Look, I am aware of the dangers of vigilantism but I’m struggling to see why you’re so dead-set on this. There is basically no movement from those in power to actually curb these people and that’s where I start to care a whole lot less. Yes it’s still important to consider somewhere in there but hey, if the German government wasn’t doing anything about it then I guess that means they’ve passed on the opportunity.

At some point the scales will not balance well and you need to be ok with that. There is no paradox of intolerance, for example, because tolerance is itself part of a social contract that bigots broke all on their own and once that’s out the window they do not get to reap the benefits of it. Social contracts aren’t easy math but they do make sense.

This isn’t blowing up a furry website because someone thinks that’s weird. White supremacy is an incredibly dangerous ideology that has no place in whatever better society we claim to be aiming for. No one killed them for it, either. White supremacy built a website and a better person removed that website the same way one might paint over a swastika but leave the nice mural.

I call it self-defense, honestly.

It’s wild considering one the first things people did with LLMs was that lawyers had it do their work for them and they showed up to court with documents that were partially made up. Literally stuff within the law sphere and these guys still couldn’t learn from the mistakes of others.

AI is so fucking stupid.

Maybe it would be if the shrapnel itself was going to hit his heart or spine?

And we(society in general) keep believing them, always acting like we’ll be rewarded if we just work a little harder. All the people using AI “because it helps me in my job” haven’t stopped for even a second to ask why the fuck they should be looking to be any more productive than they already are.

We enable this shit. We let ourselves be driven by these fucking toolbags. We have better options presented to us all the time and we ignore them. It’s our fault, but the cool thing about that is that it means we technically have control. Technically.

Against his competion a healthy society would have looked at Cuomo and thrown him in the fucking garbage and Mamdani would have gotten 90%. Ya’ll gotta raise your standards, even if you don’t raise your expectations.

I don’t take anything for granted in North America. We just elected the most obviously corrupt person to be mayor of Montréal and even the total left/right votes between the four major parties skewed significantly right because we’re stupid as hell.

That probably does something to it as well, but ok then change it to “I can’t believe that he was actually elected”.

That just goes to show how bad the US is at electing leaders. Just terrible, even when good options do exist, to the point that I still don’t fully believe Mamdani is the New York Mayor.

I’m sorry, so besides not wanting to pay a person to drive the vehicle, the fuck does this service actually provide again?

An “convenience” is such a lie. I own a car and have a metro system and I almost never use the car. If I didn’t have parking in the back where I could just keave it it’d be even worse.

It’s insane how shit the US is at managing its cars considering how aggressively they’ve forced them as the only truly viable mode of transport. It sucks horribly to drive in North America but it’s the only option given to people. Like, if you’re gunna do the worst option at least do it right and have some pride in the system.

The US doesn’t give a fuck about its people.

Hardware keeps getting kore powerful but programs aren’t really doing anything more for us. Games look pretty much the same at anything but the highest settings and a browser does the same shit it did ten years ago, but with all this hardware the devopers stopped giving a shit. “Who cares if it’s good for a 2070, a handful of 5090s exist!”

The more people walking, the fewer people driving. Makes enough sense to me.

Once capitalism has regulations to keep it in check and a democratically elected government is in charge and willing to do those things it’s no longer capitalism. Capitalism is putting monied interests first and crossing your fingers that the free hand of the market is anything more than a fairy told to naive idiots to make them support a corrupt-by-design system, such that those monied interests can be said to be chosen “democratically”(vote with your wallets).

Capitalism just sucks. It was made up so parasites nobles didn’t have to give up their ill-gotten wealth when feudalism ended. Fuckin’ thing is rotten to its core.

Grok has achieved average human intelligence: It believes that someone paying other people, regardless of how they got their money and the ethical failures involved in using it, is equivalent to having done the work themselves. Nevermind that the only reason any of his shit works is in spite of his painfully stupid decisions and not because of them.

In a way, I’m not even mad. We do these things to ourselves and we refuse to look at the obvious.

Gross. That’s how it starts, and then the only thing cheap about is its cost relative to the other tiers.

It’s been a minute, are there Netflix subscriptions which one pays for but which still have ads?

I just hate that the recipe list, instructions, and the other relevant information are in three different places.
