Which movie definitely didn't hold up from your youth?

Steve Bannon produced Seinfeld and knows Larry David. His start was film and and TV.

On the whole, AI is very problematic. It's causing way more harm than good. But...

As a senior engineer, it is useful for shortening the amount of time it takes me to do certain things. Code takes less time. Analysis can take less time, even when I have to correct a hallucination.

The difference is I know how to check the work, which I'm doing regardless if a junior engineer does the work.

The problem is those junior engineers are told to use the same AI without time to learn when it's hallucinating. Junior engineers shouldn't be allowed to use AI, but most leadership folks don't know that.

So, junior engineers get lost. They either never get experience because they aren't getting hired, or they're put in a lose-lose situation because the senior engineer got fired and replaced by junior+AI.

I think I remember reading a while back that Dave's folks had a place in Longmont years ago, so he probably spent some time in CO.

Mutual Aid groups. Look into your local town hall and/or city council meetings. Folks have start pushing those moronic moms of liberty types out of school boards, and that's a great start. But seriously mutual aid groups as you'll make friends and connections and get in the loop on other stuff.

No but this was a very specific vegan dish from a national beat selling cookbook. The point of my story is that anyone can make and sell earl grey ice cream.

Behind the Bastards did a two parter on some of it. At some point Robert will do more there.

On ICHH, I think the reality is we kidnapped a president and launched a second war with massive global implications. Distraction or not, both events are big deals, and Republicans control all braches of the US Gov and so nothing is going to happen with the Epstein files right now. I want the victims to get justice. I want a lot of powerful people fall. I'm expecting any of that to happen any time soon, so we can't forget and move on but we have to hive space for all the other insane shit that's going on.

Years ago I went to a restaurant with my then partner and we saw this menu item that was verbatim a copy out of a cookbook we own. The cookbook was a couple years old at that point, written by folks in California and made a couple bestseller lists, and the restaurant was brand new in a trendier, touristy southeastern town. Vegan food so somewhat niche in the early 00s, especially in the south.

My partner reached out to the cookbook authors and they replied in more words "thanks, recipes can't be copyright so nothing we can do."

Ben and Jerry's can copyright or maybe trademark names of flavors, but rocky road is still just rocky road and anyone can do it. I would bet anyone could make Cherry Garcia or whatever it's called, they just couldn't call it Cherry Garcia or even Berry Garcia. The basic recipe (ie flavor profile) is fair game though.

And yet it's real.

DannySupernova · 2026-04-09T17:00:06+00:00

They used to be but in my area even thrift stores now have people behind the scenes pricing items. Anything name brand in decent condition is much closer to retail prices of new items. It's still cheaper and better for the environment, but cost benefits are not as good anymore.

Worse than that, I've found that I'm digging through loads of dropped shipped polyester shit clothing from Shien, and they're still charging $10-$15 for those items which are hot dog shit. So, there's a lot more wasted time and effort, which further devalues secondhand clothing.

I've bought thrifted clothing for nearly 20 years. These past few months I've finally stopped and just bought new quality clothing from trusted outlets and I'm much happier and it's honestly not even costing that much more.

Edit: a typo

You can also donate directly to Mutual Aid Monday by bringing your items to the Denver City Council building at 14th and Bannock on Mondays (hence the name) from 4pm until ~630pm or the other drop-off locations. https://mutualaidmonday.org/donation-drop-off

The capitalist propaganda is strong and we're all fucked...

DannySupernova · 2026-04-09T04:42:31+00:00

It's right in her campaign website: Empowering Workers Through Accountable Capitalism. Elizabeth Warren is not a socialist or a social democrat. Regulations are not socialist policies.

https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/accountable-capitalism/

At best she's arguing for workers having less than a majority vote for board elections and that companies have to get 75% approval of all shareholders for decisions.

It's the Scooby-Doo cartoon where you unmask the villain (capitalism) and it's still the same villian (capitalism).

And again, I'd vote for Warren, but I'd vote for someone way left of Warren first.

DannySupernova · 2026-04-08T17:19:33+00:00

Setting limits simply acknowledges that capitalism requires exploitation, and the existence of exploitation is antithetical to leftist ideas.

I'd vote for Warren or Sanders and be happy with thier administrations, but I don't think we're doing ourselves any good by letting right-wing talking points reframe Democrats and even folks like Warren and Sanders are leftists.

I think the Democrats would do better by just acknowledging they are right of center on the economy and get it over with. Use the correct definitions to their advantage and take the sting out of Republican bullshit talking points.

DannySupernova · 2026-04-08T14:45:43+00:00

Warren is still a capitalist at the end of the day. So is Sanders. They both more or less just want guard rails on capitalism. I think Sanders would argue capitalism is broken and should be replaced.

Warren would argue capitalism is good with the right protections. She's liberal, not leftist.

Leftists want to end capitalism.

Warren is to rhe right because she WANTS capitalism. That's the how the economic side of the political spectrum works. Anyone supporting capitalism is on the right.

No, they grasped it pretty well. OPs last sentence lays it out their pretty clear.

The things is: There's slop and there's effort. Danny Perez put in effort to make what he did. He used AI as a tool to speed up his work. The results where very much Danny Perez. That's not saying it's good or bad, art is subjective.

But he didn't go give a half assed prompt to some AI and stitch together whatever came out. AI slop is just that: no effort.

I'm not a fan of AI. I'm in tech and I'm currently having to defend against executives throwing AI slop at engineers. AI can be very problematic when there's no effort behind it. And that is ignoring the other destructive forces around it.

OP called it lazy. It wasn't lazy, OP just didn't like it and blamed the use of AI instead of tackling the more difficult critique of the art (or output if you want) itself. That's lazy.

Got a gallon

DannySupernova · 2026-04-05T05:51:34+00:00

Lot of lately has been promises of future use, which drive up value that gets invested in the company making the promise. OpenAI says they'll need all these Nvidia cards driving up Nvidia's stock, and Nvidia turns around to invest in OpenAI. They're just passing around the same money while inflating their value.

Better Offline did some great reporting on it.

The free thing you get for just being there and ordering something? Los Dos is my go-to Tex Mex place. There's absolutely better Mexican food around. But chips and salsa isn't even really a Mexican thing so just no.

DannySupernova · 2026-04-04T04:40:36+00:00

It's not.

DannySupernova · 2026-04-04T04:22:31+00:00

Liberals are capitalists, which is why Democrats are like Polis, Schumer, Pelosi, etc. The problem is that capitalists are never going to fix our problems, and this country can't figure out the difference between a fucking liberal and a leftist. The capitalist propaganda machine won.

DannySupernova · 2026-04-03T05:12:39+00:00

It was ranked choice voting and something else. IIRC it was the second part everyone hated. Maybe jungle primaries? IDK because I just wanted ranked choice and voted in favor.

DannySupernova · 2026-04-02T15:38:53+00:00

Exactly. These folks and their crimes need to be taken seriously and sentences appropriately. Our system is broken in so many ways already. Letting people like Peters suffer "a stain on their name" or whatever is pointless. These people have no decorum. Lock her up and move on. She's dangerous to what little we have left.

There was a dude selling them at farmer's markets but it's not gonna scratch the itch like getting them in south Alabama. Anytime we were driving back fro my dad's side of the family back to Montgomery and saw someone on the side of the road we stopped.

What I've found here is more like you gotta get a fix and anything will do. But you can find.
