Despite Mr. Davis' commitment to verbose apologetics, his faith movement is based around the devotional practice of wandering around pulling spurious probability estimates out of one's ass

A recent innovation on this practice, among the degenerate indulgence-retailers of the movement, is the posting of graphs showing hopelessly low-liquidity betting pools on prediction market websites

We have at least one major worked example of that in Scientology, but IIRC many of the rats are reluctant to even accept that

what in the world does any of this bull shit have to do with showing off your mid-tier Yamaha sport bike

I'll buy that for a fully-depreciated H100 GPU

That's good news! Mpreg rpf must rank almost as high on Big Yud's evidence scale as serious nerd out-fighting blogs, so we'll soon be able to move forwards with an official decision thanks to your efforts.

tl,dr; Thiel now sees the Christofascists as a more durable grifting base than the EAs, and is looking to change lanes while the temporary coalitions of maximalist Trumpism offer him the opportunity.

I repeat my suspicion that Thiel is not any more sober than Musk, he's just getting sloppier about keeping it out of the public eye.

My velocity has increased 10x and I'm shipping features like a cracked ninja now, which is great because my B2B SaaS is still in stealth mode.

Yeah it's satire, but effective satire means you can never really tell...

they seem to have trained on nearly everything you've ever heard of. especially a lot of Perl

This is profoundly hilarious to me for some reason. AppleScript, of all things, also seems suspiciously high on that graph. As does Pascal running neck and neck with Swift.

Open Anus Impossibly? My friend, this is nothing new, that site has been around for at least 25 years

This is just haplessly comical. The AI-generated sinister hijab lady, the attempts at algorithm-compliant YouTube face, the fact that they're doing this instead of raising their kids (which may be beneficial for the kids in the long run...) Who do they imagine they're convincing?

A møøse ønce bit my spare 4th child, the disappøinting øne with a løw scøre øn Raven's Prøgressive Matrices...

klassless pooper

Australian posters: is this an appropriate circumstance to tell these people to "get a dog up ya"

and “Slaughterbots” which I’ve never heard of.

I've never heard of "Slaughterbots" either, but yesterday I did find out that "Thunderpants" is real and apparently much more well regarded than you might expect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderpants

During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, Paul Giamatti referred to this film as one of the high points in his career.[4] In 2023, whilst promoting The Holdovers, Giamatti referred to Thunderpants as "brilliant" and "one of the most remarkable movies [he's] been in".[5]

You will be allotted your weekly ration of tokens, comrade, and you will be grateful

this only happens to people sufficiently low-status

A piquant little reminder that Yud himself is, of course, so high-status that he cannot be brainwashed by the machine

Allfather help me, I've got too much o' th' computer

Me and Charmander who lives on my keychain are never hanging out with you again!!!

What in the world is a catturd2 public appearance like, anyway? This sad, drunk old loser shouting random slurs at the crowd?

Apparently, for some corporate customers, Outlook has automatically turned on AI summaries as a sidebar in the preview pane for inbox messages. No, nobody I've talked to finds this at all helpful.
