Jesus, what a fuck. Having spent time in both SF and NYC my guess is that this shithead's SF pedestrian experience is getting in and out of ubers and the treadmills at equinox. That, and he is probably outwardly disdainful, which doesn't go over well in NYC.

not odd, as I think nobody cares about Booker his filibuster thing (stick a pin in that)

I agree, or at least anyone thinking critically. I think that anyone would agree that the speech was, as you said, hopium. He’s giving braindead dem voters what they want: a nice, tall, liberal man who looks like he is resisting the reds. Expect him to run for the democratic nomination in 2028, assuming the trump presidency lets an election happen.

RE: view counts. Most charitably, maybe it’s 300m views aggregated across different sources. Neutrally, I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if tiktok, or any other social media platform was manipulating view counts. Least charitably, someone probably asked an LLM for the view counts and just took the answer because people are fucking stupid

These fuckin nerds don’t care about the imitation game, they only want the imitation gams

First graph reminds me of that ‘human progress stunted by dark ages/Catholic church’ image which makes historians so mad.

But muh religon bad

The fact that the turing test is still the go-to example of a machine intelligence test goes to show that the AI field needs more haters in it.

shout out to the "legions of CCP spies", if you're listening

if you, like me, were wondering what the point of that 25 hour non-filibuster filibuster by Booker was, here’s one potential answer.

Booker held a filibuster that wasn't a filibuster - and he scheduled it to let him avoid attending his own committee's probe of his Big Tech pals. […] Oh and Booker and Dems provided unanimous consent to advance a Trump nominee right after Booker's speech.

Honestly, a couple hours over some beers might be the only way.

What's almost causing me to spiral is the commonality of socialism and communism being portrayed as on the road to monarchism. I'm not spiralling because I very quickly realise that these are all made by idiots, and/or that what they are focusing on is the perception of socialism and communism as being authoritarian.

That and "antifa fascists" in chart 4. AKA the Scists. lol

LOL it's almost as if the prerequisite to making a political compass is to be completely fucked in the head

Finally, someone has solved the political compass. No-one will ever come up with a new political spectrum again. Soon we will have world peace
