Nothing on earth you do with your stupid image generator is worth as much as our ability to have drinking water.
Molly Crabapple (@mollycrabapple.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
We are sacrificing our scarce, dwindling DRINKING water so depraved incels can generate unlimited big-titty anime girls and tech loons can try to build themselves a god Generative AI is a death cult.

Thanks to Karen Hao's brilliant book Empire of AI, I learned that potable water is the only type of water that can be used to cool data centers. Saltwater or wastewaster isn't useable.

AI's best use case will always be scams. It's scamtech, top to bottom. Everything about it is crooked. Its bedrock is theft and its legacy is the destruction of the environment, both physical and virtual. Even most of its 'legitimate' uses are a form of lying. "I wrote this." "I created this."

I'm wary of retirement. They act like you'll finally be free, but I'm pretty sure it's just a new kind of tired. I mean, it's right in the word itself. Re-tire. To tire again. No thanks, hard pass. Not gonna fool me this time, capitalist pig dogs! I'm gonna work until I die, thank you very much!

Once you understand that a driving principle of American politics is there is no such thing as a compassionate solution that's cheap enough or a cruel solution that's too expensive, a lot of things click into place.

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

There should be a 3-point Alley-Oop play in the NBA if the ball is lobbed from behind the arc. Would tilt some leverage back towards athleticism from just straight shooting 3s all the time.
