(at least I think it's that one? one of them's quite the bootlicker. I'm bad at names tho)

anything that makes yglesias have a bad day is generally a good thing

but it sounds like the orange man understands the crypto market perfectly: the numbers are all made up and everyone's lying

ah, doman name sounds like it’s one of the microwork farms

I think it also makes sense to keep in mind that these bayfuckers are extremely brained by the knowledge of how big tiktok etc are presently - platforms that operate as amplifying distributors and enlarge the likelihood of parasocial relationships, as well as that allows someone like themselves to be the bridge troll they wish to be[0]

that they want to encourage it is also not too surprising, because they do not give a shit about the health of their marks

[0] - because again, rent extraction is the only business model they understand

fuck that's gross

where'd you find/run across that? can't tell if it's a normal ad or some gig-site thing or what

Its only a matter of time before tech will be able to generate controlled/scripted moving images of full synthetic humans

that time arguably happened yeaaaars ago. character movement animation rigs are a hell of a far cry from where they started

you know, there's a good conversation to be had about the cultural void that's come about as a result of the marvel generation having economic leverage and disposable income, and the extremely fucked state of affairs from the film industry having gone where it has in the last ~20y alone, but I don't know if I know enough to be the one to do it. although I'd welcome pointers if anyone knows a film/media critic with some chops that's taken this on

related to the marvel generation, I occasionally think about this post. when I do end up thinking about the shit. which largely happens when I once-in-months look to whether there's anything good to see at cinema

Haha I saw it from new comments view, didn’t check the thread title

Constellation Energy shut down the Unit 1 reactor in 2019 — not the one that melted down in 1979, the other one — because it wasn’t economical. Inflation Reduction Act tax breaks made it viable again

almost like it was literally in the article

it seems matty boy's recently become a student of the sbf school of thought too

It also helps to recognize how much many of these people see all of this as a competition, and trying to out-unique/out-possess their peers

ah yes, $42, definitely a "the same amount of compute is used" figure

these results are remarkably damning. I knew things were bad, but god damn this is impressively shit

fuck your black friday then

the institutionalisation of it is/was also just fucking nuts

and then in recent years it's slowly been creeping out into other countries too, with other vendors in other places aping "black friday deals"

I have no mouth and I must scream
