Become a crab. Become an anteater.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation young founders as "a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes,”

Oh right, Charlie Kirk. I keep getting the two of them confused. For some reason, I keep being surprised that Shapiro is still alive and hasn’t been shot in the fucking neck.

Maybe the rest is porn.

Not a single pixel. The code, however…

As you say, tools are just tools. Even a dumb phone and CD players are “technology.” You can use a hammer to build a house, or you can use it to break into a house and kill the owner. The tool itself really doesn’t hold any sin.

Some people prefer to use older tools, though. It often gives them more of a feeling of connection, especially if we’re talking about the things they grew up with. So, there’s nothing wrong with choosing older technology just because you feel like it, either.

100% agreed. A Reddit clone with Reddit amounts of users will end up almost as bad as Reddit. The thing that makes Reddit worse in that situation is that they are a public company.

This platform would have to evolve a lot before it can deal with so many users. There has to be some significant innovation and improvement in moderation and administration, or more users would inevitably lead to endemic misinformation and power tripping and all of that shit you see on Reddit.

This is Section 3 of the 14th Amendment:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

It doesn’t require that he be convicted of anything related to an insurrection, only that he had engaged in one, which automatically gives him a disability against holding any office. Since Trump incited the insurrection, and refused to call for the National Guard to protect the houses of Congress, I think it would be a huge stretch to say that he didn’t engage in the insurrection.

Another part of the Amendment gives Congress the power to enforce the Amendment, and that is something that Congress chose not to do. That’s why Trump hasn’t been stopped from being president.

But choosing not to enforce a law doesn’t mean that it is legal to break the law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Venezuela#Requirements

According to articles 227 and 229 of the Constitution of Venezuela, adopted in 1999, the following requirements must be met in order to become President of Venezuela:

• Being a Venezuelan citizen from birth and possessing no other nationality.
• Being at least 30 years old at the time of the election.
• Not being a subject to any conviction by final judgment.
• Not being a Minister, governor, mayor, or the vice president of the Republic from the day the candidacy is announced to the day of the election.

Donald Trump doesn’t meet the constitutional requirements to be President of Venezuela.

He also doesn’t meet the constitutional requirements to be President of the United States, though, so nothing new here.

I saw an article about an artist who used AI just for overall composition, and who said that he couldn’t compete if he didn’t do this, because everyone in his field was doing it and it was significantly faster than what he used to do.

I suspect that when people say things like “AI cannot possibly help field X be more efficient like it does in field Y,” what they often really mean is, “I work in field Y and not field X.”

What’s not funny is that Elon Musk is CEO of a space travel company and what you’re describing he’s doing is almost the same thing that caused HAL 9000 to go insane in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

President Trump has created a unique political reality, largely by leading through instinct

… “leading through INSTINCT”??? I get that the article is complete bullshit, but nobody has an “instinct” to be a good president. I can guarantee that all of the best presidents in history (1) understood the importance and history of their office, (2) surrounded themselves and appointed the best talents they could find, (3) proactively tried to be the best president, and (4) stayed awake during important meetings.

The author is similarly insulting in saying “gifted athletes.” Do you know the one thing all top athletes have in common? It’s that they work their asses off. Even if they’re naturally gifted, it won’t amount to shit without putting in the work.

I bought it because everybody said it was good. I’ve tried playing it several times, and I can completely understand that it’s good, but I always end up abandoning it before a year is up in game.

Now we just need these laws worldwide.

“And Charlie Kirk would have been sitting right here when he was shot in the fucking neck.”

fancy cabinet

Maybe this is the old man in me talking, but every time I’ve had any sort of lighting in my PC or RGB in my mouse, for example, it’s just been distracting. Nobody but me ever even looks at my PC, and now, every time I see a fancy cabinet, it just looks like an eyesore to me.

Let’s see if the rats want to play global thermonuclear war.

America was founded on the concept of no taxation without representation.

I think that my definition of “resurrect” is not the same as their definition of “resurrect”.

Like, imagine that you went out and found an actress who was willing to dress up like your dead grandmother, and who would also study videos of her, and could do a perfect impersonation. I doubt anybody would say that she was “resurrected”. But this is precisely what the AI is attempting to do.

To call it a “resurrection” is an insult to her memory.
