ɥɔɐoɹAs a broke white kid who grew up with a very diverse group of friends, I can attest to the fact that being exposed to, and falling in love with other cultures at a young age does wonders for empathy, appreciation, and antiracism.
Food is truly a window to the soul of a culture.
Anyway, this TikTok creator is awesome and I love this video in particular.
Adi RobertsonIt’s very funny to me that the dominant Twentieth Century conception of AI was a slightly awkward nerd with an inhuman mastery of facts and logic, when what we actually got is smooth-talking bullshit artists who can’t do eighth-grade math.
cliffThis is a very funny passage to me, but the funniest thing is that: 1) these people exist at every big tech company. and 2) they have been cheering on this bullshit from the sidelines even though they would be first in line to get cut since they spend all their time being edgelords on Slack.
Johnny Normality (Feral Mode)Used to be, a man could own a bag of bones and shake them at a child. That was a job. It was respected and paid a decent wage.
Nowadays, instead of the ways of bones, you are supposed to know Excel. It’s bullshit is what it is.

Steven Op de beeck“Mansplaining as a service.” Spot on.

@[email protected] Christine Lemmer-Webber (@[email protected]) described ChatGPT as Mansplaining As A Service, and honestly I can’t think of a better description. A service that instantly generates vaguely plausible sounding yet totally fabricated and baseless lectures in an instant with unflagging confidence in its own correctness on any topic, without concern, regard or even awareness of the level of expertise of its audience.
