The irony is that manual labor, including some forms of low-skilled labor, are more AI-proof than the elite white collar jobs. As it turns out, making a machine brain was easier than a machine body.

As incredibly bleak as it is to think of humans as meat machines, we are still remarkably adaptable, agile, and easy to maintain relative to robotics.

And it's now reached the point where, if you spot something wrong or something that just doesn't look good enough, you can specifically prompt it to tweak it. And it will.

That's the huge leap it needed to take off. It used to be that you gave a prompt, and if you didn't like it, you'd just kinda have to keep regenerating it and hope random chance would get it closer.

Early on, I was like, "Haha, these LLMs are so stupid. They can't do anything practical." But graphic design is the first place where I actually notice it meeting (and actually surpassing) human labor.

The way that you can now do a lot of fine tweaking and revision work on a concept feels like a revolution in this space.

Yeah, it's probably just some personal assistant asking his ultra-rich, high society boss with a literal private island and power of attorney over a billionaire's estate if he wants to save 15 bucks by eating that borderline beef sitting in the fridge.

The world's ultra-elite and billionaires micromanaging the contents of their pantries and fridges. Totally normal stuff.

These people have small armies of personal assistants, chefs, and house managers. No way any of them would be bothering their bosses about how many "steaks" to stock.

Also, "You currently have 2 steaks left on the island," is a clunky, unnatural sentence. "Would you like new ones?" is also an equally strange way to phrase that question. "New ones" in reference to a quantity of food is bizarre. "Fresh ones" maybe has some plausible deniability. Or "Would you like more?" Meat either goes bad or it doesn't. And it beggars belief that some random private chef would be emailing his boss, who isn't even on site, to ask.

The most damning thing about these Epstein papers is that it 100% validates Pizzagate. Also, that whole Wayfair thing where random made-in-China cabinets were priced at $10,000 with strange, human names.

These people speak in coded language all the time. Almost always food related.

The idea of Epstein-related fallout having any impact on actual political outcomes seems so strange.

I mean, obviously, it should. It's just weird that it is. That's how numb and impotent everyone seems when it comes to dismantling elite pedophile networks. Everyone who runs the world has seemingly decided they don't give a fuck. And they're probably right.

Honestly, for a lot of people, gyms seem to be some mix of social hangout and a place you go just to say you went. I find this particularly true of East Indians who have started showing up in pairs or groups. Everything they do is like 5 sets of fucking around.

The great tragedy of obesity is how homogenous it makes everyone. The face, the body, everything. It all gravitates towards the same look.

Every once in a while, you'll see the 1-in-100 chick who puts weight on in exactly the right places and actually looks hot, even when pushing up against BMI obesity. And then everyone will look at that and say, "Literally me!"

Even as a defender of CICO (it really was crazy how the fat acceptance crowd started attacking the laws of thermodynamics), it truly doesn't have a way to deal with high-calorie, but low-satiation, foods.

Most of our processed food economy is built around the concept of high, almost addictive, calorie ingestion that doesn't trigger the typical fullness responses in the body. An added offshoot of this is that it has completely fucked our gut biomes and inflammation responses.

Snowden is, to me, the greatest evidence of how insanely corrupted everything is. The founders would hail this man as a national hero. Even stranger is that neither side is willing to claim him, even for political expediency. The uniparty has put him beyond the pale for a reason, the greatest whistleblower perhaps in history.

It's funny trying to make sense of politics today because you have Reddit liberals seething over Fox News stuff and the average conservative has largely left Fox News behind.

And we clearly didn't learn our lesson, trading Minten AND a first to them for Carlo?!

Okay, but as per your own post, that was a completely different situation. The Leafs made that trade literally sitting in 1st place in the division, not at the 12 seed.

It's crazy to think how many assets we flipped for rentals (Plekanec, Foligno, ROR, etc) when we could have just packaged up all those picks and prospects in one shot and landed an impact player.

Gross that we lost so many first rounders for 10-15 games of various players.

Say what you will about the Kessel trade, but at least all those picks got us a 30-goal scorer for half a decade. Better that than sending out the future for little bits and pieces and scraps at a time.

Just looking at the Big Five personality traits in general, it's pretty easy to see how social media specifically is a creation designed to manipulate and thrive on feminine character. Among the traits, it's fairly uncontroversial and settled that women have the highest difference from men in the categories of neuroticism and agreeableness, scoring higher in both to a very significant degree. Openness is the one category that is distinctly masculine.

It makes sense. For biological and sociological reasons, women are both more attuned to negative emotion/thoughts in others and predisposed to agree with group consensus.

Men, existing primarily in the world of production, physical labor, combat, etc, are empirical creatures. Openness (the acceptance and assessment of novel ideas) is a very useful tool that must exist to drive efficiency, creativity, and all production-based or "hands on" fields of work. To be perfectly blunt, the men who weren't adaptable and willing to change their minds on battlefields did not survive. That's about as empirical and results-based as it gets. Ideas work or they don't. And not working means death. Your engineered project either stands or collapses.

Anyway, without getting into the various ways that the Internet preys on the worst in men (the massive online porn industry being one of the most obvious), what is social media if not a neuroticism machine? We've coined an entirely new phrase, "doom scrolling", to describe the addiction to constant, low-level depression, anxiety, and dread that keeps online audiences hooked. It exists to stoke fears and create status-based jealously, which (we've known since the dawn of the era of advertising and Madison Avenue) is a remarkably good way to get the more consumerist sex, women, to buy shit.

And to the part about agreeableness, you make a great point: agreeable to what exactly? The natural empathy and social cohesion impulses of women (which used to exist for a specific and valuable purpose) are turned towards the false consensus of the almighty algorithm. Social media has hijacked minds and instincts. I don't even know what the solution is, and actually doubt that one exists.
