This reality is more ridiculous than even the most absurdist of fiction. If I wanted discussions with retards I'd go yell at a mirror. 🔞- get off my lawn

AI bros talking about AI before yesterday’s election vs after yesterday’s election
The differing perceptions of AI are wild. The country just voted against data centers on 40+ provisions nationwide and hates AI. (Plenty of legitimate gripes.) But most of those people are just unaware that AI is finding a new cancer cure or treatment weekly, going through decades of peer reviewed data and uncovering mountains of errors, that its correcting, throughout every academic field. Replacing billions of man hours of drudgery. Closest thing to a “miracle” I’ve ever witnessed. When I talk to people outside of tech/VC, they’re just unaware of all of it.

People who advocate for political violence seem to be suffering under the childish delusion that they can carry out political violence on others while others are not allowed to carry out political violence on them.

In Fahrenheit 451, the chief book-burner, Captain Beatty, describes how reading became obsolete because the public demanded increasingly fast-paced entertainments, and those entertainments slowly corroded their ability to think. “Books cut shorter. Condensations. Digests, tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending. Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column … Many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed, ‘Now at last you can read all the classics.’ … School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches?”
In this passage Ray Bradbury foretells the intellectual hollowing out of the working class, the advent of AI-generated “summaries” of classic novels, the attention-frying culture of short-form video, the relaxation of educational standards into non-existence. All of this in a book published in 1953.

Obsessing over politics *is* the privileged position.
Average people care about their bills and their families.
Only terminally online schizos think everything has to be College Debate shit.
The guy working at a gas station doesn't give *a fuck* about CSPAN bullshit.
I thought it was "butt" day not "favourite" day, possibly due to Grok mistranslations of Japanese posts or maybe it was a play on words lost in translation.
Thankfully, they are not mutually exclusive!
