  • I know guys, let’s like all form a resistance group and we’ll all meet downtown on Thursday at 6 o’clock. That way we’re all done with work and everything and we’ll have a big fucking meeting. Like every resister, all over the country, we’re all gonna meet downtown.

    Think about it. There will be too many of us for the cops to do anything about it.

    Like, even though they’ll know where we are and when we’re gonna be there, it’ll be all of us versus only however many of them can actually show up.




  • I like the first one and the last one, but I simply cannot make it through the two towers. I tried reading the book, and I had to give up, and it’s one of the few books I’ve ever quit reading in my life.

    Just the infinite rambling about the hills and the trees and the trees and the hills and the hills and the trees and they stop to eat and sing and then the hills and the trees and the trees and the hills, it makes my brain revolt and threaten to start throwing molotovs.

    And the first three quarters of the movie was so boring to me that if my girlfriend at the time had not been there to make out with me in the drive in I would have lost it.






  • I do tech support for a few different law firms in my area, and AI companies that offer document ingest and processing are crawling out of every crack.

    Some of them are pretty good and they take into account the hallucination issues and offer direct links to the quotes that they’re pulling and I mean it’s an area where things are developing and soon it should be easier for a lawyer to put on more cases or to charge less per case because being a lawyer becomes so much easier.

    For instance, there are soft science, social interaction areas where AI is doing wonders.

    Specifically, in the field of law, now that lawyers have learned not to rely on AI for citations, they are instead offloading hundreds of thousands or millions of pages of documents that they were never actually going to read, and getting salient results from allowing an AI to scan through them to pull out interesting talking points.

    Pulling out these interesting talking points and fact checking them and, you know, A/B testing the ways to interact and bring them in front of the jury with an AI has made it so that many law firms are getting thousands or millions of dollars more on a lawsuit than they anticipated.

    And you may be against American law for all of its frivolous plaintiffs’ lawsuits or something, but each of these outcomes are decided by human beings, and there are real damages that are lifelong that are being addressed by these lawsuits, or at least in some way compensated.

    The more money these plaintiffs get for the injuries that they have to live with for the rest of their lives, the better for them, and AI made the difference.

    Not that lawyers are fundamentally incapable or uncaring, but for every one, I don’t know who the fuck is a super lawyer nowadays, but you know, for every, you know, madman lawyer on the planet, there’s 999 that are working hard and just do not have the raw plot armor Deus Ex Machina dropping everything directly into their lap to solve all of their problems that they would need to operate at that level.

    And yes, if you want to be particular, a human being should have done the work. A human being can do the work. A human being is actually being paid to do the work. But when you can offload grunt work to a computer and get usable results from it that improves a human’s life, that’s the whole fucking reason why we invented computers in the first place.

    I have been told that the reason their publically available training, problem solving, and educational material is so terrible is because there is a secret printed guidebook somewhere that makes everything make sense and if everyone had it it could negatively impact the windows economy.

    I do not know if that is true, but I have been told it and it does kind of explain why sites like learn.microsoft.com are so terrible that I would rather reread the world book encyclopedia 1969 edition from A to Z including the index than try to figure out how to run a single powershell command from the educational materials available on that site.
