That's why the AI model relies on billionaire VC bros funding billionaire founders of the actual product funding billionaire intellectual sweatshops like Scale AI. All paying desperate PHds and other underemployed knowledge leaders 20 -30 bucks an hr (tops) to steal their brains and claim it's AI
Sam Altman is a moron: “In 2035, that graduating college student, if they still go to college at all, could very well be leaving on a mission to explore the solar system” Every person putting people into space (not useless figureheads like that Sam) not just went to college, but advanced degrees
Make it stop
It's important to know, if you don't already, that Bill Maher is a dumb bag of shit
The worst are members of the Irish and Italian American communities...Do they know nothing about their own ancestors' histories to be such vocal proponents of laws that used to target them?
Seriously, no one even knows who she is in Lexington, MA, yet somehow after failing miserably at the local level, she became a national figure, lol, none of it makes sense
Just went shopping at WalMart. Wanted to mention that a 6 pack of men's boxers is now $21 and change after tax, meaning minimum wage workers has to work 3 hours just to afford their underwear for a week. There's something wrong with this country
Yeah, but you see, no one would have to play these games if the Fed did direct lending at the Fed funds rate, instead of allowing banks to play arbitrage with rates. Having worked in banking, everyone plays these games with the definition of primary, it's not even fraud IMHO.
Anyone surprised this asshat is a CEO? www.yahoo.com/creators/lif...
Very few, if any, are stunned, everyone is just covering their own asses for allowing it/aiding and abetting it. Add that to the fact people in power and with a voice are loathe to admit how obvious it was because then they'd have to call half the electorate abhorrent idiots for voting for it.
Isn't this just a hostel, lol
Andrew Huberman is a wellness influencer: his appearance on Bill Maher is amplification of that. Don’t forget Bill Maher platforms anti-science rhetoric, including germ theory denialism. I've written a LOT about Huberman and his pseudoscience tactics. news.immunologic.org/p/is-andrew-... 1/
What you are positing is that Matt Yglesias is the Bill Maher of Matt Yglesiases
Bill Maher has always been a grifting Liebertarian who said some left sounding stuff because he was high. The guy might be one of the stupidest fucks in both comedy and media, which is saying something. Bill Burr basically destroyed him for it on his own podcast.
The secretary of HHS is a former heroin addict with admitted brain worms. Far be it for me to rain on the redemption arc fantasy people hold in the US, but, no, someone who thought heroin was a good idea should never be allowed to be in charge of public health
The Secretary of HHS does not accept that germs cause illness. The logical conclusion of that is the worst pseudoscience of all: eugenics. He believes that it is not germs that cause illness, but personal failure (or if you're Chinese or Jewish he thinks bioweapons were designed to avoid you).
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
Im surprised no one is focusing on the privacy issues. Is the head of a government agency allowed to access and use private information just for his own curiosity? Is he just using a list of "enemies" to search private information. Someone needs to ask this.
Fuck these people, truly.
These Bluesky folks are no different than the previous Twitter staff, who were just as Nazi accommodating as the current Twitter staff, only less obvious about it.
The US mainstream media is so lost, they should be allowed to fade away
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Some personal news: My Son is officially canceling his second coming until y’all are actually ready to listen to Him.
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told
How come no economists ever discuss the impact of the social media ad scam as a major factor in inflation? Is it any wonder the more social media has taken off, and the more they've funneled wealth into their algorithmically created stars, the more that cost is beared by consumers?
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
Guys nothing happened. However, CEOs are still trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while planning on replacing you with a robot and charge you for the robot’s rent Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
And yet it's stock during the same 7 months is up, pretty substantially, proving once again the stock market is a fraud that needs to be shut down.
Note, I lived there for a decent amount of time and went to grad school at USD.
I'll believe any of you folks care about "crime" when you start charging fraudulent businesses that steal and defraud people with crimes and jail everyone who works there
SD is miserable with great weather. The people suck, the transit sucks, everything is way overpriced (but unlike places like LA/NY, or even Boston, there are far fewer good paying jobs to compensate). It is home to far RW media, and it has never had a decent mayor. Of course it's governing sucks
I'll always be confused that paying taxes is a violation of church and state separation but taking tax money is not...
a person offering teens free advice on how to take their own life: a monster, immediate jail for life at best a person who owns a company that makes money off giving teens advice on how to take their own life: a genius, this will save civilization, we must give you all the money
Excellent question.
Every Dem statewide in NC won by a similar margin. There were 2 outliers, one on each side: Stein for governor, because he ran against the worst candidate in decades, and Trump, which no one can explain how his margin came out nearly half a mill votes different than the rest of the ballot.
Keep in mind, Lisa Cook is solely being accused of what she is because of a Peter Thiel program as Palantir that is sifting through everyone's housing records and making up accusations against Trump's enemies.
In 30 years, we went from a POTUS candidate not being able to admit he inhaled weed once to having an admitted heroin addict with admitted brain worms running public health...There has to be a happy medium somewhere in the middle?
The highest murder rates in the country can be found in red states like Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri. Here's why Trump is right to militarize all the lawless blue states which contain the national hubs of culture & commerce.
And some people say that calling out the decline into fascism is why Dems lose. It is literally the second to last paragraphs last sentence of this piece from an alleged Dem. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Exactly, nor do people appreciate how much power they have behind the scenes and how dangerous they are.
RFK Jr. says you shouldn’t get a Covid vaccine. All doctors and research results say you should. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
Mike Johnson is a Christian nationalist who lives in the closet. Moses would not be happy.
If Mike Johnson doesn't set off every bell in your creep alarm, you need a major reset – cuz it's fuckin' broken.
Dear Lord @thehill.com hires the most snivelling of idiots, but these people are what have now infected our institutions, including this guy in higher education. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
"let's build a Dyson sphere around the entire solar system" If some guy in the pub suggested it, you would point and laugh at him. But because it is the man who is scared that the machine God will torture him, we have to take him seriously.
remember, y’all: we hang together, or we all hang separately. (as ben franklin famously said) you cannot fight your way out of authoritarianism by telling the authoritarians that you’re willing to offer up a group in exchange for freedom. it only gives the bullies the signal to divide & conquer
When shit hit the fan 5 years ago, we found out who and what was expendable, and it was the majority of "unskilled labor" that turned out to be "essential personally". Somehow the MSM helped everyone forget this fact quickly.
I'm confused, because all LLMs are are glorified search engines.
It’s funny to think about how much we heard about DEI programs lowering standards only to live in a post-DEI world where the standards for who gets to run US government agencies are so low, they’re 20,000 leagues under the sea
Been yelling about this for over a decade. These aren't visionaries, they are crazy people, with a purpose, and they will kill as many of us as possible to enact what they see as their birthright. And the kicker, they're all morons with a skill for carnage and fraud.
I've always gotten it. These tech/VC bros are psychotic. Have you ever read Thiel comments? Dorsey? Zuckerberg? Bezos? David Sacks? and examined what they say? We would have been better off drowning all of them years ago (and their friends here will ban me for suggesting this, again.
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.
Can't believe that in 2025 we have to be telling people that vaccines are safe and slavery was bad.
Matty Yglesias personifies the trolling, soulless fail-upward engagement hounding pseudo-intellectual brunchlord bullshit that has devoured modern American media
I think the major conceptual error is that it is bullshit to begin with. Like it just isn't true
Only in a country full of morons does seeing a 63% turnout in a hotly contested presidential race lead to the "intellectual" position that it is too easy for people to vote and we should make it harder. Thankfully fof Trump and Yglesias, they found that country.
Yglesias has perfected this thing where you can't tell if he's trolling or ignorant or both, but you'll notice he just endlessly fails upward as more talented writers (especially minority women) get discarded by major outlets like WAPO
If I had to try and pick between any other terror group and the terror group the US Air Force, I'd root for mutual destruction at this point. They are not my military and I will not pay taxes towards paying terrorists.
What we classify as crime is part of the problem... Corporations and the very wealthy call theft and fraud "business". I'll believe this country cares about crime the day I see cops arrest corporate employees when they steal from people.
They'll figure out a way to pay you for your organs on a prepaid debit card with ridiculous fees, so eventually, at least financially, from the donor's point of view, it'll go back to being close to an unpaid donation. They've done this with plasma donations/government benefits for years.
Can you imagine for one moment the media frenzy if Biden had troops picking up trash in full military gear...
“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege
Opinion | To win in 2028, Democrats should admit that it is impossible to do anything good.
Shuler: Thirteen billionaires in one picture—four of whom now run agencies of our federal government. If you’ve ever met someone who says the word “oligarchy” is too confusing or too complicated, well, you can explain it with that one photo.
BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy Jr poised to surpass gun violence as leading cause of death among American children.
It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
Children have to deal with mass shootings in schools while certain adults can't even handle a logo change.
Imagine an opposition party that could produce daily downloadable info sheets for dissemination that helped people understand who is to blame for their problems.
If I see a company branded cybertruck driving around, I’m going to avoid that business for the rest of my life.
I'll start: VT NRA stepped in to prevent the R incumbant from being reelected because he wanted basic gun regs, Sanders said Pick Me! & off he went to his 1st seat in congress, loyaly repaying the NRA with his votes. He is owed more than one child's name beneath his plaque on the wall of shame
I understand illiteracy can lead to bouts of frustration and anger, especially in people older. www.hookedonphonics.com www.superreader.org Can help
The median German citizen was not killed or imprisoned during the Third Reich, so it’s hard to see how anti-Nazism is a winning message for the left.
I have the same one as yours, you lowlife, probably pedophilic moron, saying stupid shit on Bluesky. The only difference is I'm not such a barren wasteland of stupidity, I understand how mentions work, I'm sorry you are not smart enough to grasp it
No, I just figured A). It's always fun to mock someone defending Taylor Lorenz and B). Every minute you spend typing out and reading a reply of mine means you are not out molesting another child. Two birds, one stone
There is zero surprise that moronic trash can not recognize it in another....
the biggest thing i hope studios take away from the success of Sinners and K-Pop Demon Hunters is that, wow, audiences actually DO like and want original stories and don't need every goddamn movie to be a sequel or reboot
Yeah, but you're illiterate, so why believe this idiocy?
Probably because you worry once your personality shines through, they'll realize you're valid and kind of trash and never flirt again
Actually, chucklefuck, I was quite specific in my language to ensure I stated I laugh at the dictatorship, not the people. Try learning to read before calling others idiots, you sad little fluff muffin
This is what you call an access whore...I know because she is female, some might take offense, but I also refer to Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson as access whores, which they are, so no sexism or homophobia is intended
👇👇
Just imagine if he sent the National Guard into Wall Street the real amount of crime he'd stop and save the American people. But he understands the idiocy of the MSM to regurgitate, usually fake, but even true numbers with no context
The guy responsible for the most massive crime wave in U.S. history...is telling you he's crushing crime. Read that a couple more times.
Remember when we used to laugh at dictatorships like North Korea for these types of things. It is amazing how quickly the US devolved into a low rent, third world dictatorship.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
When will people realize most with wealth and/or power will kiss the ring and support anything that oppresses the people they need oppressed
Critics raise concerns over Trump’s unconventional approach to the law
Yup, and then they flood guns in from places with lax regs and claim gun laws do not work. Recent NYC shooter got his gun in Nevada...Chicago studies have shown more than 50% of guns used in crimes in Chicago were bought out of state...
I don't anymore, we're going to need them soon with the path this country is already down (and I might argue we need them already).
One part of the resignation letter from Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who formally resigned from his position as Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC.
I worked at a Starbucks as a shift lead in college now a few decades back. They are one of the shittiest companies I ever worked for. Constant break violations they'd blame you for, despite horrible scheduling. Hours would get cut if you got close to realizing all the fake benefits they tout.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
Continuing to fortify the capital for his coup
Yup, but the people who control nearly all of our communication platforms are part of this takeover. Because, like Trump, no one will hold them accountable.
DJT: “I have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the President of the United States.” This would have been considered a pretty shocking statement under any other circumstances.
