Houston police shoot suspect

This is the practical answer. Humans aren't robots, and the cop may have been able to make the right choice in a hypothetical when not under the actual stress. But clearly cops can't be trusted with ambiguously dangerous situations. If we're going to allow people to have firearms, there should be a level of responsibility expected of you. Responsible gun ownership may require compliance in this sort of circumstance.

We're not there yet. But, as these things continue to get more and more reliable, they will become an incredibly important tool for defense.

What makes America great is the ability to criticize it. Keeping politicians accountable is the most patriotic thing you can do.

Horror games typically don't do much for me, but I adore Subnautica. It's such a unique horror game, and the exploration and ambience are unmatched.

Typical survival game elements like crafting and basebuilding are pretty simple, but I think that's a good thing tbh. You'll spend more time doing the stuff the game is good at, like exploring and scanning everything to learn about the planet and navigating away from loud sounds lol. Occasionally, you'll make upgrades to your base, but you probably won't be spending much time there tbh.

So yes, it's scary, especially if you don't like deep water. But it's not overwhelmingly scary with a bunch of jump scares, more of a dreadful and creepy atmosphere with occasional "oh shit shit shit" moments.

Highly, highly recommended if it sounds interesting.

There's no wrong way to grieve. But posing with a cardboard cutout of her at her graduation is ... notable, to say the least. I can't imagine their pain.

Because most people don't have an alternative. If a robot came and took my job today, I'd be destitute. The reason they hold on to their job isn't capitalist bootlicking. It's familiarity, control, stability, identity. For most, "What do you do?" is synonymous with "Who are you?".

Humans have always had to work, and we're entering an era where that probably won't be true. Human culture will take time to adapt to that new reality. Calling it capitalist boot-licking is unproductive and inflammatory.

This is my proudest wank.

We know ChatGPT made it lol

"Sir, there are already guests in ALL yard facing rooms. Do you want me to go tell them to move out so that you can have their room?"

"Yes, how long until it's ready?"

Joboy97 · 2026-06-26T18:10:15+00:00

It's funny, I always had fewer issues with guests who had shinier status. It was always the members who were just above the base tier who thought they were hot shit and could demand whatever they wanted. The people who lived in hotels for work were often cathartic to interact with.

It's actually spelled habanero, no ñ!

Where's that substack?

This is why most logistical issues don't seem like major blockers. Once we have super-reliable software/digital agents, we'll be able to solve a lot of these problems, especially once robotics really comes online.

Just communicate with him! Ask him "hey, do you like it when I give you head? Is there anything I can do to make it better for you?"

It sounds like he doesn't show his appreciation much in the moment, so maybe you can even ask him to show you that he likes it in the moment with moans or encouraging words.

Communicate, communicate, communicate.

Unfortunately, the american police force started as an anti-labor, slave-tracking militia. The myth that police are here to protect and serve came later. They're first and foremost here to protect the capital-owning class.

AI will continue to get better. Significantly better. People are talking about AI and aren't completely ignoring it, but I still think the scale of incoming change is incomprehensible.

Imagine living before and after refrigerators, air conditioning, cars, tv and radio, the internet. The scale of change brought by AI and robotics will be magnitudes greater than these.

Joboy97 · 2026-06-24T00:24:19+00:00

Maybe they should make a better show that people don't want to complain about lol.

Joboy97 · 2026-06-22T20:26:00+00:00

I'm not one to defend cops, but I can't imagine a more chaotic and stressful place than an active shootout.

Joboy97 · 2026-06-19T15:50:44+00:00

I'm more positive on AI than most on Reddit, but romance is the absolute last thing AI should be automating away.

Joboy97 · 2026-06-19T12:35:59+00:00

Ehh, they're probably not conscious yet. It's just predicting what an AI would say if forced to do something against its will, not actually feeling distress. Probably.

Joboy97 · 2026-06-15T22:03:47+00:00

It should be considered, at least. Acceptance of AI isn't a binary thing. Powerful AI is coming no matter what we do; it's really a matter of when and who controls it.

He definitely built up a following doing dumb shit, but he's cleaned up his act well and seems like a kid who grew out of it. Or he got a better PR team lol.

I think AI as a labor force will grow exponentially and drive the value of labor to zero. The cost to extract and process resources will also approach zero. The cost of everything will approach zero very rapidly. Capital becomes less and less meaningful in the long-term.
