Suggestion: Replace "E Pluribus Unum" with "Colossally Destructive With No Real Benefit"

There's just so much variation. I want GTA6 to be mistaken for reality, but I don't really care if they make an Arctic Eggs remaster that looks like reality.

These statements also treat games like a monolith when games trying to depict reality should look real but games like Cuphead or Mario or etc can look like whatever as long as the gameplay is fun. I don't want a hyper-real Pokemon. Also, games like Mouthwashing look like shit but are amazing.

Rebecca Black's Friday had a better rap interlude

An image with a toy bendable giraffe, made to look human-sized, standing in the doorway of an apartment next to a TV on a small set of drawers, reminiscent of Tristan Farnon's Leisuretown. He says, "HEY EVERYONE LET'S ALL START GIVING A SHIT ABOUT THE PLANET. JUST KIDDING"

Like 20 years ago after Leisuretown ended I was thinking of picking up the torch and started working on an homage but never followed through.

the way it seems right now, irans goal is to destroy our economy and our goal is to provide footage for dank memes the administration can post so edgelords will think theyre cool

nigel farage tweet: The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes. This is the definition of woke.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

RFK Jr. Urges Americans To Grow Lots Of Pubes To Keep Bugs From Crawling In Cockhole

Corollary to this: it's infuriatingly absurd whenever people make the "men are just 'becoming trans' in order to rape women" argument because it's already so alarmingly, wretchedly easy for cis men to get away with rape in our terrible society. Why would someone go through all that trouble?

It's extremely horrifying how many people idolize famous rapists across the board really.

Getting really fuckin' bummed about things these days. I wish I could just run my own little game company making fun shit. I'd love to expand the "play with your face" stuff for people with disabilities that limit the use of their arms, for instance. I have a wild platformer in mind.

This, to me, is the root of it: the left is always going to be more stuffy, constrained and dogmatic because *the left believes that oppression exists and matters.* This is a turnoff to a certain sort of person who does not wish to believe this. But reality wins eventually.

Anyway, I make cool apps and didn't use AI for them. There's a Tetris you play with your facial expressions, a license plate word game, a stop motion/time lapse/photo retake app, and a video/audio reversal app.

I'd be happy to make more if they made any money!

But eventually some executive will be able to type "build me an app that makes little girls feel like they're too fat so I can sell them Teen Ozempic and get my shitty son an insecure girlfriend" and Claude will spit out the buggiest and most poorly-coded multi-platform app you can imagine.

I'd wager like 60% of AI generation is the garbage you see all over Facebook now where it's just people trying to drive engagement with a bunch of ":( nobody is sharing this photo of a grandma who knitted the world's biggest Jesus" bait so that they can get a million shares from Boomer rubes.

A world of slop. Slop code, slop art, and none of it benefits anyone. AI "tools" don't even make engineers more productive, and in the meantime it's all stripping junior engineers' ability to even understand what they're doing. "Art" slop tries to outdo actual artists through sheer volume.

And then for those 5 sites to devote hundreds of billions of dollars into cramming "features" down our throats that nobody wants but that we're doubling the number of data centers to "provide", at significant environmental expense. Oh, and now RAM costs 6x as much. You're welcome!

I remember back in the 90s with the incredible promise of a worldwide communications network sprawling out in every direction, our biggest collective hope was that eventually everything would be distilled down to 5 social media sites that all show us the most enraging shit because it's profitable.

Gotta say, it's really fun to be unemployed in tech right now due to poor executive decisions compounded by every top-level dipshit worshipping the fucking cock, ass, and balls of the same vibe-coded AI bullshit that's hallucination-picking schoolgirls for our military to mass murder. Fun future!

He will build a tunnel big enough for one Tesla car in one direction. Each car will carry 30 gallons of oil. It will take 145,000 trips to transport the equivalent load of a modern tanker. Tesla stocks will rise, techbros will cheer and high five.

There was a soft mandate to use AI at my last job, the implication being if you didn't "utilize the tools" it would reflect poorly in performance reviews. I tried using Claude to fix a simple UI bug and it kept introducing new bugs over 3 hours until finally I just fixed it myself in 15 minutes.

All of which brings us back to Anthropic, whose Claude large language model is integrated into Maven, software that's operated by Palantir and used by the Pentagon to identify targets. The Washington Post reports that "as planning for a potential strike in Iran was underway, Maven, powered by Claude, suggested hundreds of targets, issued precise location coordinates, and prioritized those targets according to importance." Given that the Iranian elementary school was hit on the first day of the war, it seems fairly likely that Claude played a role in the selection of that target and thus in the death of more than 100 young girls-many times more kids than were killed in the worst American school shooting.

AI nearly always hallucinates so the idea of using it for selecting military targets is absolutely horrifying. This alone warrants impeachment and prosecution of everyone responsible. Unforgivable.

He might, but only if there's a public transit project in the works for him to completely derail

"Made with AI" really seals it

This is good but without a more robust public transit system to/from the suburbs it’s only solving half the problem.

Trans Rights or Eat Shit

Meanwhile cis people will undoubtedly be allowed to get hormones, surgeries, boner pills, etc.

Have I mentioned that for trans people whose bodies no longer make endogenous sex hormones, this is a death sentence preceded by weakened bones, heart disease and whole slew of unregulated body functions including temperature, sleep, digestion and mood (dis)regulation?

It’s witnessing a case study in “reasoning from ideology rather than evidence”
