JD Vance is probably among us as we speak. He could be any username…

Is he you?

I wish, but no.

Covert conversion therapy by setting you up with the absolute worst humanity has to offer.

Fyi our album is now on streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple, Youtube, etc) under Constellation ATX.

If anything, it's cringe rather than sneer-inducing. But fun anyway.

Most of the time, if I'm listening to anything, it's a playlist of Boards of Canada on shuffle - usually while I work.

Otherwise, my music taste is pretty stalled these days wrt new music. Unwound got back together and I saw a couple of their shows, one in LA and another in Austin. The Blood Brothers also reunited and I have a ticket to see them in Dec. Melt-Banana just released a new album I haven't listened to yet.

My friend's band, Yuppie Killer, released their discography on streaming sites. They're a hardcore punk band of expats in South Korea from 2012-2017.

I play in a band, Constellation, and we're sending our first album to be mastered this week. Kind of throwback to 90's post-hardcore like Fugazi (yeah, we got cowbell) and Drive Like Jehu. Really excited about it.

The details of how the software was programmed should be legally irrelevant.

Why? Programmers should be legally liable for what they program.

"Surely Google will make a smart decision" is a hill surrounded by corpses.

Matt Yglesias Considered As The Nietzschean Superman

How is anyone able to read this article beyond this "Charlie Brown Had Hoes"-ass title?

watching Austin Energy capping my A/C and deciding to become a rabid supporter of Yud's call to airstrike data centers

 

Really, it was the headlines of Google's AI Overview pulling Reddit shitposts that inspired the return. If Reddit is going to sell its data to Google, then, you know, maybe flood the zone with sludge?

Christ, there's so much backstory here - just scrolling through long descriptions of Gerard's views and just thinking "based, based, based, based."

it's an empty paper bag left in an empty parking garage

 

Someone I was following on TikTok, whose takes on tech industry bullshit and specifically AI hype I respected, made a video that Roko's basilisk is a serious concern. My apologies to those who have been in this same situation when I was less sympathetic.

 
 

Eliezer Yudkowsky @ESYudkowsky If you're not worried about the utter extinction of humanity, consider this scarier prospect: An AI reads the entire legal code -- which no human can know or obey -- and threatens to enforce it, via police reports and lawsuits, against anyone who doesn't comply with its orders.
