Only because the hype has lasted longer than expected. Now that IPOs have been filed, the AI companies (Anthropic, OpenAI) released statements about slowing down to protect us. They’re setting the stage for lower growth. But I think you should invest every penny you have into “SpaceXMegaTwitterSuperCarAI”.
Which is why we should weed out the people who don’t believe in science. They harm everyone around them with ivermectin bullshit. We’re not contentious on the value of vaccines.
My father almost died of polio as a child. His autopsy / cause of death was recently upgraded to say something about a side effect of polio that occurred later in life. I’d never heard of it until about a week ago when my brother told me. We’ll see similar for covid decades from now.
And I have no problem with that. I sort of found out who they were by accident cause they had a trend of good stories getting posted here and at some point I auditioned their podcast where they mention that.
That’s sorta the point of their strategy. Steve Bannon used the term “flood the zone with shit.” The idea is to throw so much insane / upsetting news at us that we can’t focus on any one thing.
I will take this opportunity to recommend a podcast ep about him from the QAA podcast:

I hope I found the right ep. The ep number is so low that it makes me wonder if the one I wanted was a later ep? Too many total to go through and verify.)
And Behind the Bastards:
He became pretty unhinged later in life. He put some bizarre content into the world.
Ron Wyden co-authored Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act in 1996, which protects internet platforms from being held liable for user-generated content. It’s a big reason that the internet exploded in popularity. We may need to revisit and increase regulation since seeing what social media became, but he’s had a pretty great track record.
How do you know they didn’t spin up a factory here and create jobs? /s
What, you want her to treat people like PEOPLE?!
I love a feel-good story.
The bovine is the natural enemy of the shark. That’s why they deployed a herd of cows to save the day in Jaws.
In IT, though, the people that get rewarded and noticed the most are often the people that metaphorically set their own fires and then play the superhero in putting them out.
You know, this is so true that I’m a bit ashamed to admit that my best moments at my current job have been when I correct mistakes I made. Example: I gave someone the wrong laptop when they started. I handled the comms like an expert. I made sure the exchange was smooth. The masterful handling of the mistake came from years of experience smoothing over things that weren’t my fault. It was a real opportunity to shine and it wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t fail to set a calendar reminder.
When I do everything right, there’s no need for customer service skills.
It’s not my fault that I didn’t complete my work by the clearly labeled deadline. Tom, at my old job, was a lazy dick and made me less productive because he wrote bad notes that didn’t tell me what was needed next. That’s why I didn’t finish this thing that you asked for last week.
Scott Adams is dead! I didn’t know. He died in January of this year. A shitty fucking person with a horrible world view is no longer putting content on the internet. Happy to learn this.
(I liked Dilbert as a kid and owned a couple of his non-Dilbert books. It’s sad how he went full-rightwing-nuttter later in life.)
He’s the only one that can end the conflict. He’s the only one who can fix the economy. He’s the only one who can protect us from bigfoot. He’s the only…
My favorite part of T2 is how brazenly he shits on his supporters.
I don’t self-host email but I don’t use my own domain to have control over it. Look into FastMail and a custom domain. That’s the happy path.
Hat tip, France. You’ve earned my respect once again.
Exactly how I feel about vaccines, except then people who are immunocompromised are additionally placed at risk.
Here’s what we should do: every adult who wants raw milk should be given a gun with one round in the chamber. Let them make it quick.
We called it a “doob tube.”
I can’t imagine a better way to ensure people don’t donate land ever again.
The best part is when they listen to their constituents. Wait… they don’t?! I’m shocked!
Also, as Trump said, nobody cares about the Epstein files. It’s a hoax!
