This seems common. I’m not even a gamer, but a past horrible girlfriend would get enraged that I spent 45 minutes (about as long as I ever spent as I get migraines after that) playing Unreal Tournament. Meanwhile, she would spend 6-7 hours straight on eBay.
When called out on it she’d say that, “It’s different.” Different, how? In UT, I spent zero money. She spent thousands on eBay and other sites like that.
So glad I’m done with terrible partners.
Exactly. Everyone on both sides of the debate is so solipsistic that no one talks about what’s actually happening. And what’s actually occurring is (as usual) all I care about.
The question, “Does AI act and think exactly like a human?” is idiotic. Clown-level thinking. “Does a submarine swim like a fish?” Who gives a fuck? The doofshit left is so concerned with calling AI a “plagiarism machine”and retrenching corporate copyright power in an extremely poorly-considered rearguard action against AI that they never even consider what’s really in store for the future or even what’s happening right under their always-upturned noses.
The real question is, “To what extent will AI replace human labor?” And, “What are the consequences of AI use, in the politico-economic sense and socioculturally?” (Etc.)
AI and all the implications and complications thereof is not going away. The Bluesky clowns can screech all they like about their poorly-conceptualized understanding of plagiarism and how AI works but the incontestable fact is that AI is here and MBAs are going to use it even where it makes zero sense. That is now inevitable (absent Butlerian Jihad).
Time to deal with it like adults, not like whiny petulant children.
What do you think is quietly disappearing from modern life?
Despite the request, mine is privacy and that it has any value. Most Gen Z seem perfectly willing to shovel over any personal data or details with zero thought and portray you as the naïve loser if you refuse to do the same.
Meanwhile, they are the biggest prudes in history. Make it make sense.
If all men had to be brutally honest for 24 hours, what would women be shocked to learn?
Not an issue in my current relationship, but no, in fact I wasn’t checking that other girl out. I quite literally didn’t even see her. I was staring into space thinking about the random crap I always think about and she happened to walk in front of me.
If you asked me what she looked like or what she was wearing, I’d have no damn idea. Leave me alone.
What about Warry War: Gettin’ Our War On. I think that’s after Tokyo Drift.
What’s a telltale sign that a male character was written by a woman?
These are good. Women are generally just as bad at writing male characters as vice versa — it’s just that men are considered disposable so no one gives a crap.
#Metoo harmed more men who did nothing wrong than it helped anyone. Because it came to be about PMC women’s dating grievances and disappointments as well as about keeping undesirable men away from those PMC women. If you spoke up against it, as Dave notes, you were branded a woman-hating monster.
No one was ever held accountable for this. Ghouls like Moira Donegan got to lob accusations with impunity after they were disappointed that they were not the most specialest girl after all. And not a single person faced any consequences for the harm they caused.
A lot of the people on the receiving end of that understandably left the Dems, never to return.
"If you give AI a hard enough question, it can't do it, therefore AI can't actually reason" is kind of a wild take if you think about it. https://t.co/JhTqtfOCv1

That paper is clownish. Anyone who treats it as credible is clownish.
And I am by no means an AI enthusiast. But dumb is dumb.
Arguing that the Enlightenment or the Renaissance did not occur because people at the time did not call it those things is — and I cannot stress enough — fucking idiotic.
A river exists whether or not you call it a “river.” And the agricultural revolution still occurred no matter what it was named post-hoc1. Names are irrelevant in this context. The events and the turn and transition of history is all that matters.
Arguing that the Enlightenment did not happen because no one sat up in bed one morning and declared, “Hey, motherfuckers, it’s the Enlightenment! Ain’t this some shit!” is just not serious scholarship; it’s specious clownery based on what something is named rather than what is actually occurring in reality. Politics cannot be divorced from history. Nevertheless, claiming that something does not exist because it does not seem fair or does not comport with your idea that all humans are exactly the same all the time is a poor way to practice your craft. And wrong.
This comment is horribly depressing.
From what I’ve read, though, this is incredibly common among the under-25s. In addition to their illiteracy, they depend on AI to do nearly all of their thinking.
We’re not headed for a very nice future, are we?
If I were single now, there’s no chance I’d date in the US. I’d absolutely become the despised-by-feminists1 Passport BroTM.
It’s the only reasonable response to American women’s insane standards and lack of accountability and reciprocity. And yes, that’s true even if you meet those standards. Why choose from a clapped-out cupboard of cheap and crappy goods when you can just…not do that.
And no, when I was in China I was not a Passport BroTM. I slept with no one and turned four different women down.
A lot more people need to get on some Ozempic and hit the gym, dang.
All of y’all mooks who cannot find any good new music, the problem is with you and not with the music.
Trust.
Language policing has reached a completely senseless nadir, I see.
I propose replacing “smoke test” with “slap the ugly baby test.” That way it offends everyone equally. Let’s do this.
The Covidians are still obsessed with masks.
I’m sure there’s interesting sociology there. That I just do not care about.
