Nvidia down ~8% this week, Palantir down ~10%

Maybe the needle really is shifting.

The guy that created the subreddit, Violentacrez, was also the “victim” of an expose by Gawker who found out his real life identity. Reddit tried protecting him by banning links to Gawker when the article came out.

I remember when this happened. Violentacrez himself showed up in one of the threads that didn’t get nuked and tried to defend himself. I remember his (heavily down-voted) comments all being surrounded by dozens and dozens of [deleted] comments — presumably people attacking him for being a pedo piece of shit.

I’d never heard of the guy before, but I was so disgusted by the story and by his attempts to justify himself that I went back through weeks of his old posts, down-voting everything.

The next day, I came back to a week-long temp ban from Reddit for vote manipulation. Fuckers.

he lauded Reddit as being “for humans by humans” and seemed to take a subtle dig at AI slop (the low-quality AI content clogging corners of the internet)

That’s pretty funny coming from the CEO of a platform that was already overrun by low-effort bots even before AI slop became a thing…

Exactly. Obama is probably the best stump speakers America has ever seen and he’d be of great value to any campaign by doing more of that… but he really should not be shaping policy.

The American working class really does want ‘Hope and Change’, but Obama ain’t that

I can’t eat half of the ingredients anymore, but damn, this used to be a favorite.

Instead of rice or lentils, I’d mix in some orzo and let that cook right in the soup. Heaven.

Damn, it’s crazy how aggressively Incels always tell on themselves…

No.

AOC the SML of the USA

To an extent, I think that’s already happening. ChatGPT5 released with a huge amount of hype, but when users started playing with it, it was incredibly underwhelming — and flat-out worse than 4 in many cases… all while burning though even more tokens than ever. Definitely seems like that capabilities of this technology have hit a plateau that won’t be solved with more training.

OpenAI optimistically believes it might start being profitable in 2029.

Which is absolutely buck wild when you consider they’ve already signed contacts to spend another trillion dollars over the next five years.

How the fuck is a company that has $5 billion in revenue today going to grow that revenue by at minimum $995 billion by 2029? There’s just no fucking way, man…

Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots

But do they actually?

Honestly, it seems like the only ‘source’ for any of these “MAGA in shambles!” stories are just a few angry posts on Twitter or whatever. By and large, the MAGAts (besides a few notable exceptions like MTG) appear to be as happy and as united as ever.

Absolutely.

I’d recommend diving into this for a more scientifically ‘thought out’ and optimistic extrapolation: https://www.orionsarm.com/

Man… if the Technopocolpyse is what you consider optimistic, I’d hate to find out what you consider pessimism!

Because it is. Fuck off, Wendy’s.

The support of viewers like you

Exactly. This is a lady who quit the Catholic Church and was re-baptized as an evangelical just because she was so disgusted by the child sex abuse scandal. This is a hill she’s willing to die on — willing to kill on, even.

People who are overly concerned with their level of intelligence, especially when that concern is measured relative to other people’s intelligence.

In other words, if you spend a lot of time anxious about whether or not you’re the smartest person in the room, then you’re not the smartest person in the room.

The September that lasted 32 years…

Alas, the damage is done and there’s no going back.
