  • It still baffles me that Bush won in 2004. People saw 9/11, saw 3 years of Bush’s response, and then said “Yes please, more of that!”.

    unfortunately I can offer insight into this aspect. I lived in south texas around that time.

    the GOP is really good at sussing out divisive politics. in 2004, they knew they were in deep deep shit. so… and I really don’t understand the how of this succeeded - but some how they convinced religious white latino and african americans that gay rights - people being able to marry the person they loved - was going to directly disenfranchise them or destroy the concept of marriage. a ton of people who normally would never vote R, and often never vote at all, were whipped into frothing mobs by their clergy to come out and make sure that didn’t happen by putting georgie back in office. and that’s not an exaggeration, they were told by their preachers to come defend jesus by making sure the gays couldn’t marry.

    it’s 32 flavors of fucked up racism and hate. then in 2005 katrina hit and any illusion people had that the GOP / Bush admin cared one fucking wit for anyone besides rich white people evaporated. too late.




  • spent about 3 months in misery because some seemingly random days I’d end the afternoon with my back covered in hives from my belt to my neck.

    turns out, I’m allergic to the foam used in the chair I sat in for meetings in the conf room. not my desk, so not every day, just often enough to really fucking lose my shit. and not always the same chair.

    I apparently need a cone of shame for my ass.

    lol this made me chortle, thanks, and good luck









  • a human can literally not program a computer to be smarter than a human

    I’d add that a computer vision system can’t integrate new information as quickly as a human, especially when limited to vision-only sensing - which Tesla is strangely obsessed with when the cost of these sensors is dropping and their utility has been proven by waymo’s excellent record.

    All in all, I see no reason to attempt to replace humans when we have billions. This is doubly so for ‘artistic’ ai purposes - we have billions of people, let artists create the art.

    show me an AI driven system that can clean my kitchen, or do my laundry. that’d be WORTH it.
