Sorry to ask to dissect the frog, but what's the story behind Altman and olive oil?

I'm the opposite, 100 IQ hair-brained.

Breaking spaghetti in 720p to piss off HD Italians.

I never got much of a sense that Charlie would be open to have his own mind changed

No way, really? Are you really doubting the professional nazi troll's desire to have his convictions challenged through good faith dialogue?

The lobsters thread linked in a sibling comment has more examples, but here's him eulogizing Charlie Kirk in a nazi bar https://nitter.net/awesomekling/status/1966456391146606806

Damn, I was kinda hoping the Ladybird guy wouldn't turn out awful but nah, can't have shit in IT.

Fuck, that's good

Glowfic sounds like fan fiction written by CIA agents.

In my ideal version of Omelas there's a secret institution where people like me are given vast power and wealth to think about how to solve the tortured child issue.

The title already says it's a lexture by Thiel— oh wait sorry I see what you mean.

I think "making up a guy to get mad at" is already an idiom as is.

I still read xkcd regularly and think it's pretty good. I don't think "we" as a community need to have a particular opinion of Randall Munroe or his work but personally I think he seems alright and I enjoy the things he makes.

Seems like a stretch to assume that comic does anything to recruit rationalists. If you're not already in the rat pipeline it's just a pretty good joke about probability and if you are, it's still a better example of Bayesian reasoning than whatever the rats pretend to do.

When the "criti" for Amazon is just that it's "boring", I feel we're in plain old hype territory.

I dunno, an AI non-proliferation treaty that gives some rat shop a monopoly on slop machine research could conceivably boost human scientific progress significantly.

Yea I'm a gamer, my girlfriend is a doll of a cutie.

I love the subtle little deadpan gags tom7 always does in these videos. My favorite bit in this video is him casually pretending there are six CoD Black Ops games.

I figured he'd be a lot better known for his YouTube career than for his bsky posting. I see his stuff all the time in my recommendations, though his style isn't my cup of tea so I seldom watch any of them.

Oh good. If I ever need to consult a list of top slop shops sorted by fuckability, I'll try and remember this exists.

Yes, we're losing a lot of money, but have you considered we will definitely make a lot of money tomorrow?
