tangent but something I don’t really understand is why openai doesn’t sell ads against their chats with non-paying users. I can’t recall even seeing it brought up as an option. why is that?

I ENTERED THE PROMO CODE AND IT WONT STOP
you guys aren’t gonna like to hear this, but I love the taste of boot. I love to lick every inch of the boot. god yes, every inch has to be glistening and wet. I have to make sure to get all of the gravel out of the treads. the point is I’m thorough. anyway none of you understand normal people
this is so fucking funny. bro nobody but you is surprised
just heard a podcast ad for amazon prime saying it causes “involuntary deal squeals” followed by a categorization of different kinds of customer grunts and squeals according to product. not making this up
now where did I leave my hammer and sickle
in the case of Honduras, a military coup installed a far right government which proceeded to loot the country in various ways, including through privatization. approving charter cities was one of these. so, they can get territory through corruption. they would probably want to keep acquiring territory in the same way they got some in the first place.
the subtext seems to be about them invading their neighbors, but it’s hard for me to imagine them getting the resources for that. it’s really, really, really expensive to outright annex territory and idk how they could do it without the support of an actual country
why do so many awful tech companies have rabbit in their names
fondly remembering replying to these types of people with screenshots from the wikipedia page on affinity fraud. they really hated that
there’s not a lot of ambiguity in what the novels are getting at, so no offense but this line of argument is not worth engaging directly. but I will point out that I didn’t say what pratchett’s views were. part of why people don’t look askance at these books is that his other work is at odds with the realpolitik message I’m pointing out. I can’t and I don’t draw conclusions about his ‘real’ views based on the vimes novels
yeah that’s the conservative spirit right there
I don’t think people get how reactionary the captain vimes books are. look at what’s happening in them. in plain english, you have a cop and his band of good apples + adorably bad apples saving the ass of a dictator again and again, because sometimes you just need a clever steady hand in charge. Pratchett was informed by liberal humanist values, and there’s plenty of great stuff about tolerance in there. but the foundation of any vimes novel is an institutionalist urge to bootlicking. it just has to be the right boot
I guess if we’re doing the rise of fascism again it’s inevitable that we’re doing fucking austro-hungarian empire discourse again. somehow the 1940s returned
I have thought about this guy every day since I saw this post
this one really got to me. very upsetting
yud is the uniquely capable person in this area. anyone who even sets foot in it should make groveling to him a high priority. these people are disaster monkeys because they aren’t doing that
I get that this is some sort of attempt at an election related Epic Comeback, but it doesn’t make sense
it doesn’t do either of those things
you know a company is very serious when it uses game balance terminology to describe its HR practices. “I’m sorry, we’re going to have to nerf your salary”
excellent stuff matt
