Imagine if we had investments like this into clean energy, infrastructure like fast trains or into healthcare.
Instead it’s all set on fire for bullshit autocomplete.

back on my bullshit

Every republican in an interview should be asked about the statement, read the statement, and then asked to denounce it. Any who don’t denounce it should be told it’s unconstitutional and not debatable and given a 2nd opportunity to denounce it. Those who don’t should have their interviews ended.

Every Republican who goes on the Sunday shows tomorrow should be pressed to denounce this illegal and authoritarian proclamation from the president. And none of this "I didn't read the tweet" bullshit.

Erik Spiekermann on redesign of the Johnson & Johnson logo:
“They’ve been told by tech guys and lazy web-designers that things have to be simplified to work on screens. This is knowledge from the 90s and not true anymore.”
This reminds me of the reason given for the recent redesign of the logo of a Swiss university…

Complete fabrication. Just absolutely making shit up, and so confidently.
(The Apollo Archive is a thing, but it has nothing to do with archive.org, and that hostname has nothing to do with the Apollo Archive.)

State socialism, authoritarian bullshit, tankie trash, and Marxism-Leninism? Fuck that shit straight to hell.
Syndicalism, oh yeah, you’re making me blush over here. Worker self-management? Mmm, that’s the good stuff, keep it coming!

Even if the $180bn claim isn’t bullshit (I’m reasonably confident it’s bullshit), why aren't we acknowledging this makes Musk’s failure rate in government 91%?

Trump 'disappointed' with Elon Musk's attacks on budget bill
In response, Musk accused the president of "Such ingratitude", adding: "Without me, Trump would have lost the election".

Imagine if we collectively spent just 10% of the resources that go into the AI bullshit hype machine on solving, you know, the myriad of existential problems humanity faces.

"We cannot preclude developers from “vibe coding” their way into a working application; but we can teach them how to properly integrate the very likely spaghetti mess produced by those bullshit machines, how to understand it, and how to make it work with today’s compilers, which, let us be honest: are the best we have ever had, and it would be a shame to ignore them completely."

The Allure Of Vibe Coding
"Compiler Explorer" is the name of a fascinating project by Matt Godbolt, a British C++ software developer living in Chicago. It is the simplest and most wonderful thing; just paste a snippet of code on the left pane (in C, C++, D, C#, Java, Python, and a myriad more languages), and you will see on the right its equivalent in assembly code, as produced by one of a long list of compilers, including some commercial ones, for a wide variety of CPU architectures and software versions.

Northern Ireland on its bullshit again. Sure, why not light a giant fire as part of an annual set of racist gestures beside an electricity substation that serves two major hospitals?

I may need to get back to doing illustrations again since it's been about a year that I took a break...
Hand drawn stuff (even if digitally) might be the future of human art with all this AI bullshit going on.

Illustrations
In March 2024 I started doing sketches on an iPad using Procreate and an Apple Pencil. As of writing this it's May 2024 and I'm still doing it. I'll try to keep this page updated with new illustrations as they are completed. Each illustration links to a page with more info about it, and some [...]

Vergelijk het verslag van het gesprek tussen Trump en Merz in #Nieuwsuur eens met het onderstaande.
Ze hebben bij Nieuwsuur erg hun best gedaan om zoveel mogelijk bullshit eruit te knippen en de indruk te wekken alsof Trump er nog 2 of 3 op een rijtje heeft.

I would vote for Satan himself if he campaigned on a platform of making this sort of bullshit punishable by firing squad.

Pornhub is making bullshit claims regarding the privacy issues of the French gov age verification requirements. There are very real and significant problems with the French gov approach, but Pornhub's approach is significantly worse.
Pornhub wants to put the burden of age verification and enforcement on user devices. They even name the actors that should have to bear that burden: Google, Apple and Microsoft.
First off, this creates an artificial monopoly: three American compa…

We are so fucking doomed. The people with the real money are fulfilling their own paranoid fantasies: they’ve become servants of AGI: Artificial Generalized Imbecility. And the people with the skills and credentials to call them on it just don’t. https://eigenmagic.net/@NewtonMark/114

Attached: 1 image An advertising company uses a bullshit machine to pretend to be a climate engineer, hilarity ensues. “Meta’s AI climate tool raised false hope of CO2 removal, scientists say” https://www.ft.com/content/69220fea-9c9a-4f55-9118-65d2660c85d4 ping @davidgerard@circumstances.run Maybe for our next trick we can ask a car manufacturing company how to grow tulips. It’d make the same amount of sense as asking Meta how to remove atmospheric CO2.

Tidal is getting over run with AI bullshit. It's slowly making the app not worth paying for.

@… I find myself suspecting the inflection is on purpose.
That way you can never call out their bullshit, because they were “just asking”.

I honestly think Trumps cribs his hedgy bullshit answers from a Magic 8 Ball -
- Better not tell you now
- Ask again later
- Signs point to yes
- You may rely on it
- Outlook good
- Outlook not so good
- My sources say no
- As I see it, yes

The narrative that #AI will do all routine and we can just focus on important/strategic/big picture things works because it tell us that we are oh so smart and special. WE DO THE BIG STUFF.
Newsflash: If your big picture decisions are not grounded in real experience they are gonna end up bullshit.

I just called AI bullshit on Marriott's web support. It's infuriating when a company can't be bothered to actually read what you send them, and responds with long, detailed instructions that contain made-up facts (I don't even have an iPhone), and that are unresponsive to a fully reproducible issue I repeatedly described in detail.
I don't think even the laziest, sloppiest human would produce a response like they just sent me.
And this is like the 10th message…

Wissenschaftler:innen haben herausgefunden: Wer ChatGPT oder andere Bullshit-Generatoren nutzt, verblödet innerhalb kurzer Zeit.

"Instead of calculators, we could sit at exams with certain books on our desks, filled with logarithm and trigonometry tables, featuring formulae for algebra, calculus, and geometry. French-speaking Swiss students might remember the ubiquitous “Formulaire et Tables” of the “Commissions romandes de mathématiques, de physique et de chimie”, published by the Éditions du Tricorne, that many generations of Swiss students used during their exams."

Banning, Adopting, Reckoning
Last month, OpenAI, the company (in)famous for their ChatGPT product, released a course called "ChatGPT Foundations for K-12 Educators", an event that has raised more than a few eyebrows, and even some outrage. We must have a serious conversation about the value of a bullshit generator in the context of teaching programming skills to new generations.

I have never had a phone migration go smoothly. They are always a shit show. And 90-95% of the problems are not technical but just bullshit, people making mountains of molehills. I got supervisory scolded today for laughing when someone told me how dare I cause these problems today, on the busiest day of the year. WTF?! Laughing was apparently not the correct response.

I'm a fucking Anarchist, and I’m not shutting the hell up! Stop trying to convince me otherwise. If you don’t like my path and my knowledge, then I have a damn good option for you!
Move the fuck on with your life. Find new friends, meet new people, connect with those who share your interests. Stop wasting your time trying to change me.
Fuck off telling me to vote in some bullshit election. Stop trying to talk me out of anarchism and revolutionary syndicalism. I’m done with th…

Just disable apparmor/selinux, boot mitigations=off, and run everything as root. I've lost too many months of my life fighting bullshit trying to keep me safe from myself on isolated, ephemeral systems. I need to get stuff done, not navigate some robo-bureaucracy!
