Oh, completely agreed. I only say it because I want to fight the actual fight. Labels be damned, the fucker is acting like one, has the power of one, has full immunity from the law and a court of sycophants.

So, he may not have the title, but he sure acts like one. So, let’s fight him like one.

Can’t it be both? All the worlds current biggest problems are caused by this techbro disruptive bullshit. Door dash and AI are from the same ecosystem.

Reality would beg to differ.

We had our chance, and this country chose this path. Every bit of this was telegraphed, nothing that is happening should be a surprise.

Your friends, relatives and neighbors all enthusiastically voted for this to happen (mine too). Do not let them forget.

Following in my dad’s footsteps.

It takes a bit of time to find the right distro and that is the biggest obstacle to linux imo.

It’s also the greatest benefit. Vanilla stuff works out of the box for most, but once you need more, there’s a paved runway headed in any direction you want to go (some in better shape than others to be fair).

Windows and OS X are certainly wider runways, but there are cliffs off the side of you want to change direction.

Good things usually take time, but you will know where you are when you get there.

Yep, I use Dr. Bronners for everything. Especially when camping, when it’s: hair, face & body, toothpaste, shaving cream, dish detergent, bug repellant, emergency lubricant (stuck stoves, tentpole, etc), laundry soap, and anything else I can find to use it for.

Sorry for the tired gif, but this is my exact reaction.

It’s a start, but there is so much more work to do, and people will need to learn to live with their heads outside of their asses. Sadly most folks seem to think the midterms are the one weird trick that will allow them to shove it straight back up…

This shit drives me up a wall. The local, formerly awesome pizza place switched to DoorDash for delivery and it has sucked ever since. Pizza arrives cold since door dash drivers don’t have insulated bags, half the time they chuck it on the front porch and it sits there on the cold concrete even longer.

Delivery driver was always a reliable stoner job, I had so many friends in my youth who delivered pizza. Despite the cloud of weed smoke that came with the pizza, it was always hot and fast. They were motivated to get those tips after all.

Pretty much exactly the same as me, which is why I posted it :).

Now they need to preserve salad fingers. I’m still creeped out by it and so should future generations.

The problem with AI is not the aesthetics of what it produces. AI can provide good, bad, beautiful, ugly, smart, stupid, etc. What people hate about it is not the artifact, it’s the fact that it took no talent or skill for, but is being claimed as a work of value. Monet spent his life perfecting his style, and did so with likely visual impairments. His art was never about perfection, it was about emotion and a display of what he could accomplish through his life of creativity. Goes the same, even for artists I don’t care for (I’ve always thought Jackson Pollack’s works are unpleasant). I may not like them but I can respect the effort, and dedication.

AI are has none of that. The work was done long in advance, by the vast training materials which is essentially the collective output of human creativity. Also by the people who coded the AI, figured out the math, etc. Now clowns like this fucker come along, manipulate people to prove a “point” that’s utterly pointless in the first place.

God I hate the future we’ve chosen.

Only time that happens is when I’m camping.

I’m waiting for the inevitable hantavirus parties. Gotta make sure little Timmy earns his immunity!

ding, ding, ding… It’s much more lucrative to be pursued than it is to be part of the machine. He’d be a relatively progressive republican (at least according to them) and he’d be getting criticism, instead of praise from the fascists.

It’s not that tiny, it’s at least 27%.

Lunch Discussions #145: The Crazification Factor

there’s that pesky concept that this clown ignores laws and norms, and has 2 additional branches of goverment who are dedicated to nothing more than sycophancy to him.

The US government is currently run by calvinball rules.

I bought my Bambu back when orca slicer and local network was out of the box supported. It was only a few months later that they locked out their firmware and started down this path.

I’ve been steadfastly refusing to update firmware. I hope to modify it someday but if not, I’ll just make sure it’s my last Bambu.
