So many people have gone thru so much worse but the way the m'lady meme guy was treated for the crime of 1. Being fat 2. Enjoying his own fashion choices was fucking awful.

its crazy how many people but more specifically mostly men out there are so solipsistic that they can't imagine that beauty actually is subjective. like they just assume that features they find appealing are by default just innately more beautiful on an objective quantifiable metric.

honestly i get why elizabeth holmes is convinced she got martyred because you have to think about it from her perspective, literally the entire valley runs on guys just running their mouths until another guy buys them out and turns their scamup into a data services provider and then eventually that guy sells it to jeff bezos, why couldn't it happen for her too? oh suddenly the medical establishment is too good for a para industry of scam bespoke home lab testing that tells you nothing validated? suddenly everyone has not been caping for the mormon dna race science or the gut microbiome fascists or the psychiatry fandom spit testing? it's so much worse to give your blood to a blonde woman recreationally? vengeance for her & anna delvey.

one of the most frustrating subgroups here is people who have made no attempt to curate a sense of taste and get threatened by and lash out at people who have. like its not enough for them to enjoy wildly successful mainstream media, they need to be able to enjoy it without ever feeling self conscious for this. and you can make them self conscious about it just by straightforwardly talking about your own subjective preferences for less broadly appealing works. i feel bad for them because if you can only like stuff as long as majority consensus said its good youre just hardlocking yourself out of 90% of media on the planet. must suck to feel like any complete stranger with a blog has the capacity to prevent you from enjoying the kind of art you like.

its gonna be so nuts when our generation of old people is shuffling around with big stupid meme tattoos imagine being a personal support specialist in 2080 and peepaw has a bee movie script sleeve and youre twenty years old and delivering pills like dude what is that and he goes Its from a movie about a jerry seinfeld bug lusting after a human woman who looks like flo from progressive who is still a prominent american cultural figure and you say OK and then you help him plug into his VR headset to play for2nite the sequel to fortnite and he mains former president hunter biden and then you go on lunch break and pay $75 for a ham and cheese sandwich

you have to preface things like this with disclaimers that you are not pro-ai for people incapable of critical thinking but: its so awesome how much people post about AI having no soul and lacking humanity and merely mimicking some sort of innate Humanness while failing to address or contend with the fact that a lot of people are seemingly making work indistinguishable from the statistical average spit up by a computer.

guys as much as I believe ai will never in a million years reach the kind of ubiquity its snake oil salesmen want us to believe it will, it will not be going down in history alongside NFTs and the metaverse as a complete embarrassing failure in the same way and you're probably setting yourself up for disappointment waiting for it to happen. because the thing about NFTs and the metaverse is they were literally just rebrands of worse versions of stuff that already existed but, regardless of how you feel about what it does, gen ai actually Does do something. even if you don't want it to be it was a legitimate technical breakthrough. unlike "what if adoptables were on the blockchain" or "what if second life was shovelware"

so. i just learned that my entirely me-written resume flags as being AI-written by automated HR systems for a few writing quirks and the fact that i followed all the rules of good resume writing, which is apparently a telltale sign of AI use in this fucking hellworld. i've been desperately applying to jobs that i am massively overqualified for for months with no response, not even an interview, and now i find out that at least part of the reason is because some fucking moron decided that following the rules every career advisor has given me for a decade means i cheated and should be disqualified. the ai bubble cannot pop soon enough. what the actual fuck.

it's really interesting how the online content ecosystem is now so heavily just information for its own sake without any actual point

clinical medicine is simple, basically the way it works is 99.999% of doctors don't know anything at all, so they only treat the 10–15 most common problems in their specialty. this might sound bad, but actually it's better, because 99.999% of patients don't have any complex medical problems anyway, which we know because they've never been diagnosed with anything except the 10–15 most common problems in the relevant specialty, because in order to be evaluated for something else they would have to be referred to one of the 0.001% of doctors who occasionally know something about some other condition, but they can't get that referral because they obviously don't need it because they've only been diagnosed with simple problems that the other 99.999% of doctors evaluate. so as U can see it's really about ensuring every patient gets the best possible care.

9 out of 10 times I see people on here celebrating a new "landmark piece of anti-AI legislation" the legislation in question is inevitably some variation of "we propose making IP laws more restrictive but presented through the language of opposing AI". But that one from germany about holding google liable for the words of its AI overview feature is legitimately good I think. If they actively choose to shove that thing in everyone's face as the first thing they're going to see when they make a google search then they shouldn't be able to dodge accountability for the information it provides with a little "gemini AI can be inaccurate, please remember to double-check information teeheehee" disclaimer.

the germany ruling is good because it's targeting something that's bad to do whether it's done by an AI or a human
