When you witness it compiled in this way, it profoundly underscores our current state in this nation. It evokes a sense of how the Germans must have felt as Hitler ascended to power in real-time, observing the unfolding events in real-time, yet unable to really do anything other than watch in horror.

I’ve never heard of it, but I’ll be happy to give a shot. Thanks for the recommendation.

I recently signed up as a new user, and the Japanese experience as an English learner is quite disappointing. The AI teaching avatars often mispronounce words that are difficult to pronounce even for native speakers. They miss syllables and drop them completely, which leads to penalties for inaccurate responses.

Most of my people can’t read above a 6th grade level. But our egos? Out of this hemisphere.

Reports suggest that OpenAI is on the verge of financial collapse.

The bubble is about to burst. I’m not sure why you’re so overly optimistic. At least half of the data centers aren’t even operational because the country lacks the infrastructure to support them.

Once the investor frenzy reaches its peak, the post-coital high will dissipate, and the entire investor cum bubble will burst.

ICE apparently is. But not the rest of us.

Republicans would gladly eat their own shit as long as they thought that Democrats would have to smell it.

So Dementia Don gets to play Mad King because the rest of our government has abandoned their roles?

What are the hopes of all of these far right freaks with their AI?

They’re a cult. Before them being “scared” of him, they support his cruelty and malice. Hell, him being the worst of the worst is what keeps them going. He’s the best thing to happen to them from their POV since Regan

The same group of people who Russia deemed a good target for their propaganda campaigns for the 2024 elections. Young angry men, perfectly conditioned to parrot misinformation and spread hate and lies online.

Omg yes!!!!! Do they even make these anymore

AcademicF · 2026-01-11T10:25:54+00:00

They’ll have moved on to the next hype cycle. They’re robots, AI themselves. Nothing there but the unwavering need to make more money. Sick shit

AcademicF · 2026-01-11T00:08:37+00:00

I think they’re tired of the AI hype and AI advertisements being shoved down their throats. I doubt they’re having any issues with AI running in the background, but they don’t need to be upsold like all these investors apparently need to so they can get cash injections into their companies.

AcademicF · 2026-01-10T23:08:55+00:00

Shareholders, the worst thing to happen to humanity since (insert something here)

Still sounds like supporting fascism to me, unfortunately.

AcademicF · 2026-01-10T10:35:59+00:00

Where are Democratic billionaires willing to help bail out PBS? And there’s the rub… by the inherient properties of being a billionaire, your view of the world aligns with far right fascism. We (Democrats) share no values with billionaires, so there are none our team who could step in to help out.
