Algorithms are built by human beings, they’re not impartial

Silicon Valley is operated by techies, 90% of whom don’t operate in the “real world” and thinking programming and coding makes them gods

To say they’re “out of touch” would be understatement. They’re barely human

I don’t agree with Cortes on much (mainly follow him for his fitness stuff), but this is 100% true. The left right now thinks they are doing great and grand things by banning some real Nazis and “Nazis.” What they are doing in reality is a grand exercise in self-harm.

This is because in the future, it’ll mostly be the left getting de-platformed and banned. Currently, it’s trans ideology that’s being used as the cudgel to discard people on the left but that’s already expanding. Right now, it is admittedly about 60% conservatives being banned and canned, but I expect that to switch to about 90% left in a year or so with no return to the previous near-parity.

Dangerous road, with more risks than rewards.

I’d be much more likely to want to take up a vegetarian or vegan diet if nearly every single person advocating that didn’t look like a pasty, palsied weakling on the verge of anemia and death.

Not a good advertisement for the cause, really.

I can no longer find the article, but some clueless tech bro said that poetry was just “random word association,” like a neural network.

Motherfucker, no. Just no. That’s not even a bad take. It’s a take so monumentally clueless that some being in another solar system is saying, “What a dipshit” under its argon breath.

It should be noted that the Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger pseudo-foods are chock full of seed oils, which appear to be pretty bad for your heart and circulatory system.

It bothers me more than it should when I see people wheezing and exhausted merely from walking from the parking lot into an office or workplace.

This is not normal, no matter what the Fat Acceptance movement claims.

Also, the screen door it turns out was a really bad idea.

Mine is that we should be engaging in massive and authoritarian population control measures as the only real hope of avoiding possible mass extinction in 50-150 years.

Sure, I recognize the human rights issues. But it’s either that or we’re goners.

Humanity Is About to Kill 1 Million Species in a Globe-Spanning Murder-Suicide.

Great and accurate headline.

A lot of people don’t seem to realize the fix we’re in. They’ll learn, though, or their children will.

At least 50% of people’s computer “problems” could be solved if they’d literally just read what is right on the screen.

I will never understand that. Never.
