  • Ken Jennings on Doomerism/Nihilism

    Jump

  • Oh, I see what you’re saying. It’s an important distinction, and I’m glad you brought it up.

    Acknowledging a problem is sensible, and that’s not what I’m arguing against. I’m not telling people to bury their heads in the sand. I just don’t think that surrendering immediately is the answer.

  • I don’t think so. If someone has nothing more to add to a conversation than "No point discussing political opposition to fascism, there won't be elections anyway”, it’s like ignoring climate change because “we’re already screwed and there’s no way to help ourselves.”

    Denial and doomers never help. They just give people an excuse to be complacent with whatever we’re given, and disempower those who are trying to improve our situation. I refuse to let the fascists win by laying down and accepting them.

  • Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it?

  • Do you need a back brace to stand up straight, buddy? Because at this point, I am certain you haven’t got a single vertebra.

    Just want to make sure this line gets the attention it deserves.

  • I find it hilarious when huge corporations make abjectly stupid decisions like this.

  • Finland’s battle against fake news starts in preschool classrooms. It's protection against Russian propaganda.

  • It must have been nice to be free for a day. Now he’s going to feel unnecessary guilt for the rest of his life. I almost feel sorry for this hateful bastard. Almost.

  • ‘I Can’t Afford This’ Trump Voters in Rural America Stunned as Cost of Living Keeps Rising

  • It turns out that tariffs and slashing health insurance don’t actually lower your bills.

    I love the tone of this article

  • Are You Emotionally Prepared To Die?

    Jump

  • Not existing anymore. Lots of people fear that.

    Logically, I think you’re right, but I don’t know how I’d react emotionally if I end up in a situation where I have time to realize I’m about to die.

  • Are You Emotionally Prepared To Die?

    Jump

  • I would bet that a lot of the folks who think they’re emotionally prepared aren’t. That is absolutely not a criticism of anyone. Death is so final and such an enormous concept that a lot of people just can’t comprehend it until death is staring them in the face.

  • The shame of being American continues, and will only get worse. Thanks, Don.

  • Microsoft CEO wants you to stop calling AI "slop" in 2026

    Jump

  • It’s not the general public’s fault that AI was released before it was ready for prime time. It’s not like the word “slop” was picked out of a hat, either. AI earned the word with its laughably bad output.

    I’ll make the CEO a deal, though. If AIs stop producing slop, I won’t call it slop anymore.

    Microsoft Copilot is the tip of the spear for the firm, powered entirely by ChatGPT and Microsoft's savvy early investments in OpenAI.

    “Savvy”? Really? I think it’s years too early to make that assessment.

    Indeed, in closing, Nadella seems to admit that AI doesn't truly have "societal permission" right now, referencing widespread backlash and mockery that continues to dog the technology.

    What kind of “permission” is he looking for? Permission to steal and ignore copyright? Permission to build untold numbers of data centers and do vast environmental damage? Permission to lie and sell a substandard product? He probably wants all three, and more.

  • After 44 Years, MTV Is Officially Dead

  • I liked MTV when they told us about cool stuff. Their street cred evaporated when they tried to dictate what was cool.

  • Hmm. He’s trying to make some kind of point, but only succeeds in making himself look like a jackass. There’s a lot of that going around.
