Back in college I bought weed from a townie. Starting January 1st anytime you bought from him he would include a raffle ticket in your bag of weed. On 4/20 he threw a big 420 party in a public park which was my dealer and all his other customers, which was a lot of other townies and a handful of smaller dealers that source from him. He had a bunch of games and stuff organized and everyone was smoking weed just out in public (this was well before weed was legalized in most places).

This one guy who I think was a dealer introduced himself as “Uncle Eddie,” which sounds like the name of your weird relative that nobody lets near the kids at Thanksgiving, but I digress. He had the words “PUNK” and “ROCK” tattooed on the knuckles of each of his hands. Randomly throughout the conversation he’d tell you to pound it and offer a fist. After awhile I figured out that if he liked or respected something you said, he’d let you pound the “ROCK” fist, if he didn’t like it he’d have you pound the “PUNK” fist. I did not feel comfortable at any point during our conversation.

Anyway, the last event was the raffle and me and my roommates won the prize of a quarter pound of weed. I distinctly remember my dealer handing it to me and saying “congratulations now you’re a felon, man.” It was the dirtiest, reggiest, seed-filled bag of weed I’d ever seen in my life. If I had to guess it was probably about 50% seeds by weight. We tried to smoke some when we got home but it was so awful. It made some pretty decent brownies though.

“We’re gonna eliminate your jobs, use up all your clean drinking water, quadruple your energy costs, expand mass surveillance, and slowly drive you insane with infrasound!”

And somehow CEOs and billionaires are still scratching their heads trying to figure out why normal Americans aren’t pumped about this.

You really need to break up Google, Amazon, Meta, and the other gigantic internet companies. There’s a relatively small collections of massive companies that have too much sway over how the internet works and are ubiquitous enough to facilitate mass surveillance and micromanaging what content people are exposed to. The reason the internet doesn’t benefit us and is antithetical to our wants and needs is because it’s setup to bring value to the companies’ shareholders.

Basic manners and politeness is a loose protocol of sorts. The following is a basic exchange between two people using please to request something, a response, followed by thank you and you’re welcome to wrap up the exchange. We do it that way because that’s the polite way of doing things, in other words it’s the expected protocol.

Can I please have X?

Yes you may.

Thank you!

You’re welcome!

Frank bangs Charlie’s mom (a lot).

Frank, Charlie, and Dennis all bang the waitress.

Dennis tries to bang Mac’s mom.

Frank and Mac both try to bang Dee and Dennis’ Aunt Donna.

I think Frank bangs Dee and Dennis’ cousin Gail the Snail

But all of these are one off bits rather than being part of a larger arc or plotline, so I think it still fits the spirit of the question.

The government acquiring private businesses? Thank goodness these republicans are saving us from communism! /s

You really think a MAGA conservative would do that? Just go out in the world and be a gigantic hypocritical piece of filth?

openai … claims

so your claim … isn’t really correct

A company selling a product made an unsubstantiated claim to market their product… Therefore any contradictory claim is assumed to be false?

If you think this passes for sound logic then I’m sure whatever Chat-GPT can do passes for acceptable math to you.

If it happened, it would be happening.

probably make at least a couple mad enough to really fuck some shit up.

Doesn’t matter if they’re mad or not. The company is demanding they use LLMs to vibe code their products, shit’s about to be fucked even if they get on board.

Probably?

We’re going to have supervision. Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there’s a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.

That’s from Larry Ellison about a year and a half ago

Elon Musk has an estimate net worth over 800 billion dollars. If you were an immortal born in the year 1AD, earned $1,000,000 every single day and never spent a single cent you would still not be as wealthy as him. There is absolutely no justification for any single human being to have that much money.

If they’re ranking you based on AI usage, they’re going to use that when they make decisions about raises and promotions. It may be a stupid contest but the employees are part of it whether they like it or not.

You can bet your ass I’d be trying to pad my numbers.
