The funniest part was probably them blaming anime avatars for trans people.
holy fuck, I’ve seen anti-trans accounts on mastodon spew this same shit and I’m kind of surprised it’s a wider conservative conspiracy theory and not something local to mastodon
just kidding the funniest part was the guy calling trans people the “priest class” of urbanism
leftists don’t go to church on Sundays, they just trans themselves and then bikeshed about bike sheds
a lot of projects with crypto ties have been doing this kind of hedge — they now emphasize data sovereignty instead of web3, decentralization, and other poisoned buzzwords, but they never really answer why crypto assholes would invest in a company if not to do crypto asshole shit when the time is right
fuck yes, why wasn’t my college this cool? all I got was an AI elective taught by a guy whose proudest achievement was having the only remaining Genera license on campus
this is leftist infighting between Mondayists and Tomorrow-Evaporists and I won’t allow it in this space
all the replies anthropomorphizing the LLM cause it generated something creepy and they don’t know why aren’t surprising, but for some reason this one really pisses me off:
I just checked out the conversation and it looks legit. So weird. I cannot imagine why it would generate a completion like this. Tell your brother to buy a lottery ticket.
an LLM generating absolute garbage that happens to be abusive in some way is a lottery ticket event, is it? I had no idea lottery wins happened that fucking frequently
I can’t stop, it’s like eating potato chips, and as a firm realist. I’d like to point out two things.
There are two sides: the anti-corpo leftists who eat Pringles, and the hyper “where do we sign” neo liberals who prefer doritos.
I am a firm realist. I’d like to point out two things.
There are two sides: the anti-corpo leftists of Del Taco, and the hyper “where do we sign” neo liberals of Taco Bell.
Del Taco Leftists are sure Taco Bell will literally just evaporate tomorrow, and the neo liberals are sure that the secret menu has already happened and will be revealed for Taco Tuesday.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Taco Bell literally cannot evaporate, and they are also probably struggling to design a burrito that doesn’t fucking suck. They will probably find ways to distract you with churro bites instead, as a reasonable fast food chain would.
I am a firm realist. There are two sides: the anti-corpo leftists of Blade II, and the hyper “where do we sign” neo liberals of Battlefield Earth.
Blade II Leftists are sure nighttime is literally just yellow color grading except when it’s blue or they forget to do it at all, and the neo liberals are sure that you tilt the camera and the more you tilt the camera the better the movie is.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. John Travolta literally cannot evaporate, and he is also probably struggling to improve his filmmaking. He will probably find ways to do both fucked up color grading and what he thinks are Dutch angles, but in a more subtle way.
And then Del Toro will probably send him a box of shit or live bees for Christmas.

I still can’t get over the design, engineering, and basic reasoning failures that must have gone into the decision to put supposedly the main way to change gears on the same type of mount that secures your rear-view mirror; a notably inconvenient and fragile place to put anything (and just like a rear-view mirror that got fucked with too intensely, a bunch of these shifters have already detached)
human oversigh :(
and daiquiri nominations :)
Never change (meaning this sincerely, thanks for the good mod work).
anytime!
Investigating a user for a sus body shaming post, banning them for a programming drama post.
see, I don’t know Lena’s work well enough to know if maybe “she has ballooned” is a multi-layered reference that only looks like shallow, shitty body shaming if you don’t get the in-joke
but I’m online enough to know exactly where they got that Godot dogwhistle from, and it’s not even close to being an innocent mistake
no part of me is surprised that every famous FOSS personality has a ridiculously bad age of consent take, but it is a real fucking problem that this keeps happening
