Isn’t 90% of IG Influencing just makeup tutorials anyway?

Oh shit, he’s good. He DDOS’d me right back.

Two sticks you can rub together.

Yes.

Was very confused, because I thought this was Rodger Sterling from Mad Men for a minute.

If school house rock was composed by a sociopath.

what if they’re a CEO?

the nature of their labor

WTYP. The most famous CEOs don’t work. They just exploit the work of others.

“You can GET RICH QUICK! with this ONE NEAT TRICK! if you’re willing to coughdo a huge bit of gray market work in a high risk industry for a very long timecough and then YOU’LL BE SET FOR cougha very shortcough LIFE!”

Friendly reminder that Drug Dealers Mostly Live With Their Moms and the average camgirls don’t do much better. This is a high risk, low reward industry operating in an informal economy with no labor protections that needs an enormous marketing budget in order to keep people engaged with it.

handing my friend a screwdriver

“You can use this for simple crafts and home repairs”

Me, backing away from the screwdriver in terror

“Nice try, but I know what that is. They use that thing to build the Space Shuttle.”

The NAP was always a crock of shit. There is no real rhyme or reason to it. Just a Libertarian’s way of saying “You started it!” every time they get into a physical altercation.

That’ll fade by election day. Trump’s strength comes from the deluge of right-wing media that bombards people. These debates are going to blotted from their brains - if not completely subverted by talk show re-edits and talk-overs - in another month.

There’s this bizarre assumption that debates shape public opinion rather than sharpen prior biases.

Liberals watched the debate and concluded Harris was normal and therefore won.

Conservatives watched and concluded only Trump is willing to speak The Truth to a hostile media and therefore won.

Undecideds don’t like either one of them for a variety of reasons. But nothing these two said on Tuesday really turned heads. It was classic Trump and classic Kamala.

Sleeping with your Gardevoir: Fine, normal, cool.

Sleeping with your Ralts:

Sugar is worse for you!

I’ve heard not uncompelling arguments to this effect. But I’m also not downing a 64oz big gulp every day.

I don’t think there’s a smoker alive who doesn’t know it’s bad for them

I wish this was true. But I live in a country full of people who are more afraid of vaccines than horse roundworm drugs.

There’s still a rump base of Americans convinced climate change, seat belts, dinosaur bones, and warnings on cigarette boxes are an evil trick by the communists in government.

You all simply don’t know the incredible sensation of a ninja poisoning your coffee right after sex.

I’m not sure what people think AI was ever going to be…

The heavy investment in AI is coming under the assumption that these advanced processes will replace huge portions of the human workforce.

So we don’t need lawyers, because we just put prompts into a Law AI and it gives us a verdict. We don’t need doctors, because we just put symptoms into a Medical AI and it gives us a diagnosis and treatment plan. We don’t need salespeople, because we just put the product into a Marketing AI and it spits out a bunch of comvincing ad copy.

the concept of what a brain is will probably be questioned as well.

We already connect our brains to our computers. We just use screens and keyboards as our interface.

I suppose you could argue that a guy with a calculator or a camera or a chat app is mentally different than one without it. But I think the goal with AI is supplementing human minds, not complementing then.

So much of the drift has just been marketing. Rebranding a Markov Chain stapled onto a particularly large graph as Master Computer from Tron.

You’re the problem. It’s you.
