Biden’s latest campaign video is a Marjorie Taylor Greene speech
  • Imagine thinking those were bad things! That's close to 50% of the US voting population (and I'd like to pretend it was only them, but the rest of the world isnt necessarily better).

    How the fuck did we get here? Actually scratch that, i know that humans are greedy, tribal animals who are driven by biological urges only sometimes obscured by higher level thought. The bigger question is how the fuck did we manage to make it as far as we have?

  • Deleted
  • I don't think anyone seriously thinks you can actually get rid of cars entirely, but rather they're annoyed that everything is built around the idea that you drive everywhere. This is damaging to the environment, human health, and probably even stifles community and culture.

  • Generative AI Goes 'MAD' When Trained on AI-Created Data Over Five Times
  • This is hardly surprising. It's immediately noticeable in images, but we'll have to be very careful with other forms of output as the decline could be subtle enough to go unnoticed at first. There's a very real risk of poisoning our sources of data by allowing AI to write back to them without oversight. And given that the sources of data seem to be things like Reddit and twitter this is a real concern.

  • Let the Platforms Burn
  • I work in marketing and only recently realised how closed the internet has become. I've always held that social media can come and go, people can use messenger and Twitter and Snapchat and insta all they like but email is a always a leveller that always works - then I found out about sending reputation. There's a reason no one uses their own mail servers anymore, if you set up an email server on your own hardware then there's a good chance that your emails won't make it to the recipients behind spam filters. Basically, if you want to send emails now then you need to do it through an established service.

  • Is it rude to borrow an unused power outlet without asking?
  • Some places you're not supposed to plug anything in unless it's tested and tagged. Unlikely to be an issue in a public area, but if you're somewhere that the power getting tripped would be a safety issue then best to ask first.

  • When was the last time you were surprised by liking a piece of music?
  • I think I've learned over the years that I can like almost anything, and although I'm more likely to like music from my favourite genres, it's possible I'll like anything.

    The most recent example I can think is that an artist I like did a cover/colab of Unholy by Sam Smith and after listening a couple of times I listened to the original and found I actually prefer that.

    I also like things which are borderline not music, like The Shaggs.
