Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

a neil gaiman defender contests a response of 'no' to a link to a substack, and is told 'I see that like Neil Gaiman, you don't understand that no is a complete sentence'

A Blue wave or two cannot save us, we need a political overhaul akin to the New Deal era backed by strong political ideals and values. And the Democratic party with their conservative values aren't working out.

The Al Con 12 and Frank Rosenblatt (one of the originators of the "neural net-work" metaphor) were concerned with developing tools that could be used for the guidance of administrative—and ultimately military systems. In an environment where the battle for American supremacy in the Cold War was being fought on all fronts-military, technological, engineering, and ideological—these men sought to gain favor and funding in the eyes of a defense apparatus trying to edge out the Soviets. They relied on huge claims with little to no empirical support, bad citation practices, and moving goalposts to justify their projects, which found purchase in Cold War America. These are the same set of practices that we see from today's Al boosters, although they are now primarily chasing market valuations, in addition to government defense contracts. The first move in the original AI hype playbook was foregrounding the fight with the Soviets. The second was to argue that computers were likely to match human capabilities by arguing that humans weren't really all that complex. In 1956, Minsky claimed in an influential paper that "[h]uman beings are instances of certain kinds of very complicated machines." If that were indeed the case, we could use more controllable electronic circuits in place of peoble in militarv and industrial contexts

Oh my god the original losers who came up with the idea of a computerized “artificial intelligence” also knew it was bunk and were pushing it to try to appeal to the military who wanted an edge over the USSR to defeat communism

Just so people on bluesky are aware…I was very early bluesky and I very much actively followed every dog account I could find that signed up and now when I open bluesky I basically am given pure dog content straight to the brain stream every time. I am proposing everyone else do this. The end.

I sincerely believe we need an actual political movement to remove the rot in our system that has developed, because the Democrats as it is don't have an appetite for change or political retribution and the Republicans will only obstruct.

Ben Affleck to the group chat: u know what all this reminds me of? Argo

Man.

MOUSEKA-GIGER [photo of HR Giger in a mouseketeer hat and holding an Oscar] ... As  fan of H.R. Giger, I have been collecting his prints and corresponding with him for some time. So, when he arrived in Los Angeles for the Academy Awards, I wasted no time in contacting him. Enclosed is a photograph of him posing with his award for ALIEN. He had just been to Disneyland the day before, which explains the hat. As a fan of STARLOG, I would like to share this picture with the readers. I’m sure they would enjoy seeing this Mouseka-Giger!

True redemption doesn’t usually involve an increase in power and influence for those redeemed, and we should be wary of those who try to gain those privileges from a pose of repentance.

少しずつ春になりますね。がんぼるぞい！

It's slowly becoming spring!

congressional democrats didn't give a fuck that we double tapped an elementary school last week with tomahawk missles and killed almost 200 little kids but they're about to express the purest outrage today because Line Go Down

these fucking idiots are going to let every fascist who trump discarded rehabilitate themselves as democrats. between this and george conway and eventually MTG the future is MAGA vs former MAGA as a controlled opposition party forever.

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T
