She ran an appalling campaign that belonged in the 20th Century. Tory HQ seemed to know they had a dud on their hands right from the start. They are in collapse.

Mark Zuckerberg, of the successful Meta vision that has not gone away at all?

Techno-hypeists are so desperate to keep the #AI #hype going that they are willing to pretend that Zuckerberg's ideas are destined to succeed.

On the subject of Trump’s dementia, the press remains tongue-tied. Fortunately, Doonesbury’s veteran psychologist is here to help. He brings receipts.

Our particular brand of American neo-Fascism is born of “individualism” and the belief that the world is hard and cruel but one can persevere.

They will cheer cruelty: towards LGBTQ folks, POC, the poor, and even puppies (literally). Their rhetoric makes it clear that when they view the world as being too easy, they feel the righteous call to make the cruelty themselves.

This is why they have such a persecution fetish. They view themselves as uniquely suffering and everyone else as having an easy privileged life to justify “restoring” hardship to the rest of us.

Trump is a fundamentally broken, sick individual.

He was elected to power by a fundamentally broken, sick country, where the majority are at the mercy of a myopic, petty, sclerotic minority who have worked hard for decades to create a cult of greed and death.

Trump is the Pontifex of Greed and Death, the GOP is his Church, and Kristi Noem wants to be his Dog-Killing Whore of Babylon. Evangelicals, rejoice!

My heart goes out to Nebraska! I hope your recovery is quick and I hope no one was hurt.

I have seen pictures of a house that is just... wreckage.

Please stay safe and help people out if they need it y'all.

JFC, people in tech are really out there saying that language models will be better at therapy, financial advice, and career advice than trained people.

WTF is wrong with you people? Do you really have no clue about what other people’s jobs actually involve?

Language models can’t even do maths how are they supposed to get good at financial advice?

And therapy? Just… 😑

What’s wrong with people in tech?
