In Arizona’s U.S. Senate race, Republican Kari Lake told Politico why she feels confident in her chances, despite recent polling showing her behind Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego: “Our polling is a little different. We take polling, but we also combine it with AI, which reads all of what’s happening on social media and across the Internet.”

Edit: Found the map she’s using:

The plot of Seveneves, but worse.

It is refreshing to see the general trend of people laughing when promptbros try to paint themselves as the Wright Brothers Reborn, isn’t it?

Personally, I’d love to see the Luddites be rehabilitated as a result of the Great Bullshit Collapse. They were just regular folks fighting for dignity in work, and it’s tragic how successful the bastards have been at erasing them from history.

Very well. We shall resume in an hour.

New for him, I’d wager, but I think ESR is treading a well-worn path: i.e. a huge weirdo gets himself in trouble but then finds favor with terrible people, and ultimately suffers from audience capture.

Edit: I was wrong, it’s not new (hat tip to @Soyweiser)

Being so aggressively mid will frequently get you the mean.

Edit: Before you pedantically argue that the median != mean, I’d suggest that your posts plainly fall on the normal curve because they are all typically boring, standard deviations.

Fun fact: The Sea Lion is officially 10 years old!

I wonder if Adobe has considered cooling their new data centers with liquid nitrogen?

Cold is key to successful turd polishing.

I would argue that it is exactly in-dunce-itive reasoning

This is the Bad Place!

Excuse me, I need a lie down…

Edit: How open is this to abuse you may ask? Imagine yourself to be an evil person, such as a chickenshit conflict-averse MBA-holding manger. If you need to get rid of an employee, then feed their Connect form through the nondeterministic bullshit machine repeatedly until it gives you an excuse. It’s the perfect accountability sink + employee disposal. Employee argues? They’re failing to apply the growth mindset.

The fractal border between reality and bullshit, in a nutshell.

Wolfram refers incessantly to his “discovery” that simple rules can produce complex results.

Speculation about OpenAI: edgy or edging?

Ya know, we used to joke about Ted Cruz being an alien and recording the shape of people’s skulls, as if that were unusual.

TL;DR: Our main characters have bilked a very credulous US State Department. 100 Million tax dollars will now be converted into entropy.

yikes, good call! I couldn’t get past the Borderlands 2 vibes, but you’re right.

Right? At least it the knife missile does what it says on the tin.

Apologies in advance for the Rick and Morty reference, but Artisan seems to be roughly congruent to “Simple Rick” candy bars.

The (poorly executed) distillation of the life’s work of actually talented and interesting people, sold as a direct replacement, to fill a void that the customer doesn’t even know exists.

I thought the Raytheon ads for tanks and knife missiles in the Huntsville, AL airport were bad, but this takes the whole goddamn cake.
