  • We already have an Everything App that allows you to execute all the different functions of your phone, it’s called the operating system. The proposed app would just be a smaller, shittier OS with fewer functions and no choices. Elon is a failed Steve Jobs—which is depressing because Jobs was also a charlatan—who thinks “what if it was one thing” is actually the answer the all technology, because he doesn’t understand technology as well as he thinks. Pro tip: carrying around 1 device instead of a cell phone, a pager, an mp3 player, and a PDA is helpful. Consolidating different functions that have no reason to interplay with each other into a big mess is not.

    tl;dr it’s shit from a butt



  • Here’s a condensed version of the article:

    Language Learning Model Outputs the Same Kind of Data as its Input

    New groundbreaking journalism has discovered that when you analyze a large pluratily of a given language’s written works, you get data that reflects the biases of the people who wrote it all down, most of whom died 100+ years ago. No word yet as to when the author plans to publish illuminating, hard-hitting investigative journalism into the effects of microwaves on popcorn.






  • I’m a liberal, I can field this one. The form of protest I find acceptable is destruction of government and corporate property, but not working-class peoples’ houses and mom-and-pop businesses. Is it really so much to ask to have rioting confined to productive activities, such as trashing city hall, looting Amazon DCs, destroying private jets and yachts, assaulting corrupt politicians, tarring and feathering billionaires, and burning down police stations? The establishment has successfully recuperated progressive protest by tricking people into associating it with low-level domestic terrorism, “we get what we want or maybe your houses burn down”; what we should be doing is repeatedly yanking the choke chain on the state and the 1% so hard their eyes pop out.





  • The extent of my American education on this matter, paraphrased:

    “During President Eisenhower’s farewell address, he warned the American people against increasing social polarization and the dominance of the military-industrial complex, and then it happened anyway. Ain’t that some shit? Write a paper comparing the ways we ignored the warnings in Eisenhower’s farewell address against the ways we also ignored the warnings in George Washington’s farewell address.”
