Huge Power

My “Will not confirm or deny whether involved in human trafficking” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

I have never experienced semantic satiation immediately after encountering a word for the first time in my life, but the word “glomarize” somehow made it happen.

indefensible: voting for laws
sensible: gambling for laws

DEEZ nuts!

Émile
Ziz is nuts.

I was about to ask, in what way are you a former member of the rationality community who has invested a lot, whatever that means?

What I like about this definition is that the lint in my navel is about 15% closer to AGI than OpenAI, having produced zero dollars of profit for them.

Curtis Yarvin goes to prison. He has two cellmates. He asks them why they’re there. “I helped Trump destroy the country”, one of them replies. “Well I’m here because Trump didn’t destroy the country”, Yarvin retorts. They turn to the third man, who says: “I am Donald Trump.”

No, I just have ADHD and ability to quickly switch between hyperfoci.

Can’t fucking look up the history of firearm propellant chemistry post-black power as if I’m going to use that knowledge for anything more than for what I use all the other shit I google about.

“Content”… is Whatever.

I was going to make a comment on the Stubsack thread about how it kind of ticks me off how “content creator” has permeated its way so deep into the vernacular. I can forgive it when it’s used as a clumsy term to talk about creative workers across multiple media, but something like a video essayist calling another video essayist a content creator just gives me the ick. Have some pride and solidarity in your art form, for fuck’s sake.

Also HP has so far had this kind of a reverse Midas touch where they turn every networking gear company they touch into HP.

Wendy O: Is this a generative AI collection? Not a fan of those. To me, it’s not necessarily real art.
Another whale: They’re not all the same.
Wendy O: I don’t care. It takes away from the real artist.

Wow, look at the time. It’s stopped o’clock!

The world was not ready. Or no longer ready.

HPE buys Juniper. Fuck.
