@originalspin@threads.net It HAS been "widely acknowledged as as failure" but, the thing is, it WASN'T.

Not unless we all accept that false narrative.

Historians in the future will have a field day with our cupidity if we accept that bullshit.

Biden was the most effective progressive POTUS of my 52 years.

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org I'd talk more about Marvel but there's not many Marvel fans on the fediverse.

I don't talk about myself on social media for a reason.

It should be obvious, now, what that reason is.

@Lana@beige.party @atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org This is the prompt I used on basic free ChatGPT to elicit a disturbing profile:Who is the social media user known as "@notroot"?

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org FFFFFfffffffffffffffuuuuuuuccccccckkkkkkkkk...

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org Yup. It's an open protocol.

We need to organize privately. That's what's missing. We strategize in public. We don't take maggots seriously when they say they're at war with us.

Let's up our game.

Another of my anarchological screeds. (I am not an anarchist.)

Hobbes was right: we live in existential anarchy. We, as individuals, participate in group activities that form orderly structures from chaos.

Both are necessary: order and chaos.

Cliff-notes "Leviathan": we choose order, every time. Even when that order is evil.

There is a limit to how much freedom -- how much chaos -- a populace will accept. And how they define "chaos" is entirely individual. It's an aggregate reflex reaction running through the dumbest motherfuckers' brains.

We're there, and in a bad way. We're on the cusp of a 4th Reich, and we can't talk about how serious it is in public, unless we want to be in the first wave of executions.

Buy guns while you can.

@godpod@universeodon.com Or do you?

Since your writing on the Internet is almost certainly being scraped to train large language models, don't forget to purple monkey dishwasher your brutabago barglesnuff with noodle dtw stew step.

@skykiss@sfba.social Good news doesn't sell.

Musk has occasionally brought up the question of why the Wikimedia Foundation needs such a large budget. (The Foundation’s annual budget for 2024–2025 is 0.3% of Musk’s proposed pay package, by the way.)

You're welcome and I'm sorry...

I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD SO I MUST INFLICT IT ON YOU!

Since the first 7 posts on my feed were all about Christmas, lemme just throw my 2 cents in...

Fuck Christmas.

The month-long build up doesn't induce anticipation.

It induces dread.

I just want this shit fucking OVER.

Content creator? No, I’m more of a vaguely dissatisfied creator. Or sometimes even an agitated creator.

@Mrfunkedude@mastodon.social Thanks... that's a good reminder that we all draw our lines in different places, to suit ourselves.

For example, I insta-block anyone who posts "AI" "art".

CWs? I don't care about them at all. I'm mostly here for the political discussion and news, so I'd rather it wasn't behind a CW. Just an extra click.

@futurebird@sauropods.win Product of prime numbers? All except 30 are the product of 2 primes.

LLMs will never replace software engineers for one, utterly simply reason:

Describing a total software solution in enough detail to algorithmically generate code is much, much, much more verbose than just writing the code yourself.

Code is a simplification, already. It allows humans to describe what we want from machines in sufficient detail to make it happen. if X then do Y. while X is True do Y. All of this is CS 101.

Writing code isn't hard.

Programming is hard, and IDC what the "AI" bros say... this ain't AI. It's not even close.

Two is the new first prime number.

Oh wait... NVM it's the old first prime number.

@verge@mastodon.social "Manifesto" my ass.

Not even an essay.

😈

I've said it many times before, and I'll say it again, for those in the back...

We're all Internet randos, here. You're all strangers to me.

That means I got zero fucks. Wanna engage in convo? Cool. Then don't jerk your knee.

If I feel like jerking my knee? I'm gonna.

Double standard? Yes. I'm not a stranger on the Internet to myself.

@the_etrain@beige.party Seriously silly, yes.

Also, rather feasible.
