You could have fooled me with all the establishment democrats backing Andrew Cuomo (a sex pest) over Zohran Mamdani.

Marilyn Monroe singing Happy Birthday Mr. President comes to mind as well.

I don't know why people want to pin it on party rather than people with power often exploit that power for sexual attraction. It's a power and control thing, not a party thing.

Now? Pretty sure abusing women is part and parcel to US governance for most of it's fucking history.

I'm not even near the fires and I've been cooped up inside for days because the AQI is insanely bad all over the state.

The fact that the US has turned literally everything into something you can gamble on really shows how much of a failure of a society the US truly is.

The social contract has been dead for 50 years and yet people younger than fifty still out there acting like nothings wrong, and all you need to do is "get a better job" and everything will be fine.

Man I'm not sure getting a better job is gonna help me escape climate change exacerbated wildfires, nor the gambling markets that incentivize arson.

and providing you take into account that it cannot plan ahead for contingencies or consider negative possible outcomes. they have no sense of the past or the future, existing entirely within the moment of a prompt.

It's path down the hill was algorithmically determined but it's actually a black box so I can't tell you why it followed the path it did at all actually.

Yeah, this "similar enough sounding domain name" tactic is far from new, and they must just be using new SEO tricks to get their sites to surface to users, that or illegitimate ad services promoting them.

I dunno, the GameStop Bros are still waiting for MOASS. So I'd say the wealthy have more ways to keep the plates spinning than we wish they did.

You know what, burn the whole fucking planet down. I'm done with this clown-ass species.

I just dont even know what to say about the intentional destruction of knowledge

I mean not defending Altman, but... aging in general does that, yes.

He was in his mid thirties now he's in his early 40's and his hair is graying... shocker I know.

But anyway, this is really hurtful to people who are just letting themselves age gracefully because it implies that they too must be conmen like Altman.

Edward Zitron has been reading all of google's internal emails that have been released as evidence in the DOJ's antitrust case against google.

This is the story of how Google Search died, and the people responsible for killing it.

The story begins on February 5th 2019, when Ben Gomes, Google’s head of search, had a problem. Jerry Dischler, then the VP and General Manager of Ads at Google, and Shiv Venkataraman, then the VP of Engineering, Search and Ads on Google properties, had called a “code yellow” for search revenue due to, and I quote, “steady weakness in the daily numbers” and a likeliness that it would end the quarter significantly behind.
