Nice! I was just thinking about how much I love installing binaries instead of going to a website

This guy wants people to use bitcoin for chat so badly and it is never going to happen, but it is kind of sweet that Jack Dorsey, through Nostr, was able to accomplish what Musk wants so badly: A social media platform only used by people that like him

I enjoy your detailed breakdown of how exactly they pay anthropic for access to their models but I am unclear about how “I think they’re bad” means that they didn’t pay for it

Can you elaborate on “it doesn’t count as a sale if I don’t like them even if I accept the money and give them what they paid for”? Like if you work at a gas station and you realize that the guy that just bought a hot dog bullied you in middle school do you call the cops?

We witnessed the most extensive industrial espionage campaign, probably ever

This is the funniest way of saying “going to a company’s website” I have seen in my entire life

Chuck Tingle

Nobody said that he did

And then immediately wrote “I fully trust AI with these things”

You trust AI with dating?

Exactly the same

You pay Twitter money to generate thirty videos per day?

I was wondering who runs this weird paranoid crank blog and it turns out it’s Garry Tan lol

Ever since I was a young bboy I dreamt of teaching Founders the Grindset that turns KPIs into K-P-Eyes

Hi, author here. I write about what I'm curious about.

“Linkedin poetry is my passion” lmao

I like that this is gibberish. “Giving money to charity makes products worse”, “It’s good but I bet that it’s bad”, “I’m using ‘giving to charity’ as a stand-in for anything else bad that I can imagine”

Every now and then it really looks like the hot new drug in Silicon Valley is MPPP and the tech bros got hit with a bad batch

AMA!

I think I missed where you posted what business you work at

I like that you start by saying that you don’t know how someone could draw that conclusion about AI and end by saying they probably got there by using AI

I kind of meant more broadly.

Your notion of “the left” as some sort of… swirl of evil linguistic specters that prey on the good and civilized flesh-and-bone right is better suited to post-OT III Scientology than Lacan. If you want a philosophy that your ideological detractors are literal evil ghosts they have recruiting offices in most major cities.

Oedipalizing them into the world as linguistic subject

I don’t think this means what you think it means

It is okay to dismiss negligible things. People sustain a lot of injuries and die in their bathrooms but it would be insane to both-sides somebody’s campaign against taking shits

̶M̶a̶n̶y̶ People are ego-driven. Their opinions aren’t positions they hold; they are the position.

̶M̶o̶s̶t̶ People don’t reason their way to conclusions and then feel accordingly. They feel first, then reason backward to justify the feeling.

ftfy

There are no people that aren’t ego-driven or feel first and then reason backward. There are just situations sometimes where it doesn’t look that way

Trying to imagine the mind that comes up with “Is this graphic description of a person’s horrific acts meant to make me like them?” and drawing a blank lmao

takes inspiration from marxist ideology[42] and unites the "productive" classes of society against the "Transferiat", with the "Transferiat" being a term coined by Allard to describe the classes of society that lives off transfers that are a net negative for society

lmao This is like the song Tequila by The Champs but instead of a long instrumental it’s John Galt’s speech and instead of “Tequila!” it’s “Marxism!”

https://youtube.com/watch?v=U_JFLb1IItM

It is amazing that if you say “Marxist” after any possible combination of words some people will go “oh wow that is leftism”

Utter gibberish, like a picture of Ayn Rand wearing an ironic Hugo Chavez shirt.

No. It is terrible on noodles. Every brand.

That page says most kids can barely read. Are you a kid?

“This is how the world should work” I say once I read that the handful of entities engineering global economic calamity are privately held. I interrupt my chat bot girlfriend’s detailed but deeply incorrect summary of yesterday’s news to type “Only a literal child would want to go to a school.” “That is so true! You’re really on to something brilliant there! To get a head start before we drill down on this further I’ve deleted the contacts group ‘School Friends’.”

I don’t know what she’s talking about. I’ve never had a contact group with that title. Out the window my car is doing donuts on an old baseball diamond.

No, champ, it's the flying of the plane into the WTC

Sir, a second zine has struck the south tower

The number of people in the prison/jail/probation/parole systems in the US has gone up ~16x since the 1970s

https://www.sentencingproject.org/reports/mass-incarceration...

While the population of the US has gone up by ~1.6x during that same period.

Seeing as convictions aren’t spread evenly across income brackets, a poor person’s chances of being in the carceral system outpacing population growth by a factor of ten doesn’t really jibe with the whole “there’s never been a better time to be poor” thing

What year was the president born in for the past decade

Is your point that the AI industry would have wrecked Edo period Japan

Or that we live in a shogunate
