is more expensive than it ever has been in the history of it’s existence. While Dumbass Trump and Dipshit Kennedy along with their Republican backup singers are doing exactly dick about it.

This was a goddamn fucking moonshot, and it was achieved. An amazing feat of human ingenuity.

This is where I remind you that we have not been back to the Moon since 1972. Not because we couldn’t do it but because we saw no profit in it.

Nothing in this world outpaces America’s capitalist regressiveness.

Yeah that’s because they have a state sanctioned version of TikTok that is controlled by an algorithm that police’s peoples speech and what they do and reports anything untoward to the proper authorities.

And now that Fox News has bought TikTok, the US has their own version of an algorithm that will police people’s speech and what they do, and most likely report anything untoward to the proper authorities.

It’s Ok now though cause TikTok was bought by Fox News.

Good thing I don’t use Discord.

Time for a return to Inter-Relay Chat.

I will never cast a vote for Gavin Newsom. I don’t give a shit about his stance on AI. His stance on the rich corporations is to gove them what they want which is just Trump lite.

My question is whether or not disabling the AI feature also disabled the feature that have had AI integrated into them. The article is unclear on that.

Fellow GenX here. A bottle of Jameson’s was $20 just 2 years ago. Now it’s $30. I only ever buy it on mega sale. Can’t really afford to drink it that often, so I save it for special occasions. $10 more may not sound like a lot to some but to me it’s the cost of dinner for 2 nights.

I use a binary thermometer. 1 is hot, 0 is cold.

LoL, if you think this is them scaling back something. Think again. This is the next evolution of their business. They’re trying to phase out people using grocery stores and in person stores in general.

It wasn’t just Biden. The entire democratic party was complicit in allowing what is happening now.

There were lots of people who said the Dems wouldn’t prosecute the Jan 6 Traitors, and more than 1000 of them ended up sentenced, and MANY went to jail.

That’s the point though isn’t it? They went after all the small fry they let the big fish go and now he’s back in office causing even more chaos than he ever could have in his first term. In fact, I don’t think he could have done half as much damage as he has if he had gotten a second term immediately after his first. Instead he and his cohorts had four years to plan what to do once they took the White House back.

The Democrats had grown a backbone and prosecuted that fucker in the four years they had we wouldn’t be in this goddamn mess.

No, he doesn’t. The democrats will never do anything about this.

There is also the fact that AI is being shoved into a lot of places where it really is quite useless. Search engines are the most glaring example of this. LLMs aren’t suited for integration into a search engine, and yet every search engine in existence has had one mashed into it and advertised as the greatest thing since sliced bread. And they all universally suck at it.
