    Generative AI is not “just a tool,” but you sound like a tool when you say it is.

    The outcome of the American election was manipulated by a clever hack called &quot;voting,&quot; which is enabled by exploiting a critical vulnerability known as &quot;people giving a shit.&quot;

    Do that thing I like. The one where you go to the polling place before it closes and vote.

    I’m fed up with all of these radical leftists and their extreme policy positions, like “Healthcare” and “People with more money than they could ever spend should pay a little bit of taxes sometimes” and “Maybe the planet could be a little less on fire.”

    When I search a pharmacy’s website for guaifenesin, 14 of the first 15 search results should NOT be for ibuprofen. I’m not a doctor, but I feel REALLY FUCKING CONFIDENT that medication is not somewhere you should be playing “People who shopped for X also shopped for Y” games.

    Halloween has ended, but deep below the arctic, an undead horror begins to stir in his ancient tomb. “Ho. Ho. Ho,” he rasps.

    Ok—everyone checked your gear? You all reviewed the map? Everybody knows their job? Good! Now remember: down there, you are going to see some crazy shit. Clocks moving backward. Time repeating itself. Delusions about farmers and schoolchildren. But stay focused! If we stick to the plan, if we keep our wits about us, and if we’re very, very lucky—then my friends, when I see you again on the other side? We will have SAVED DAYLIGHT.

    Many are rightly asking, &quot;And who created this &#39;supply-constrained environment,’ Sammy?&quot; But Altman and his peers aren&#39;t facing a component crisis. Orders for GPUs are piling up for data centers that may or may not be built, but there aren&#39;t lines of customers waiting for them to come online. No business outside of an AI lab is being throttled by lack of access to cloud inference. There isn&#39;t a single customer with money in hand, willing to pay what it actually costs, w...

    “AI is inevitable and it’s changing everything. You need to get on board now, or you’re going to be left behind,” said the NFT-based avatar of the crypto bro, broadcasting in a Clubhouse stream from somewhere in the metaverse.

    There’s an old story about a child picking up starfish that have washed up on the beach and putting them back in the ocean. A passerby points out this won’t matter, because there are thousands of them. The kid holds one up and says, “Well, it matters to this one.” I grow tired of arguing with people on the internet who won’t save any starfish if we can’t save them all. Who willfully conflate “This won’t solve everything” with “This changes nothing.” (This post is not actually about starfish.)

    You need to update your priors. Copying things off of the internet has come a long way in the last few months. Copying things off of the internet is the future. If you aren&#39;t on board with copying things off of the internet, you&#39;re going to be left behind. There&#39;s a non-zero chance that copying things off of the internet will wipe out humanity. But copying things off the internet will also cure cancer and eliminate work. Which is why we have to keep copying things off of the internet...
