It’s not enough, guys. Just about everyone with a 401(k) or a pension is giving us truckloads of money, but it’s not enough. We’re cooking the books, but it’s not enough. We’re paying OpenAI to buy our GPUs and IT’S STILL NOT FUCKING ENOUGH.

It must be the AI doomers. Those morons, those Luddites! AI has amazing benefits, like agreeing with people so hard they go insane, or counting the letters in “strawberry”, or undressing children! And those people think the same technology could cause the end of the world?

Those doomers are definitely the paper jam in the money printer. We gotta get rid of them. Then the money can really flow in!

Even better, they might not even be selling all the ones they’ve already made: https://unusualwhales.com/news/burry-demands-proof-of-warehoused-nvidia-gpus-ai-bubble-warning-hits-hard

Ah, see, you think you heard that MAGA was going to “release the Epstein files” but what they actually said was “we’re going to release the Epstein pedophiles.” Yeah, they’re letting everyone involved with him off the hook.

Thank you! Seeing a picture of Lawrence Krauss in a NYT article like this…god. It sustains me. See also this Rebecca Watson video: https://youtu.be/VNLdyWPAz18 wherein she talks about just how gross he is. Truly, we are lions led by donkeys. How these people manage to fail upward is really something to behold.

She has well and truly earned every stress-induced illness, every sleepless night, every mental breakdown she experiences. May she singularly feel all the hardship she has caused others.

Fuck that, lean in! Generate a fake profile with ChatGPT. You’re not an IT drone, you got a Wharton MBA. You spent 10 years volunteering as a street sweeper for Doctors Without Borders in Port-au-Prince before you got your big break in forensic accounting. In your spare time you enjoy carving tiny canoes out of toothpicks and staging mock naval battles with the bugs you catch as an amateur entomologist. LLMs can’t make our lives better, but we sure as shit can make them worse.

Gross as all 3 of these people are, this isn’t Bondi, according to Snopes: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-epstein-photo-bondi/

Question: is Tucker sanewashing Fuentes by giving him an in to mainstream media? Or is Fuentes “nazi-washing” Tucker and helping him out by giving him access to Fuentes’ audience? For a much better breakdown than I can give, Dan & Jordan at Knowledge Fight just covered this in episode 1089.

Tucker has already debased himself, as if that were possible, by interviewing the likes of Alex Jones (who of course has had Fuentes on his show multiple times). It’s not like he’s any more guilty by direct association. Given that 30-40% of young republican DC staffers may be groypers (not exactly a scientific poll but I mean…doesn’t this comport with recent experience), is it surprising that he’s cozying up to a literal nazi in a desperate attempt to stay relevant to the next generation of republicans?

And as Knowledge Fight (honestly pretty exhaustingly exhaustively) shows: Fuentes has been making the rounds lately. All the right-wing grifters and shitheels have had him on—they are fully on board with the sentiment. This is precisely what 4chan circa 2016 hath wrought: the old guys are still “hiding their power level” but the young republicans are out and proud nazis. This is just Tucker tapping into that base. For money.

As bleak as all that is, I still hold on to hope that there are enough of us who have resisted the brainrot and redpill propaganda enough to see these goofy assholes for what they are. Because listening to what they have to say should be a potent vaccine against their ideas. If you’ve got even a shred of humanity left in you.

It seems vaguely relevant, so I’m just going to leave this here: https://lemmy.zip/post/52118661

My rule of three: consider rewriting any article, blog, exhortation, argument, leaflet, or wiki page that uses more than three fonts, sizes, colors, or styles.

This might be the most honest thing he’s ever done.

These people are so convinced of their superiority they’ve looped back around to pure idiocy. They’re so smart, they’ve created their own vengeful god. And if you don’t believe in it, you’ll get what’s coming to you. Just you wait til GPT-666 is released.

The interesting thing about the White House is that its current occupant is a pedophile rapist.

It was so kind of Elon to open up a new public bathroom, since there’s such a shortage. Everyone in Mumbai should use the new Tesla Experience Center to really show their appreciation of him.

Stories like this just reinforce my belief that AI will destroy us all. Not with a cool robot uprising like Terminator or Blade Runner, or even enslavement of humanity like the Matrix or Wall-E. We get the stupid future, where civilization ends when a Reddit shitposter creates a Trump-flavored chatbot and convinces the joint chiefs that they need to send him the nuclear codes via Signal because you can’t text on the red phone.

He’s stupid, yes, but he surrounds himself with people who are also greedy and malicious. This is just straight-up market manipulation.

After Trump announced plans to levy tariffs on the metal, copper futures jumped as much as 17 percent, Bloomberg reported.

The play is simply to buy a bunch of futures contracts beforehand, wait for the announcement and the resulting price spike, and sell immediately for a tidy 17% gain, or hold til just before he announces yet another “extension”. How many times has this happened so far this year? It’s so tiresome.
